Oh goodness, that is SO beautiful.... both Kocosaur's piano and your orchestral arrangment. Lost for words!

🦋 This orchestral version is absolutely stunning — it lifts Butterfly into something cinematic and emotional. I love how the strings swell and give it a whole new depth, yet still keep the spirit of the original alive. Beautiful work. 💜🎻✨

Delightful.....full of fancy and fantasy.   Reminds of the stuff i was listening to in the early 80s before New Age became super commercial.

Paroles / Lyrics :

Je n'ai pas osé
sur tes lèvres déposer 
le plus doux des baisers
je n'ai pas osé
t'embarrasser

Je  n'ai pas osé
tendrement t'enlacer
réchauffer tes mains glacées
je n'ai pas osé
de peur de te tracasser 

Je n'ai pas osé
à ton cou me pendre
t'attirer dans mes méandres
je n'ai pas osé 
t'embrasser

Je n'ai pas osé

Je n'ai pas osé [Levitan and Lukowig]

Reckoning of the First Kind

The part that sounds like a bass in the middle section is actually tapping using an 8-string guitar. Naturally, no bass was used at all for this part. Lately, I've been exploring the potential of the lower strings, and tapping and slapping are part of that. Regarding the song's theme, I've been deeply contemplating the grandeur of the universe and humanity recently, and I composed this piece wanting to express that atmosphere through my guitar. I'd be delighted if you could feel a sense of floating and light-like speed within the song. Finally, thank you so much for reading this far. I think you're truly wonderful!

Here we go with the start of a new epic… This time we travel back to the days of Merlin and tell his tale, the tale of his life outside of King Arthur… The life you probably know very little about. So please sit back and enjoy as we tell his story over the next 6 songs. We begin with “The Great Sorcerer” himself.

1. The Great Sorcerer:

See that mist, where dragons live
How can someone see so many tomorrows?

In the shadows
Staff in his hand
Shapeshifting to beasts of earth
Creating myths of our once reigning kingdom
Creating myths of the weakness
And the greatness of men.

And we still hear
Look at all there’s to learn
Science, Science,
The only purity there is

Born at the wrong end of time
Living backwards from in front
We can’t forget he told our unparalleled King
Power of mind’s not enough,
Power of the body decides

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

Earthly, supernatural

Knowledge, the mastership to change fate
What a double-edged sword
Reveling in results of his power
Disregarding the harm

Teaching esoteric
Incantations and spells
To the Lady of the Lake
And in time you know he surrenders to her
He could protect fools from themselves
Couldn’t protect himself from himself.

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

We still mourn how easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

We still mourn how he easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

Kocosaur (https://soundcloud.com/kocosaur) creates wonderful original compositions on piano. 
A recent one (https://soundcloud.com/kocosaur/dance-of-the-butterfly) inspired me to do an orchestral arrangement, somehow reflecting the butterfly's erratic flight.

Butterfly

Verso 1

Bendita tentación
Son tus caricias
Profundamente incitación
Que me és delicia

Pre coro

Insisto en que tu piel 
Es droga pura que me ajusticia

Coro 

Deseo que ya caiga el sol
Y estar contigo 
Besarte desde el cuello corazón 
hasta tu ombligo 

Quiero beberme tu sudor y tu figura 
Acariciarte suavemente la cintura 
Quiero tu cuerpo junto al mío sin orgullo 
Introducirme con amor en tu capullo


Verso 2

Dame tu boca amada mía
Que quiero darte fantasía
Sentir tu pecho es mi agonía 
Abrir tus piernas con maestría

Puente 

Qué gran placer estar contigo amada mía 


Coro 

Deseo que ya caiga el sol
Y estar contigo 
Besarte desde el cuello corazón 
hasta tu ombligo 

Quiero beberme tu sudor y tu figura 
Acariciarte suavemente la cintura 
Quiero tu cuerpo junto al mío sin orgullo 
Introducirme con amor en tu capullo

Outro 

Nací para darte placer y  
toda la vidaaa, 
ser tuyo.

Blackrock - Main Theme

As the seasons pass, autumn in Japan is beautiful. The mountains begin to turn red. It seems that a red carpet has been laid out around the temple deep in the mountain.

Look through the eyes of Love, You overlook a lot of things, 
you overlook yesterday. Sometimes it’s just enough
Forgetting all the words we said. Maybe the day will come
There’ll be enough, words we’ve spoken
Nobody ends up bleeding, everybody’s got a reason
This is the place we’re going to.

Meet you halfway there, meet me halfway there

When we all just speak our minds
It’s getting us nowhere
Can’t we just…let it be enough…that’s enough talking

Maybe we’ll blow it up, If we can’t get around ourselves
If we can’t get around it. Maybe it’s just enough
Say everything we need to say. Maybe the day will come
There’ll be enough, words we’ve spoken
Nobody ends up bleeding, everybody’s got a reason
This is the place we’re going to.

Halfway There

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
