I feel them, lifting me, On Wings of Desire. © 2011 currier/piazza music Spiritual author Stuart Wilde was the first to recognize the special quality of Cecilia's voice when he met her after one of his seminars. Later that evening she "wowed everyone" when she stood on a table and sang "Amazing Grace" a cappella. Wilde generously organized her first recording, "Voice of the Feminine Spirit" and included her on his tour of Australia with other "collective conscious" authors, including: Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer. I met Cecilia in 1995. She contacted me while on tour with Stuart. She had bought a copy of "New York Nights" an album I had written and produced for Sean McDermott. He was touring Australia at the same time, co-starring with Marina Prior in "West Side Story." Cecilia bought "New York Nights" at the theater after seeing the show and went back stage to meet Sean. She introduced herself by saying, "Hi, I'm Cecilia from Norway", I've sold over 5,000 albums in the last 4 weeks." She gave him her CD and asked if he would give it to his producer... me. When I first listened to "Voice of the Feminine Spirit," I was struck by Cecilia's unique sound like Enya, Celine Dion or Sarah Brightman. We began writing one another. A few months later I got a call "Hi, Its Cecilia I'm in New York and in front of your building." She came up, I met an angel! I made "Wings of Desire" with my writing partner Jim Piazza a few years later after the untimely death of my "soul mate", Dr. Peter (J) John Brothers. Peter and Cecilia had met several times when she was either visiting or working in New York City and they really liked one another a lot He was very sick with complications from the HIV/AIDS virus when Cecilia brought by two healers on one of her visits to the City. Margaret Birkin and her manager Peter were a team. They had co-authored books, gave seminars and were on the "awareness" lecture circuit. Apparently, very credible for folks in that business. My clearest memory was that Margaret, who was, "The Medium", after drinking a lot of red wine, went into a trance... Peter Brothers, practiced Family Medicine. He had "little faith" and "no experience" with folks who "channeled". When her "spirit guide" took over, she began to talk like a sailor. I remember thinking her "guide" was one crusty old geezer! " We all had a really good evening. Cecilia genuinely wanted "to heal" Peter by bringing these folks by. I felt comforted by her "Complete Faith". She became my (Saint Cecilia) that night. Whatever transpired, Peter seemed to have fun and we went to bed feeling hopeful. He died a few months later at age 34... forever my "Saint Peter". His favorite movie... "The Rapture". I don't claim to have a "spirit guide" but I didn't really write "Wings of Desire" either... it came through me. After Peter's death, I went looking for Angels! I began my search by re-reading The Holy Bible, and then discovered H.P. Blavatsky, The Esoteric Tradition (Ancient Wisdom of The Secret Doctrine), Theosophy and the lessons of Kabbalah. I was completely inspired after seeing the 1987 film "Der Himmel über Berlin / Wings of Desire" by the German director Wim Wenders. Set in the late 1980s, toward the end of the Cold War, it follows two Angels, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander), as they roam the city, unseen and unheard by the people, observing and listening to their diverse thoughts. A subplot of the film follows Peter Falk, cast as himself, who has arrived in Berlin to make a film about Berlin's **** past. As the movie progresses, it turns out that Peter Falk was also once an Angel, who renounced his immortality to become a mortal participant in the world after he grew tired of always observing and never experiencing. The film's title and Peter's death were inspiration for the song. Cecilia was kind to demo the song some years later while staying with me.
