Theres a place i know for certain
I will someday see
When i lay down my burden
And look on galilee
Way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war
On a far celestial shore
There’s a valley of crystal waters
Vines adorn the hill
Every bough is heavy with fruit
You can pick your fill
There’s a land of plenty where no child shall want for more
On a far celestial shore
And i’ll know such jubilation
Joy and exaltation when i see my lord
There’s a chior and congregation
Oooh how sweet the sound
But laughter too is everywhere
Grey faces are not found
Hallelujah’s rise up from a whisper to a roar
On a far celestial shore
Solo verse
Way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war
On a far celestial shore
There’s a land of plenty where no child shall want for more
On a far celestial shore
Hallelujah’s rise up from a whisper to a roar
On a far celestial shore
On a far far celestial shore
On a far celestial shore

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
