Post-Planet Earth

Actually I've been telling some ppl, i think during the concert, i focussed too much on the technical parts. i din indulge myself in the feeling part of music making. partly because i was still new in performing with a cello, and the stress from being miked up. it was until movt 3 when i realise i shd be less tensed, i should have juz let go and SING! haha. la la la la la la la la.....

yupz, next time, i'll definitely wan to try to just play. but when will i play such great work again?

Greek

Gaian pammêteiran aeisomai êuthemethlon
presbistên, hê pherbei epi chthoni panth' hopos' estin;

êmen hosa chtona dian eperchetai, êd' hosa ponton,
êd' hosa pôtôntai, tade pherbetai ek sethen olbou.

Chaire theôn mêtêr, aloch' Ouranou asteroentos,
prôphrôn d'ant' ôidês bioton thumêre' opadze.

Chaire theôn mêtêr, ô Gaia!

Ek seo d'eupaides te kai eukarpoi telethousi
potnia, seu d' echetai dounai bion êd' aphelesthai.

thnêtois anthrôpoisin, ô Gaia!

English

I will sing of well-founded Earth,
mother of all, eldest of all beings.

She feeds all creatures that are in the world; all that
go upon the goodly land and all that are in the paths
of the seas and all that fly; all these are fed of her store.

Hail mother of the gods, wife of starry Heaven
freely bestow upon me for this my song
substance that cheers the heart!

Hail mother of the gods, o Gaia!

Through you, O queen, men are blessed in their children and blessed
in their harvests, and to you it belongs to give means of life to mortal men
and to take it away,
O Gaia!


seems like the band is still having post-concert syndrome :P
