I wanted to make a pro-life song available for free download. “Small Space, No Face”, is a song about an unborn baby who is singing to their mother from the womb.
I strongly believe in the pro-life cause – children are an immeasurable blessing to both parents and the world, and we should do all we can to protect them from womb to life.
In the future I may choose to add an optional donation to a charity of my choice, but since I don’t know how to do that yet, I’ve listed it as ZERO chf. Grab a free download now.
.Wav and .Mp3 available
.Wav will let you burn to Cd’s. I’m starting back up with physical media again. You should too.
“You Opened One Eye”, a song about separation, is now available for download on Bandcamp.
The situation with my daughter is now improved, and it seems at this current moment that I will get to see her more often than before. So this is great.
The song then, represents a moment in the past, how I was feeling in that instant of time.
The “He has Risen” Resurrection fine art print arrived.
Here is a video showing the print in more detail. (For some reason on uploading to Youtube, there is a slight resolution dip at the beginning, but the video appears to correct itself after some seconds. I maye try and redo the video at some point, but for now I’m going to relax!)
It’s been a difficult period for me. Separation, and a poor result in custody, seemingly relating to perceptions of my health. Quite frankly, it has been a very disappointing time, one where I must remind myself not to blame people, but rather the insidious lies that currently permeate culture.
Certain ideologies, when embraced like religion, lead to polarization. They seep like poison into the heart, and affect the capacity for love, the comprehension of truth, and render eyes unable to see. The only hope to escape this bitterness that eats away at the soul is God and prayer.
It is certainly a bitter time for many, one where rage and hatred dominate, and where there exists the will to see truth through the lens of solipsism and individualism, warring against laws designed to maintain life and order itself.
Ultimately, people are happy to sacrifice others (literally in many cases) for their own peaceful existence and happiness. Behaviour like this is always deplorable. We must instead seek a more noble existence, expressing a wish to become more holy if possible, bringing true inner peace.
To emphasise how far society has diverged off the path, it is possible that some who read the above paragraph will recoil at the word holy. What does this say about society?
So, really I’ve diverged a little.
“You Opened One Eye” is a song about my love for my daughter whilst undergoing a harsh separation. Really, it is a song for her. I want her to one day understand how I felt in being separated from her, so that she can know that I never abandoned her, that my hands were tied, and that I always loved her and wanted her with me.
Perhaps I should have had more control when writing this. I hope that bitterness has not crept into the lyrics too much. Really, the lyrics mainly relate to anguish, and the hole in my heart when I think of how this must affect my daughter.
I have a kind of first draft of a hymn. It’s called “Hail, Jesus”, and is about Jesus being the path to salvation.
I like to think we are all on the path in some way, it’s just that some of us have chosen to move away from Jesus, rather than towards Him. But that doesn’t mean we can’t adjust our positions mid stride.
And for those who feel they are on the right path, perhaps it is important to recognise that a narrow path is hard to follow, and can be lost easily.
So I guess the hymn is about hope in Jesus, but also not falling into complacency.
After trying to access my website to provide updates, I found that my site had been blocked…restricted. It appears the DNS I was using had blocked it for some reason. This could be due to the router, or it could be that the local DNS is blacklisting me. I’m not sure at the moment – will need to investigate it.
I have actually moved the whole site from one server to another, so at the moment, there are no previous posts. Not sure what I’ll do about this, but I have retrieved the posts, so will possibly try to provide an archive, or repost.
I decided to run the sale through sister site kalimetric as that has the set up for a shop already. Selling on AlmosLataan would require a large overhaul. So, for the time being, the two sites are combined in a fashion.
For a long time I wondered whether I should sell something associated with pro-life. I felt that it might be inappropriate to do so. But I guess that in religious areas, by way of comparison, artists create and sell work, so there is a precident. If this is a success, I can perhaps think about producing more large format work.
The print run is limited in a fashion. 10 prints are available in the first batch, with each successive print raising in price (in example, batch 1 print 1 will be cheaper than batch 1 print 2). Once all of the prints are sold in the batch, the print will then become unavailable for 5 years. This ensures that the print will always remain in circulation, but in low numbers, as long as the initial file and negative are still available.
