„Heilig“ „Sacre“  „Sagrada“  (03.07.2023)


Diese Komposition widme ich dem katalanischen Baumeister Antoni Gaudi und seinem großen Bauwerk „Sagrada Familia“

Eine Verwandte erzählte mir staunend von der Besichtigung dieser Basilika.
Dabei zeigte sie mir viele schöne Fotos dieser wunderschönen Kirche.
Ein Foto habe ich als Motiv-Cover für meine Veröffentlichung dieser Komposition verwendet.

Der Bau wurde im Jahre 1882 begonnen und wird voraussichtlich im Jahre 2026 zum 100. Todestages Antonio Gaudi fertiggestellt sein. Somit hätte die Vollendung dieses sacralen Bauwerks 144 Jahren gedauert.
Dies ist für ein derart monumentales Bauwerk eine recht kurze Bauzeit, wenn man bedenkt,
dass die Erbauung des Kölner Doms  vom Architekt „Meister Gerhard“ 632 Jahre bis zur Vollendung benötigte. 

Antoni Gaudi war auch ein sehr gläubiger Mensch.
Seine Vision die Erschaffung eines Sühnetempel der Heiligen Familie.
Auf die Unmöglichkeit einer baldigen Fertigstellung angesprochen, antwortete Gaudi:
„Meine Kunde hat keine Eile“

Auf diesen Satz hin bezieht sich auch meine inspirierte Komposition.
Die Vision eines sacralen Klangwerks.
In diesem Sinne hat auch meine musikalische Arbeit keine Eile.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Holy" "Sacre" "Sagrada" (07/03/2023)


I dedicate this composition to the Catalan master builder Antoni Gaudi and his great building "Sagrada Familia"

A relative told me in amazement about visiting this basilica.
She showed me many beautiful photos of this beautiful church.
I used a photo as a motif cover for my publication of this composition.

Construction began in 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026 on the 100th anniversary of Antonio Gaudi's death. Thus, the completion of this sacred structure would have taken 144 years.
This is quite a short construction time for such a monumental structure, considering
that the construction of the Cologne Cathedral by the architect "Master Gerhard" needed 632 years to complete.

Antoni Gaudi was also a very religious person.
His vision of creating a temple of expiation for the Holy Family.
Asked about the impossibility of an early completion, Gaudi replied:
"My client is in no hurry"

My inspired composition also refers to this sentence.
The vision of a sacred sound work.
In this sense, my musical work is not in a hurry.

Thank you for your valued attention.

LYRIC
It took me half my life 
To finally gain insight
I only saw myself as others did
And I mostly stayed hid

I spent half my life
Upset and uptight
I learned it’s stupid to walk on eggshells
Every egg eventually breaks
And if that takes you half your life
That’s what it takes

Can't say exactly when
I knew what I didn’t then
A dawning realization
An opening of the mind
It only took me half my life for me to find

Time isn’t playing
It’s counting the days
If you don’t know what I’m saying
(Well) you won’t be young always
You sure won’t!

As the years accrue
In the remaining few
I won’t let regret confine me
I’ll amble slowly toward the light
Let the past all fade to black
I can’t go back
I love this last half of my life
So that’s all right


Half My Life

So ~ I wasn't really intending on writing / recording another new song at the moment since I'm attempting to finish a number of other songs for my current project ~~but This One came to me one day in July & I felt compelled & decided to kind of drop everything  & record it, as I was hearing it as the possible song I may tag on as the Final Song of my new project once it is complete to close it out ~~
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it at all ! :-)

THE LAVENDER

Carl from the Beautiful dark wrote a song today titled "Baldy Patty" and  it inspired me to write my own personal a song about baldness.  I started to lose my hair in my early twenties, and for awhile it bothered me and then one day, I decided to shave my head and I have never looked back. And now so many years have passed that I have been bald longer than I had hair.

My hair’s falling out and I don’t know what to do.
My hair’s falling out, and I’m singing this song to you.

I’ve got hair on my fingers; I’ve got hair on my neck.  
I’ve got on my toes, I’ve got hair on my chest.  
But the one place I want it, it keeps falling out.  
My hair’s falling out and I don’t know what to do.

I shaved my head until the top of my skull was shiny
And I know it’s counterintuitive but I’m no longer bald and whiny.
When you’re young, you assume that you’ll always have hair
And then when you start to lose it, you think it’s not fair
Sampson in the bible when he lost his hair, he became so weak
But that guy on the bottle of mister clean is definitely no geek

I’ve got hair on my fingers; I’ve got hair on my neck.  
I’ve got hair on my toes; I’ve got hair on my chest.  
But where it’s missing on the top of my head, I no longer care one bit.
Because now when it comes to baldness, I don’t give a shit

My Hair's Falling Out

another old recording that is  part cover part original
about my 90s fascination with Hope Sandoval and Mazzy Star...just sweet and simple music  beautifully performed in a soft understated fashion..Very soothing band to contrast with the grunge of the times that I also liked. Fade Into You although a big hit overshadowed the rest of their catalog.

