What does this song make you feel? 🥀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The infinite beauty of traditional music is that no matter the country, culture or language I feel that they connect with each other in an intimate and magnetic way. This song made me cry in the first few seconds I heard it. I find it very magical how traditional songs like this can carry a message over time that feeds, teaches and restores faith in our hearts. These melodies carry within them, hidden treasures in beautiful decorated boxes, the feelings of so many incarnated beings who sang on this earth: what they loved, what they cried, what they dreamed of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s why ancestral music touches something inside us. They restore our unity. A common root of beauty, love and happiness gently mixed with sadness. Light that radiates through dance, through play, a sensitive heart and within it so much water... On the smile a tear. Bittersweet, duality in sound. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel it in this song, in indigenous songs, in modal songs, in Luiz Gonzaga, in côcos de roda and traditional dances of my beloved country. In the children songs of Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, in the fire of African songs, in the mantras of Buddhism, in the sounds of the mountains and in the ice. From the desert to the deepest forest and rivers, there seems to be a perfect connection between these universes. A viscerality that has always enchanted me and moved me to the depths of who I am. I have been studying this for years now and I just can’t get enough of this beauty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This song does that to me. “And all the harm I’ve ever done, it was to none but me” This cut me in two. It’s a farewell song, which I sing today as I say goodbye to myself. Of so many patterns and things that are changing in my life right now. What I lived and love, but I need to let go. How much I need to let go of the fear of the new. Of not knowing what will come. And may it bring me a new level of my soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope this song can connect you to all the souls who have ever sung on this Earth, beautiful soul 💫 The Parting Glass • Traditional Scottish Song 🌕 #scottish #traditional #acapella #music
