ed sheeran - tenerife sea (lovely piano)

A solo piano journey through Mike Oldfield’s The Songs of Distant Earth.

This interpretation weaves Let There Be Light, Supernova, and Magellan into a single performance — a quiet tribute to both Oldfield’s music and Arthur C. Clarke’s vision of our planet as one small, fragile home against the backdrop of the stars.

"It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars."
— Arthur C. Clarke, The Songs of Distant Earth

— Bastien DiArgos

Let There Be Light - Supernova - Magellan (Radio Edit)

Life is so beautiful. Live it with the knowledge of its end and it will flow as never before. Look better when its boring...it really isn't...like a baby lying between ruins in a warzone...like hope in a warzone!
My inspiration is a previously released song about Israel's war against Hamas (https://soundcloud.com/jacques-van-der-linden-1/israel-oh-israel-in-cminmaj-241014?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing&si=15821a09277241239e6007bfa9e8c657). I am not for Hezbollah, but I am against the ongoing war in Israel, which has now become completely nonsensical: the fight against Hamas is now being waged ON THE BACKS of the population of Gaza as "collateral damage"; despite my studies as a theologian of Christianity, I can no longer stand that the Netanyahu government has to cause so many casualties among the Gazan population; and now especially with the need to bring the entire Gaza Strip under Israel's rule... in this war, weapons bring no freedom, Mr. Netanyahu, no freedom for the Gazans!! The accompanying melody consists of three parts: part 1 the war in which the suffering of the people is portrayed (as far as that can be done only with sounds) part 2 the baby/life in Gaza still every day part 3 the conclusion to a classically played ending ending with "the hope that it will always end well" a major chord.

In Dutch: Het leven is zo mooi. Leef het met de kennis van het einde en het zal stromen als nooit tevoren. Kijk beter wanneer het saai is... het is het echt niet... zoals een baby die tussen ruïnes ligt in een oorlogsgebied... zoals hoop in een oorlogsgebied! 
Mijn inspiratie is een eerder uitgebrachte song over de oorlog van Israël tegen Hamas (https://soundcloud.com/jacques-van-der-linden-1/israel-oh-israel-in-cminmaj-241014?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing&si=15821a09277241239e6007bfa9e8c657). Ik ben niet voor Hezbollah, maar ik ben tegen de voortdurende oorlog in Israël, die nu volkomen zinloos is geworden: de strijd tegen Hamas wordt nu gevoerd OP DE SCHULDEREN van de bevolking van Gaza als 'collaterale schade'; ondanks mijn studies als theoloog van het christendom kan ik het niet langer verdragen dat de regering-Netanyahu zoveel slachtoffers onder de Gazaanse bevolking moet veroorzaken; en nu vooral met de noodzaak om de hele Gazastrook onder Israëlisch gezag te brengen... in deze oorlog brengen wapens geen vrijheid, meneer Netanyahu, geen vrijheid voor de Gazanen!! De bijbehorende melodie bestaat uit drie delen: deel 1 de oorlog waarin het lijden van de mensen wordt afgebeeld (voor zover dat alleen met geluid kan worden gedaan) deel 2 de baby/leven in Gaza elke dag nog steeds deel 3 de conclusie naar een klassiek gespeeld einde dat eindigt met "de hoop dat het altijd goed zal aflopen" een majeur akkoord.

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Si tú me faltaras (de tedio moriría)

Sour - Jumbles

Lyrics:
I could sit in the corner all night
I can mingle with the people
And have conversations with everyone
But you don't invite me to your parties
Any longer in your frontal lobe

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy

Oh, can't you see?
Won't you adjust your frequency?
We've been on this wave length for so long
 I feel that there's something wrong

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy
My love. it  keeps coming back to me
Reverse telepathy, reverse telepathy (can't you see?)
I feel like i'm dining on 
Edible electricity!
Reverse telepathy

Darling, won't you come back to me?
You're using your
Reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy!

Reverse Telepathy

There’s a map upon your face
Says join the human race
Often whispered sweetly

There’s a hunger in your eyes
Tells your stomach not to lie
Often whispered sweetly

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Is it magical?
Not so physical 
Metaphysical
Not invisible
Not divisible
Nothing risible 
Shoot the animal, Officer Dibble

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Often whispered sweetly

They rely on the ways of a gun 
Keep it simple
Keep it pithy
They rely on the ways of a gun

Something in your eye
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your mind
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your eye
Is tugging at your heart

Pooh pooh pooh pooh

Officer Dibble..

Among the Missing

Chill Relaxation... I know the word is ‘beach’ in English, but it once was ‘strand’ and the Danish word is ‘strand’ ;)

A Day On The Strand

New Album Release. The structure of the album combines motifs of exploration and specific themes of physics and art. A use of synths, sampled and modeled instruments create the thematic links throughout the songs.

You can download the track for free, listen or buy the whole 226-Ra album on http://sandner.bandcamp.com/album/226-ra

Thanks for the kindness and support.

Any physical manifestation underlies the movement. The existence of music, a favorite field of my personal research, underlies the movement.  Starting from the assumption that art forms always interpenetrate, and even complement each other when they border and cross over into apparently remote areas, I have strongly dedicated myself to investigating the inextricable relationship between music and movement.  To do this, I create installations, videos and digital interactive works that reveal relationships between objects that belong to different systems. I try to make the invisible visible, as someone said.
