I just don’t know
What is it that you bring to this.
I just don’t know
What is it that I offer.

If we could answer 
questions just like these.
I just can’t see
What is it that we offer…

All we are 
Is all that we can be…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl
When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl

All we are 
Is all that we can be…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl

I just don’t know
What is it that you bring to this.
I just don’t know
What is it that I offer.

If we could answer 
questions just like these.
I just can’t see
What is it that we offer…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl….. 
All We Are Is All That We Can Be
All We Are Is All That We Can Be
Repeat and reach for the stars

Parallel Vacation -  Soft & Chill version (Steen/Conover)

Free as a bird, 
it's the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry, 
like a homing bird I'll fly 
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to 
the lives that we once knew? r 
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch 
that seemed to mean so much? 
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird, 
like the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry, 
like a homing bird I'll fly 
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to 
the life that we once knew? 
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird. 
Free as a bird. 
Fly my friend...... Fly

When I was a boy, I had a dream, all about the things I'd like to be
Soon as I was in my bed, music played inside my head
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I learned to play, far into the night and drift away
Don't want to work on the milk or the bread, I just want to play that music in my head.
When I was a young boy, I had a dream

And radio waves, kept me company
In those beautiful days, when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I had a dream, finding out what life could really mean
Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy, just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
When I was a boy, I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days, when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy

When I Was A Boy -ELO  (Cover by Conover/Steen)

They're saying no 
She's no kind of girl for you
As big as the ocean is blue
That lifeboat was never built for two

She's just the girl for me
She's just the girl for me you'll see, 
you'll see

Now you can turn and face the Pyrenees
Or you can scream and drop to your knees.
But that's not gonna change a thing for me and you,
That will remain the same.
That will stay the same.

They're saying no 
She's no kind of girl for you
As big as the ocean is blue
That lifeboat was never built for two

How long has this been going on?
How long? 
How long will this take baby.
How long must we wait baby.

Now you can turn and face the Pyrenees
Or you can scream and drop to your knees.
But that's not gonna change a thing for me and you,
That will remain the same.
That will stay the same.

How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long will this take baby.
How long must we wait baby.

How Long (Conover/Steen)

Just like any other day, this one was the same.
Just another mess around day.
Just another wasted
I should have taken hold of the chances laid before me.
Afraid if I could fly
Afraid if I would crash and fall

I just want to say
Doesn't change a thing anyway
I just want another chance
To live my life again

Always knew the day would come
When I would have to say
Now there's nowhere left to run
And I can see no way

Just like any other day, this one was the same.
Just another mess around day.
Just another wasted day

Here we go

I just want another chance
To live my life again
I just want another chance
To live my life again

Life:
Live it like it mattered

To live my life again -Steen Mix (Conover/Steen/Wiggs)

Welcome to a new song from Euphoriqa featuring Colin Powell & Claes Steen called Rainbow Symphony.

When Claes send his new song to John, immediately John played with piano a melody to it, and reconstructed the song and made it longer. then send it too Colin, he added drums, bass and guitars to it, and wrote lyrics and recorded samples so for John to consider, he made a new mix, and he send it to Hemmo, so he could re-record all vocals and harmonies.
When Hemmo send his vocal tracks to John, it appeared that the song needed more lyrics, so Colin adjusted the lyrics to the way Hemmo was singing the song, so Hemmo could record it all over again, due to this process, John and Colin had to re-record their backing vocals as well.
When all vocal tracks were done, it appeared that the original drums, bass and guitars needed to be adjusted as well, so the song has now drums, bass and guitars played by Hemmo and Colin.
When everything was mixed, the orchestral instruments needed to be adjusted so it would sound in perfect harmony with all added instruments & vocals, then in the final stage John and Hemmo added some extra accent / additions to make it sound the way we all wanted it to be.

