Description:
Beneath The Olympian Skies is Jim's latest offering -- a stellar collection of original compositions that continue Jim's theme of melodic tributes to places and people that have impacted his life. ...Memorable melodies, lush arrangements, and an engaging diversity of themes from the dramatic title cut, to the majestic "Beside The River Of Dreams", to the spirited "Rio".
Credits:
"From every place below the skies
The grateful song, the fervent prayer,--
The incense of the heart, --may rise
To heaven, and find acceptance there."
Every Place a Temple
John Pierpont 1785 - 1866

Don't Stand at My Grave
(Music: Jim Wilson, Lyrics: Anonymous)
Don't stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I'm a thousand winds that blow,
I'm the diamond glints on snow.
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I'm the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Don't stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
Brad Cole: Synths/ String arrangement
Kristen Autry: Violin
Briana Bandy: Viola
Sharon Rizzo: Cello
