SAND SPOKEN INTRO
In the beginning
There was me
I was alone
And it was dark
And in that darkness
A sound
Your voice
You called
You were alone
But I heard you
Every seed that gives us life
Every man must take a wife
Only one sun ever shines
Only one sun
Yours and mine
Jeremiah Sand was a righteous man
Who’s heart was full of love
He wandered the land
On the shifting sands
Searching for a Dove
These children cry
For what they lack
But a child can learn a lot
And a child is taught the lessons well
The light that shines through everything
The light is truth and the lesson’s learned
This song of you and me
Every seed that gives us life
Every man must take a wife
Only one sun
Ever shines
Only one sun
Yours and mine
Jeremiah Sand was a righteous man
Who’s heart was full of love
He wandered the land
On the shifting sands
Searching for a Dove
I saw you lost and wandering
Adrift upon the seas
Your head is far beneath the waves
But your heart should be so free
Listen you must tune your ear
To celestial frequencies
It’s in the air
The sound of love
Vibrations of the truth are here
The truth of you and me
Every seed that gives us life
Every man must take a wife
Only one sun
Ever shines
Only one sun
Yours and mine
Jeremiah Sand was a righteous man
Who’s heart was full of love
He wandered the land
On the shifting sands
Searching for a Dove
The rushing fools in plastic homes
These busy little bees
Running, busy back and forth
They never ever see
Their masters hand in every thing
The order of the trees
The song that’s whistling on the breeze
This song of you and me
Be sure to note how the eerie sounds Johannsson created set the scene for the horror that is the film Mandy. – Flaunt Magazine
The song, “Amulet Of The Weeping Maze” offers a lens into the villain Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roache), the cult leader that would go head to head with Nicolas Cage’s Red Miller. The song appears in Mandy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), and was the debut track that Lakeshore Records released early this year when the film headed to Sundance. Flaunt Magazine reveals more about the film’s soundtrack, which features score by the late Johann Johannsson, who actually started working on the score as far back as 2016. More on that and the full Lyric Video to “Amulet Of The Weeping Maze” is available now exclusively at Flaunt.
It looks like the performance is one of Cage’s most daring to date – iO9
The good folks over at Gizmodo’s io9 site have curated a neat list of just 33 Fall films they recommend, and what do you know, film festival darling Mandy starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow) is featured towards the top of the list! Check out the full list at io9 online.
Also, don’t you hate it when you’re leaving the theater after the movie is over and want to know what song was that? And, because using Shazam is a no-no while the movie is playing, you’ll do yourself a favor when you pre-order the album featuring score by the late and great Johann Johannsson now, as the full album releases the same day as the film! The iTunes order comes with two instant-grat tracks and an exclusive bonus track, “Chainsaw Fight” only available on Apple Music and iTunes.
