“Song of Silence”- at Principle Gallery, Alexandria
All your silver, all your gold
Won’t shine brighter than your soul
—Rhiannon Giddens, He Will See You Through
Just want to play some music this Sunday morning and not make commentary on anything. Just let it be for the moment.
These are two songs from one of my favorites, Rhiannon Giddens, who never fails to deliver incredible performances.
The first is a new version of her powerful song Cry No More, which was written in response to the massacre at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC in 2015. This new version and video reflects the distancing of current days and is as emotionally charged in its messaging as the first.
The second song is He Will See You Through from a collaboration last year with multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi. that resulted in a wonderful album, There Is No Other. I love the spare beauty of this song. If you get a chance, give a listen to the rest of the album. Great stuff.
Have a good day.
