A singer/songwriter named Tony King and his band Beautifully Mad took me up on my public offer for any musicians so inclined to put my poem "Lao Sue" to music, and it's so gorgeous I need to share it immediately. King won Australian Songwriter of the Year
This is so incredibly beautiful! The music, the voice, the lyrics, the visuals, and little Yoda at the end. Congratulations that your invitation led to such an amazing collaboration. May it be a precursor for all our futures!
Wow! This is fucking awesome! Its incredibly beautiful. As a martial artist and late bloomer myself, I can tell you this has amazing appeal. My favorite part though, is the baby at the end. Thank you.
Lovely lovely, well done Caitlin Collective Collaboration. I can already hear covers of this version…Ramones/ Green Day punk rock version… Fiona Apple softly spoken and sung version…it’s all good.
If anyone's interested I've transcribed the crucial Scott Ritter warning to Finland. Click my substack link to access, I got most way thru last night and hope to finish last ten minutes Tonite.
I find the read is approximately 17 minutes so you can save roughly 20 minutes by reading, but please watch this critical piece, so timely , at least once if you haven't. Regards
Brilliant, CJ! Thanks for creating a spot of beauty in an increasingly dark world.
Really sweet. I enjoyed that💕
Our baby girl's a music star!
So Cool! Amazingly well done - LOVE IT!!!

Symbiosis and emergence. The good attracting the good. Bloody fantastic.
Such an beautifully evocative song. Great work. Caitlin - your words are like mana from sanity, truth and justice heaven.