 RAINBOW SYMPHONY – Lyrics by Colin Powell ©2017 
Back in time, when you were young 
And didn’t have a care 
Look inside, I know you’ll find 
The real you is there! 
Open up your heart 
And just be who you are 
Don’t be afraid 
You can reach up to the stars! 
When the morning dawn is breaking 
It’s the start of a brand new day 
Put your troubles far behind you 
It’s a brand new start today 
It’s a brand new day! 
Glowing with glorious colors inside 
Open your eyes to it all… 
Take a look around 
And savour all you see 
Listen to the sounds 
It’s a Rainbow Symphony! 
Follow you dream and keep love in your sights 
Open you heart to it all 
Living your life as it was meant to be 
Everything will be OK 
Do you realize 
You’re greater than you know? 
Just take a breath 
And let your love light grow! 
When the world you know is crumbling 
When your life just grinds you down 
There’s another world around you 
There’s a secret deep inside 
There’s a better world 
Go deep into your mind 
There’s another place 
Where everything’s in a perfect state 
The earth’s illusions fall away 
You and I will move on 
In a world that’s full of rainbows 
Underneath the sun
Take a look around / and savour all you see / listen to the sound, it’s a Rainbow Symphony!

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean
I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you

Dancing in the street (Steen/F. Kawaciw)

Cold, cold was the morning
I saw you dancing, dancing in the street
Cold, cold was the morning
I saw you dancing, dancing in the street

Your feet. Your hands. Your legs. Your face.

Like a golden crime
In a foggy light
Showing everyone
That you're alive

Cold, cold was the morning
I saw you dancing, dancing in the street
Cold, cold was the morning
I saw you dancing, dancing in the street
I saw you dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing

The wind. The crowd. The cars. The lights.

Like a golden crime
In a foggy light
Showing everyone
That you're alive

Dance. Dance. Dance.

Cold, cold was the morning
I saw you dancing, dancing in the street
I saw you dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
I saw you dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing

Toutes les routes
................................
Je voudrais, je voudrais
Connaître cette histoire
Où tu reviens, où tu reviens
Du pays des étoiles

Je voudrais, je voudrais
Te savoir quelque part
Savoir le feu brûlant encore
Dans son âtre de pierre

C'est sans doute un rêve
Impossible à faire
Mais qu'importent les couloirs, les frontières
Je tairai ces doutes que tu as laissés
Je suivrai les routes que tu as tracées

Je voudrais, je voudrais
Traverser le miroir
Pour voir le monde, pour voir le monde
Du côté de l'espoir

Mais chaque heure, oui chaque heure
Le vide prend mes bras
Et sans repère, et sans repère
Je traverse l'hiver

C'est sans doute un rêve
Impossible à faire
Mais qu'importent les couloirs, les frontières
Je tairai ces doutes que tu as laissés
Je suivrai les routes que tu as tracées

C'est sans doute un rêve
Impossible à faire
Mais qu'importent les couloirs, les frontières
Je tairai ces doutes que tu as laissés
Je suivrai les routes que tu as tracées

Toutes les routes, toutes les routes
Que tu as tracées dans l'espace
Je suivrai
Je suivrai

Je voudrais, je voudrais
Croire à cette histoire
Mais qu'il est loin, mais qu'il est loin
Le pays des étoiles

C'est sans doute un rêve
Impossible à faire
Mais qu'importent les couloirs, les frontières
Je tairai ces doutes que tu as laissés
Je suivrai les routes que tu as tracées

C'est sans doute un rêve
Impossible à faire
Mais qu'importent les couloirs, les frontières
Je tairai ces doutes que tu as laissés
Je suivrai les routes que tu as tracées

All roads
................
I would like, I would like
Know this story
Where you come back, where you come back
From the land of stars

I would like, I would like
Know you somewhere
Know the burning fire again
In his stone hearth

It's probably a dream
Impossible to do
But what does the corridors, the borders
I will keep these doubts that you left
I will follow the roads you have drawn

I would like, I would like
Cross the mirror
To see the world, to see the world
On the side of hope

But every hour, yes every hour
The emptiness takes my arms
And without a marker, and without a marker
I'm going through the winter

