Produktbeschreibung

Music infuses everything around us, from sounds the earth makes to the rhythm of the heart. Could music be the essence of the universe itself? The narrator is on a journey to discover this fundamental truth. The interconnected, real-life stories (with links to original songs) are a rhapsody on how we experience the world: the moments of humor, sorrow, passion, and revelation that give significance to our origins and endings. As the narrator explains, supernovas "collapsed in an explosive release of energy, creating and dispersing the heavier elements into interstellar space: oxygen, for the air we breathe; carbon, present in the earth as the basis of life; and the marriage of hydrogen and oxygen to create water, which constitutes two-thirds of our bodies. We are literally made of stardust. A bit of fire. A bit of earth. A bit of water. And a bit of air." The vignettes are organized into chapters titled after each of these four elements. • Fire: Tales of Music, Love, and Passion • Earth: Tales of Appetite, Desire, and the Body • Water: Tales of Spirituality, Soul, and Compassion • Air: Ghost Stores, Spirits, and Tales of Passage The real incidents that comprise Song of Fire range from the poignant to the humorous. Here you'll find love and loss, the history of chocolate, hurricanes and earthquakes, the presence of music in nature, a close brush with a mass shooter, eye-opening journeys to other cultures, the presence of God, and more. Accompanying the stories are links to original songs that provide another dimension through which to experience the tales. This second edition expands the songs from the twelve original compositions to include additional tracks written by the author.
