Pretend Life

'imprvisioned' 
another sleepless night that led to something live on my phone.

I can't imagine a world without you,
so now I know exactly what you felt
when you watched your folks a-growin'
beyond ages unbeknown
and inevitably faced the card we're dealt.

That we all live for dyin'; always trumps our best at tryin'
to cheat aging through fad diets and regimes.
But, I'm no longer lyin' to myself, and quite compliant, 
with defiant habits that will soon kill me.

Because without being with them, I'll have lost all of their wisdom 
of which typically flew right over my head.
And I wish I could've listened and embraced their larger vision, yet now I'm just wishin' I was the one dead.


imprvisioned

Music inspired by Arthurian legends and Avalon. According to legend, Arthur would one day return to Britain to lead again when he is most needed. Arthur was taken to the isle of Avalon to be healed from his mortal wound following the Battle of Camlann, to eventually awaken and rule again. Hence the myth "Once and Future King".

Once and Future King

This piece is about recognition and maybe also a bit about loss, losing things in all different ways. Maybe you can give more description to this piece, what it does for you..... Hope you enjoy!

Pour toujours,
L'espoir d'aimer longtemps
D'aimer chaque jour davantage
Et quand je te dirai "pour toujours"
Ne fais rien qui dissipe ce songe

L'espoir d'aimer longtemps

𝄞:♫⋆｡ ♪₊˚♬ﾟ.🎻Je vous invite à un 4e voyage, plus court que les précédents, en 3 tableaux à la fois proches et éloignés, une association de sons avec une approche jazzy.⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ Le voyage oscille entre la douceur de la rencontre, les joies partagées et la nécessaire séparation, qui n'est pas une fin. J'espère que vous prendrez du plaisir à l'écouter autant que j'ai pris du plaisir à y travailler.✨
𝄞:♫⋆｡ ♪₊˚♬ﾟ.🎻I invite you on a fourth journey, shorter than the previous ones, in three scenes that feel both close and distant, a blend of sounds with a jazzy touch.⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ The journey moves between the sweetness of a meeting, shared joys, and a necessary goodbye that is not an ending. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.✨

Le 4e voyage (Instrumental)

" Praise ye the Lord" is an Air form Georg Friedrich Handel's oratorio "Solomon", written in 1748.
