If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care for you

We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain

Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

Pádraig Ághas, a relatively anonymous folk singer, sings An Baile atá Láimh Leí Siúd, in the only remaining retention of this once-famous ballad, which has managed to survive the decline of the Irish language through rare authentic ethnomusicological footage of now-lost Irish singing-traditions like this "winding song", of which only a handful are remembered today.

What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

I would like to take some time to wax pathétique on the wonders and merits of the brilliant musical legacy formed by the Greek Orthodox Church.

These Vespers, rendered here in English, are profoundly and deeply moving regardless of one's own religious inclinations. When I listen to these Vespers (and I would recommend listening to the full two hours if you have the time), the whole world falls away, and I am taken into a shimmering world of musical insight and diatonic glorification. They are simple but profound.

The wonderment and poetic drama of the original Koine Greek, preserved by the Greek Orthodox Church for the better of around 2000 years, is not too mangled by the translation process into English.

We should never, in our age of more-than-occasional harmonic and sonic decadence, underestimate the sheer beauty of a drone and the seven tones of Pythagoras which we have inherited. The reverberations of nature itself resonate through the tones of Pythagoras.
