Poem: Emily Jane Brontë (The first verse of the poem: Come, walk with me)

Come, walk with me,
There's only thee
To bless my spirit now -
We used to love on winter nights
To wander through the snow;
Can we not woo back old delights?
The clouds rush dark and wild
They fleck with shade our mountain heights
The same as long ago
And on the horizon rest at last
In looming masses piled;
While moonbeams flash and fly so fast
We scarce can say they smiled -

Come walk with me, come walk with me;
We were not once so few
But Death has stolen our company
As sunshine steals the dew -
He took them one by one and we
Are left the only two;
So closer would my feelings twine
Because they have no stay but thine -

'Nay call me not - it may not be
Is human love so true?
Can Friendship's flower droop on for years
And then revive anew?
No, though the soil be wet with tears,
How fair soe'er it grew
The vital sap once perished
Will never flow again
And surer than that dwelling dread,
The narrow dungeon of the dead
Time parts the hearts of men 

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature.

Mama's Boy by Kammerin Hunt & Nadia Selvaggi

Zephyrus abducted and then married the nymph Chloris, transforming her into a goddess: Flora.
The portrait of Flora, together with the scene of the abduction, is depicted in one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art: ‘Primavera’, by Sandro Botticelli (Uffizi Gallery, Florence).

I wrote this song when I was in high school (which means in the mid-70s), so I guess the naivety of the lyrics and the simplicity of the original melody are understandable. Francess (@pianofran : you all know her) worked beautifully on that melody (the archeological version of the song had a definitely different rhythm); we weren't planning to revive the song (the idea was to produce a purely instrumental piece), but the beauty of this piano arpeggio motivated me to give it a try. And so I sang it.
Of course, my gratitude goes to Francess for the magnificent work she has done on this my old music! 🙏

Lyrics (ENG / ITA)

You live in the leaves
of your fears
like a snowdrop
that can never bloom
Sad mechanisms
your tears and your smiles
seek the courage
to break the enchantment

But the wizard who imprisoned you
With golden bracelets
cannot stop the wind
that ruffles your thoughts
and only in little moments
incredulous and light
you imagine that time
listens to your breath

Already the leaves are falling
of your fears
and the wind disperses them
among thousands of plains
Your new smile
like fountain water
chases in the streets
other gazes and new lives

The sky is a hawk
and air a bee
the waters together dance
in your soft fingers
of perfumed musk
you will carry them with you
never more shall you pass
where they still shade
cold, dark bushes

----

Vivi tra le foglie
delle tue paure
come un bucaneve
che non potrà mai fiorire
Tristi meccanismi
i tuoi pianti e i tuoi sorrisi
cercano il coraggio
di spezzare il sortilegio

Ma il mago che ti imprigionò
con braccialetti d'oro
non può fermare il vento
che ti spettina i pensieri
e solo in brevi attimi
incredula e leggera
ti immagini che il tempo
ascolti il tuo respiro

Già cadono le foglie
delle tue paure
e il vento le disperde
fra migliaia di pianure
Il tuo nuovo sorriso
come acqua di fontana
rincorre nelle strade
altri sguardi e nuove vite

Il cielo è un falco
e l'aria un'ape
le acque insieme danzano
nelle tue dita morbide
di muschio profumato
li porterai insieme a te
mai più dovrai passare
là dove ancora ombreggiano
cespugli freddi e scuri

T-Night Shuffling

The song is both a nostalgic tribute to this 1981 movie that gave me nightmares, and a nod to the iconic Bruce Campbell for his work in this franchise

but it then turns metaphorical as I equate the Evil Dead to the AI that is now all around us...  my call to arms..my call to channel Bruce Campbell and fight these Deadites......AI wants to swallow yer soul.......listen ..you will see....


The Evil Dead

When I was a kid
I saw some scary shit
Scary shit that scared the shit out of me
Kandarian demons
Growling and screaming
Couldn't sleep for a week
Thought they were coming for me

I need to channel 
Bruce Campbell
Fight the fear that's growing in my head
Channel Bruce Campbell
Chainsaw my angst
Fight off the Evil Dead
Check underneath my bed

Yeah I was that kid
So freaked by that shit
That card scene with Cheryl scared the shit outta me
8 of spades, 2 of spades
Jack o’ diamonds and clubs
When she twisted and threatened 
I blathered and blubbed

I need to channel 
Bruce Campbell 
Dismember my fear
Decapitate the devil in my head
Channel Bruce Campbell 
Gouge out my angst
Fight off the Evil Dead
Maybe read a book instead


KANDA 
ESTRATA 
EARGRETS
AMANTO NOS FERATES


Now I am old
I hear some scary shit
Scary shit, it scares the shit out of me
Jack-booting goose steps
Skynet sing a longs
The bots and their soul-sucking sweet melodies

We need to channel 
Bruce Campbell 
Necronomicon 
These lies we’re fed
Channel Bruce Campbell 
Feeling lost in the forest 
Here comes the Evil Dead
Maybe try and write some actual human songs instead

SECOND SKIN

Anitras Dans

la brume se lève sur le lac

neoclassical ballad, with counterpoints and background melodies and some unexpected (and honestly: unjustified) modulations.

- Felt piano
- Upright basses
- Indian harmonium
- ukulele
- Vibraphone
- String section


For this haiku:

The past, immutable -
an icicle stabs
directly downward

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
