Endless Journey Tenor Voice - Audio

"Endless Journey" is a magical song about moving through life together, as in a boat on the sea. Impressionistic in style, with a gently rocking ostinato accompaniment, it creates a wonderful sense of mystical adventure, heightened by the final casting off from life itself into the night. The beautiful text by Tagore is itself an inspiration. Lyrics: Early in the day it was whispered that we should sail in a boat, only thou and I, and never a soul in the world would know of this, our pilgrimage to no country and to no end. In that shoreless ocean, at thy silently listening smile, my songs would swell in melodies, free as waves, free from all bondage of words. Is the time not come yet? Are there works still to do? Lo, the evening has come down upon the shore, and in the fading light the seabirds come flying to their nests. Who knows when the chains will be off and the boat, like the last glimmer of sunset, vanish into the night?--Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)William is also the artist/performer.
