Asha ~ Luna nueva

'Luna nueva', an instrumental piece by Asha (aka Asher Quinn & Asha Elijah) from his album "Open Secret". Download & CD available here: www.ashaquinn.c...
'Luna nueva' began life as a piano improvisation, as I struggled to release a debut album in my early 30's. I received many rejections from record and publishing companies, until a New Age company finally took me on. My great friend at the time, Anthony Phillips of Genesis, offered to produce my tracks. Actually I knew Anthony through cricket, football and my cousin rather than music... but it was a well-starred collaboration. He became my musical mentor, and produced three early albums with me. Anthony had other musical friends (who played cricket and football with him), and one such illustrious comrade, Andy Latimer of the prog-rock group Camel, played a mesmerising slide-steel guitar on this track, as Anthony adorned my piano-playing with his classical guitar accompaniment.
And so 'Luna nueva' became part of "Open Secret", a largely instrumental album. "Open Secret" was also the title of a volume of poetry by Rumi, the thirteenth century Sufi poet.
I don't know why I came over all Spanish... maybe the legacy of living in Mexico for six months a few years previously! But the title and melody suggested themselves to me one sultry, summer evening in August, when London became like Andalucia for a few days.
The moon, esoterically, is the planet of karma. The spiritual moon (as distinct from the physical moon) is where we go immediately after death to face our karmic accountability. We have to purify if we are to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. If we follow a path of truth, it is possible to speed up our karma on earth within this lifetime.
The moon is also associated with the seasons and the cycles, both within and without. The new moon brings renewal, cleansing and fertility.
And as the Christ child, esoterically, is similarly associated with renewal in the psyche... with new blood and new life force... so the new moon and the Christ child possess a dual symbolism and potent etheric power in the soul.
I have a friend in Holland, Maarten, who once told me that this track really helped pull him out of a black hole when he first heard it. Maybe it was the power of the new moon and the Christ child contained within the music that was the medicine! So I dedicate this song here to Maarten! Warme groet, amigo!!

Asha style - magnificent ! Hearing a touch of horse hooves, clippity cloppy, 4 beats with a Western flair and scrubby, dry bushes and a tree that needs very little water...Out here in the West we are keen to pick up on that very quickly.......love this, Asha !

Thank you my Brother and friend. I continue to listen to your music with a deeper awareness. I recently bought two CDs by Leonard Cohen. The first time I heard of him was through you singing Bird on A Wire and then a few other covers. I didn't get it at all. Then Leonard Cohen passed away and a new acquaintance mentioned him. I got curious and went on line to learn more about him. The time period that he was popular on the folk music scene I was working in mission and quite separated from the mainstream world especially music. I bought two of his CD collections and was stunned! I now get it, that song. I have been very active writing songs in the past two month, jotting down verses and lyrics on pieces of paper and then digesting them. Thanks for your inspiration.

Dear dano. Since i was a Teenager i loved Leonard. Now i am 66,and i can not stop love him his beautiful songs. Anita

Ein wunderschönes Video mit der Musik die ein wenig wehmütig stimmt und doch die Seele berührt.Danke!

Csodás kompozíció Asha, írnom kell rá szöveget!

[@irmavarszegi8492]

Számomra ez a zeneköltemény gyönyörű, csodálatos, misztikus, felemelő, mindent elmesél, kifejez és mélyen megérint. Mindezt szöveg nélkül teszi.

[@AshaSongs]

@@hughc023 My early albums for New World Music had many instrumental tracks, but I became independent of them in around 2004. Now I mostly compose higher love ballads, with the occasional instrumental track. I have over 400 KZbins out there (and also now know how to make & edit my own films). Most days I'll post a song and a story on Facebook, too. I live in Hungary for spiritual reasons, where the nature & the culture is conducive for my kind of thing!

What an otherworldly beauty, Asha! Serenity, dignity, purity, deep peace... and the knowledge everything is perfectly beautiful and well. The shades of blue... the movement.... the sparkling and light.... and mostly 5:36 create such a space of healing, of rest... How very very wonderful!! I LOVE this being, Asha!! And I love the dancing couple... around the moon... what a deep meaning of joy and beauty!
