lyrics
High on the sacred mountain
Up the seven thousand stairs
In the golden light of autumn
There was magic in the air
Clouds surrounded the summit
The wind blew strong and cold
Among the silent temples
And the writing carved in gold
Somewhere in my instincts
The primitive took hold
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity
If you raise your hands to heaven
You will live a hundred years
I stood there like a mystic
Lost in the atmosphere
The clouds were suddenly parted
For a moment I could see
The patterns of the landscape
Reaching to the eastern sea
I looked upon a presence
Spanning forty centuries
I thought of time and distance
The hardships of history
I heard the hope and the hunger
When China sang to me
Up the seven thousand stairs
In the golden light of autumn
There was magic in the air
Clouds surrounded the summit
The wind blew strong and cold
Among the silent temples
And the writing carved in gold
Somewhere in my instincts
The primitive took hold
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity
If you raise your hands to heaven
You will live a hundred years
I stood there like a mystic
Lost in the atmosphere
The clouds were suddenly parted
For a moment I could see
The patterns of the landscape
Reaching to the eastern sea
I looked upon a presence
Spanning forty centuries
I thought of time and distance
The hardships of history
I heard the hope and the hunger
When China sang to me

SINNER GET READY
by LINGUA IGNOTAsupported by 6 fans who also own “Tai Shan”
If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you.

Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die ((world war))
by jaimie branchsupported by 5 fans who also own “Tai Shan”
Peerless "punk" jazz. I particularly love the sound of the drums & the trumpet. Sweet, intense, full of fervor.

This Restless Wing
by worriedaboutsatanTense, skittering electronic music, where long, blue bands of sound wrap loosely around pointillist rhythms.
