I dag er der en times udsendelse om mit arbejde med mental lindring med naturlyde og musik på helende hospiceturne støttet af Velliv Foreningen – lyt med i Roskilde Dampradio www.dampradioen.dk vært Frank Gliese 14. maj kl. 14:00
Og der kan man i dag høre et par smukke klip fra især en hospicekoncert, hvor både naturlyde og piano samt improvisation blev samplet på min recorder – oplev en sang udvikle sig over få minutter sammen med publikum.
Du kan få nogle indtryk i interviewet, hvor Frank også spørger til det andet format, Low-fi-koncerterne, som hver gang giver power til den innovative side af mit kunstneriske virke. Vi taler også lidt om koncerten i Bjergsted Musikhus med fire gange den norske grammyvinder Lars Martin Myhre, som jeg spiller koncert med i juni.
Probably one of the most relevant Dylan-songs right now…❤️
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? And where have you been, my darling young one? I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I’ve walked and I crawled on six crooked highways, I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? And what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’, I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’, I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’, I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’, I heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’, I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’, I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? And who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded in hatred,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
And, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And, what’ll you do now, my darling young one? I’m a-goin’ back out ‘fore the rain starts a-fallin’, I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, And the executioner’s face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I’ll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it, And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it, And I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’, But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
Bob Dylan, performed his song in public for the first time 22 Sept 1962.
One month later, on October 22, U.S. President John F. Kennedy appeared on national television to announce the discovery of Soviet missiles on the island of Cuba, initiating the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the sleeve notes on the Freewheelin’ album, Nat Hentoff would quote Dylan as saying that he wrote “A Hard Rain” in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
She enchanted and frightened me as a child with her sharp pen that had retained the ability to see the world through the eyes of a wounded child.
Tove’s books are still relevant. In light of addictions in the modern United States, her books have gained new market.
“Childhood / Youth / Dependency review – memoirs of art and addiction”
A new translation, ‘only’ 30 years after a translated edition that ran out.
“The ideas of conforming and belonging have a strong influence in Danish society.
Her family was working-class, and she was not able to go to high school, because she had to work. She followed her parents’ desire for her to marry up.“
She married as they told her, but she did become a poet and a writer🙏
The marriage however becomes a trap for an addiction that she describes.
Now I recommend Americans to read her newly translated works.
