Fin du la Reve 122821

The Island Princess. Elegant and beautiful, elusive, sensual, and mysterious.

Regal and stately, warmth and beauty mix with hints of jazz and predictable consonance, balanced with unexpected yet compelling discord, hiding consoled melancholy.

Island Princess

When this dream begins it is beautiful, but is undefined and without direction. It matures into a solemn and confident mood with jazz characteristics, and seems to be awaiting disclosure when it slowly, but assuredly, comes to an end.

Fin du la Reve

A lively major key depicts a first love story, while the following minor tonality brings a sad reflection. The return of the major harmony brings a bright, hopeful
memory in recapitulation.

Loved and Lost

A colorful jazz-waltz remembering a time of discovery and music, as well as an unspoken, unrequited love.

Kakhol Waltz (Blue in Three)

Neither Spin Nor Toil

Paris Waltz

Imagine a man in a shiny space suit with big round goggles carrying a lunch pail-type briefcase in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other as he travels in his space ship from planet to planet fixing fellow inhabitants' electrons alignment.

At 5am he slips out of his comatose
No freedom can be found
At 6am he’s ready for another dose
That bitter mug is round

He peers into the platen glass of everglow
His goggles flash with light
Steering the keys upon the table with his ebb and flow,
His expert touch and might

It’s just velocity
It’s magic for the mind

“If you had seen that dusty floor I’ve often muddled through”
He whispers to the crowd
Always waving as they call him to another room
(He hears them all out loud)

Having saved electrons to and from the Inner Core
He stands erect at last
Seven missions made to planets indirect and more
To present from the past

It’s just velocity
It’s magic for the mind
No curiosity
Is just a waste of time

Time to take the journey home
To wife and only son
Train of Grand Vitesse and might
Knowing how to keep them always mission number one
May take the speed of light

It’s just velocity
It’s magic for the mind
With such ferocity
He saves them all in time
