I didn’t put “Voice of Transcendence” in my title figuring you would ignore this post as mush. Maybe you will now! But Singh Kaur is one of those apostles of the New Age who was, and is, authentically transcendent. I mean her music. I doubt she was personally (who is?), but sadly I never met her.
I give you a link below to one of the many YouTube versions of her most popular work, The Universe.
Because, in the moiling strife of life in 2017, here’s a voice that seems to cut through to something, possibly impossibly, that goes to what T.S. Eliot called “the still point of the turning world.” But, you don’t have to agree with my gushing to enjoy the music.
Two Strong Recommendations:
(1) Do not listen to this as foreground music. The lyrics could be hokey to some, and they are certainly repetitive. Instead, use it as background music to some mundane activity, such as me writing this blog, or make her one of your Pandora stations so it comes on by chance, and seeps gently into your consciousness. You don’t need to know more than the sound, and the theme.
(2) Do not read of Singh Kaur’s life history until a time when you are really mellow. You’ll see (feel) why.
[NOTE: on Jan 9 the below link wasn’t working. Just search for her on Youtube and try another version of This Universe]
