Description
I asked Char, one of our newer members, to send me a vocal of her poem - The Awe Full Truth - and was thrilled when she did so. She is somewhat shy about her singing - but as you can hear - has a lovely singing voice. This was a rough vocal done on a built-in computer mic - but something about the tone is very appealing - and I didn't have to do much other than add some reverb. In accompaniment, I tried to build drones and slight contrapuntal rhythms around it - with a sad cello in the lower register. If you like it, please be sure to encourage Char and perhaps we'll get to hear more of her unique voice on MJ.

Lyrics
Awe-ful Truth (Lyrics by Char)
What can I say about this world
And all the hurting people in it?
At break neck speed we're often hurled
And can lose ourselves in a minute.
Oh yeah, and can lose ourselves in a minute.
To pass on by the needy ones
Requires our justification.
Inhumanity often stuns
Beyond all appreciation.
I think we are all scared to death.
So we withhold our understanding.
We are frightened with every breath,
That we' re the ones needing mending.
Don't you see and won't you believe,
Everyone is somehat broken,
(Has)Lost capacity to receive
And from dark dreams un-awoken.
What can I say about this world
And all the hurting people in it?
At break neck speed we're often hurled
And can lose ourselves in a minute.
Oh yeah, and can lose ourselves in a minute.
What can I say about this world
And all the hurting people in it?
At break neck speed we're often hurled
And can lose ourselves in a minute.
Oh yeah, and can lose ourselves in a minute.
To pass on by the needy ones
Requires our justification.
Inhumanity often stuns
Beyond all appreciation.
I think we are all scared to death.
So we withhold our understanding.
We are frightened with every breath,
That we' re the ones needing mending.
Don't you see and won't you believe,
Everyone is somehat broken,
(Has)Lost capacity to receive
And from dark dreams un-awoken.
What can I say about this world
And all the hurting people in it?
At break neck speed we're often hurled
And can lose ourselves in a minute.
Oh yeah, and can lose ourselves in a minute.
