The Blood of CuChulainn (2/12)

Music is transcendental. Even the most ancient of texts submit to this powerful notion... like the sirens from the Odyssey who enslave men with nothing but their own melodic voices, music has a special way of holding us all. Even in religion those gods or demons in charge of music were especially important among their kin.

Now whether there is something truly magical or spiritual about music is a thought far beyond the comprehension of myself at least, but nonetheless song remains one of the truest forms of communication between individuals and cultures alike.

And with that happy introduction, I give to you my love one of the most spectacular pieces of music I've ever heard... The Blood of CuChulainn. Maybe I'm Irish, and maybe I'm more than a little bias... but this song, this tale of an old Irish hero straight out of mythology, resonates quite strongly with me. Call it my own personal adventure song haha, a tribute to a journey to a far off time and place unbeknown to myself.

Of course the simplest thing would be to give this journey a convenient name , (something like "Life" mayhaps?), and then give this journey a proper mission statement. I was thinking something along the line of We're gonna live forever, if only we can survive today.

And with that much out of the way, there is only one more thing to tend to... a partner to share this journey with :) That's where you come in... my merry marching partner, helping me towards a thousand secret destinations, and infinite laughs along the way haha. And hopefully somwhere along the way we hit a rolling green hills that we can both lie down and die on for awhile haha... die of laughter, and breathlessness, and beauty, and exhaustion :) I only wish haha.

Well that's all for now!!

With all the best hopes for all the best things,

~ Perspective
