Tuning The Wind

from Painting The New Night by The Dye

about

“Tuning the Wind” is the second lullaby on this album. It is a song that focuses on the beauty and simplicity experienced when being in tune with the moment and appreciating the magic of life. The piece is deeply connected to the joy of childhood and imagination. It was conceived from the image of a white gigantic house upon a hill isolated for miles from everything around it except the green hill. This image serves as a runway for the flight of mind allowing the imagination to depart anywhere it pleases to go. The lady in the later verse sings “ I lay alone in the trance under the stars” as her soul escapes the limits of gravity. A line in Thomas Hardy’s novel, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, lends a similar conception “your soul can escape your body before you die..like when you lay on a field at night and stare intensely at the night sky your soul leaves your body a trillion miles away floating with the stars”. This escapism is a metaphor for death and becoming a part of something beyond when you depart the physical world. It is also a metaphor for experiencing a pure connection with infinity while being fully connected to the moment. This can occur when you’re writing or playing music and are completely immersed in the power of sound, vibration, and musicality…while the core of your being is pulsating with the present. This song and this entire record were created in a trance of deep connection. The Dye’s songwriters were completely absorbed at the moment floating in the essence of the songs. The stories were already written inside of them. They were released while tuning themselves with infinity.
