AMELIA,
and All That IS (The Great Unfolding) ©1995 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) Around the quiet islands of snow Could it be I see the green start to show I surprised a secret slender sprout Hiding under an iced-in brick that I pulled out (Chorus) Seems like everyone's breath is holding Waiting, waiting for the Great Unfolding Its freezing but as I look around Red clover is pushing up through the ground Tiny new leaves in packages done so precise Unfolding origami when it's time to capture light Seems like... Tiny spirals to huge feather fans Fiddleheads to ferns Shades of brown to 'Emerald City' I just blinked, the scene had turned How many years have passed that I failed to see The early stages of this meadow mystery Like purple cigars that are rolled up really tight Turn to blooming violets almost overnight Each bud is a whole pollen package store Sitting right there hoping Some thirsty bee is first in line when it comes the time to open Seems like... Thought I heard Tweet minor for half a sec Are the blueprints being drawn Those brilliant flying architects Just labor on and on So you'll see me on the ground with my head bent real low Not 'cause I'm feeling down or got no place to go I'm just moving in close for the bestest best of shows Taking my seat in the very front row Waiting waiting for the Great Unfolding Seems like everyone's breath is holding |

About the Song (click to view) |
description:
The spring song. This song was inspired by watching our rabbit Amelia
exploring and discovering new buds in late winter early spring. When we
let our pet house rabbits out in our yard (always supervised), we started
to notice what green plants they would choose. This was the catalyst to
make us look really closely at the plant life in our yard. This is a song
about very early spring, when new plant shoots are barely distinguishable
from each other. This led us to discover the various stage of each leave
(leaf) and flower as they opened up and unfolded. The real discovery is
that no matter the scientific nature of it all, watching the unfolding
of these origami sculptures, is absolutely magical. Within the chaos and
hubris of daily life, spend a quiet contemplatitive moment meditating
on the botanical world. Amelia is the bunny who taught us to stop and
examine this whole world in our own back yard. Title: Amelia and All That is (The Great Unfolding) Author(s):Richard & FloraLee Newman Year:©1995 Pro:BMI Licensing: contact authors Publisher: contact authors |
