This is my version of "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac that I filmed and recorded two nights ago. Reminding me of waking up alone in the December Darkness, the day after the car accident with my ex-boyfriend on December 17th 2019, and feeling my body in pain I had never felt. Everything felt dizzy and spinning yet I was alive and my spirit within was still alive (Thanks to the Power of Jesus Christ). It was the most surreal feeling. The song, "Rhiannon" was one of the first songs I listened to. There is something beautiful about being able to sing this song and reflect on what happened with full vitality back. I am posting this a day before the car accident 2 years later.. It's a Joy to be alive and healed and my body getting healthier from all the harm before. I really do look and lost the weight like I did in 2019! I thought I'd never see the day I could embody that same feeling again and actually film myself looking like my "Make Me" days again. This really reminded me of the free feeling filming "Desert Rose" by Sting, too. I just spontaneously gave it my all and it became one of my favourite videos I ever made, to edit and look back on of capturing a moment full of intense energy - in my life.
There is much more to the story regarding this haunting song and what I experienced in the subtle, and I'll leave that for another video, and most for my private diary. Life is sometimes stranger than fiction.
The lyric stanza;
"She rules her life like a fine skylark and when the sky is starless,"
reminds me of how it feels to be single and re-learning who I am and the abundance of self-love and compassion coming with it, that I lost for 7 years. Also matching that wild, slippery, inner-Gemini that me and Stevie both share - riding the night underneath the Full Moon.
Someone wrote in a comment this notable piece I'd like to share about who Rhiannon was written after (so interesting! and no I'm not committing idolatry, or witchcraft, or glorifying anything pagan - Jesus is still above all to me, I just find this interesting, notable and mysterious!):
"Rhiannon is a Celtic Goddess of the Moon, Fertility, Rebirth, Wisdom, Magic, Transformation, Beauty, Artistic Inspiration and is the Patroness of Poets, as well as the Divine Queen of the Fairies (Queene Titania from A Mid Summer Night's Dream or Una and the Lion reference here!) (Edit: Titania/Brittania/Tatiana/Tania/Anna)
She is reputed to be extremely beautiful and have a tremendous singing voice. She was born at the first moonrise, and much of what we know about her comes from the Mabinogen, an ancient book of Welsh folklore.
According to the Mabinogen, Rhiannon fell in love with a mortal and refused to marry one of her "own kind", much to the distress of her family (wow!). The lucky guy was Prince Pwyll. They first met by Pwyll's castle, at The Tors, a place reputed to be just above the entrance to the underworld, and was thought to cause enchantment and love. Pwyll immediately fell in love, and when Rhiannon rode by, he followed her. On and on they rode, Pwyll pursuing her, however he could never bridge the distance between them, no matter how fast or long he rode. When he could ride no more, he called out to her in desperation and she stopped to wait for him, smiling to let him know all he had to do is ask for her."
Just wanted to share that enchanting comment written by user, "Aytuğ Canöz", below one of the Fleetwood Mac YouTube videos.
I also feel like Rhiannon relates to the Sagittarius constellation. I'm not sure why, but it just feels like it. November-December are her months to come out and dance across the sky.
I will be uploading a separate commentary/behind the scenes/makeup video of just me being weird and talking about how I made the video since it is intrinsic to capture spur-of-the-moment, fun things!
(*I don't consent to any witchcraft related to this song, historically, nor consent in the Name of the Almighty, Jesus Christ, to this post worshipping anyone other than the Most High, as the Holy Spirit is always in me and will radiate with and purify through this song.)
All rights go to the owners, I do not own the instrumental, melody or lyrics. Written by Stevie Nicks in February of 1975. Vocals recorded on a Blue Snowball Microphone on FL Studio 9.
Thank you to the one who nudged me to this song, with Love.
