"Angels, where you soar Up to God's own light, Take my own lost bird On your hearts tonight; And as grief once more Mounts to heaven and sings, Let my love be heard Whispering in your wings." (From "A Prayer" by Alfred Noyes)

My local concert hall is programming A Silence Haunts Me and Beethoven's 9th in the same concert and I think they're doing that if only to try to bait me specifically into buying tickets because I am a simple man, I will cry if I get to hear A Silence Haunts Me IRL.

autistic choral student culture is coping with loss of skills/burnout by listening to "A Silence Haunts Me" by Jake Runestad on repeat

(it's a piece about Beethoven coming to terms with his deafness and you should totally give it a listen)

if i watch the time, some of my friends will die

if i watch the time, i shall surely die myself

let me then gather all my friends around me and carve an endless moment out of stone

Angels where you soar, Up to God’s own light, Take my own lost bird, On your hearts tonight; And as grief once more, Mounts to heaven and sings, Let my love be heard, Whispering in your wings.

This week on Music Mondays: “Nyon Nyon”, composed by Jake Runestad and sung by the Youth Choir of Vorarlberg!

This song is basically the flip side to “Let My Love Be Heard”. It is the weirdest choir song I have ever heard and probably the most pure fun to sing.

Very beautiful, and very sad. The video explains more of the context, but this whole song is definitely worth a listen. If you’re prone to crying (like me) I’d maybe advise you to have some tissues ready.

And yes, this is the song I got my blog name from.
