wow ! really loving this track, the intro organs are majestically sublime as the track opens up, fantastic guitar arrangements and performances, and the lyrics are very meaningful indeed, an uplifting and inspiring production executed beautifully with wonderful spacial dimensions, thank you - shine

what a great track...what energy...what a collab!

Interesting change when those rhythm ghitar comes in.

More relevant now even than a year ago.... Russia and the Ukraine... although this a year ago was probably pandemic related.

Such an uplifting tune with a strong and positive message.  Truly excellent work from the three of you.  Magnificent!

Especially struck by this lyric in the light of what happened in Uvalde; "save our children".  This song addresses with superb musicianship the urgency of the times and a call to effective action.

Really nice collaboration guys. Lovely arrangement as well.

A Moment Of Bliss.

This is a Raw recording of this song which captures the emotion of the moment and I decided to leave it as is due to sentiment.   
The heart wants what it wants..  ☀️🌻
Three things remain: Hope, Faith and Love.. but the greatest of all.. is Love.     

Lyrics:

I know you’re tired love
You ache in your bones
You walk home alone..
But i’ll  be here when you walk through the door
In my arms you will be reborn

You question all things love
But love never fails
You ask how you got here
Yet the road we all take is the same
But I’ll walk by your side all the way

Love never fails.. Love
Just open your eyes
And when you are falling
I’ll swoop in like a Robin each time

Our heaven is here love
in each others arms
You’re mine and I’m yours love,  
every thought, every kiss, every moan,
rise again through the love we have known

Love never fails.. Love
Just open your eyes
And when you are falling
I’ll swoop in like a Robin each time
Oh Love never fails..  My Love
I’m two steps behind..
And when you are broken
I’m your Angel, I’ll heal you each time,
Love never fails … My Love.
Love never fails..

Love Never Fails

Rise

This song took a while. I am to blame for it. 
We have Ed (@livra-lamento-blues) with emotional vocals and AL (@al-z-z-z)on his wonderful lead guitar, and on top of that, Evan Sidawi with his mixing and mastering skills. Enjoy!
______
In loneliness
In the dark
Nothing could be worse than us apart
I don't wanna let you down
With my mood swings and impulsive acts
So I have to hide my soul … in that dark cellar … you know
Your judgments always make me sick
But you're just a player not a judge
And why drag these heavy chains if we wanna be light as the breeze

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Your constructions are so unreal
So you punish me with how you feel
Your convictions instead of trust
You don't believe but I know you're wrong
I'm used to these shadowy paths 
But it's different now … always different anyway
And the truth became a stranger 

Fight is over … both lost
It's not a fair game … just a farce 
We're all poisoned … until when?  
The court is bluffing … witness lies 
The judge is drinking … with those bad guys
The scenes are faked … all the time 
And all I wanna is hold you tight

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

A collaboration with Torbjørn Vagle and Jimmy Rivas.

I sent a demo of the song with the basic chord sequence to Torbjørn  and Jimmy in the hope they would consider joining me for another collaboration, Torbjørn to add his exceptional keyboards, Jimmy to write lyrics and provide his powerful and distinctive vocal, luckily for me they both agreed.

Torbjørn  and Jimmy’s contributions have lifted the song to a level way beyond my original demo, thanks very much for your outstanding work guys.

Triumph over adversity is the theme here, I think we can all relate.

THE RUSH OF THE RACE AND THE CALM AFTER | SHORT TALES PART VI

This vivid and lively piece for three acoustic guitars is made as a continuation of my Short Tales Series. As the title implies wild flurries of notes are followed up by the guitars in sequence and in unison, chasing , each challenging the other. Twists and turns follow into happy, mysterious, elated, restless and melancholic passages, always in movement. I find great joy in coming up with unexpected harmonies that can come from many different styles. In this sense this series doesn’t follow any strict style or form. Parts, especially the lead guitar are improvised. The ending has a little surprise so don’t leave too soon... Wait for it! ;)

I play my Flamenco Negro guitar strung with a new type of carbon strings for acoustic guitar by Knobloch ACTIVES CX carbon medium tension recommended by flamenco meastro Antonio Rey.

I hope you will enjoy this sixth Short Tale and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares. 
-Dan

The Rush of the Race and the Calm after

The Rush of the Race and the Calm after | Short Tales Part VI | Dan van den Berg

The chords progression on this track  came  to me with  classic  textures , sort of an  impressionist contemplative country vision  ...full of light and warmth  ... and  piano textures ... this  then matured and turned onto  a sort of gospel idea involving the clarinet ... and happy warm wishful feelings ...just around Christmas time .. so it is a bit of an improbable mix between  Gospel and what I understand from Monet or Manet  .. I hope you enjoy this original Christmas song full of good intentions  ... in troubled and cold  times .. All the best Steph

An instrumental Jazz Fusion (Cinematic Jazz) album featuring compositions by Gregor Theelen - newly arranged with added instrumentation by Peter Heckmann. 

The album mix is intentionally crafted with a distinct "live recording" vibe and not overly polished -  a sonic homage to the contemporary Jazz Fusion style of the late 1970's & 1980's (Weather Report, Stanley Clarke, Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis etc.)
