My faith:
• The Tower of Babel was built by a united humanity to reach the heavens. And the Lord said, "Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." So God stopped their efforts by confusing languages and scattered them to different parts of Earth. (Genesis 11)
• The bible was translated by men, you may find flaws or it will be difficult to understand or believe. God does not want us to be able to prove he exists, he wants us by faith alone. You may find God in the truest form of love or at your weakest moment...you must seek him and ask him in. All other work is busy work that someday will wear and crumble. When I was little I wanted to be an architect. It has taken me many years to start building with purpose. I hope to be a bridge, not a tower.
• Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
~Ludwig van Beethoven~
• A Painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.
~Leopold Stokowski~
Music of the Woods by Vladimir Kush
Sounds Like: A very tranquil Fiona Apple or Tori Amos
And thank you for saying...
• "You sound like Sia's song Breathe Me."
• "...Like Nelly Furtado's song In God's Hands."
• "You sound like an Angel!"
• "Find Your Way reminds me of Sufjan Stevens."
• "Not unlike Tori Amos! ...good company to keep! That's pretty amazing, the sound you've been able to get with such humble equipment. There's a "clean purity" to your music that I really like, and the "delicate" vocals...very nice."
• "I saw you were a friend of Imogen Heap ... I am very impressed, you have a great voice and lovely music."
• "My daughter wanders around the house singing "...listen to your heart..." If she isn't doing it, I find myself singing it while I do little things like emptying the dishwasher!"
