Echoes of the Sea

Echoe sof the Sea

My friend @othiqivmin had set up everything needed for streaming live from our band rehearsal studio in an old air raid shelter. And on November 2nd @Triscus and me had the big honor to be part of the very first lineup for Bunkerpolka Bummtschik. Thanks to @annacarla for photo and bootleg ❤️

Live @ Bunkerpolka Bummtschik

J'ai voulu reprendre cette magnifique chanson de Julien Clerc.
Un classique de la chanson française, probablement inconnu à l'étranger.
La mélodie, les accords, le sens, tout correspond à ce que je cherche à composer moi-même.
Cette version se veut un peu plus dramatique en accord avec le texte 
(translated below)

----
"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"
Me disaient des chiliens, bras ouverts, poings serrés
Comme une langue ancienne
Qu'on voudrait massacrer
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver

Comme la lune fidèle à n'importe quel quartier
Je veux être utile à ceux qui m'ont aimé
À ceux qui m'aimeront
Et à ceux qui m'aimaient
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à chanter

Ah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Dans n'importe quel quartier d'une lune perdue
Même si les maîtres parlent et qu'on ne m'entend plus
Même si c'est moi qui chante
À n'importe quel coin de rue
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver

Ah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"
Me disaient des chiliens, bras ouverts, poings serrés
Comme une langue ancienne
Qu'on voudrait massacrer
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver
Comme la lune fidèle à n'importe quel quartier
Je veux être utile à ceux qui m'ont aimé
À ceux qui m'aimeront
Et à ceux qui m'aimaient
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à chanter

"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"

-----
“What good is a song if it's disarmed?”
Chileans said to me, arms open, fists clenched
Like an ancient language
That one would like to massacre
I want to be useful
To live and to dream

Like the moon faithful to any neighborhood
I want to be useful to those who have loved me
To those who will love me
And to those who loved me
I want to be useful
To live and to sing

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

In any quarter of a lost moon
Even if the masters speak and I'm no longer heard
Even if I'm the one singing
On any street corner
I want to be useful
To live and to dream

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

“What good is a song if it's disarmed?”
Chileans said to me, arms open, fists clenched
Like an ancient language
That someone would like to massacre
I want to be useful
To live and to dream
Like the moon faithful to any neighborhood
I want to be useful to those who have loved me
To those who will love me
And to those who loved me
I want to be useful
To live and to sing

“What good is a song if it's unarmed?”

More Than Just Any Day

Unseen Colours (naviarhaiku570)

anticipation of what is to come

"We are thrilled to welcome Saah, a talented neoclassical pianist and composer from Austria, to the Woman Muse Series!. From the moment she first touched the keys of an old piano as a child, Saah discovered the power of music to express emotions beyond words. Now an award-winning composer, she creates delicate, intimate piano pieces that invite deep reflection and connection. Her latest piece, "Beyond", drifts through a serene soundscape, its elegant felt piano tones carrying a quiet sense of introspection. With a neoclassical touch, this composition invites you to pause, breathe, and explore what lies beyond the present moment."
