With gratitude and respect to Kohei Uchimura, who is retiring.

This song was inspired by Kohei Uchimura who is a gymnastics athlete at Tokyo 2020 Olympic.
But maybe you can sing this for your hero, for your friends, for your lovers, for your parents….
Whatever it is, this is a song of gratitude and respect for the person you admire.

[Lyrics]

Cause I Saw You Were There

Do you know why I could come here?
Do you know what made me to come here?
It’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.
Yes, it’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.

引退される内村航平選手へ、感謝と敬意をこめて。

体操の内村航平選手の東京オリンピックを見て、この曲が生まれました。
でもたぶんこの曲は、あなたのヒーローのため、あなたの友人のため、あなたの恋人のため、あなたの両親のための曲でもあります…。
それが何であれ、あなたの憧れの人への感謝と敬意を歌ったものです。

[歌詞]

僕がなぜここに来ることが出来たのか知っていますか？
何が僕をここに連れて来たのか知っていますか？
あなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいた。
そう、それはあなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいました。

Cause I Saw You Were There

Autumn

This is the second track of an instrumental project I've entitled "It's All Greek to Me", as I explore the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.

I'm using Ancient Greek instruments featured in the 'Ancient Worlds VST Library from Big Fish Audio', underpinned with classical orchestral instruments. There are some very interesting sounds in it that do seem to evoke a time long ago.

Background

According to Greek mythology, Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Despite modern iconography depicting the Sirens as mermaids, early Greek art depicted them as part woman, part bird.

For this piece a Greek galley is introduced with a steady drum pulse and some Greek instruments to set the scene. We start with the Pan Flute supported by the Strings (Lyre and Kithara). Cymbal rolls represent the waves. The melody then passes to the Flogera and Alto Flute and a lone Siren voice before all three make an appearance. From then on they all act in counterpoint to each other. 

As the Sirens continue to charm the sailors, the Samvyke is introduced (another stringed instrument) as a sort of controlled tension that slowly gets a bit more frantic as the track starts to build. French Horns and Percussion herald the full fury of the Sirens unleashed on the luckless sailors. Helpless to resist, their boat is dashed upon the rocks. 

As the ship begins to break up on the rocky shore the track goes much smaller with a mournful solo cello, supported by the other strings. I wanted a melancholic ending  and the descending figure is supposed to represent the sinking of the boat alongside an almost funeral drum pulse, it just leads down and down into the depths of the sea. More lives have been lost to this peril of the ancient world.
