Musinique makes AI tools to promote Indie artists and Indie voices. This podcast is to share any art from those voices that can be put in audio form, poems, spoken words, news casts, etc. More info can be found at Musinique https://www.musinique.com Musinique also has a record label and publishing company to create and support independent thought and art. In particular, charging artists to get on playlists rather than adding them based on an honest reaction to their music is a major pain point for struggling artists. Our playlists search tool (coming soon) will easily allow indie artists to find playlists with integrity and avoid the exploitative "A&R" people. Musinique writes lots of protest songs in our belief that the power of music and compassion is a better path for change than hate. Our resident poet, Nik Bear Brown, also creates spoken word compositions and reads public domain poems (typically pre-1929).

    Old Sultan

    Old Sultan was faithful and true But his teeth were gone, his years were through The shepherd thought, “Tomorrow he’ll go” But his wife said, “No, let him stay, you know” Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But he’s served us well, he’s brave and strong One more chance is all he needs To prove his worth with loyal deeds Poor Sultan lay by, feeling sad and low He heard the words, he’d have to go But off he went to his friend, the wolf With a plan to stay – a clever gulf The wolf said, “Sultan, here’s what we’ll do— Tomorrow I’ll grab the child from you You chase me down and play the hero Then your master will love you more than a year ago” Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But he’s served us well, he’s brave and strong One more chance is all he needs To prove his worth with loyal deeds So the wolf ran off with the child in tow Sultan chased fast, putting on a show The shepherd cried, “Sultan, you’re bold and true” And gave him food and a cushion too The wolf came back, grinning wide “Now let me in to steal some pride Just turn away when I grab a sheep— A little reward for secrets to keep” But Sultan may be old, with teeth all gone Still, he’ll stay loyal, fierce, and strong With a wise old bark and a clever plan He won’t betray his master’s hand So Sultan warned the shepherd in time And the wolf got smacked for his little crime Now angry and sore, the wolf did declare “I’ll have revenge—this isn’t fair” The wolf sent a boar to challenge a fight But Sultan went with his friend, tail high and bright The cat with her limp and her tail held tall Made the wolf and boar feel two feet small Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But with friends like this, he’ll fight till dawn For in his heart, loyal and true He stands his ground, like he used to do The boar ran off with a scratch and a squeal And the wolf climbed high like a frightened eel Sultan laughed as he walked away With his cat by his side, both bold and brave Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But he’s fierce, he’s clever, he’s never withdrawn With his friend, the cat, he’ll face the fray A loyal heart that’ll never stray

    Good King Wenceslas (Nik Bear Brown)

    Good King Wenceslas (Nik Bear Brown) Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even. Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel. “Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain, Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes’ fountain.” “Bring me food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither, You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.” Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together, Through the cold wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather. “Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger, Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread now in them boldly, You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.” In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, while God’s gifts possessing, You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing. Timeless Truths Through the forest dark they came, where the wind was howling, Faintly glowed the page's flame, fear and doubt embowling. "Fear not, lad, for light will show, trust the Lord's great leading, In the act of love, we grow, faith itself is feeding." At the cottage door they stood, where the frost was biting, Wenceslas brought forth the wood, warmth and hope uniting. "Take this food and take this cheer, God has not forsaken, In the chill of winter drear, His love is unshaken." Homeward went the page and king, hearts aglow with glory, Every step a song to sing, spreading Christmas' story. Thus we learn that giving light, melts the cold and sorrow, Love's own flame can guide the night, brightening the morrow
