This video clip by the Piano Guys has special significance to me because a part of Innerscape is set in Petra…and this is the closest I’ll probably ever come to actually seeing it for myself.
Petra is located in Jordan and is one of the wonders of the ancient world. Carved out of the living rock, it was once the centre of a thriving trade between East, Middle and West. The trade vanished a very long time ago but the city lives on.
While you’re watching the video clip, please say a little prayer for the pianist, if that’s your style. His daughter went missing very recently and hope has faded. I fear there won’t be another video clip for a while. 😦
cheers

Very impressive. Yes, I’ve never got to Petra, although I’d have loved to. And here’s hoping the pianist gets good news.

It gets to be depressing, doing a list of all the places I’d love to go, and probably never will. Wish I was young enough to go backpacking on a shoestring budget!

I must admit to being tempted, still. I think the only thing that stops me now (other than having no money, of course!) is commitments, rather than age.

I have just binged on the videos of the Piano Guys and love the joy that they put into their music. Thanks for setting me off on the trail! How awful for the pianist, and I too hope that his daughter can be returned safe and sound.

I’m so happy you enjoyed their music! They are one of the new breed of brilliant, talented Indies who have taken the digital world by storm. And I hope so too. 😦

Hi Ellen. I hope so too, but from what I’ve read it’s not looking great. Fingers crossed.

Thank you Meeks, that was superb. I’m so sorry to hear about Piano Man’s daughter and hope he has good news on that front soon.
I always wanted to visit Petra too but am not so sure since it was so badly defaced by ISIS. Irreligious or not I could still have admired the work that had gone into such a place. ISIS, a supposedly religious group had no right to defile a work of art ,centuries old just because it didn’t fit in with their ideas.
