    From the upcoming documentary film Behold The Earth, an inquiry into America's divorce from nature. Produced and directed by David Conover, Compass Light Productions.
    One old new moon, as sister, cast a beam.
    This newest moon, as rock, casts only shadow.
    What speed westward could stop her being swallowed by the hills?
    Which of all the fairest sounds between this rock and ours casts anything but memory?
    Haunted is an easy word for all these moons and every sound below.
    This was filmed September 2008 on Morey Hill in Hope, Maine. Last year was one of the best blueberry years in recent memory, and we spent much of the day eating handfuls of them. The spot is right up the hill from Morey Hill cemetery where DH Mansfield is buried. (More to come about that). We started filming a little before 6 am- it was still really cold. The film looks to be really cool. I'll post something to let everyone know when it's coming out.

    Your music almost always brings me to tears. It makes me feel nostalgic for places I've never been and a feeling of connection to another time. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with all of us.

    Beautiful photography and camera work. Beautifully shows the beauty and majesty of nature, as well as showcasing your song in its best light. The old book of psalms is a wonderful touch.

    Hey man. Yeah, puzzled sheep have always been among my best audiences. I was playing out in a field in Devon one time when a little lamb came running at me and smacked head first into the log I was sitting on. Then there were the cows that tried to eat my old Vauxhall chevette, but cows are another story.

    Your connection to nature is always apparent in your videos, Tim, and adds richness and authenticity to your music. Since returning to the north central Michigan countryside in February 2008, I've been reconnecting to my natural surroundings, too - walking, snowshoeing, hiking, but mostly, just listening. Thanks for your music/video!

    I just saw Tim Eriksen for the first time in Santa Cruz, Ca, and I can't stop talking about him. He easily has the most raw talent I've ever seen in a performer, I'm amazed. I hope to have the chance to see him again!

    This is beyond beautiful! It's stunning...beautiful visually and spiritually.
    You are amazing and I can't even tell you how much I love this.
    It's going in my favorites and I might very well listen to it on a daily basis as a prayer/ meditation.
    Thank You so much for sharing this :)

    Tim, This song reminds me of a Native American chant or prayer! Beautiful! Your music is so universal (or at least global). Wonder what response we'd get if we transmitted this into space...? At least the extra-terrestrials would know we had good taste down here! :)

    Simply Amazing! I absolutely love it and will definitely take the first opportunity to watch this film! I've been in a transcendentalist mood as of late and this fits it to a perfection! Mr. Eriksen, your music is unmatched and it appears that Thoreau would be proud as well!

    I will confess to about 100 of the views on this film. Rather than list all of the aspects of this video I love will just recommend that everyone view it. Did think the scenery looked familiar, I lived in Maine and loved the place.

  • @mh605
    @mh605 16 лет назад

    In the film, it looked like the book was open to Psalm 104, which really complemented that scene, I thought. (There is much natural imagery in that psalm.)

  • @mh605
    @mh605 16 лет назад +1

    The hymnbook was a nice touch. Was that your book and your idea? And which book was it? (I noticed that the words of the psalm complemented the theme of the film.)
    I particularly liked when they showed the book on the rock with the grass in front.

    I'm sorry if this has been answered.. What bible is this at 0:48.. I search Psalm 104 and it is beautiful, but this page shown is like a condensed interpretation. Forgive me I have not studied christian scripture for years.. could someone guild me to what this bible/translation is that is in the video? Thank you ( I have tried a while with google with no results.)
    Just want to add I've listen to you for years Tim.. dude pure talent, I dream of a day that I build a stage that might I hire you to grace our fields and community.. honestly.. :P

    • @TimEriksenMusicVideo
      @TimEriksenMusicVideo  2 года назад

      Hey, thanks for the note! I don't remember which of my many early-mid nineteenth century editions of the psalms has 104 on page 173, but it's one of Isaac Watts' metrical translations (so in a hymnal rather than a Bible edition).

  • @mh605

    So that's the source of the photo on one of the Cordelia's Dad CDs I have? (i.e., cows standing around a compact car.) I always wondered.

  • @TimEriksenMusicVideo
    @TimEriksenMusicVideo  16 лет назад

    yeah, it was mostly live. The mic and sound guy were hidden behind a rock. There was only one camera on the shoot, so we did several takes to get the different angles. The sound is mostly from the performance that went with the close shot, with a few bits flown in from a studio recording I did after the fact along with some extra location sound.

  • @TimEriksenMusicVideo
    @TimEriksenMusicVideo  16 лет назад

    It's an 1809 Watts I brought along because I knew one of the interviews for the film involved psalm 40. It's not directly relevant to the song, but kind of makes sense in part because it works as a believable part of the landscape.

  • @MarkConnely
    @MarkConnely 8 лет назад

    Amazing. This is what I hear:
    One old new moon
    as sister cast a beam
    this newest moon, as this rock,
    casts only shadow.
    What speed westward could stop her
    being swallowed by the hills?
    Which of all the fairest sounds
    between this rock and ours
    casts anything but memory?
    Haunted?
    Haunted is an easy word
    for all these moons.
    And every sound below.

    • @TimEriksenMusicVideo
      @TimEriksenMusicVideo  8 лет назад +1

      Wow, good ear! Or maybe I actually enunciated. The only difference is "this newest moon, as rock" rather than "this rock."

    • @MarkConnely
      @MarkConnely 8 лет назад

      I thought so! But I had to make an error... like a spirit line. or maybe a small mark of my own... I'm so pleased to have found your music. As with all I love, I promote it to my friends unabashedly - I show them what I love. I call you a son of Orpheus. I've said it scarcely makes sense to talk of "Tim Eriksen's music" as though these were two separate things..." Thank You for all the pleasure you've given me, and more, for the addition to my life.

    Myself and a friend have actually been working on that! very shoegaze-y guitars. combination of natural vocals and black metal screams. also a lot of analog synth harmonies ( talking the place of the throat signing and humming).
