Jim Gabriel, bearing the name of an angel, creates music
that certainly is heavenly. I believe
that music is the greatest gift of mankind and those that create it are the
chosen ones to bring it to life. There is no such thing as coincidence in my
world, everything has a purpose, place and reason to live on this plane of
existence.
Some of us do more than just take up space and accept
whatever comes our way and others find their own way and live a focused and
fulfilling life. Jim Gabriel is meant to play the piano and bring us joy. And
he does exactly that on Into Eternity.
Into
Eternity is made up of 12 tracks of gorgeous melodies with the
finishing touches of guitar and strings to complete the musical paintings this
artist creates. I believe life is a canvas upon which we paint our lives. This
is a painting of beauty and grace that gives each listener their own slice of
personal heaven.
The one track that got my attention the most, and
prolifically, was “Midnight.” It is his
own interpretation of the song originally done by Coldplay on their sixth
studio album Ghost Stories. You have
the fortune of hearing that on the video provided with this review. For my ears
and senses, it got my attention because of the melody and the changes
throughout the track. There are moments of elation and then sadness, it was
like the range of human emotions all wrapped into one singular purpose within
the song.
That is but one example of that kind of story Mr. Gabriel
weaves into each one of the 12 tracks presented on Into Eternity. His talented fingers let the ivory keys do all the
talking and your eternity becomes a reality through what he creates.
I have always expressed that the beauty of music is the
ability for each individual listener to decide what to do with it and how they
interpret it. Personally I take the
beauty of what is offered and internalize it so it brings me peace and
therefore hits that switch in mind that says “OFF.” I hope all of you listeners
out there and potentially new listeners, can find your own path through this
incredible music like I have.
Into
Eternity is perfect just the way it is and that in and of itself is
the miracle of music.
