The best beloved of all things
In My sight is Justice
Turn not away therefrom
If thou desirest Me
Neglect it not that I may confide in thee
By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes
And not through the eyes of others
And shalt know of thine own knowledge
And not through the knowledge of thy neighbor
Ponder this in thy heart
How it behooveth thee to be
Verily justice is My gift to thee
The best beloved of all things
In My sight is Justice
Turn not away therefrom
If thou desirest Me
Neglect it not that I may confide in thee
By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes
And not through the eyes of others
And shalt know of thine own knowledge
And not through the knowledge of thy neighbor
Ponder this in thy heart
How it behooveth thee to be
Verily justice is My gift to thee
And the sign of My loving-kindness
Set it then before thine eyes

Tracy Chapman incarnate. Suzanne Vega is the comparison that drew from the lips of a friend. Rosanna Lea is a former bandmate of mine, and I have been a champion of her spiritual-joy driven, articulate musical musings since we worked together in Manchester, England a few years back. This new album has blown my mind with its 'gorgeosity', its timeliness in the face of international conflicts, erm, WARS that perplex thinking human beings. This music is salve for the soul. BUY IT.

The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
