Lyric and voice ....Paolo Pieraccini / MayaDog

Philip did yet another masterpiece with his piano and I was inspired to write and sing a love song ... a poignant love

"Let there be light" Classical Glass - Vocal version by MayaDog

Some songs take something special to bring them to life and in this case it is the Amazing voice of Finn Eces. Finn has a quality to his voice which is able to release the magic from a song and really express the message of the song in the Vocal with passion and beauty, very happy to have this collaboration with him. 

this song has been bugging me for months trying to get it to realize its potential and to get the feeling out of the song, i have already released  it under of the name of " Searching for your love" but i was never 100% Happy with it I hope all my SoundCloud friend agree that this is now a really Beautiful song. Finn can be found @finn_eces

Because Our Love Is Real : Featuring Finn Eces

Vocal and vocal composition: Oddrun Eikli
Piano and instrumental composition: Torbjørn Vagle
Orchestral composition and performance: Ad Van Nederpelt
Production for all instruments and vocals, the final mix and mastering: Ad Van Nederpelt
Poem: Emely Dickingson

Oddrun also writes this introduction for the poem included the lyrics:

Poem:
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

In this poem, Dickinson discusses her love for a man. She is jealous of everything around him, the water "He rides", the Chariots, the hills that watch him going by, the sparrows, the fly, even the leaves.
"I envy Seas, whereon He rides --" can be seen as a love poem for a man, but it can also be seen as a religious poem. The mention of Heaven and Gabriel can easily make this connection. The love of God and the love of everything he created.

I envy seas whereon he rides

I envy seas whereon he rides,
I envy spokes of wheels
Of chariots that him convey,
I envy speechless hills

That gaze upon his journey;
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As heaven, unto me!

I envy nests of sparrows
That dot his distant eaves,
The wealthy fly upon his pane,
The happy, happy leaves

That just abroad his window
Have summer’s leave to be,
The earrings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me.

I envy light that wakes him,
And bells that boldly ring
To tell him it is noon abroad,—
Myself his noon could bring,

Yet interdict my blossom
And abrogate my bee,
Lest noon in everlasting night
Drop Gabriel and me.

I envy seas whereon he rides. Torbjørn Vagle, Ad Van Nederpelt, Oddrun Eikli.

Came across the phrase 'like a rabbit in the headlights' and it got me thinking about pivotal moments, although the ending is ambiguous, no actual bunnies were hurt in the making of this song. Hope ya like it!

Frozen in the headlights
Feet refuse to run
Is this his last moment
Is he done?

Time for some reflection
Did this rabbit do it right?
Should he’ve been much bolder
Looked those humans in the eye
 
Stood his ground with foxes
Laughed at the farmer’s gun
Been a little more outrageous
Had some bunny fun.

Maybe gone to Vegas
Danced flamenco in Seville
Been a little more courageous
But he wasn’t, hey but still..

Will the driver dip those headlights
Let him off the hook
Ease up on the gas pedal
You never know your luck

Anastasiya Ihnatovich is one of the best talents to be found on SC. I had the privilege of being able to sing to the notes of her splendid piano. I recommend you to listen to her music here:

Below the lyrics of our song together

Time goes so slower
missing the one you love
You are my prison
But I don't want to escape
No, I don't feel alone
causes sadness
                                                                     
Is always with me

I still love you
But you don't care about me
You don't care about me
About me
I hide my pain with a smile
For you
It's true
I can't be strong all the time
And so I gave in to the pain
and I'm sure that my woman
My only woman is you

Thank you Oddrun and Phil for the pleasure of making music together.  

Down by the Salley Gardens, a tale of regret -- and perhaps unrequited love -- written by W.B. Yeats, has become one of the most beloved Irish songs of all time.

Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens, with little snow-white feet.
She bid me to take life easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her I did not agree.

In a field down by the river, my love and I did stand
And upon my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me to take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs,
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears.

Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me to take life easy, as the leaves blow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her I did not agree.

Down by the Salley Gardens. Oddrun Eikli. Philleann. Debra Buesking

For The Love Of A Princess

It's always hard to lose someone you care about. 
It's even harder to lose someone from your youth.
A great friend, someone who was always there for you
no matter what. Just like family!

She was a real Tomboy. I still chuckle and smile thinking about it.
One time she got into a fight because some random person grabbed her ass
when walking by. She knocked this dude right through the bar's window!
That's how badass she was, hence her nickname " One Punch Nicky ".

