At the Threshold: The Dreamer, an Autumn Song and the Scorpio New Moon, the new post at The Polymath , explores the threshold between Autumn and Winter, where music, the Mayan calendar and the Scorpio New Moon meet in a meditation on dreams, hidden connections, Monadic Twins and what is beginning to emerge. You can read At the Threshold: The Dreamer, an Autumn Song and the Scorpio New Moon on The Polymath site.
At the Threshold: The Dreamer, an Autumn Song and the Scorpio New Moon connects with my radio programme Amazing Songs & Other Delights #102 An Autumn Feeling edition An Autumn Feeling edition.
Amazing Songs & Other Delights #102 An Autumn Feeling edition is broadcasted Monday 02 & 09 November, 3-4pm London time, on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com to (or on the app).
Amazing Songs & Other Delights #102 An Autumn Feeling edition is a simple, cozy, gentle, seasonal programme with songs and instrumentals that mention Autumn or feel autumnal. Along with a few more upbeat ones.
As it tends to be common on my Amazing Songs & Other Delights the songs arrive from different decades and have different genres, although one could say Amazing Songs & Other Delights #102 An Autumn Feeling edition leans towards indie, indie folk, with a few dance and rock vibes. Of course a couple of orchestral presences appear too.
The Bluestones were an extremely recent re-find. My friend Wayne and his son were going to their concert in London. I was surprised, not having following the band in years. Wayne told me they had a new album, I said I will check it. And here it is Lux Interior.
A song written in homage to Lux Interior of the Cramps, that is also perfect for a time between Halloween & Samhain – the beginning of the Celt Winter – All Saints Day, All Souls Day and the New Moon in Scorpio November 9, the day Amazing Songs & Other Delights #102 An Autumn Feeling edition has its second broadcast.
A perfect season to be with our inner light.

The Bluetones
The Bluestones – Lux Interior lyrics
Time ran out On all that flailing about And the need to live Well something had to give It was some punchline Had the stars and planets aligned? So I played along Let the cosmos sing its song
And I knew nothing was true
And here you are In the shotgun seat of the car And it’s me at the wheel Don’t mean that seals the deal If I hold my nerve And I surf just ahead of the curve Might I hear you say You miss me when I’m away
And it proves nothing was true Until you
And your name Cuts through the din Like a guillotine Like a tambourine And your taste Cuts through the space Like a guillotine Like a tambourine
And it proves nothing was true Until you
And your name Cuts through the din Like a guillotine Like a tambourine And your taste Cuts through the space Like a guillotine Like a tambourine
And your name Cuts through the din Like a guillotine Like a tambourine