It's probably a dream
Impossible to do
But what does the corridors, the borders
I will keep these doubts that you left
I will follow the roads you have drawn

It's probably a dream
Impossible to do
But what does the corridors, the borders
I will keep these doubts that you left
I will follow the roads you have drawn

All roads, all roads
What you have drawn in space
I will follow
I will follow

I would like, I would like
Believe in this story
But how far he is, but how far away he is
The land of stars

It's probably a dream
Impossible to do
But what does the corridors, the borders
I will keep these doubts that you left
I will follow the roads you have drawn

It's probably a dream
Impossible to do
But what does the corridors, the borders
I will keep these doubts that you left
I will follow the roads you have drawn

Humiliations, infatuations, all for lack of self-control
The creation of your damnation cause everyone wants to be famous

Everyone wants to be famous

The sun still shines 
.............................................................................................
I don’t understand,
Why you’re not here anymore…
….Although the Sun is.
My head in the sand,
As you walked right out through that door.

You tell me that we’re no good,
I didn’t notice the signs
I want the weather to match my mood
Yet the Sun still shines

I ought to have seen,
Storms that were heading my way… 
….Forecast was fair though.
How blind I have been,
With no hope of making you stay.

I never do what I should,
Always forgot Valentines
I want the weather to match my mood
Yet the Sun still shines

Now it feels like it’s raining
But only on my face. 
No point in me complaining, 
Left in disgrace.

I can’t comprehend,
Where I went wrong this time?…
….Though there were some clues. 
Don’t say it’s the end,
Please let me atone for my crime.

You tell me that we’re no good,
I didn’t notice the signs
I want the weather to match my mood
Yet the Sun still shines

I never do what I should,
Always forgot Valentines
I want the weather to match my mood
Yet the Sun still shines

Lyrics&Vocalised by Sar Araion (@sararaion)

You look at it; 
yourself as if it was it,
yourself as it - a self.
Yes, you’re careful
of how you look,
not too estranged,
as you really are.

Yes, you bend over
backwards, hoping
to find a portrait
of yourself, in the skies …
Yes, always looking,
«Where is it! Where is me right now?»

God, you’re handsome,
and you think, not so vain(?).
A question is, of course,
rhethorical, so why
would you bother, 
when nobody asked …

But what about inner beauty,
and the hauntings
of Dorian Grey?
Aestethics goes only
to a certain point,
and then you’re left
over the Abyss ::

Maybe with a fair chance.
You will, learn from it,
either you want it or not.

Can you go through 
the ceiling …(?)
Would you like 
to bring down the stars?

Not so vain (Araion/Steen)

HAPPY
lyrics by Sar Araion

Follow the energy of life,
you will discover
that it’s always seeking
the best of what you might become.
You stand a chance
to be happy, not being another
but yourself, and glad
you’re on your own.

Take a deep breath, and enjoy …
Smile like never before.
Look in the mirror,
and welcome everyday.

Don’t get out of touch!
Be your self
and feel happy for awhile.
Cos you need to come out
and show the world
what you’ve been working on
- something, most beautiful …

Look ahead, it’s coming
just around the corner,
that lucky strike,
it’s your magic blow.
You, the ridgepole, the pillar,
as no other, can figure out
what’s to show.

Happy, tranquility and zest for life.

Happy (Araion/Steen - original)

This is a song I composed with infuences from the early works from mr Burt Bacharach from the sixties...

TRAVIS CORNER 1964
----------------------------------------------------------
Just up the path was
Travis corner
Fully replete with cakes and treats
All we needed was air
All we wanted was sunshine
Where is the sunshine
I fell in love with you that fall.
And all you wanted was Paul on your lunchbox
Paul on your notebook too
George and Ringo add nothing to your world
and John was acting a bore
In 1964
Just up the path was
Travis corner
That was the center of our world
All we needed was freedom
And we're all waiting for sunshine
Where is the sunshine
I fell in love with you that fall
and all you wanted was Paul
George and Ringo add nothing to your world
and John was acting a bore
Yes John was acting a boy
In 1964

Do you remember? Do you.........
