I know the film well and this music creates a beautiful space. Thanks for sharing Philippe

Здравствуй Роберт. Мне очень понравилась эта музыка. Я записал её себе, если ты не против.

Wonderful track, well played and constructed

I love the beautiful meditative melody...a special melody❣️

Listening to Tree of Life - Love it.  Great work, Close to Robert.

This is a real beauty. The chord changes are glorious.

This song was a bit of an experiment. While the tune is kind of poppy and upbeat, the lyrics are a little ambiguous. I had some fun trying to figure out the harmonies. A bit of a hot mess, but I am happy with it. I hope you enjoy!

FINALITY HAS NO DEATH

"Whatever"is an '80s-style rock song. It talks about the world of disposable and temporary things we live in, where nothing lasts long enough to become real. Friendships, relationships, love — everything is plastic and fleeting. A time without memories.

Whatever (Tanto Faz)

It’s just like that, the way I recall,
Blurred-out words, nothing real at all.
I hit the street, but I’m not there,
Can’t see you — green or red, I don’t care.
I walk ahead, try not to glance behind,
Where I go, you don’t cross my mind — that’s fine.
What’s gone is gone, it won’t return,
The future waits, no need to burn.
It’s gone, it’s done — no more glory,
The fire wipes out every story.
Time just moves, it won’t relent,
Chasing wins, it kills the present.
And memory? It fades, it dies,
Just disappears before your eyes.

++++++++++PORTUGUES

Tanto faz é um rock estilo anos 80. Fala sobre o mundo de coisas descartáveis e temporarias em que vivemos, onde nada dura tempo suficiente para se tornar verdadeiro. Amizades, relacionamentos, amores...tudo é plastico e passageiro. Um tempo sem memórias.

Tanto Faz

É bem por ai, é como eu me lembro;
Palavras difusas, tudo fake;
Descubro a rua e não me vejo;
Não te enxergo, verde ou vermelho;
Sigo em frente sempre tento não olhar pra trás;
Pra onde ando não te percebo, tanto faz;
O que passou, passou. Não volta jamais;
O futuro te espera, fica em paz;
Passou, passou, não tem mais glória.
O fogo varre toda a história.
O tempo sempre segue em frente, buscando a vitória despreza o presente.
A memória se diluí, se desfaz.

前夜 (zenya)

'An Epoch Of Insanity' inspired by the current plethora of ego manaics in charge of our world. I'm joined by my good friend, composer, arranger and master musician, Georg Boehme. All wind arrangements and sax solos are by Georg. Main composition and everything else by myself, including production.

An Epoch Of Insanity

An Epoch Of Insanity (Feat. Georg Boehme)

Writing and composing songs has never felt so natural—and for Toan Madritsch, the creative force behind !Paul (pronounced i-Paul), it’s nothing short of a gift. Now based in Tokyo, Toan feels completely at home: “It truly feels like coming home,” he says. And that sentiment aligns perfectly with his latest single, The Search.

True to !Paul’s signature sound, The Search features dreamy piano lines that gently guide you through a deeply personal sonic journey.

The Search marks the latest single from !Paul's upcoming second album The Awakening, and it’s clear that this album will build on the emotive, cinematic vibes that fans have come to love. If The Search is anything to go by, we’re in for a deeply moving musical journey. Whether you’re a long-time follower of !Paul or just discovering his unique sound, this track is an instant reminder of his ability to craft music that’s both uplifting and emotionally rich.

!Paul - The Search

I composed this music in response to a contest. Astrophysics fascinates me, so what a pleasure to compose a melody on the piano while immersed in the poetic space images of The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick (proposed to illustrate with a composition). Especially since I was showing off my new keyboard called Astrolab... I saw this film 10 years ago and have memories of it that are divided between formal beauty, philosophical questioning and a feeling of oppression. I thought it needed repetition, evolution and accident, gentleness and intensity, hope and inevitability, smallness and grandeur...

J'ai composé cette musique en réponse à un concours. L'astrophysique me passionne, alors quel plaisir de composer une mélodie au piano en immersion dans les images spatio poétiques de The Tree of Life de Terrence Malick (proposées pour être illustrée par une composition). D'autant que j'étrennais mon nouveau clavier nommé Astrolab... J'ai vu ce film il y a 10 ans et en conserve un souvenir partagé entre beauté formelle, questionnement philosophique et sentiment d'oppression. J'ai pensé qu'il fallait de la répétition, de l'évolution et un accident, de la douceur et de l'intensité, de l'espoir et de l'inéluctable, de la petitesse et de la grandeur...

Close to Robert is a French composer born in Scotland, pianist, producer and environmental activist, formerly elected to the town hall of Toulouse, France. 
His music mixes pop melodies, crooner voice, catchy bass lines, jazzy piano and synth solos. 
His compositions would be different without the Beatles, Bowie, Gainsbourg, Bashung, 80s Pop, the Roland JX3P synth... Close to Robert likes eclectic musicians, pop in the broad sense, like Chilly Gonzales, Jeanne Added, The Divine Comedy, Lana del Rey, Benjamin Biolay, Emilie Simon, Sébastien Tellier, Get Well Soon...
Ecology takes a major place in his lyrics, in a perspective that is both realistic and optimistic, because we have no other choice but to believe in humanity.
