Sep 17, 2011 - Speaks softly of a peaceful balance to be found/
Just beyond/
The road within without a right or wrong/
With lanes for only one where solely one must see/
And will know./
Stillness that resounds, singing sounds of hope to light my way/
Drawing me near to a path that is clear,/
To free myself from darkness/
And the voice within the candle whispers of a timeless peace/
That lies beyond./
And the voice within the candle whispers of a timeless peace/
That lies beyond./ :)lyric
Sep 17, 2011 - There falls the words of fools about my ears/
To hasten by the years the journey that I make/
Through myself./
The travellers that pass by me as I wend my way/
All reaching out to say their path can find the way/
To the truth./
Answers everywhere, promising solutions to my fears/
Leading through halls with no doors in the walls/
And leave me in the darkness./
But to close my ears to all will bar the way/
For those who've travelled through./
The silence of a candle burning in my room
May 19, 2010 - Oh, I love to watch his right hand....how many players can use all of their fingers like that? He's got long nails on all of his fingers and they are ALL plucking the strings. Actually, I like watching all of him, but his hands love and KNOW that guitar and it speaks to him so very well.--Anisa Gamal
Apr 14, 2010 - This song is incredible. My favorite version can be found on the 1975 Vanguard release "Oregon In Concert". It goes on for 10 minutes and gives each member a turn at improvising the melody. Colin's sitar playing is extraordinary. I was lucky enough to see Oregon in 1974 and that concert still remains a highlight.
Apr 13, 2010 - VenusandMars, YOU are so right, the pianoversion of Towner´s "Silence of a candle" which I also heard the first time on his "Diary"-album is probably one of those pieces I would like to be played at my funeral - simple musical bliss for me!!
Jan 13, 2010 - I t was the late 60's that Ralph played with Paul Winter...in fact Ralph's group, Oregon, was spawned from members of the Paul Winter consort.
Oct 1, 2009 - I wasn't familiar w/ this version of this song. It's quite lovely, I first heard on the LP Icarus by The Paul Winter Consort, which is also nice, It has vocals and a lot less virtuoso playing on it ( a lot shorter in length). I believe Ralph Towner was also in The Paul Winter Consort lineup i the early mid seventies.
