The Wind

The title of the song says it all.  Wind is not predictable, yet you can feel it when it hits.  Sometimes it hits hard like a storm, yet sometimes it hits lightly like a breeze.  This speechlessly beautiful song has the same effect, it hits your soul hard and soft when you do not expect.  Listen especially to the Paris Concert version in which the rich harmonic of the Steinway grand piano sound can be heard in combination with the great hall effect.  It is just a spine chilling experience. 

Feel the wind, with your soul and a good pair of speakers or headphones...

Keith Jarrett Live in Tokyo (1987) - The Wind


Keith Jarrett Paris Concert (1988) - The Wind

Is this your song as well?

Marvin Gaye (Timeless #5)

Marvin Gaye - If I Should I Die Tonight (1974)

With a good testimony towards the end of the video.


Complete Version

Marvin Gaye (Timeless #4)

Marvin Gaye is Soul. Soul is Marvin Gaye. Just listened to how he sang his famous song "What's going on". Feel the power and the passion. This is what Soul is about. As a matter fact, this should be what music is all about. Simple yet powerful. Music composed by, sang by, and played by Marvin himself. What more do we need from a true artist? Unfortunately, everything ended when he was shot by his own father at the age of 44 (1984).

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On/ What's Happening Brother (1973)

Galileo’s Telescope

"To mark the 4ooth anniversary of the first telescope observations made by Galileo Galilei, Italian designer Odoardo Fioravanti designed this beautiful telescope.
The telescope, aptly named Galileo’s Telescope, is directly inspired by Galileo’s first telescope made in 1609: it has the same dimensions, same focal length (1 meter) and the same wooden material. And, the designer adds:
This object, combining past and present, has the aim of “updating” the ancient instrument in its modern use through s contemporary design and through the product’s modern optical technology.

Galileo’s Telescope is manufacturered by Italian optics company Palomar."
