Wintertime Message Jane Winter 2019-11-27 | Greetings all as the festive season takes wing - this is the gorgeous Bold Orion by Susan McKeown & Lindsey Horner. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :) I want to thank you all so much for following along and watching/listening to my wee playlists over the last few years. As some of you have already discovered, I've recently found about half of them suddenly blocked for 'copyright issues' with some of the songs on them. Obviously this makes me sad (and puzzled - most of them have been up for several years with no problems) and really sucks for the people who had monetized their own tracks.I will try to remake them all on youtube without the 'problem' songs as time and health permit, and in the meantime duplicate them all on Spotify where you can find me as janiejynx or Jane Winter. I am also putting the track listings in the comments below so you can recreate them for yourselves if you would like to. I wish you all the Happiest of Holidays!

Deidres Lament Jane Winter 2019-10-31 | Deidre's Lament - Alexander James AdamsShort is the span of the mortal heartLong is the length of grievingDeep is the wound only time can healShallow, the words of comfortingSharp is the pain of the parting of soulsDull is the mind of it's needingCool is the touch of Death's merciless handHot are the tears of the weepingDark is the day when the news is first heardBright is the sun with it's passingBrief is the crossing from life into deathEndless, the soul everlastingGreat is the loss of those left now behindSmall are the troubles of ordinary dayTightly we hold to thy memoryFreely we wish thee upon thy wayFreely we wish thee upon thy way

Old Woman leads us through the darknessOur most ancient and trusted of friendsShe carries the light of spiritual insightAnd leads us to our wisdom once again And as we journey through the darknessAnd as we continue to descendWe learn to let go of what obscures our soulAnd re-discover our true being in the end

Pics as ever by people more artistic than wot I am."And so the Shortest Day came and the year diedAnd everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white worldCame people singing, dancing,To drive the dark away.They lighted candles in the winter trees;They hung their homes with evergreen;They burned beseeching fires all night longTo keep the year alive.And when the new year's sunshine blazed awakeThey shouted, revelling.Through all the frosty ages you can hear themEchoing behind us - listen!All the long echoes, sing the same delight,This Shortest Day,As promise wakens in the sleeping land:They carol, feast, give thanks,And dearly love their friends,And hope for peace.And now so do we, here, now,This year and every year." - Susan Cooper

#ESAendgame Jane Winter 2013-03-14 | "Alone we whisper; together we shout."(Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music.)WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAKFor too long we've heard them laughing at our dreamsRidicule our reasons and blind ignoring what it meansFor too long we have believed the walls they madeBut now we see a shining light and we are not afraid CHORUSWhen the people speak it's not with corporate liesIt's not with indecision no or academic bows and tiesWhen the people speak it thunders through these hillsIt's not a thing that's mild and meekWhen the people speak There's a fear that's made to keep us in our placePacify our anger and justify our fool disgraceThere's a fear made to destroy and to degradeBur now we see a shining light and we are not afraidCHORUS
