Forgetting

Pangloss would definitely agree, we must be living in the best of all possible worlds. Here we have positively inspired music by Philip Glass, devastatingly minimalistic lyrics by Laurie Anderson, angelic vocals from Linda Ronstadt sweetly backed by the inimitable Roches, and the precise beauty of Kronos String Quartet. All to a backdrop of Eric Bigas' fascinating fractals, wherein art truly merges with science.
_________ FORGETTING _________
A man wakes up to the sound of rain
From a dream about his lovers
Who pass through his room.
They brush lightly by, these lovers.
They pass. Never touching.
These passing lovers move through his room.
The man is awake now
He can't get to sleep again.
So he repeats these words
Over and over again:
Bravery. Kindness. Clarity.
Honesty. Compassion. Generosity.
Bravery. Honesty. Dignity.
Clarity. Kindness. Compassion.

I'm reminded of Janelle Monae's Many Moons. No wonder why I enjoyed that song. Inspiration begets...

I'm sorry, but the vocalist is Najma Akhtar and the choir is Crouch End Festival Chorus. At least that is what it says on my CD. I had to look up this Najma Akhtar (google her) and she specializes in these ethereal songs. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

@SherryVapors
you're wrong.
I can't seem to post links here, but just google "wiki glass liquid days" to start your quest for correct information. Linda Ronstadt, the Roches, Kronos quartet.
