Love the mood. Beautiful. Being able to make music that reaches inside is a wonderful feeling - to be able to convey that to another.

Fantastic guitar driven ambience. Listening to this track is like floating in the clouds.

Just beautiful🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸👍🏻

A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a  pleasure to collab.

Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him.

Mimetic Desire

Man is the creature
Man is the creature

„Man is the creature
Who does not know
What to desire,
And he turns to others
In order to make up his mind.“ (2)

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Mimetic desires

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere
A shadow of a hope ?

Let me have it, let me, let me have it
Let me have it, let me, let me have it

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Sparkling, mimetic desires

„We desire 
What others desire
Because we imitate 
Their desires."

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out
A shadow of a hope ?

Man is the creature…
Man is the creature…

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don't let the blindness guide you
Don’t let the darkness blind you…

Evening Blue - Απογευματινό Μπλε

■概要(Overview)
あの日の約束を覚えているかしら？
私は今でも忘れないでいるわ・・
そんな雰囲気の曲です。
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
再びボーカロイドです！
いくつか楽器を入れましたが、いつものように音のバランスに四苦八苦しました(^^;)

Do you remember the promise you made that day?
I still remember...
This song has such an atmosphere.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Vocaloid again!
I put in some instruments, but as usual I struggled with the sound balance (^^;)

■歌詞
「あの日の約束」
忘れられた　花のように
季節の中　生きているわ
多分　あなたはすれ違っても
気が付かないわ

木枯らしの吹く　こんな日は　特に

夢の中で　ソリに乗って　あなたの家に
窓をノック　久しぶりに　乾杯しましょう

大きくなった　あなたを見て
嬉しい気持ちになった

待ちわびてた
あなたの顔を見たかった
今のあなたに贈るプレゼント

それは　忘れていた
小さな約束よ　あなたが昔　願ったこと

「大人になったら　夜空を飛べるようになって　
　僕が一緒にさ　プレゼント　配ってあげる」と言った優しい子


あなたにとって　長い旅の
終着点は　まだ先よ

多分　あなたは　信じようとはしないでしょうね
だけど　すぐに分かるはずよ　おいで

夢の中も　現実でも　どっちでもいいの
ソリに乗って出かけましょう　夜空を飛ぶのよ

トナカイさん：ちょいとお待ちなさいな、おじょうさん
おじょうさん：なにかしら？トナカイさん

トナカイさん：あたしゃまだ寝ていたい　だめかいな？
おじょうさん：悪いけど・・ダメ(^0^)b


街は　ゆりかごなの　あなたのお家の屋根があんなに小さく見える
子供たちは今　夢の中で私たちを待っている
一緒にね　行きましょう　決して覚める事のない夢の中

おじょうさん & トナカイさん：さあ、手を取って

■ lyrics
"The Promise of That Day"
Like a forgotten flower
I'm alive in the season
Maybe you pass me by
you won't notice

Especially on a day like this when the wind blows

In my dreams I ride a sleigh to your house
Knock on the window Let's have a toast after a long time

Look at you who grew up
I feel happy

I've been waiting
i wanted to see your face
gift for you today

That's a small promise you forgot, that's what you wished for long ago

"When you grow up, you'll be able to fly in the night sky, and I'll help you distribute presents with you," said a gentle child.

It's a long journey for you
The end point is still far away

maybe you won't believe
But you should be able to find out soon Come on

Whether it's in a dream or in reality, it doesn't matter
Let's go out on a sled, we'll fly in the night sky

Mr. Reindeer: Wait a minute, dear
Girl: What is it? reindeer

Mr. Reindeer: I still want to sleep Is it no good?
Girl: I'm sorry, but no (^0^)b


The city is a cradle Your roof looks so small
The children are now waiting for us in their dreams
Let's go together, in a dream that never wakes up

Girl & Mr. Reindeer: Come on, take my hand

Happy 2023 everyone. I hope your year is starting off positive, creative and brimming with potentiality. Mine has definitely begun on a high note, getting to collab with our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com/). And after a full year of music lessons with this kind and generous soul, I’m finally feeling quite good about my music theory and piano skills (knowing full well, this is just me happily floating on the tip of the proverbial music theory/musical instrument iceberg). :)

This one in particular (for those of you who might be interested in the specifics) started with Carlos providing an impressively wild drum track, and a warm, rich bass track playing Ostinato in E (I wasn’t familiar with that term at first. But it means playing a singular note rhythm as a foundation for the rest of the song). From there, E Aeolian (or Natural Minor) felt like it provided the nicest fit to Carlos’s stems. I was able to play out many of the melodies you hear in this song with just a few takes, and very minor MIDI note adjustments after the fact. That is exciting beyond words.

So without further delay, I joyfully offer you my first collab of 2023 with one of the coolest folks you’ll find in this grand music community. Carlos and I hope you enjoy ‘The Nine Sentinels of Aeolis’. :)
