Soon, love, soon
Soon, love, soon

Soon, love, soon
There'll be a fire burning in the temple of our peace
Soon, love, soon
There'll be a soaring voice for our silent pleas
Soon, love, soon
We will hold our broken circle and begin to pray
Soon, love, soon
We will find a black and white in the gray

And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
(x3)

Soon, love, soon
We will find illumination in unnatural light
Soon, love, soon
You will travel a thousand miles without leaving my sight
Soon, love, soon
We will find we never knew hatred ran so deep
Soon, love, soon
Such a wide, wide chasm of faith to leap

But we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
(x3)

Soon, love, soon
There will be an evolution of the human soul
Soon, love, soon
We will know that be a part is to be truly whole
Soon, love, soon
We will know the pattern of centuries rise and fall
Soon, love, soon
We will know that the fate of one is the fate of all

And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
(x7)

She is such an awesome person, and such a multi-instrumentalist! I was lucky and blessed to see her do a show at e-Town Hall here in Boulder on July 13. It's an intimate venue; a recording studio, really, without the glass, and the sound is stellar as can be. She was lovely, radiant, absolutely stunning, with long hair, a frilly dress, and suede boots, and yet she was down to Earth and genuinely fun. She told us how she misses living here (I think her husband still does work for NCAR), how she had found it necessary to take a step back from the spotlights for awhile to raise her young daughter -- who was up late and in the audience for the first time, she said! and she gave us a remarkable performance to remember forever. She took and played requests, and moved us mightily at every turn. She was adept at all the technology -- she had a mind-blowing array of toys, from keyboards to hand-held things from The Future, but what she blew us away with most was her pure passion, consummate skill and musicianship, and her incredible desire to make a difference. When she played "Level Up," we were all completely under her spell, and we did not want it to be broken...and the high we all felt still remains. She is a goddess! and you should by all means make the effort to see her and feel her magic!


Thank you coloradojohn.  What a beautiful review.  Your posts always reveal just how much you love and deeply appreciate music.

The point where she sings that we're all one god. Not the holy tri-fold, but today's billion-fold,  you've got to adjust to the times!

Amen. Tat tvam asi. Namaste. Of course we must realize that pantheism or pansolipsism are really just one face of the coin that has atheism on the other side. If everything is "God" then the term is ultimately meaningless. The whole point of a word is to distinguish what it references from the the things it does not reference. To reference everything is to reference nothing. And I'm okay with that. I can't think of anything more profoundling meaningful.
 

I love this comment!

And I enjoy this song. I find that haunting (contrapuntal?) soft chorus: "And we will never..." just arresting. 8 from me.

I don't know where I read the following, but it sticks in my mind as a joke:
A deist wants to talk to an atheist about God. The atheist says "Fine, but first we have to define our terms."

I think that taking any firm "position" on the question(s) of divinity implies a failure of imagination and of humility.
Of course, my opinion plus about $4 will get you a cup of coffee.

I'm pretty sure she multitracked all the vocals a la Freddie Mercury. Nicely done.
Posted 12 years ago by WonderLizard    [ Reply ]
That's a very Enya-esque backing. A cute enough song, and would be nice background music, but it'll not linger long in the memory. Vienna Teng's recorded some really good stuff, full of emotion and imagination and intelligence, but this is a relatively bland offering for all the interesting lyrics which bear investigation. Still, worth a 5 from the Nottingham jury.

I see what you did there, Bill!

Cool idea of putting "Imagine" by John Lennon next to thins song.  {#Smile}  One song sings about how things will be wonderful when everyone stops believing in God, and the other song sings about how things will be wonderful when everyone becomes one God.

Though, I think it would have been better to put "Imagine" after "Soon Love Soon" in the playlist.

I'm not sure the lyrics are as inspirational as you think. In the background you hear, "And we will, and we will never." It seems, she is sadly aware that it is simply just a dream.

Phin, you wrote this 2 years ago, so you're obviously beyond hope. But for everyone else, the trick is to never let them hear the Raffi in the first place. Stick to kid-friendly stuff in your own collection and never let on that there is anything else. "Baby Beluga" is a really cute song... once every three years or so. Much more is the reason there is a whole site dedicated to the AR-15.

regardless of what we individually believe, human conception of divinity has the same massive variation across time and space as every other part of culture. the idea of divinity or its voice residing within us is the central mystical idea, and persists across religions, including Christianity, for the past several dozens of centuries. maybe it's disheartening to some to think there's not an absolute external authority that we can measure ourselves against; I enjoy the challenge of finding a meaning and morality for ourselves, and I think the societal results are about even with authority-focused spirituality.
