"Rome my (dear) Rome
my (beautiful) darling (treasure)
my (jewel)
sky full of sun and light
you dance so well (so well)
so slowly..."
PROLOGUE suggests the miracle of life, conception, motherhood, and remembrance of things past. The cycle of life and death is reflected in the cycle of the day - the painting of morning, afternoon, and night.
The song of the oil and the brush... So the lovers begin, with a kiss...
A tryst... Tristan and Isolde under the ivy? ...
(The Kiss by Gustav Klimt)
An Architect's Dream is possibly allegorical for God making the world. The Great Architect of the Universe (GAOTU, also Grand Architect of the Universe or Supreme Architect of the Universe) is a conception of God discussed by many Christian theologians and apologists. As a designation it is used within Freemasonry to neutrally represent whatever Supreme Being to which each member individually holds in adherence.
An Architect's Dream celebrates the mystical union of love and the sensuous appreciation of life. A meditation on life’s contrasts, Shadows and Light, and maybe with some dark accents coming in from the side... Mmm, that's good!
At the end of An Architect's Dream, it is revealed that the painter is painting on the sidewalk, and it starts to rain... Such is life! ... "Life is a lot of grey and a little bit of blue..."
There’s a man drawing pictures
On the sidewalk with chalk.
Just as fast as he draws ’em
Rain come down and wash ’em off.
The Beat of Black Wings, Joni Mitchell
But the appreciation of life continues into a reassuringly wonderful ‘Sun-set’!
SUNSET... The iridescent descent of the sun...
“This is a song of colour,” and of rich rich rich imagery. It’s a song to say goodnight by hailing the splendor of sunset—read that literally or allegorically as you wish, as you will with the lyrics when you actually have this playing with the booklet in your hand. It’s lovely piano-and-voice stuff with very gentle bass and just a hint of soft drumming until the end, which swells into a Flamenco-tinged Spanish guitar fiesta that perfectly evokes a certain shade of dusk-tinged red-orange that’s filling the sky on this spread of the booklet.
"The day writes the words right across the sky
They go all the way up to the top of the night..."
AERIAL TAL... KaTe, blackbird and carrier pigeon wing their divine message to the gods...
With SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN we say goodbye to the day...
"This is where the shadows come to play twixt the day And night
Dancing and skipping Along a chink of light..."
...an underworldly or otherworldly feeling. A communion of spirits. SIB evokes that very special ‘window’ moment between people, nature, spirit, truth…
"Not one of us would dare to break The silence
Oh how we have longed For something that would
Make us feel so..."
...whole? ...free? ...complete?
Somewhere in between, there is a moment of pleasure, a communion better than words...
'Be quiet, unless your speech be better than silence'
Self Portrait, Salvator ROSA , 1615 - 1673
The sun: Goodnight mum
Somewhere in between, this sounds like a dedication to KaTe's mother?
