Mama Cass Elliot - New World Coming - Tune for Pentecost Song
by Lynda C via OE 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Yes. Sherwood, I feel like this is more the tune that we used with the Pentecost Song than the tune I heard the Seekers using. Somewhere I saw that it was recorded about 1970. Most likely several musicians used their own variations. There is an older clip with Mama Cass pictured singing it, but the link below with photo clips along with her voice make it a more contemplative piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlOFN2SYaEk I’m excited about all the corporate writing and demythologizing that we did on that one song. Very appreciative of Jack’s comments about the left brain, right brain connections that happen in singing which really seem on track from my experience. Thanks for all the possibilities, Lynda

Well ? What is the sound of heaven? I guess I'm tuned into words these days. For a long time I just sang along thinking thru the reality underlying the words that didn't work. But as a woman I just grew tired of the gender issues and that has moved me to want all the words to work. Funeral services at church are particularly hard. I don't expect to meet that person in the sky someday. I could articulate their ongoing being but those words don't work. Anyway at least for me I need words rethought.

But is important to understand that if you are in the realm of the meaning of words you are in the left brain’s domain. Yes, when speaking or writing about things this can be not only helpful, but very important. But a song is about the Singing, not just the words. For singing (and poetry) is a method to reach the right brain, the spiritual domain, and one sings from the heart, allowing the words to flow with a deep awareness of any words inadequacy to speak about our relationship to the Mystery. But try we must try not to communicate an offence or “untruth” if we can. I think we did a pretty good job for the most part in our great songs, including our ability to sing some old hymns with transparency and profound understanding.

Re: [Oe List ...] Janice May

Dear Janice was a serious student (she studied Russian at U of I Chicago Urban Campus circa 1972 with a gaggle of us and put sticky notes in the language on all the items in her apartment). She was often the source of thoughtful and engaging contributions in meetings and one-on-one. Her curiosity and quirky sense of humor enabled her to be a woman of spirit deeps you were fortunate to know. Somehow I think of Janice in the company of the feminine archetypes in the book, "Women Who Run with the Wolves" and also the Vikings who traversed their final journey in ships that symbolized their completed life and also contained the significance of their valor in what must have been everyday yet heroic encounters. Journey on, Janice, your ship is aglow with your presence in our hearts and memories. Heartfelt condolences to your family and friends. Grace & Peace,My friend, remembering you with affection. Will miss your face book comments.
