Heart-chants - by Laura Cole Tongues; chants Stepping over our graves, enshrined Words meshing butterfly eyes Echoes; shadows My deep half, a hidden part Lifted out of my beyond, behold the dark Alone, but still speaking Still speaking Still speaking Still Alone Speaking.... Still And yet again. Alone. Heartbroken; chants In between the dust of forgiveness In between the clouds of sadness In between the rust of what might have been In between the shoots of green Still emerging, despite it all.... A breath: We are still alive We know this by delicate inhale, by hesitant exhale Souls chiming, chime on.. Souls shining, shine on.. Souls climbing, climb on.. Out between the earth of skying Out between the engravures of our trying Out between the words of lying Out between the night of our dying We are called to belong, again We are called to breathe, again We are called to begin, again We are still called Again And we still respond.. Still And yet again. Courage; in readiness Have heart; For: The heart can hold so much The heart has soundless words to speak The heart yields many forms The Eternal Language of the Heart. It is a knowing It is a listening It is a truth Still And yet again. Healing; chants Cacophony There is so much to reveal So much to filter So much... So much. What do we bury and what do we burn to the light? How do we choose? How do we still hold our questions? How do we still hold our answers? How do we How do we How do we How do we What are we What are we What are we What are we Still And yet again. As I open this book, A new chapter What will unfold? What words will appear? What story is waiting for me, for us? Stilled. In sustenance. Yet again. -For Will McGiven and his amazing mixes and friendship x Laura Cole Yet again. -For Will McGiven and his amazing mixes and friendship x

about

A free of charge or pay what you want present from Discus Music to all our listeners!

Will McGiven is a Derby, UK based DJ known for his eclectic Constellations Radio Shows on www.soulandjazz.com every Friday. Will has DJ'd all over the UK as well as an appearance supporting the great Marcus Miller for the North Sea Jazz Festival at The Bird Club, Rotterdam.

Will has been a massive fan of the Discus label for many years now, proclaiming it to be "The most deep and diverse label anywhere on the planet". His love of the label has inspired him to create this new mix - his second, following "Kindling" in 2020 - exclusively for the Discus label and its followers. The mix was recorded in one live take, straight off the cuff and no edits. He only uses his DJ software's reverb, pitch slider and echo effects to create the unique sound scape presented here.


Special thanks go to Derby artist Walt Shaw for his wonderful accompanying art work entitled Sentient Creatures. Please check out all his superb work here: www.waltshaw.co.uk

Will's mix also inspired Discus label musician and poet, Laura Cole, to write the wonderful poem to accompany the mix. A massive thanks goes out to Laura for this brilliant piece. All of Laura’s recent releases can be found on Discus Music.
