Pale Mourner
[This song is available on SoundCloud and all streaming services, links below.]
'The light wraps you in its mortal flame.
Abstracted pale mourner, standing that way
against the old propellers of the twilight
that revolves around you.'
Excerpt from The Light Wraps You - Pablo Neruda.
I draw a lot of musical inspiration from the poems of Pablo Neruda (1904 - 1973). He was a Chilean diplomat and politician who also happened to be one of the greatest love poets of all time. Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.
Although it's not Pablo Neruda's intent -- when I read the excerpt above -- I immediately visualized a mourning angel. I'm a happy go-lucky guy. I'm not exactly sure why my personal music has such a brooding feel. Maybe it's a divining rod situation -- where I'm just channeling it from our collective environment.
