Behind the Waterfall / Desert Rain Medley

[@seanmacaulay4475]

Paul, This is one of my favorite songs. It is peaceful, comforting and brings about thoughts of hope. My first introduction to this song came to me as a child in the mid 90's in Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World. My parents would take my sister and I there for our family vacations, and this song always brings me back to those happy times that were filled with wonder when I was younger. Thank you for your part in bringing this song into my life.

[@PaulSpeerMusic]

Thank you, Sean. I have not visited Disney World but many people have discovered Behind the Waterfall there. Grateful.

From the first time I ever heard Desert Rain until today I still just love this. I was down deep inside Carlsbad Caverns not so long ago and as I came upon some of the most beautiful stalactites and stalagmites I could hear this music. It is cosmological. We are so blessed to have these guys and their timeless music. It's a celebration of life.

...and these were the days when the art of buying an album and listening to it were still an ART!!! Natural States and Desert Vision were 2 of my all-time favorite albums from the Narada Equinox label. It's a shame to see what has happened to lables like Narada and Windhamhill... It's all about disposable rather than retainable... Thanks for keeping good music and creative music alive this day-and-age, Paul!

Discovered this on the "Early New Age" playlist on Spotify. Amazing tune, bring back some amazing memories.

[@TheKyleLiedtke]

Paul, 'Natural States' is a precious album to me. It is part of my life's soundtrack. I listen to it every time I drive to the Oregon Coast. Just east of Salem, OR is the Van Duzer corridor - a tree lined two lane highway that winds througn the coastal range and opens up in Lincoln City. I hit 'play' as soon as I see the entrance of the Van Duzer and the album becomes the soundtrack through the lovely scenery of the Willamette Valley, the coastal hills - and finishes exactly as I pull into the first ocean lookout. I have listened to that album (first tape, then CD) on the way to the coast for 30 years. Literally hundreds of times. Just did so again last week. There have even been times when I wasn't driving but would bring my copy and take over the stereo. Thank you Paul. You and David made music that has seeped deep within my soul.

[@PaulSpeerMusic]

Kyle - Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with our music. I don't think I have been on the Van Duzer but I do know firsthand how beautiful northwest Oregon is.

[@richardrau3]

Thank you for your gift of wonderful music for the world....(we had a chat here not long ago.. you mentioned about driving across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway going home from New Orleans.. it has undergone a recent two year renovation project and now has added safety features - six new lighted pullover lanes on each side, providing off road safety/emergency relief every two miles on both sides, as well as a better, safer siderail on the southbound span, the original 2-way span that opened in 1956.. the northbound span you drove was started in 1968 and was completed June 1969. I grew up in New Orleans and lived in Metairie 25 years.. I now live in Covington (where I was born), about 6 miles north of I-12.

[@StratmanII]

Hi Paul, I've been a fan of you and David Lanz' music since mid 1991, when I first discovered the Narada CD collection at the local music stores. My first CD was Desert Vision, followed by Natural States and Bridge of Dreams (as soon as it hit the shelves in '93). I have David's _Nightfall_ solo piano album and one or two Narada sampler CDs and Michael Gettel's _Skywatching_ album, in which you contributed the guitar parts. I also bought the Desert Vision and Natural States DVD It wasn't until 2011, I think - when I discovered you sold your music through your website and I ordered a copy of Oculus, Wonders, Televoid, Hells Canyon and about four years ago it was Sonoran Odyssey. Thank you for the invitation via email to sample Adventures in Space, I've downloaded it but have yet to sit down to listen to the songs. 🙂 I've seen this very video of your Mexico City performance several times on your KZbin channel. At the time when you toured with David and Neal (my deepest sympathies for your loss) were there any plans to release this performance as a live album either on CD or VHS/LD/DVD? Is the rest of this concert's footage still available and do you roughly remember the set list? 😀

[@PaulSpeerMusic]

Hi StratMan - Thanks for your message and long time support. There are no plans to release this concert in any format. Besides, it would be quite complicated to negotiate the rights to do that. I do appreciate your interest. I don't recall the set list other than we opened with Eagle's Path. 🦅

Thanks, Al. I see you visited my website and sent a message.

[@alejandrogp6576]

I stumbled upon this song on Apple Music, and it instantly transported me back to the late 80s in Mexico. I'm convinced it was part of a nostalgic ad campaign. That's why I came here, trying to find out where. The flood of emotions and memories it brought was overwhelming. As I read through the comments, I was moved to find that many others shared a similar sentiment of reconnecting with their childhood. This tune seems to have had a profound impact on all of us, providing a comforting soundtrack to our younger years

Thanks for weighing in, Joey. The music business has really changed, hasn't it? EMI now owns the Narada catalog and the label is essentially in mothballs. Downloads are available but you have to look to places like ebay if you want a CD or vinyl.

[@kimberlydornberger8204]

I remember when I was a teenager and I loved to draw to this music, it was inspiring, the whole album Desert Rain!

[@PaulSpeerMusic]

@rodstewartmexico Narada is owned by EMI and the label is more or less in "mothballs." They have discontinued most of the physical catalog so I think your best bet is to look on eBay and used record stores that have an online presence. I remember that album but don't think I ever heard it. Good luck!
