"Blue Dolphin" is a song written by New York pianist Stephen Schlaks and released in 1975. 
From the moment of its release and throughout the 80s, it was an extraordinary worldwide success.
Since I've practically always played it and am very attached to it, I thought to re-propose it in a more current piano style.
It was not easy to give it a new identity because the original version, faster and supported by other instruments, kept the listener's attention by alternating the theme from time to time between the strings, the piano, and the choirs.
I hope you enjoy it.

Time Is Now

This soundscape gently welcomes you into the heart of fall, where the fresh chill of the season meets the comforting warmth of a distant fire. As you listen, you'll feel the light, breezy tones that mirror the crispness of the air, gradually giving way to the subtle crackling of wood, like the faint scent of smoke drifting on a cool breeze. Each layer of sound wraps around you, blending the invigorating freshness of autumn mornings with the cozy calm of a warm fire. Close your eyes, breathe deep, and let this track transport you to a golden forest, where the season's essence comes alive in the perfect balance of warmth and coolness. Let it be your soundtrack for quiet reflection, peaceful walks, or moments of simple, mindful relaxation.

crisp autumn air, laced with wood smoke

Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Foreman
Vocals and Piano performed by Layna Claunch

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When you feel like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

I give you my destiny
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back

And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Only Hope

the way I feel when I see you

Return

Wishing you all a Wonderful, Magical and Merry Christmas and a New Year. I hope that this time is a festive and loving one :-) At times like these, however, it can be good to remember those who are alone on such a magical day as Christmas and New Years; to try and understand what it may be like;…. and for those who are feeling alone, to remember - that you don't have to feel alone. 

We are, in the main, relatively social creatures. We need each other. Unfortunately, this season has been a particularly difficult time, with 3 admissions to hospital and losing so much. My heart broke and all I could and can do, just for now, is to move from 'moment' to 'moment', hoping that one of these moments will be relatively 'ok' and that such moments will become more frequent and longer-lasting. Hope is all I have and hope is what it is all about in trying to give life meaning. I have also thought of, and missed so many of you and the music. Now it is time for a brief rest …..

SERIES BACKGROUND:
Over the last 3 years on SoundCloud, I have been creating a series of 'Lonely Seasons' improvisations/compositions - As noted on the Lonely Seasons No.I track:

I have memories of wonderful Christmases as a child, with real Xmas trees. There was a beautiful smell of fresh pine leaves, and the rooms were brightened with gorgeous decorations, pink marzipan sugar mice spread around the house, and the air filled with the magical anticipation of Xmas Eve, waiting to jump up onto one's parent's bed, …. its XMAS TIME!! :-)

 Its different now, and I see the decorations, in other places, the beautiful and bright colours, sounds and smells, all that it represents, I hear of people's Xmas plans and family and friends, I hear of stress, I hear of joy and anticipation, especially families with children - such wonders. Yet often we can forget that there are many people that do not have this joy, where the Xmas spirit seems to be for 'others'. So many lonely and/or unwell people, wishing to be a part of things, but unable to, for various reasons. 

Xmas can also bring back painful memories one just doesn't want to remember, and while the 'anticipation' of Xmas is still there, the actual day can be very lonely and sad. Thus, this song [and now series] was created - 'Lonely Seasons' - in dedication to, and to remember and think of those who are alone on Xmas and New Year. 

Yes, it is sad. at a time when there should be joy, but it is not mean't to be ……….. … for there is always hope that things will change and the magic of Christmas and better lives will return, and it will always stay in our memories. 

There are so many out there who are alone on these festive days. If you are one, try to remember, in simply knowing this, that you are not alone and you can try to make these days the best that you can. Enjoy the smallest of things, buy some 'xmasy' food, some cold ham, turkey and cranberry sauce, maybe even some cherries. Dress for the day or just lounge around in your PJ's :-) Play some music; walk the cat! Walk along the beach's edge at sunset (if in aussie land and its summer!), or build a snow person. Play in the dirt and garden and feel the spirit in the air

 Make these days YOUR days and be kind to yourself and become your own best friend/
 Merry Christmas everyone and a wonderful New Year in 2016 <3

Lonely Seasons No. III - Megs McCarthy

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.
