F I R E

Beatsbits' meditations into Blum's brilliant tune "Fire" produced by Andy Kravitz and played by star crew of fire setters (see below).
This hot song's out now worldwide through blummusic on itunes and amazon. Proceeds from royalties of the song have been pledged to Greenpeace to fund monitoring of the seas off Japan.
Such a groovy, pumping bassline (thanks to ex-Zappa bassist Arthur Barrow), mind bending lyrics and a voice that gets right under your skin, all driven by the beast that is Andy Kravitz on drums.

Please enjoy and visit blummusic on jango, itunes, and amazon for more

Evolution of this slideshow/video has been x-atlantic re-connection with my old Austrian musician friend Blum (now living in Santa Fe, USA) who dedicates this song to the crazy wisdom teachings of Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche,founder of Naropa University and Shambhala Training

wow, now, i'm starting to feel guilty..., but i'm surely not that almighty,....and then there are the cleansing properties of fires allowing new vegetation to break through...?

...song about rain ...schnuerlregn..... one of my favorites is j taylor's fire and rain...

hope you're having clear airs and merrymaking for christmas over there

[beatsbits]

sorry to hear about your headache,

the video has very little to do with blum's original idea for this tune.

my meditations which led to the video came from the combined overflow of news about Fukushima and the North African Liberation Movements and my own need to do something to get out of my depression.

Blum was thinking of the creative fire inside the artist... Perhaps try and listen again with eyes shut...and relax, no STDs here only mindgames

[beatsbits]

There will be a public Release event and Video Show with the Artist Wolfgang Blumel aka Blum in Santa Fe, USA

When: Monday, June 20th,2011, 9-10pm

Where: Ten Thousand Waves (relax room)

(beatsbits won't make it as at work it Canterbury, UK)

Please join in celebrating in mind if not in body

[beatsbits]

people are asking what does it mean????

art does not have to explain itself!!!

it will mean different things to different people at different times.

anyone who knows me knows what i mean:

revive the old hippie movement !

have and make fun, music, peace, and love !

no nukes !

share, love not war !

[Mischa4268]

Beautiful !!

[wolfgangblum]

great work beatsbits! right after you released this stunning video of my song, we had a bunch of crazy wild fires here around Santa Fe, smoke choking my lungs, which made me really wonder if it might not have been more sensible to write a song about rain ;-)

[Abschickymeister]

Meditation video ?????????

Actually i just got a headache listening to this.

He is turning in his bed with a fire in his bed...it's gonorrhea fever

[XL500GT]