She was very pretty and had a killer friendly smile which in turn
caught most people off guard due her aggressive nature.
Which often would work in her favor! She was a real spitfire. 
Can't even remember how many times
I grabbed her by the hair to break up fights! She wasn't a hateful person.
Just one of those things growing up. Troubled, being young and stupid!

So many good memories and even the bad, will cherish those always.
It's bin so long now, still missing you dear Nicolai.
This track is a reminder to myself that I will never forget you!

This ones for you X

A breath from the Wind
From a distance

Special thanks to my wife Delphine who's taking more and more confidence in singing for my greatest pleasure. Nico, for his wonderful guitar. This guy is just amazing, you can ask him for anything and he plays it right away. 
And this song wouldn't sound as wonderful without Freddie's touch for the Mix&Mastering. Freddie has the patience of a Bouddha Monk, and the precision of a surgeon. Thank you my friend for all your professionalism and your passion that you share with all of us everyday! Such a pleasure to work with you.

Thanks to everyone stepping by, listening, thanks for your likes and comments. It's much appreciated. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics : 
Just tell me why you're so kind
Why you think it's worth to try
Hold on tight
Never change your mind
Let me know what's behind
What you need to mystify
All this time
I was colorblind

How can you be so determined
Holding back your tears and smile
To my lies
If I could rewind
All the words that I can find
Giving hope you can't rely
To keep you fine
Always on my side

I've heard it say before
Like a hundred times or more
That secrets learn to war
Let them blow away
Our love we thought so pure
Is now lying on the floor
I'm feeling insecure
I should walk away


Backing 1
Just tell me why you're so kind
How can you be so determined

Backing 2
Listen to your love
We can all lose our way somehow

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

ANOTHER TIME

Mother Earth

I'm fed up 
of those who sell morning and night
of despair 

I don't take it well
When they try to make me believe 
that red is black

it hurts me bad
to see that we forget to do what s good 
when everything goes wrong

I'm fed up 
of those who always strike
where it hurts me

and I'm enraged
when the vultures of the weakest
feast

I feel bad 
when they want to erect to the most vulgar 
a pedestal

I still want 
to believe in another life 
in other joys  
I dream that we can still build 
a new world, 
that we can finally change history

Rainbow branches

This is a song that has been one of my favorites for the last 25 years or so. It's a cover of a cover that Jerry Garcia (guitar, of course), Merle Saunders (keys), John Kahn (bass), and Bill Vitt (drums) recorded live at the Keystone in Berkley, CA, in 1973. It's actually a cover they did (I just found out a few years ago) of a song called Finders Keepers by the Chairmen of the Board, which is definitely worth checking out, too. This version is a more laid back, but it keeps the funk alive. 
  The guys who made this quarter century dream of mine come true are JJ Terrell, who plays the funky clavichord and dynamic organ throughout, Ken (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four)who's playing the tight, funky drums and great percussion, and Tez (Llanpsych), who's playing the ripping guitar lead at the end. Tez also mixed and produced this, expertly, as always. I'm on guitar, bass, and the synth lead at the beginning. Can't verbalize how much fun this was for me, and I hope all of us. We hope you enjoy it, too.

I wrote this Music on my IPAD during this time.
Love you dad see you in the next life.

The Stolen Child - Loreena McKennitt

 "Allegretto" from Palladio for String Orchestra by Karl Jenkins 

Karl Jenkins - Palladio

07 - Loreena McKennitt - The Lady of Shalott

When I was little, my parents divorced and we moved with my mother to the other side of the world. My parents always stayed on good terms, and we could call and write, so it wasn't like he had died or anything - but suddenly our father was just... gone from our everyday world. Over the decades, we have been able to catch up every couple of years or so, but parting each time always feels like losing him all over again, and no matter how old I get, that little girl inside me rises to the surface, re-living the confusion, hurt and loss. 

A few years ago, my father showed me a poem that little girl had written and sent to him during those first few years apart:
"I miss you like the pages of a book
I miss you like the shadow of a lion
I miss you like a bird up a flyin'
But when I think of you the sun shines through my tears"


SONG LYRICS:

Like the pages of a book you told me stories
Like the shadow of a lion you made me feel strong by your side
Like a bird up a flyin' in the sky you gave me fearlessness of heights
 
I miss you (I wish, wish you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through 

Like a step upon the footpath, you showed me how to get by - one foot in front of the other
Like a hug from someone special you gave me comfort when I was frightened
And like nothing else in this world you gave me endless, boundless love

I miss you (I wish, wish  you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through

I Miss You (a cappella)

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.
