Description
This song marks the first collaboration between packosmokes and me. Packo has such a great voice and adds incredible energy, youth and coloring uniqueness to the vocal textures of this piece. (It is also a soothing respite from the Industrial tracks he usually posts!) It was wonderful shuttling drafts back and forth. He added 5 tracks of vocals, which I double and shifted and then added 3 new tracks of my own to fill out. trying for a lush yet accessible backing vocals thing. I am thrilled that we will be working on more tunes in the future.

Lyrics
WHAT THOU LOVEST WELL
As a child we come forth lovingly,
Holding hands in the sureness of day.
As a child our eyes shine wantingly
And our hearts sing in a effortless way.
And as they, in the fields with the wild running
Open up like the spring flowers,
So our hearts (and our minds) gather in treasures
That our joy tells us is ours.
For what thou lovest well remains with thee,
The rest falls like rain to the sea.
In this love we cite the foundation
Of all wisdom, all joy, of all need.
And as songs from the brook spring forth like jewels,
So our hearts bring forth their songs.
And as birds 'bove our heads gather in windswells,
So to each we will belong.
For what thou lovest well remains with thee,
The rest falls like rain to the sea.
In this love we cite the foundation
Of all wisdom, all joy, of all need.
Do di do do di do do lo lo lo la
What thou lovest well remains.
Will remain. Will always remain. Always remain.
Love opens wide, love brings inside.
Once in you, you're made anew.
As a child we raise our hearts to each
Bringing heaven to earth in our stay.
And our hands find each other in holy reach
And our hearts sing in an effortless way.
What thou lovest well will always remain.
(Inspired by Ezra Pounds' Cantos.)
As a child we come forth lovingly,
Holding hands in the sureness of day.
As a child our eyes shine wantingly
And our hearts sing in a effortless way.
And as they, in the fields with the wild running
Open up like the spring flowers,
So our hearts (and our minds) gather in treasures
That our joy tells us is ours.
For what thou lovest well remains with thee,
The rest falls like rain to the sea.
In this love we cite the foundation
Of all wisdom, all joy, of all need.
And as songs from the brook spring forth like jewels,
So our hearts bring forth their songs.
And as birds 'bove our heads gather in windswells,
So to each we will belong.
For what thou lovest well remains with thee,
The rest falls like rain to the sea.
In this love we cite the foundation
Of all wisdom, all joy, of all need.
Do di do do di do do lo lo lo la
What thou lovest well remains.
Will remain. Will always remain. Always remain.
Love opens wide, love brings inside.
Once in you, you're made anew.
As a child we raise our hearts to each
Bringing heaven to earth in our stay.
And our hands find each other in holy reach
And our hearts sing in an effortless way.
What thou lovest well will always remain.

Something about the harmonies--the packosmokes/
mueller choir--elevates this to heavenly, Beach Boys,
Good Vibrations levels. Beautiful piece.
