Another Day. Chance to Make A Change.
Some have asked me why I attempted to mix a John Coltrane song, "A Love Supreme" with Anthony Hamilton's "Pass Me Over" and then play it on my website. That's easy. I was led to. It was something so similar in the liner notes of "A Love Supreme" and the words to "Pass Me Over". There is a note that Coltrane once wrote to his wife that read "Another day. Chance to make a change". Anthony wrote, "Another day. Chance to make another chance".
Wow! I once heard an interviewer ask Anthony Hamilton a question. Who is one of your musical influences? He said Coltrane. Wow! Coincidence? Not likely. But it was something eerily beautiful and similar about Coltrane's and Hamilton's words. Something incredibly spiritual and pure. Something from the deepest parts of their souls. The tone of the liner notes and the words reinforce who God is. His grace and His mercy. The weakness of man and the strength of God. Giving over everything to Him. The Resolution is so obvious. Mankind is vulnerable. God is everything. Don't be afraid, His word alone will keep you. Another day? Another chance to make a change.
He will remake...
He always has and He always will.
It's true. Blessed be His name. Thank you God.
God breathes through us so completely...
so gently we hardly feel it...
yet, it is our everything.
Thank you God.
ELATION--ELEGANCE--EXALTATION--
All from God.
Thank you God. Amen.
(John Coltrane)
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote, "The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. If heed is not paid to this, it is not true music but a diabolical bawling and twanging."
Coltrane and Hamilton made and make true music.
