Sounds really great, the ambience is so good, keep it up!

ABOUT

This track has been on the back burner for a (very!) long time and started out as an outline composition in support of a short film, about a reincarnated witch.   As it turned out the film didn’t happen, but the song continued to evolve, and somewhere along the way got renamed to Selene!

It’s a song about two women, separated across time, and could follow several different themes: haunting, possession, reincarnation or perhaps love.. I'll leave you to decide..It touches on separation and isolation, the power of connections and perhaps a life rebuilt, for both the songs characters.

I’ve been very fortunate to be ably assisted in creating this track, by two fantastic pro musicians; Glenn Welman, on drums, and an absolute POWERHOUSE soprano vocal performance from Marion Schneider (Mioune) Without their talent, innovation and, in Marion’s case, a ton of advice, Selene would not be the track it is!  Thanks should also go to Joseph, at JREL Music Studio, Oklahoma City, whose mastering skills put the finishing touches to a track that I really am pleased with!  Thanks a million guys! 

Selene, Music and Lyrics:   Goff Johnson

Lyrics

Verse 1: woman

In the quiet of the night,
Something stirs the wind
The silence isn’t right, I don’t know where
There’s some-thing lost inside,
 
Verse 2: Ghost 

I was a sigh behind the moon
A darker shade of night
A story ended far too soon, and far from sight 
But longing for the light 
 
Pre-Chorus: woman

I’m filled with questions with no answers
A masquerade without a dancer
 
Chorus: Ghost

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light
 
Verse 3 (duet)

There’s a truth to be revealed
Through shadows and through time
Throughout the counting of the years 
Our stories will entwine
You’ll be my voice, I’ll be your flame  

Pre-chorus 2 : both

The veil is torn, all doubts are gone
our souls are joined, our names are one
 
Chorus: both 

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light 
 
Middle Section : Ghost  

I thought I’d never be complete
A will without a form
You’re the spell I couldn’t speak
I’m the storm you’ve always worn 
                      
Final Chorus: both

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light 
 
Outro Chorus (quiet reprise)

Tonight — wake within my dream (ghost)
Reach for the light (woman)

Selene

Inspired by Stranger Things and my daughter’s enthusiasm for it, I’ve reimagined one of my guitar tracks as an atmospheric ’80s electronic homage.

Funny Looking Flowers [11.03.25]

 Perdona

Cuando soñaba mirando al mar,
en aquella playa desierta,
ausente por completo del lugar,
pues mi mente no estaba despierta,
vi una figura en lontananza
que poco a poco se acercaba
a donde yo me encontraba:
me puse en pie, te reconocí 
y eché a correr hacia ti.

Estribillo

Perdona, lo siento,
Te dije ansioso
Tranquilo, lo entiendo,
Estabas nervioso.
Cuántos poderosos lazos
se rompieron sin razón,
pero al fin hicimos caso
a la voz del corazón.
------------------
Las suaves olas besaban la piel
la arena acariciaba
con un suave masaje nuestros pies
y la brisa nos mimaba la cara
en un paseo maravilloso
donde hablamos ya sin enojo,
sin rastro de malos rollos,
de evitar cualquier sinvivir
que nos haga volver a decir.

Estribillo

Forgive Me

When I dreamed, gazing at the sea,
on that deserted beach,
completely absent from the place,
for my mind was not awake,
I saw a figure in the distance
that slowly approached
where I stood:
I stood up, recognized you
and ran towards you.

Chorus

Forgive me, I'm sorry,
I told you anxiously.
Relax, I understand,
You were nervous.

How many powerful bonds
were broken for no reason,
but in the end we listened
to the voice of our hearts.

----------------

The gentle waves kissed our skin,
the sand caressed
our feet with a soft massage,
and the breeze pampered our faces
on a wonderful walk
where we spoke without anger,
without a trace of bad feelings,
avoiding any unease
that would make us say it again.

Chorus

Perdona

Audio from my youtube vid. These etudes are a joy and challange to learn and perform 🎶😊🐸.

In My Mind

the kingdom's anthem

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 ...
