My favorite is Let It Grow (from weather report suite). It's such a beautiful piece of music. Really gets down deep into the nature of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN6mjNMNytY https://play.google.com/music/preview/Tuuldprggcev2wah45v27l... I listened to this album for years and didn't understand that song until recently when I went back and listened again. I don't think the song is about an agricultural town and a women fetching water as it first appears. I think it's symbolic. The women is dipping into the river of life and carrying a little part away with her. She is brown like the earth because in this case she is symbolic of the earth, i.e. the substrate on which life appears or develops. The drops of water in the reeds are individual instances of life, eventually they lose their individuality and return to the ocean. The plowman is sowing the earth. Etc. Etc. |
