Slow Music

This set contains all my collaborations with other soundclouders made in 2013.

Important remark :) Some tracks in this set may contain piano, which is not played by me :) I feel rather uncomfortable when I receive warm comments for the piano, which I can't take credit for, so, please, pay attention to the track description :)

Do You Hear What I Hear - songbird1982

Sind die Lichter angezündet,
Freude zieht in jeden Raum;
Weihnachtsfreude wird verkündet
unter jedem Lichterbaum.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein,
überall, überall soll Freude sein.

Süsse Dinge, schöne Gaben
gehen nun von Hand zu Hand.
Jedes Kind soll Freude haben,
jedes Kind in jedem Land.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein,
überall, überall soll Freude sein.

Sind die Lichter angezündet,
rings ist jeder Raum erhellt;
Weinachtsfriede wird verkündet,
zieht hinaus in alle Welt.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein,
überall, überall soll Friede sein.

Sind Die Lichter Angezündet (Collaboration James Blond/songbird1982)

I recorded this one over a year ago, wouldnt upload here, but now it does :). And since I cant do anything new right now, due to stress and baby preparations, i thought i will have some kind of a musical "throw back thursday". ;) 

Will you still love me tomorrow

You Must Love Me

Madonna-You must love me (acapella)

Peaceful Rain by Doug Roossien   
Sometimes life…is a peaceful rain…
Sometimes love… is wet with pain…
The sun can shine…but the tears still fall…
Why can’t love…be a walk…in the peaceful rain

Where Colors of the rainbow…line this wet and windy night
Cobalt blue and ambers make this moonlit candle light 
Soft rain’s on your shoulder…your head’s here in mine.
Tears are falling down…like love drunk on wine
                   
Why can’t life…be a peaceful rain…
I find love…then it’s gone again…
To save my soul…I just can’t win…                                  
Here comes the rain…I’m getting wet…in the pouring pain


There’s no color in my rainbow…it’s a cold and lonely night
Dark clouds all around me…how can one lone soul survive
 If soft rain’s  on your shoulder…your head’s… not here in mine
Tears are falling down…like love drunk on wine

Our Eyes Danced…words & music by Doug Roossien 2012 

I was going thru the /motions…
 Didn’t want to /play the game that hard…
If it ain’t /love…it’s just /patches on my heart…
 But it’s so /cold…out here /on my own...
I need a /place…/where I’m not alone/ 
You caught my/ eye…you turned my /head around…
I didn’t want to /play it safe no more….
never /heard that song before
/Dance… Cause life’s so /cold…
Don’t want to /be alone…Don’t want to /be alone…

Our eyes /danced…face to /face…
Looking /for a door…where could /come inside 
 /come inside and… /dance…
Cause life’s so /cold…
don’t want to /be alone… 

Your trembling /lips…they don’t …/say a word. 
But they’re /telling me…/telling me…to come inside and 
/dance… Cause life’s so /cold…
You don’t want to /Be Alone…don’t want to /be Alone… 
/Anyone…or anything…/Nothings the same…
We’re /holding hand…/playing hearts. 
Eyes /meet and the music /starts… 
/DANCE.. Cause life’s so/ cold…
you don’t want to/ be alone 
You don’t want to /be alone…
 Come inside…and /…DANCE…

/I don’t know…what love is…/Only know I cry …
/Every time I think of you…and /ask… myself why… 
Why you’re just so distant…you /won’t take my calls.. 
Its like /what we had…never happened…at /all… 
But my /heart knows…oh, my /heart knows… 
My heart knows…What/ love is… 

It /seems like all those places…we /used to hang around. 
/Don’t mean much to you…/now  there just empty ground… 
/You think that those memories…can /all just be replaced 
And /all the love we felt…can be /erased… 
But my /heart knows… my /heart knows …
My heart knows…What/ love is …

(bridge)Love’s the /ultimate addiction…/loss of all control  
/Permanent affliction…/ Tumor on your soul 
As /I assess the /damage…
and  my /current /state of /mind 
it /might appear at /first…that I’m just /fine…
but my /heart knows

MY HEART KNOWS (What Love Is)...by DOUG ROOSSIEN

Truly loved this piece composed by http://soundcloud.com/stephan-beneking and thought I'd give it a try and play myself :) Though, it was rather short and I felt like I want to make it a little bit longer so I took the liberty of improvising on the theme.

