“Sweet friendships refresh the soul and awaken our hearts with joy…” Proverbs 27:9 (TPT version)

"May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam." - Irish Proverb

In addition to my family, the greatest riches in life are my circle of close, faithful friends.  Some of these friends are a part of my daily life; others are friends that I may not see very often but when I do, it’s like we’ve never been apart.  

Friends make life sweeter and also help cushion the blows when life gets hard. Thinking today about the strength, joy, and inspiration that comes from all cherished, faithful friends, and grateful for them all.

Faithful Friends

This is the short version of "Rise and Fall", a re-score for the shortfilm "The Rise and Fall of Globosome"

Till the End

The firstborn of the Father
Gave up his precious life
That we from earth might rise above
To join him by his side     
   
He is our holy Father
He is the life of man
He is the light eternal    
He is the Son of Man

He came from heaven high above
To live a mortal man
He showed us how to live below   
And proved to us we can

He is our holy Father
He is the life of man
He is the light eternal
He is the Son of Man

He conquered over death and hell
He carried sin’s full price
He died for us and rose again    
The greatest sacrifice

He is our holy Father
He is the life of man
He is the light eternal
He is the Son of Man

He came to show his holy ways
He came to give his life
That we like him might then become
And gain eternal life

He is our holy Father
He is the life of man
He is the light eternal
He is the Son of Man

He is our holy Father
He is the life of man
He is the light eternal
He is the Son of Man

Peter`s own words :
"I am blessed with a treasured friend whose name is Sue.

Sue is the very embodiment of humanity. Kind, selfless, giving, loving, unassuming, warm, smiling, understanding. Were you lucky enough ever to meet Sue, you’d never know that she carries a heavy burden carefully, and gently tucked away in a very private place within her heart.

This song is for Sue, and all mothers who, like her, have lost a son in the most tragic of circumstances, with no opportunity to help, hold, comfort or say goodbye."

Solace


When first you nestled in my arms and my eyes met with yours

A bonding fused in love, that could never be undone.

Sheltered you from harm as childhood lightly ran its course

Giving thanks to God above for the blessing you’d become.



Of your blossoming maturity I watched with glowing pride

Reaching for your touch to find that now we’re worlds apart,

Stolen by fate’s cruelty, that wrenches yet inside

Ever present in my mind, forever in my heart



As angels wrapped in heaven, soon our eyes shall meet and then

In the sanctity of peace we’ll find solace once again.



And now I live by memory tides that flood tomorrow’s shore

Your image resting in my palm, lifts my spirit gently, where,

The strongest, warmest love abides and shall do evermore

A love bestowing soothing calm upon my silent prayer.



Though the space between is wide as the celestial abyss

I keep a special place aside, from which I promise only this

As angels wrapped in heaven, soon our eyes shall meet and then

In the sanctity of peace we’ll find solace once again.

Solace. 1234567890. Oddrun Eikli.

Some years ago I had posted this piece, some of you might remember it.... and to my surprise just recently Benjamin Rößler (YurOb) has let me listen to what he had done with it....
I hope you will like listening to it as much as I do….

A Quiet Moment

A Quiet Moment (feat. Fr. Harris)

From the rerelease of Newer Unknown Breeds. OUT NOW :

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/newer-unknown-breeds-expanded-edition

"Newer Unknown Breeds" was at the time a further development in sound for Blink Twice. The album expanded on the techno and electro genre much more than Blink Twice's debut "Other Locations". There was an increase usage of sampling on this collection of material, often with looped effects incorporated to add further density. With the blend of tribal and industrial elements remaining, it serves as an adventurous concoction of experimental rhythmic and darker ambient electronic music.

The underlying theme of "Newer Unknown Breeds" was the observance of mutations (both deliberate and natural) within organisms. Evolutionary results of obscure creatures and their advancement and place in the biological field.

TITLE: WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR DINNER?
____________________________________________________________________
LYRICS: 
(Verse 1)
You sit in silence the TV glows
I’m a stranger you don’t even know
Your words are walls that I can't climb
Love’s not built on borrowed time

(Chorus)
What do you want for dinner you ask
As if that’s the heart of every task
But my soul’s starving can’t you see
I need more than your recipe

(Verse 2)
Your eyes don’t meet mine they just drift
Every moment feels like a rift
I’ve given chances I've stayed too long
But silence can’t write our love song

(Chorus)
What do you want for dinner you say
As if that’s how we’ll end the day
But I need words that dig down deep
Not this surface where we barely speak

(Bridge)
I’ve built a castle on quicksand dreams
Held my breath to avoid the screams
But I can’t live on crumbs of care
When there’s no love left to share

[Chorus]
What do you want for dinner again
But this is where the chapter ends
I’m walking out to find my voice
This time I’m making my own choice
(Outro)
There's no reminiscing, no touching, no emotions, no connection. Everyday has become a dying in living. Love doesn't make you feel like toilet paper--A once used item now flushed with each tear. Can't wait any longer; There's no care.

This Time I Choose

it was everything

I make music because it is where I let go of the have-to’s, and become part of something larger than myself. The language I speak on the keyboard when I improvise expresses a part of me that only comes out there at the moment of creation - when I’m fully connected and in the flow. In those moments when I disappear in the music, those are where I’m most fully alive. The musical question I pose to myself when I play is largely this: how can I release my inhibitions and let go of patterns sufficient to bring something entirely new, unexpected, and enlightening into the world, with structure, precision, clarity, and depth of expression. These pieces are meditations that are of me, but more precisely, they come through me. When I’m in the flow, I’m channeling the energy and only moderately directing it. The challenge is to be open to take risks while maintaining a structure, melody, and tempo that makes it interesting and satisfying enough to keep listening. I keep doing this nightly because it’s a language, because it’s a connection to something greater than myself, and because it’s very very relaxing.
