coast view

One day after listening to Loreena Mckennitt's Dante's Prayer from her Album "The Book of Secrets", I thought it would make a great music video. So, I took some of the video I've shot along the Oregon coast and added the song. Its interesting how together they created a wonderful journey.

(Techy stuff - the download is 'progressive' so the first time you view the video there may be pauses in its playing. If this occurs, just play the video again and it should play seamlessly.)

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

 

 

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Please remember me
Please remember me, ..
