Dirk Maassen - Eagle 2012 Reupload (www.facebook.com/Dirk.Maassen.Music)

As the saying goes: nothing ever ends well, otherwise it would not end. And yet large parts of us still wish things would not end, even after we convince ourselves it is for the best. Is it an act of grace to accept fate and slowly fade away without a fight, or does the universe want to test our resolve and see just how far we are willing to go to obtain, and more importantly perhaps to keep, the object of our desires? It is human not to know; it is human to exist in bewilderment regarding such matters. Being aware of this, however, never makes it any easier. Endings always bring an emptiness in a person's heart and soul. No one ever wants to fail, but sometimes we wait too long to really try in the right ways to truly succeed. The eleventh hour concession is always the hardest case to handle. It leaves one with many doubts. It leaves a person with the hope that things would be, could be, should be, better if only... In such cases the weather can be forever raining in one's heart. 

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.

Andrew Souter -- Still Raining There

SAD PIANO  - Alone In The Dark  - Vadim Kiselev

Knots

A little ambient piece I wrote yesterday afternoon.. Sorry not to have so much time for composing music until July, but I really wanted to share something with you in a little free time from my studying.

I always thought of ambient music as a way to effectively depict soundscapes with notes and musical colors (frequencies, tones, silences).

I’ll listen to this with closed eyes and I’ll see sounds painting a landscape in the imaginary space. Like emerging from the deepness of your thoughts, and sorrounding you with its presence, because it's you who has been creating it. Music conceals places in its notes.

I called that place "The wastelands", a distant landscape brought back to our time for a little moment, as it were while the wind blew in the cloudy sky and the sun set over the horizon of the open fields.

Just like a dream, at the end you open your eyes and there's no trace left, if not a subtle sensation of having been there, somewhere, sometime...

Lyrics:

Lorelai, I saw 
Broken photographs on the bedroom floor,
Faded voices and bad choices have gone to rest,
I’m running from you.

Love, won’t you call
You could fall.

Oh I know, that you’re gone, 
Dried up tears don’t fall anymore, 
And I saw your light brush me
It could shed

Tom Day & Monsoonsiren - Conversations

Tith-73

Blake Shelton - Sure Be Cool If You Did

So many unspoken words, so many undone things: In the quiet moments of reflection you think about the possibilities, how to undo something, how to make it better in the future. We can't change the past, but we can start every day again to change, to make it better. These are the emotions, which move my overflowing heart. 
You know that? Suddenly there is a melody in your mind and you have to play it. A melody of the heart, I think.  

My Overflowing Heart

If You Would Only Let Me:

I would put you first; I would never be too busy. I would tell you daily how important you are to me. I would hold you every night and kiss you every morning. I would explore every inch of your soul and still long to know more. I would hold your hand on long walks. I would break patterns of ineffective communication, admit my own weaknesses, and let go of male pride which deludes me into mistakingly believing I need to know everything about everything. I would listen more actively to any frustrations you may be experiencing and avoid feeling blamed for them. I would avoid offering solutions when all you really need is empathy and friendship, not a super-hero who thinks he has to fix everything. I would learn to work together effectively as a team and value deeply your strengths without feeling threatened by our differences. I would learn to forgo power and choose grace. I would forgive us both for all of the clumsy mistakes we made along the way. I would learn to value what is important. I would give thanks to the universe for the gift of your presence in my life. I would help you become all you are destined to be. I would learn how to love selflessly, and be of service, both to you, as well as to whatever higher power wished to use our example.

Andrew Souter -- If You Would Only Let Me (Part)

Pianist Michael Hauber  (https://soundcloud.com/michael-hauber) from Stuttgart / Germany made another lovely recording of one of my "Prelude fantaisies", its  "No. 5", a short but very delicate piece, performed on a Roland RD 170. 
He played all 8 "Preludes fantaisies", so we decided to create a new album. I am sure you will enjoy it, as it contains some of my most extraordinary works...

You can download the album on BandCamp for the price of a coffee :-)

I am very glad that -after a long pause- pianist Pamela Chng from Perth / Australia (https://soundcloud.com/pamela-chng) played one of my pieces again on her great sounding Kawai upright piano. Thank you, Pam, for this lovely interpretation!

Loreley is one of the most famous German Sagas, she is a mystical figure living at the Rhein river. Her singing seduces the captains, so of the thousands of ships crossing the Rhein every year, some are caught by the Loreley.

Heinrich Heine wrote 1824 his most famous poem about the Loreley:
"Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten, dass ich so traurig bin..."
"I don´t know what does it mean, that I am so sad..."
(here is the full text: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Lore-Ley)
On a side-note: 
Heinrich Heines books were banned and burned during the "3rd Reich", because he was Jewish. 
But even the Nazis didn´t dare to ban this most famous German poem, so they just wrote "Unknown German poet" underneath...
That´s the power of Art!

This poem and the Saga inspired many artists to write songs and musicals, among them Franz Liszt, Clara Schumann and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
Here is my humble try, the melody is derived from an old German folk tune.
