White Feathers was written to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Damien Reid 
I was always told as a child if you find a white feather, it’s a message from a loved one who has passed on. 
I don’t know how true it is, but it stuck with me & I’ve never passed a white feather yet, without picking it up.
So the old saying; ‘When feathers appear, angels are near.’ 
Was the inspiration behind the song I decided to write in Damiens memory ‘White Feathers’

White Feathers

Hello to all,
a few days ago i was surfing on soundcloud, and i saw that Anastasiya Ihnatovich started following me. I clicked on his profile by curiosity and i listened to his music. They are solo piano pieces, and I fell in love with a series of 3 pieces with the overall title "Up Until Then".
I contacted her and asked her if I could do an arrangement on the first piece "Up", and she accepted.

Here is the solo piano part (first piece of the list) composed and performed by Anastasiya Ihnatovich:

Here is the result once arranged and orchestrated, hoping you like it.

Thanks for listening and for your comments,

Franck

PS: I want to thank Anastasiya for allowing me to create a little arrangement and orchestration around her track "UP".

Bonjour à tous,
il y a quelques jours de cela je surfais sur soundcloud, et j'ai vu qu'Anastasiya Ihnatovich s'est mise à me suivre. J'ai cliqué sur son profil par curiosité et j'ai écouté sa musique. Il s'agit de morceaux de piano seul, et je suis tombé sous le charme d'une série de 3 morceaux avec pour titre global "Up Until Then".
Je l'ai contacté et je lui ai demandé si je pouvais faire un arrangement sur le premier morceau "Up", et elle a accepté.

Voici la partie piano seul (premier morceau de la liste) composée et interprêté par Anastasiya Ihnatovich:

Voici le résultat une fois arrangé et orchestré, en espérant que cela vous plaise.

Merci pour votre écoute et vos éventuels commentaires,

Franck

Take Her Away

Lyrics:

I move upon this earth
Lightly, no footprints to
Make a mark, no, no-one knows
Where I go, no, I’m alone
Floating oh so gently, the
World below no longer home

He hears a sigh carried
Through winter air, and a
Whisper of his name from some
Corner or some shadow
I am here still, love, and ’tis
You I wish to follow

Consciousness echoing
Light as a feather, I
Will not desert you my love

Though my restless soul
Shall forever roam
I merely hope you remember me
As your life moves on
I was never gone
I’ll be here loving you silently
Silently

Long days aplenty, I’ve
Drifted here, longing for
You to see that our love was
Meant to be here endlessly
Such a love lasts far beyond
Anything, eternally

But your mind is chained to this
Belief that life can cease
Suddenly, but nought remains
Physically, just memory
How I wish you could see, I’m
Closer than you would believe

Wishing and waiting, I
Reach out to touch you, my
Spirit is sailing away

Though my restless soul
Shall forever roam
I merely hope you remember me
As your life moves on
I was never gone
I’ll be here loving you silently
Silently

Aah, aah, aah
Though my restless soul
Shall forever roam
I merely hope you remember me
As your life moves on
I was never gone
I’ll be here loving you silently
Silently

I’ll be here, silently

Loving You Silently

When I Wake Up
