Love and Friendship
BY EMILY BRONTË
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly’s sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He still may leave thy garland green.

Love and Friendship. Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking

Song written because of an observation I made of so many grandparents raising young children. Originally written for a friend to sing in the vein of John Mellencamp. He had done an excellent version of one of Mellencamp's songs.
I'll link to it as soon as I find it.
Sadley, my singer friend got sick and passed away. 
So, I was forced to do the vocal.

Grandma's Got The Baby

Once again I was very fortunate that the talented Irish bard Johnny McFarlane created great lyrics for one of my pieces of music. I think these lyrics can be help and support for us to find our inner strength and magic, especially in these dark and difficult times! Thanks so much, Johnny!

Lyrics by John McFarlane  (copyright)

Don’t close your eyes and have no fear.
You must be Brave for the Magic to Appear.
Believe, be strong and you will see.
The Magic inside of you will set you free.

Don’t be chained by your fears, you must be strong.
Stay true, trust your heart for you belong.

Chorus
Stay true to your heart and you will see.
The magic inside of you will set you free.
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Don’t close your heart or you might stray.
Don’t close your eyes or you’ll surely lose your way.

Chorus
Stay true to your heart and you will see.
The magic inside of you will set you free.
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Stay True To Your Heart (John McFarlane & Raphael Muhr)

Forward and upwards
No need to look back
When I hear your voice
I almost see your face
Give me that reality check

Detours and sideways
as push came to shove

Windows and doorways
(crawling out, pushing through)
loopholes and timeframes
Forward and upwards
(don't come back, don't look down)
fragile but agile
I know we can make it okay

I see you are wearing a mask 
 (lay it down)
to hide from the gazes

We're okay with everything
We're okay with everything

U-turns and ley lines,
cruising and loosing myself
every inch of the way
Can you shed a light
(show it to me)
on this conundrum now?
I'll wear my heart on my sleeve

Occupy where are you now?
Did you find a way for salvation?
(show me the way now)

Forward and upwards
)how to get myself out of here)
I'll only transmit on your wavelength

Forward

This is an old collaboration composed and initiated by my old friend from SC Julien (@audio-colors), soloing on keyboards, who also mixed and finished it off so well.  It also involves an old SC friend, BJP, fantastic guitarist (@bakingjazzpower). I'm happy to share these great memories. Feel free to listen to these great musicians on SC.

Everything In Love

Attitudes of the Heart

💿

Feels like we’re just creatures in a zoo
Living with eight billion angry souls
Someone needs to put up a big sign that says
Don’t feed the angry trolls

They say you shouldn’t wrestle with a pig 
Because in the end you’ll both get dirty
But the pig will actually have fun
And you’ll need a shower when you’re done

When someone tosses red meat at you
You can make the decision not to chew
You can be like Dirty Harry - say make my day
But sometimes it’s better to walk away

You don’t need to go straight to defcon one
With some random jerk who likes to argue for fun
You don’t need to start world war three
Just because you disagree

People out there who are like pigs
And they try to drag you into the mud
They’re out there trying to provoke
They make you angry and they think it’s all a joke

For days you’ll replay the argument in your head
While every night the pig sleeps comfortably in his bed

Everyone thinks they’re right
They don’t want to admit that maybe they were wrong
They’ve had opinions for so long
Sometimes you just have to let it go
And realize that you’re not goanna change their mind
Keep moving forward don’t look behind

When someone tosses red meat at you
You can make the decision not to chew
You can be like dirty Harry - say make my day
But sometimes it’s better to walk away

If you’re going through life trying to make it through your busy day
And a pig comes along with something provocative to say
Just let it go in one ear and out the other side
Don’t let that pig take you for a ride
Don’t feed the pigs
Just let them pontificate 
and go about your business 
and don’t take the bait

Why can’t we all just get along
Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song
Why can’t we all just get along
and accept the fact that sometimes we're wrong
Why can’t we all just get along
Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song

Don't Feed The Pig

In 2019 I arranged this great song and Antje has been so nice to sing.

Afro Blue (cover feat. Antje)

Beneath An Evening Sky (Hollingsworth / arr. Falker)

Best described as eclectic, my style is a soothing mix mirroring my personality: mostly mellow with the occasional outburst. Although I have a background in classical piano I have always loved to create and improvise.  Since early childhood I have been trying to duplicate on the piano what I hear in my head.  Now I see how formal studies and improvisation fit together perfectly. I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all my endeavors. Thank you for your kind listening.

Love and Friendship. Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking
