it's so nice to hear you play the piano Annie, another fine song...

Really lovely. There's an intimacy to just that voice and piano that no arrangement could come close to!

Beautiful Annie, and i love the sound in your piano...

@nicklaslofstrand Thank you for all your lovely comments, Nicklas! 😊🎶

I'm a little short of arguments for my new comment, but the pleasure of listening to you and him, well present.

Carried away by this beauty.Great vocals, lyrics, piano

In the previous version (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/gamma-o) there was excessive sound saturation. I kept only the vocal part (remixed) and redid the piano backing, aiming for a more minimalist result.

I think a good English translation of the original lyrics isn’t easy, but I’ll give it a try.

Lyrics [ENG / ITA]

And so we go on
along these parallel routes,
we’ll go farther
without ever moving forward,
for how much longer 
will you walk with me?

And so we sink
into this whirl of sensations,
and over us, you’ll see, 
the water will close again,
for as long as
it will still be enough for us?

And we stay like this
we’ll be fine together,
we’re already far away 
without ever having left

["Willkommen in Düsseldorf, meine Damen und Herren. 
Nach 11 Stunden und 59 Minuten sicher gelandet"].

-----

E proseguiamo così
su queste rotte parallele
andremo più lontano
senza avanzare mai
per quanto ancora
mi accompagnerai?

ed affondiamo così
in questo vortice di sensazioni
e su di noi vedrai l'acqua si richiuderà
per quanto ancora ci basterà

e rimaniamo così
staremo bene insieme
noi siamo già lontani
senza essere partiti mai

["Willkommen in Düsseldorf, meine Damen und Herren. 
Nach 11 Stunden und 59 Minuten sicher gelandet"].

7am on a spring morning at Blessington Lakes in County Wicklow and all was still, suddenly i heard the most amazing sound that broke the silence, 2 amazing white swans flew out of the mist with such gracefulness and power it took my breath away, i wrote this song to try and capture the beauty and style of these amazing birds.
this is my fist ever instrumental . I hope you like it.

Sparks (For two + guitars)

This is music I wrote more than ten years ago that I decided to remix as best I could. I was just learning how to lay down more than just a piano track and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I always had engineers that did that for me before there were online sites like Soundcloud and others.  I have 2" recording studios tapes from 40+ years ago that has original music that I want to get remixed and there is no one near where I live. If anyone can help me out, let me know. I live in PA.

Morning Star

i heard on the radio the other day that loneliness is the new epidemic.............peace and cheers for having a listen





                 Afterthought

well i don't really know what happened to us
but i could sure use a friend right now
cos all that we built is turning to dust
and there ain't no more how or why

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really wouldn't have a clue
i'm trying to appreciate, the little effort that you gone and made
but it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

so don't give it a second thought
it never mattered much before
and if there was a page for all the mistakes we made
i'd fill a book or four, a volume that's for sure

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really don't have a clue
i'm trying to understand, things were good and now they're bad
and it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

Was lovely to write a song at my real piano. 😊🎶🎤🎹

My mind gets ahead of itself
And before I know it 
I’m blown away...

Don’t slow me down
When I get carried away
So carried away
Don’t slow me down

My mind it races 
And my imagination soars...

Don’t hold me back
When I get carried away
So far away
Away, away...
I get carried away...

Drifting
Soaring
With you...

My heart 
It races
Just for you...
Just for you...

CARRIED AWAY (acoustic piano)

This one was inspired by Kalief Browder:
(Special thanks to Dan "My Right-Hand Man" Farnsworth on drums)

Sooner or later
You come back down to earth
Sooner or later
You find out what you're worth

Didn't you say
You won't break anymore
Didn't you say
There's nothing left to take anymore

Like ivy that grows down your window
Your spirit has tendrils that pull up the brickwork
The program won't break you 
The system won't make you stop
Shining your beacon of truth to the darkness above

Exonerate angel

It’s so shameful
Our lies to sleep at night
It’s so shameful
Laws don’t make it right
How much abuse
Can you take in a life?
Holding on to truth
You’d rather be dead than live a lie

Exonerate angel
Your memory will usher the change
Exonerate angel
Your life was not taken in vain

Make It Mean Something (Non Zero Sum Game)

And the bricks are all wet
The sand is damp and 
We smell of work
Our dirty hands 
Have built a castle
Hid our dream 
But they hang on every word
Yet we are no-one

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us walk 
Past the tower

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

And we don’t count
But we are counted
Our steps are followed
Our hearts recorded
We’ll shine on the inside
Look dull in the eye
Slow on the stair and
Quick on the glance

The earth is full of crowds
The seas of plastic shrouds
You could make it mean
Something
Their fingers stroke devices
Reality’s in crisis
They will see us talk
In the shadows

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us talk 
By the tower
But you could make it mean
More than a movie scene
They will see us look
Right through them 
And we can make it seem
More than a dying scream
They will see us kiss
Forever
