Artwork is "Matariel, Angel of Rain" by Peter Mohrbacher www.angelarium.net www.patreon.com/angelarium
Some of you might have remembered the art site (sort-of body horror warning) I posted earlier. I wikiwalked a little and stumbled across this little musical gem inspired by it. Hope it's okay that I'm using a podcast post type to post it. XP
The original art piece, and the poetry that goes along with it (also reposted below): http://www.angelarium.net/matariel-rain/
I
The pressure in the air changes, and the camels
lift their heads. Women wearing oils sing,
“Matariel, Matariel,” and come into the tents.
III
Would the richest earth sate the olive grove?
What can crystal yield? Stone of aqueducts
sings, “Matariel,” for what it makes whole.
II
The newborn sings, “Matariel,”
in memory of her loss.
IV
I faced you at Samarkand as it wet our plate,
dripping through the chain mail beneath
to cool the skin. “Matariel,” you sang,
and I lowered my shield.
--
O lonely fountain, bless us mortals that dwell beneath you
Let our gratefulness abate your sadness
Let our prayers reach you, lonely Matariel
All men and beasts seek your embrace
We beg that you may stretch your hand out to us
So we may continue to praise your generosity
O great muse of rain, O sustainer of life
We patiently await your blessing



That was so lovely, I would adore more music like that. This is the sort of thing I like to listen to while playing board games or RPGs.
I loved this a lot, it was so peaceful.