For this tune, some of the words are lifted from Fade Into You.. but most are mine
I was never infatuated with her like the song suggests...I just liked the band and music ..Watching YouTube videos 30 years later I was struck by the comments of many  who were  captivated by her beauty and singing style..
So I added the fan craze element to the song, but it is more from  my observations of her persona on others, and it is not my personal experience 
Her reticent, diffident singing style apparently was  linked to her awkwardness with fame and the crowds and the cameras.....
I believe she found the attention and the stress of performing very difficult and this I totally relate to
..social anxiety can be a heavy weight to bear.....
This is what I am trying to write about if you read the lyrics carefully 
For me, the song is  really about one shy singer connecting with another. 
Hope was very brave to do what she did, feeling how she did. Much respect


When I was a boy I struggled with sin    
Faith, Hope and lust, where do I begin   
A monster awakened, electricity            
MTV Mazzy Star, my Mary Shelley 
         
Look at her singing, this angel, my crush  
Head tilting, eye shifting, my brain turns to mush 
Raven haired beauty, so soft, shy and stiff 
Haunting my head, sweet sound from her lips 
 
She sang Fade Into You          
Strange that you never knew   
Fade Into You                             
Me she never knew                   

When I was a boy I struggled to play 
To find the right words, thoughts got in the way 
I was building momentum, just biding my time 
Found hope and erupted, I'm sure it's a sign

Look at her dreaming, I can't see her hands
White dress and black boots, they don't understand 
That what she is holding, It's a message from me 
I've sent it to her, right through the TV

Fade Into You                             
Strange that you never knew  
Fade Into You                             
Me she never knew                  

Dr. Frankenstein I presume
 Sad creature from the Black Lagoon 
Like Lon Chaney howling at the moon
No one understands

Little waif  her mystery
Spins a spell to transform me
Kinda awkward no apologies
The stranger takes a stand

So write up that novel, Hold the Hand inside me
Creature, Creator, our narrative freed
This life lived in shadow, come apart and go black
Can you put it together? Why you singing like that?

Fade Into You                             
Strange that you never knew   
Fade Into You                             
Me You never knew                    
Yeah me she never knew 
Me she never knew

Lyrics HotR/Sandoval/Roback

Fade Into You ...or...The Magical Tale of How Hope Sandoval Turned The Rock Into A Piece of Putty

This song is about the space between performer and audience. And about the spaces between all of us.

-----------------------------

Here I am on the stage tonight
Trying to make them laugh
Like a priest in the darkness 
Trying to keep my faith

Oh, help me, Jesus
The faraway eyes

Words that fail to reach
As thin as the air
Faith is not thunder
I wonder if they care

I’m standing on the edge tonight
Staring into the void
Waiting for the whisper 
To find me as I stand

Oh, help me, Jesus
Will one heart be moved?

Outside, the wind rattles 
The glass in its frame
It beats me every time I
Try to play the game
I try to play the game

The dust floats through the spotlight
And settles on red velvet
I tried to write the perfect line
One you will adore
You’ll cry for more
Or have you heard this one before?

I shape my words into 
Little wooden boats
I push them out to sea
They sink without a trace

Oh, help me, Jesus
The bodies in the chairs

They put their hands together
To signify my worth
Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

On The Stage

Willkommen in meiner Welt  ( Wolke ) der Musik.
Projekt : Modern Philharmonic & Charism Voices

Von Anbeginn meiner Zeit fühle und denke ich in Musik. 
Das ist es. 
Ich finde meine hier veröffentlichten Kompositionen vermitteln das.  
Obwohl ich etwas Klavierunterricht hatte komponiere ich autodidaktisch, völlig frei im Moment.  
Nicht immer sind es gefällige Harmonien. Versucht meine Musik einfach unvoreingenommen und völlig wertfrei von Euren Hörgewohnheiten zu hören.

Folgt gerne meiner Klangwelt. 
Freue mich über meinen Musik-Account auf einen regen, kreativen inspirierenden Gedankenaustausch. 
Suche hier gleichgesinnte Sounddesigner*innen und Komponisten*innen die vielleicht mit mir ein verrücktes Klangteam bilden möchten um neue Klangwelten zu entdecken und kreieren.

Welcome to my world  ( Cloud ) of music.

From the beginning of my time feel and think in music.
That's it.
I think my compositions published here convey that.
Although I had some piano lessons, I compose self-taught, completely free at the moment.
It's not always pleasing harmonies. Just try to listen to my music unbiased and completely unjudged by your listening habits.

Feel free to follow my sound world.
I'm looking forward to a lively, creative and inspiring exchange of ideas via my music account.
I am looking for like-minded sound designers and composers who might want to form a crazy sound team with me to discover and create new worlds of sound.
