William Blake The Marriage of William Blake and Enya by Dolphin Diemer 18 years ago I decided to follow a friends recommendation to have a Transpersonal Therapy session with Kevin, a channel/therapist. I liked him right off the bat because he had a Princess Diana shrine. I mean really, what else could I ask for? I expressed to him my world views, angst about society and deep concerns about the path of humanity. In doing so, I realized that I was experiencing the Atlas Syndrome by taking on the weight of the world. I needed help! After Kevin heard me speak he suggested as therapy that I investigate the English poet William Blake. I bought several books on William Blake and studied specifically his famous work The Songs of Innocence and of Experience. I discovered that we shared a lot of the same thoughts and feelings. I was so inspired by his work that I was compelled to midwife 12 of his poems to Enyas music. This project was totally conceived in the one month after my session with Kevin and it took me a year to record them professionally in a studio. I was fully aware at the time that I was creating this work as Art and was part of my healing therapy. With each song I was guided by my higher self to help me create this work of art. Somehow I felt that I could relate to the first free-love poet of his time. I happily went back to my therapist feeling a lot better from the previous year and presented him my Blake/Enya renditions. He was astonished and then confessed to me that he thought that I was the reincarnation of William Blake when we first met a year earlier. When Kevin told me this revelation, I felt as if it all made sense and as if it was some kind of redemption. What you see and hear in all the videos is me lip-synching to my original studio recordings I made in 1996. The Marriage of William Blake and Enya is relevant today and designed to inspire and enlighten humanity one poem at a time.. 01 Introduction/Afer Ventus 02 The Ecchoing Green/Storms in Africa 03 The Lamb/Shepherd Moons 04 The Chimney Sweeper/Lothliorien 05 A Cradle Song/Watermark 06 Night/Storms in Africa Part 2 07 On Anothers Sorrow/Smaointe 08 Earths Answer/No Holly For Miss Quinn 09 The Fly/From Where I Am 10 The Tyger/Athair ar Neamh 11 The Human Abstract/Smaointe 12 The School Boy/River Introduction lyrics by William Blake (The Songs of Innocence) 1789 music by Enya (Afer Ventus) Shepherd Moons 1991 Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: Pipe a song about a Lamb! So I piped with merry cheer. Piper, pipe that song again; So I piped: he wept to hear. Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; Sing thy songs of happy cheer! So I sung the same again, While he wept with joy to hear. Piper, sit thee down and write In a book, that all may read. So he vanished from my sight, And I plucked a hollow reed, And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every child may joy to hear. youtu.be/_BmFUKNyZmU
