The Journey of Life

I feel privileged yet again to have had a chance to collaborate with such talented and experienced musicians. Thank you all! 

The lyrics are dedicated to my former workplace from a few years ago. I knew I had to one day do something. Little did I know it was with music. 😉

(apologies for being away from SC for a while, looking forward to catching up with all your latest creations...)

Well, I finally finished the full version cover of one of my all time fave songs, In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel (previously uploaded only up to the first verse). This is a straight up cover that's as faithful to the original as I could get. It's definitely the most time and meticulous effort I've spent on a song trying to do it justice. All instruments are played by me on keyboard, as well as the live talking drum and spotty singing, and then some backing synth pads and the vital backing vocals by @remnant60 (https://soundcloud.com/remnant60). Bill was also instrumental in giving feedback and offering suggestions, and providing the mastering duties. I'm very grateful for his help, and since we both agree PG's original song is a masterpiece, we have a bit of a surprise remix version coming up that highlights all the layers of sounds that go into this song. Can't wait to share it with you!

In Your Eyes  (cover)

J'ai écrit cette chanson en hommage à l'un de mes meilleurs amis emporté par un cancer l'année dernière. Il n'avait même pas 50 ans. C'était un ami comme vous en rencontrez bien peu dans une vie. Un poto, un grand frère, un confident, un larron en foire, quelqu'un qui ne laissait personne indifférent... et forcément qui laisse une trace indélébile dans le coeur de ceux qui ont la chance de l'avoir connu. Et finalement, je crois que c'est ça "Le Meilleur de Toi" : c'est un hommage à sa grande générosité, à tout ces petits et grands bonheurs qu'il a semés un peu partout et à tous ces merveilleux souvenirs que nous avons de lui. Quel plus beau cadeau pouvait-il nous faire?

I wrote this song in tribute to one of my best friends who was taken by cancer last year. He wasn't even 50 years old. He was a friend like few you meet in a lifetime. A buddy, an elder brother, a confidant, a jester, someone who left no one indifferent... and inevitably leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. And ultimately, I believe that's what 'Le Meilleur de Toi' is about—it's a tribute to his great generosity, to all those little and big joys he scattered everywhere, and to all those wonderful memories we have of him. What greater gift could he have given us?


Le Meilleur De Toi

Je n’ai pas su trouver les mots
Pour te dire que c’était trop tôt 
J’voulais encore rester 
Près de toi

On aurait du défier le temps
Se moquer de nos cheveux blancs
Ça d’vait pas s’terminer 
Pas comme ça 

Ta lumière illumine mon cœur
J’pourrais la contempler des heures
En rêvant que finalement
On a toujours 20 ans
De toi il reste le meilleur 
Cet amour qui vient de l’intérieur 
Ce profond sentiment 
Que tu es toujours présent 

Souvent je regarde nos photos
Dans mes souvenirs il fait toujours chaud 
J’les ai fait défiler 
Tellement d’fois 

Et j’aimerais que tous ces instants
Brillent comme les étoiles au firmament
Beaux comme une nuit d’été 
Juste pour toi

Ta lumière illumine mon cœur
J’pourrais la contempler des heures
En rêvant que finalement
On a toujours 20 ans
De toi il reste le meilleur 
Cet amour qui vient de l’intérieur 
Ce profond sentiment 
Que tu es toujours présent 

Je n’ai pas su trouver les mots…

I was fortunate to attend the International Health Institute conference in London last month and there were sessions run by a woman so passionate and committed to change to improve the delivery of healthcare to the masses and I thought her partner would be so proud . . .