Petit reve bizarre #14 by Stephan Beneking - Variation on the theme by Milana

There was a long story behind this cover :) Steve offered to sing it together about a month ago but then lots of stuff happened, bad and good, and finally here is the result of hard work of four people :)
Thank you Steve for offering this and singing it with me!
Thank you Dave for adding your magical sax and redoing my dilettantish bass line :))
... well, thank you Arty for mixing it together :P

The look of love - Milana (vocal, piano), Steve Ferguson (vocal), Dave McKeown (sax, bass)

I was asked by Chris (@nu-ionmusic) if I can sing this song for him about a week ago but because of the accident with my son I didn't really have much time for collaborations. So, today I got some time to sing some collabs but  saw a lovely version sung by @emma-shanley :). I asked Chris if he still wants me to sing another version of the same song and got his approval. So here it is, something unusual for me :)

Long goodbye - nu-ionmusic (music, lyrics), Milana (vocal)

Milana's playing on this is just so good ... and her husband Arty did a great job on the mixing front.

Bridge Over Troubled Water (Milana Zilnik piano: Simon & Garfunkel cover)

When Andreas (http://soundcloud.com/Shoemansky) wrote me and asked if I am open for a collaboration it was like a big "wow" cause I'm a huge fan of his songs! So we chose the motif of one of my piano improvisations for the start (http://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/on-the-other-side-milana) and used the words I wrote myself when I was thinking to turn that impro into a song. And here is the result :)

-----------
You lay and wonder, if it is the end, 
And if there is a way  to escape this ending... 
Your tried your best, you made your final stand... 
An empty heart can't deal with no more pain!

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

On the other side.... on the other side there is hope, there is light..
Can we make it?

I search the ruins for survivals left. 
The grief is burning, but the fear is freezing. 
I'm scared to death to meet the living dead.
These dead are us, if we're afraid of living.

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

Burn this place, it can be saved by light. 
I rip and crash, until my hands are bleeding. 
If words were blades then I could win this fight, 
But all that's left in me is leaving, leaving...

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

Is it the end - Milana (lyrics, vox, piano), Shoemansky (vox, arrangement, prod.)

We’re not making love…words & music by Doug Roossien 1988

Tonight you’re not forgiving me…the way you always do
You always talked about goodbye…but then you’d give love one more try
I don’t know the reason why…but this time…love just died
I knew we weren’t making up tonight…when you turned out the light

You said we can’t…make love…out of something…that’s just not there
You’d like to believe…there was still…some hope…somewhere
But you can’t make love…out of nothing…the feelings…just not right
We’re not making love…we’re not making up…tonight

Maybe if I’d given you…a single rose of truce…
You’d of had a reason…not to leave…you’d of had faith in you and me
Maybe if I told you then…the way I’m feeling  now
It might have opened up your heart…enough for a fire…to make a start

But I can’t…make love…out of something…that’s just not there
If you hadn’t left…there’s have been…some hope…somewhere
But I can’t make love…out of nothing…and there’s no one…left to try
We’re not making love…we’re not making up…tonight


You can’t make love…out of something…that’s just not there
I’d like to believe…there was still…some hope…somewhere
But you can’t make love…out of nothing…there’s no one left…to try
We’re not making love…we’re not making… up…tonight

I don’t know about you…
But we’re not…
Darlin’…whatever… we’re not…
We’re not making love
I don’t know about you…
But we’re not…
We’re not making love

If I know you, like I do
Where would you go?
What would you do?

If I loved you less, than I ought to
Who would you run to?
What should I do?

Well I could navigate the deepest oceans
I could scale the highest peaks
I could dive into, the deepest blue
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what I'd do

If you know me, like you do
Why would I leave?
Where could I go?

If you loved me less, than you ought to
Who could I run to?
If not to you?

We can navigate the deepest oceans
We can scale the highest peaks
We could dive into, the deepest blue
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what we'd do

If I Know You (Like I Do) (Collaboration with Ian Melvin and Milana)

Hello Music my old friend....

I have made myself at home here for quite a while now and I love it. I feel that I have grown musically a lot here and you guys who have collaborated on songs with me and encouraged me with your comments and faves etc. are the reason!  Thank you for that! :) Here's to a lot more music to come!

All the songs are recorded with a Rode NT-A and Protools (mostly) by FrankZero
I got me an own mic now and start to experiment with different software, to find whats working best. 
So some of the songs are recorded with a Blue Snowball Mic and Audacity.
