Echoes of Liberation By Noah Blake

A lone note rises—fragile, uncertain—like the first breath after despair. The ground beneath is unsteady, but the heart beats on, driven by a rhythm older than the pain. Harriet’s steps echo in the dark, her lantern a small but defiant glow. “This way,” she whispers, her voice a bridge between fear and hope.

Her steps lead to others—voices rising in a chorus of defiance and faith. Mahalia Jackson’s hymn soars: “Precious Lord, take my hand,” her voice the steadying strength in the midst of chaos. Langston Hughes adds his words, painting freedom with lines of steel: “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”

The chords swell, deep and mournful, like the cries of mothers torn from their children. Yet resolve rises within them. Aretha Franklin sings of “Respect,” her voice an anthem that marches alongside Dr. King’s dream: “I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted.”

Fannie Lou Hamer’s declaration strikes like thunder: “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” The melody trembles with urgency as hands grasp for safety, for light, for a future. Shirley Chisholm steps forward boldly: “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”

The rhythm tightens, pulsing with the energy of marches and sit-ins. Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddam” pierces the silence, her defiance a dagger to oppression. Meanwhile, Duke Ellington’s “Take the A-Train” and Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” weave hope and movement, propelling the fight forward.

Louis Farrakhan, with his fire and conviction, reminds us of the enduring struggle for justice and self-determination. His voice, unapologetic and unyielding, calls for a reclamation of power and purpose, urging us to honor our heritage and demand our rightful place in the world.

The melody softens, tender and aching, as Harry Belafonte reminds us of the power of unity in action. His voice carries the spirit of freedom in songs sung across the picket lines. Muhammad Ali throws punches not just in the ring but against the walls of injustice, declaring himself “The Greatest” to uplift a generation.

The final notes linger, like the dawn after a long night. Barack Obama’s words remind us: “Yes, we can.” Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson carry the cadence forward, ensuring the dream does not falter.

Through their music, speeches, and sacrifices, these voices formed a symphony—a symphony of hope, defiance, and love. Their echoes remind us of the road we’ve traveled and the promise of what lies ahead.

Let us honor their legacy by creating our own verse, our own melody, in this unending anthem of liberation

Let’s meet on this,

COMMON GROUND. While listening to this, I feel like I’m in a different world. I’ve got chills that have no end. I have highs and lows. Sometimes I wish I could meld my very existence with the melody. My heart aches with every note, every lyric. It feels what is trying to be explained to me. When I put my headphones on and turn up the volume, I’m transported to a different planet. A different realm. The problems that exist, my stresses, my fears, everything, disappears. I’m no longer me. I’m this. Pause the music. Reality is loud. I feel like I’ve woken up from a dream and the coldness of reality sets in. Oh, here we go again. Put my headphones back on. Press Play. Ah, as quickly I was drawn out. I’m thrown back in. There is a sense of serenity that waves over me. These rhythms make me feel love, feel it’s loss, help me discover who I am, and who I strive to be. For you I’m Naked. I’m bared and I let you gaze upon me. I let it all free and show you who I am. Will you join me? I fill with confidence and steadfast resolve. This Sahara Love, allows me to see us riding together, along an endless highway, happy and determined. We’re carefree and enjoying every moment that is calm, blissful and natural. This is happiness without thoughts, with resolve. My heart sings at this point. It’s singing and it continues until I’ve reached forever. Happiness Amplified. It’s an joyous understanding of what this feeling is. I feel like I’ve where I need to be, with whom I need to be and it’s so amazing that I know now. I hear this and I wish this could translate into my actual life. I want to feel what I’m feeling now until I can’t breathe anymore. As it fades, I then question myself. Is this real? Is this what I want? Is It Love? How do I make this great feeling last? How do I cherish it? It’s you and I wrapped in eachother’s arms. The lights are off and we’re enjoying the moment. We look at each other and question everything and continuing locking lips. We think, even if it’s not, I’m not giving this up, I won’t stop the moment. Fuck it, we can fall the same way down, but this is where I want to be right now. Fast forward. I’m now questioning everything even more. I want to run. I’ve got Cold Feet. Then as I’m walking away. I’m walking a Tightrope. I’m scared. One wrong step and I’ll fall to the abyss that is below me. Can I do it? I’m walking along this and I’m just focusing on every step forward. Try not to fall. Don’t look down, don’t look back, only forward. Then suddenly, I’m Alright Now. “We tied our dreams up in a lover’s knot, but none of them came true.” “We fell apart.” To no fault of our own, our promises, our sweet nothings are gone, but I can continue on. I can be me. It’s so “Bittersweet & Blue.” I’m looking back at us. I reminisce and look back at our memories. “I guess I got lost today, but there’s always tomorrow.”  So what’s the truth in all of this? Always, will I love you. The truth is, my feelings are real. Maybe we’ll meld together again. I yearn for you. I’ve come to terms with how I feel and want you. Maybe there will come a time when we’ll need each other again. I know that my door is open for you, whenever you’d like...I’ll Always be in love with you. So in this journey, what have I discovered? That our Common Ground  to me is music and love. Every person in the world goes through these stages. Everyone takes a ride on this roller-coaster. What we’re all looking for is love. So my question is this, where are you on this ride?  

This album is phenomenal. When I had to stop in-between songs, I felt so incomplete. I felt anguished that I was interrupted. But having finished it from start to end, I’m calm, happy and ready for what’s next.

What helps you escape? What do you do to help you concentrate when you're trying to escape? I need music. Music while I'm writing helps me tremendously. My mind gets thrown into a different world and my heart begins to write. #music #writing #escape #musicandwords #musicandwriting #maketheworldstop #escapingfromreality #myownworld #musica #escribir #mimundo #writer #poet #author #escapist #dreamer #lover #fighter #wordporn #words #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #wattpad #concentrate #whatdoyoudo #interaction #askthepeople #followers #JBMarty #JBMartyUniverse
