‘Fortune presents gifts not according to the book…’
Dead Can Dance

The intro to the fifth track of the Dead Can Dance CD has a single note held throughout, like the drone you hear beneath the melody line of a bagpipe. In this specific intro, there is no bagpipe, just a drone, and a keyboard melody.

Many songs are sung.
Our lives play out
against the background hum,
melodies-
tiny tributaries-
that branch
from the river
for a space of time
and flow back in
to the core,
to the energy
of the all

Hear that hum, and hear source.
