DirgeK R.I.P. (5th Oct 1981 - 3rd October 2006)
Today is the anniversary of DirgeK’s death and Sunday would have been her 27th birthday. As a celebration of her life we invite you to stream her artist page DirgeK , sing along, play along and it you would like to record your efforts that would be great.
Some songs are on free download at last.fm and MySpace (Although I don’t think it is working with the new player)
LASTFM
MySpace
I have uploaded two other versions of the song "Coming Home' which were made during production of this song with Heavy D and the Lucksta on lead guitar as I would like everyone who collaborated with DirgeK to join in the celebration.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow,
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain,
I am in the graceful rush,
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night,
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room,
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not die.
Mary E Frye
WHITE BIRDS DESIGN © Syd Meale (DirgeK’s Dad)
White bird shall fly,
fly high into wisps
spanning hopes chapter,
soar from earth's hold,
to transcend wisps beyond.
Solitary white bird fly.
enhance fleeting glimpses,
carry the newborn sign,
coast a shrouding blue,
on to extensive glimpses beyond.
Unsighted white bird fly,
cry the reign of disarray,
spread platonic wings afar,
glide on winds of wisdom,
diride the affray as force.
Lonely white bird return,
return with swoops of glee,
synchronise gifts glances,
elude tentacles, spawn of derision,
encircle with assuring verses.
Untiring white birds home,
home with silent ovation,
serenading with a voice of light,
to disillusion doubtful life's façade,
so encourage identity's noble elation.
Rest in Peace our beautiful baby
DK's mum and Dad

Absolutely awesome! She's one of my phavorite artists on IAC, and I got a little sad readin' this. I was just braggin' about her in another BLOG comment & listening to her music this mornin' and earlier this evening -- so her spirit is definitely vibrantly affecting the muses & such out there!!
My heart goes out to you DK's Mum & Dad, you raised an amazing woman & musician/Artist ! I celebrate her beauty with you. -pHLeGM

I left you a note at the MySpace page too.
And, as a parent, I can only imagine the depth of your pain. And I admire all that you are doing to keep your daughter's memory and art alive and vibrant.
Bless you and your family. And sleep soundly, DirgeK. Your physical presence is missed, but your art and spiritual presence shines as brightly as ever.

A cyber embrace goes out to you today Dirgek's mum ...
Thank you for sharing the extraordinary life ... mind ... spirit ... song & voice of your beloved daughter may she live long in the hearts of all who are blessed enough to know her through your loving efforts. She is simply unforgettable.
I've taken a few liberties and am posting a few snippets from a variety of poems and such in honor of Dirgek today, I hope you don't mind. Today I shall light some candles round my vase filled with colorful blooming Lillies and go about my work listening to the soulful and passion filled songs of the one and only Dirgek. She is a light that never goes out ... and I'm grateful to know of her and hear her, she has inspired my soul immensely.
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
{On Death - Kahlil Gibran}
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
{ Robert Frost }
Lazy trip to heaven on the wings of your love
Banana moon is shining in the sky,
Feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me
Know that I'm in heaven when you smile,
Though we're stuck here on the ground, I got something that I've found
And it's you.
And I don't have to take no trip to outer space
All I have to do is look at your face,
And before I know it, I'm in orbit around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you,
When I see your constellation, honey, you're my inspiration, and it's you.
You're my north star when I'm lost and feeling blue,
The sun is breaking through the clouds don't you, don't you know it's true?
Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you,
When I see your smiling face, honey,
I know nothing ever going to take your place, and it's you.
{ Little Trip To Heaven - Tom Waits }
Come the morning Ill be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere
Old world goodbye cause Ill be
Home in the sky in the morning bye bye
Stars are crying over my old house
But Im still breathing happy above the clouds
Home
Home at last because
All of the bad times are past
Music is a lady that I still love
Cause she gives me the air that I breathe
Music is a lady that I still need
Cause she brings me the food that I eat
Come the morning Ill be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere
Home, world goodbye
Cause Ill be home in the sky in the morning
Bye Bye
{ Home in the sky - Cat Stevens }
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
{Seneca}
Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
{John Muir}
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
{ Maya Angelou }
Here's to Dirgek, an artist who's work one cannot experience without feeling the depths of ones heart ...

A gift to one another we are... her talent, her humor, her story... has allowed each of us to care for her in our own way. In sharing DirgeK's life... you have allowed her to penetrate our hearts... and in that... her spirit lives within each one of us... thank you for allowing us to know her... for allowing our hearts to love her too. In honor of DirgeK's life, I will as well, light a candle... and play her music.

What a beautiful way to keep her memory alive and celebrate her life.
I didn't know the story behind it all, so thanks for including us in your celebration.
As they say:
Joy shared is doubled; sorrow shared is halved....
Looks like you've done both.

"The Pain Is Part Of The Happiness"
^ Quote by C.S. Lewis ^
As I know what it feels like, I can't find other words, but those are very fine and meaningful words. I recently saw a superb movie in which Anthony Hopkins played C.S. Lewis and Debra Winger his dying wife. You may have seen it.
Dirge lives on because she is loved and remembered.

nice name drop RedRobin. LOVE C.S. Lewis -- one of my favorite OPEN-minded Authors in all of Christendom.... You should check out his secular works of fiction, I use to own them. Can't remember the titles --but most telling were some of his VERY exploratory & open-ended short stories.... And did you know he was a contemporary of J.R.R. Tolkien, and they were best-buds who hung out & drank pints of tasty English/Irish/German Beer together? yup.
uh... Sorry to go off topic for a moment, but saw an opportunity to expand the mind of another C.S. Lewis fan...
DirgeK's music is truly amazing.... I was reading how she worked for hours & hours on getting her vocal chords to form all octaves of notes that she could accomplish. And it shows in her pitch-perfect style & HUGE vocal range! She could've been an Opera Singer for Christ's sake. Simply incredible voice, and on my playlist HEAVILY for the last few days.
ROCK on DirgeK ! your spirit/soul LIVES
