the luminous blog

She who has renounced her career

to now devote herself to the sick

the poor and the afflicted

in places like Perù

and Venezuela.

As she has said herself

she has quit the spotlight

she has left the shadows

and sought the Light -

not the opposite,

as many who see

but are blind to the

Truth

have told her, over time,

stunned that she

left behind a lucrative

musical career

to be so altruistic

and become, verily,

a Light in this dark world.

The above song is by Marie Carmen

and reflects all of the luminous soul

that resides within her

as she does a stunning cover

of the classic "L'Aigle Noir"

from French songstress Barbara.

Of Marie Carmen's stunning repertoire

put together over such a short span of time

in the late 80s and early 90s

"L'Aigle Noir" is only second to

the nostalgic classic for the bereaved,

"J'ai L'Blues De Vous"

- with "T'Oublier"

a close third

in my personal top ten...

Below, we have the other side

of the spectrum -

a song that states it like it is today;

The World Is Darker

by

Neverending White Lights

and the mesmerizing

(much in the same way of a Lilith)

A video that has a definite
Kubrickian quality
à la Eyes Wide Shut
something that is missing
in the minimalistic charm
of the Marie Carmen video
- which proves once again
that one cannot have everything!
And the true chorus line
of this gem of a song
by NWL and MADM
is verily the best advice
one could ever obtain
from such forms of entertainment:
"watch your back
if your heart is weeping -
watch your heart
if your back is bleeding"
Quite simply...
