Music is sacred when voices and instruments blend with perfect pitch and harmony. The mind is such a complex and riveting place, generating new thoughts, fears and ambitions by the second. How it loves to lead. Music, it is in music that the spirit asserts its forlorn self. The soul rises to carry us away from the darkest hours.
The sweetest sound ever heard may well be a performance by Joan Baez and her sister Mimi Farina, singing Donovan’s “Catch the Wind”. Hail the grace of women and the simplicity of pure, beautiful music.
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind.
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while
Behind your smile,
And everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find.
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing,
‘T would make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy,
Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee.
