I have always felt a certain comfort by listening to this track, there's like a soft embrace you feel when you close your eyes and listen to it.
It feels like you're floating on air, over a beautiful field of flowers, on a sunny afternoon.
I have already written quite a different text for Music To Grieve To with this piece attached to it. It's amazing how sometimes life changes the way you feel about music.
Right now I feel like I need a big embrace, a big force of love to surround me. Back then, I wanted to honor the dead, there are so many here.
And there are many more than before, many more than last time. This is a country that has periodic massacres and so many deaths. It ends up being a part of your life. People still suffer when they find out about the killings, although not as much as someone who hasn't lived constantly exposed to their existence all their lives.
But there's always hope, like the lotus flower, which is born out of the dense mud. Colombia has so many flowers, you'd be amazed by their beauty. They not only appear in the human form, but on so many different shapes and sizes.
Colombia is terribly exhausting to so many. To me it's just a keystone to human evolution, where the most incredibly beautiful and most horrendous things coexist, realizing that there's no actual irony when they witness the peace beneath the surface. It's just part of the road, the learning path towards unity.
Sometimes I feel exhausted and this music caresses me, right now I feel drained, but this music swings me to peace, gives me a reminder that all is temporary, everything will be alright and we'll all find peace.