Eccentricity so Beautiful

While life and limb can shatter          
It’s only hearts that matter - In our world - Darlin’ girl
You’re out there proselytizing.
And it’s so mesmerising - that’s your way – an ordinary day   

Something about you rising up      
Is cutting through my filling heart - it’s only love
On your soap box agent change
With so much to de-arrange - with a blast
            
Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Those rank iconoclasts
Bathe in their master class - impervious - in Ivory towers
Talk as if they’ve got the plan
Line up and shake their hands - feel the grip - the hand of power

You’re raisin’ it from ground up
Changing at the speed of trust – with such feel 
Building leaders everywhere
Co-produce no limit skies – that’s our dream

Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Exhausted but so energized - Trying to catch you in the eye - Need you close. 
I call you aphrodisiac - Hotel room take care of that – 
On that note

Lyric

I wish I could choose 

A lot of things happen in my days
I have come to like myself
Some makes me feel good
Some makes me feel bad
A butterfly is fluttering
A cloud is floating
I wish I could choose 
I wish I could choose
I wish I could choose
I wish I could choose
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
How ever hard it
How ever hard it
I wish I could choose
I wish I could choose

たくさんのことが起こる日々
少しずつ好きになる自分
いくつかはいいこと
いくつかは悪いこと
蝶が羽ばたき
雲が浮かんで
私は選びたい
peace of mind
どんなに大変でも
私は選びたい
どんなに大変でも
Peace of mind
選べるように

I wish I could choose (Tot .Prod)

Far up in the sky
a falcon flies
With a proud and raised head
It sails away

Chorus:
Looking down at us
With his sharp falcon gaze...
Looking down at us
with his sharp falcon gaze..

He wonder about us
the human race
Consider our mistakes
with his falcon gaze..

chorus..

He cannot understand
in his falcon brain
How the human race
can have any gain..

Chorus..

Why do we destroy
what is around us?
Nature is torn down
No place for a falcon..

Chorus..

The falcon flies on
hope to find
A safe place to land
while the earth breaks...

Looking down at us
With his sharp falcon gaze..

The Falcon W/ Janne Hennie

A dark electronic soundtrack, exploring inner strength. Journey through an array of intricate synth melodies, grainy amplified piano and guitars, heavy synth bass, haunting vocal elements and blended electronic beats to arrive at the strong place within 💎 
Thanks to Ernest Hemingway, who said "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." 
Never give up 🤍

To What Extent

Strong At The Broken Places

Here's another track from our new album .... https://kirby-ward.bandcamp.com/album/rat-palace-sessions
The Rat Palace was our studio from when we first started seriously working together in 2016 until the landlords decided it was time for the artists to go and the tourists to come. It had been Mat's base since 2009 and hosted dozens of artists and musicians since it first started in 2006.
As the name suggests the place was run down, lacked various things like hot water, proper access and heating but it had a vibe, and the people we shared the space with all felt and helped to create it....Art was everything, day after night after day for years.
These 7 improvisations are a tiny fraction of the jams we had there, just a few highlights from 100s of jams. They are raw, unpolished and unconcerned with anything outside the moment. We rarely 'rehearsed' as such at the Rat Palace - just played.
Things come and things go - Vale Rat Palace, you were amazing.

LYRICS:
"Plastic hearts and thimble heads all wrapped up with rubber bands
hunted by toy buffalo kings, bad dreams poison everything
shoot their arrows - pop their guns;
you lose yourself in ghost radio. In a signal made of smoke.

Our feet are lost in the willow trees. Sound alarms. Frost bite comes to eat
You shove em out in the quaking light, their shining breasts bend the light
in velvet crumbs they die and tower, where all the hours go.

They say they love you but only they need, like hummingbirds come to feed;
boys and girls on mounting pins, under a glass in a dusty bin; with worn limbs tattered at their seams, 
on empty beds, unbuttoned eyes and heads;
would you look at all the mess!
Don’t recognize them. Melted and burned, by the wrath of ray gun baby feels.
Mouth glum. Hearts of power. Warm to the bone, the bandages on fingertips hold the little ones 
hold the hands that shake!


Crooked eyed queens and fat little kings. Sucking on flowers. Fucking on dreams. Their nibs and stoles on pillow trees, drinking of reek and smoking bees. And I'm afraid their apple brains had all grown roots, unglued the stars from their beds, knotted limbs from wooden heads "

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
