AB Playlist 070 Part 2

Fairly simple song I wrote quite quickly (quickly for me anyway) with added attempted enlivening of final chorus by means of cod-orchestrals. 
---

I want another cup of coffee but I've had too much already
I get caught up in the details and then I feel a bit unsteady
So I'm staring through the window at the people out at lunchtime
In the sunshine

I dreamt I went to heaven on the train
Oh they've got canapes and badges where you write your name and I
Sat next to an angel
We got into conversation
I got caught up in the details
And I missed my destination

I thought I knew just what I wanted but I did not know my nature
You get caught up in the details and then it's five years later
And when you told me that you loved me well I know at first you meant it
(I know you really meant it)

[Repeat chorus]

Can't be ordinary and also extraordinary
I'm tying not to be someone who's going to let you down

[Repeat first verse]

Think I'm gonna go out in the sunshine

[Repeat chorus]

Caught Up In The Details

This piece of piano was created on "A Sunday in November" - a very open title which maybe enables you let flow your own, personal thoughts. I hope you enjoy :-) As the titel indicates it´s still a rough draft, means not professional recorded. I hope it will follow next year! ;-)

A Sunday in November (rough draft)

Enchanted Sky

Like iridescent clouds connecting the sides of a deep valley in the mountains, musical notes and phrases that Resonate like thoughts and feelings can bridge the Unfathomable Dimensions of this Wondrous Universe. 
We just need to Slow Down... and take the first step.

Inter-Dimensional Flow

I saw a recent documentary about The Salton Sea. It is a remarkable place and an interesting story.

The Salton Sea

Come on kids you're going on a trip
A trip with Gran and me
Pack your swimming clothes
Your buckets and spades
We'll have fun I guarantee

Jump in the car, strap yourselves in tight
We'll have a jumpin' jamboree
Where we going Gramps, is it somewhere nice?
Are we going to Hawaii

No somewhere better, 
Where Gran and I met
We're going to the Salton Sea 

We're all going
We're all going
Swimming in the Salton Sea

Where are we going
Where are we going
We're going to the Salton Sea


Tell me Gramps, what's that funny smell 
It's horrible, phewee
Look there's a chair in the sand
and some rusty boats
Is this the Salton Sea?

Don't look miserable Gramps
It's very nice
I'm glad you brought us to see

Where Gran and you met
That's the best place on earth
and where I wanna be

The Salton Sea

I'm excited to share my first song with live recorded violins and cello, thanks to the extremely talented duo at String Fever Studio.  

"The Music Box & Other Stories" is a poignant nod to my childhood and my mother's music box, which played "Waves of the Danube," and which I found completely mesmerizing.  That was my first realization that every song had a story to tell, and instilled a longing in me to tell my own musical tales.

Lyrics:

Someday I'll be weightless
I'll be waterfalls and mountain ranges
Someday I won't be afraid to leave this space that we made

I remember what she said, everything is relative
I believe we'll meet again, I believe in everything

And in some way we'll stay
Like fault-lines and I
I don't really mind

Cause now I know this is how it goes
Round and round 'til something blows
You didn't believe me when I told you though
That often in the night I fuss and fight
And find that nothing's right
So I will fold the words and open up my eyes
And I'll look outside more
And I'll talk with strangers 
And I'll tell their stories
And I'll paint their faces 
I'll be everything you want
Everything you need
Just hold onto that thought

Everything you want 
Everything you need
Hold onto that thought

[I remember what she said, everything is relative
I believe we'll meet again, I believe in everything
I believe in animals, mythical and magical
I believe in stupid dreams, angels and Hesperides]

Hesperides

WATCHING YOU

Sad, sad, sad Saturday night song.. or is it? Choose how you understand the final line...

Note: I hereby acknowledge that on the same theme, Brel's "Orly" is a million times better than this. At least...

Music, lyrics, guitar and vocals: Yann Vienne

We're sitting on a bench, the sun is shining high,
You take my hand and clench it, something's about to die,

Summer's in the air, you're all I need to know,
I feel a fright, I feel a scare, I'll have to let you go...

Guess I can see the train, so we've run out of time,
I'm looking at a stain, oh, should I toss a dime?

You say it won't be long, only a year or so,
Why do I hum this song, why do I have to go?

I'm drowning in the stream, I should take you away,
Maybe it's all a dream: I'm gonna wake up, hey?

You kiss my face and smile, say I love you and rise,
The girl at the turnstile with kaleidoscopic eyes,

I guess it must be you, about to turn away... 
I guess it must be you, about to turn away... 

You kiss my face and smile, say I love you and rise,
The girl at the turnstile (with) kaleidoscopic eyes,

I guess it must be you, about to turn away,
I guess it must be you... that's decided to stay...

I Guess It Must Be You - Open for collaboration

"It is a great pleasure for me to do a new piece with Justin, here we have fun trying to musically represent some moments of play and relaxation in a snowy park, with a melancholy and wintery tinge; I hope you have fun listening too..."

When we started this collaboration, like everyone on this planet, we were hit by the pandemic and the effects on our lives.  Earth stopped for a moment and we could feel her heartbeat ...and with it the will to overcome anything!

Lorsque nous avons commencé cette collaboration, comme tout le monde sur cette planète, on a été frappé par la pandémie est tout ce que ça a changé dans nos vies. La Terre s'est arrêtée pendant un moment et on pouvait ressentir son battement de coeur....et avec lui la volonté de tout surmonter!

Inspiration of the moment.
Thank you all for your always faithful support.

In a Mirror

My emotions have been all over the place……like most people I guess. Always trying to see the best out of it, but struggling at times.  All this controversy about the virus. Trying to adapt and go with the flow. 
Anyway, today and the last few days have been glorious…..so warm and sunny. Looking at this bright blue sky cheers me up and gives me hope. So, enough dark thoughts, enough dark days.
I thought I’d produce a new track full of happiness and spring energy. Have a beautiful day. Love to all. Copyright protected ©
