Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
–Thomas Carlyle, The Opera (1852)
Not much to say this morning. Just going to share a simple triad of word, image and song. For this week’s selection for Sunday Morning Music, wanted to share a new song, Angel, from the Black Pumas, which is an Austin, TX-based band described as being psychedelic soul.
I don’t know about that, but I’ve liked most everything I’ve heard from them and played their songs here a couple of times before this. The sound and mood of this tune, along with Eric Burton‘s soaring vocals, have a haunting quality. And maybe that is appealing as we trudge towards Halloween. Or maybe because it also brings us near to the infinite, as Carlyle observed above.
I don’t know.
