So it Begins

Oh WOW! Over 2000 plays of this very personal track. To think I was hesitant to even post it... Thank you so much! ❤️

In our lives, we are granted the opportunity to witness the departure of our loved ones. Some depart through doors, never to return, yet still exist somewhere. Others leave suddenly, unexpectedly. Yet some depart when we are somewhat prepared, for their age predisposes them to it. However, there are also departures more challenging... when we observe the tree of the mind of a beloved, from which memories' leaves fall, and even the freshest, youngest cannot hold on to it. We cannot help, we can only watch how they fall...

Composing this little piece was very personal. It was combined with the realization of a fact from my immediate surroundings. I left all imperfections of my playing because of how I felt at that moment. It wasn't an improvisation, it was an interpretation of a theme that I've developed few minutes earlier.

True Friend

Is it kind to tell a lie when a friend needs the truth?
What is kind from fellow minds true friends all have to choose
Saying words without meaning will not help a friend
Speak the truth, mean the truth and it will set you free

Choices made can make us slaves gravity starts to pull
Causing minds and hearts to ache changing wise into fools
Tell the truth, speak the truth, honesty will supply 
 Second chance, stable hands, and it all starts with you

Never lie to a friend
Just to spare them torment
If you choose to be silent
You'll fall in the end

Speak your mind leave doubt behind
Courage will free the lost
Do what right to warn a friend
Never mind what the cost

Speak the truth
Live the truth
And it will set you free
Truest love never shirks
Truth is all that can be

Never lie to a friend
Just to spare them torment
If you choose to be silent
You'll fall in the end

Speak the truth
Live the truth
And it will set you free

Never lie to a friend
Just to spare them torment
If you choose to be silent
You'll fall in the end

Great book about honesty:

"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)
