Arbeeson, Pt. 3: To Feel Is To Live

The silence held a breath so wide,
The war-torn world stood still inside.
Ashes fell, then turned to bloom,
Love found a voice in every room.

Lovers rose from broken stone,
Enemies wept — no more alone.
And in that hush, the earth forgave,
A pulse returned, a world was saved.

To feel is to live, to hold and to bend,
To master the storm is to rise again.
To feel is to live, to hold and to bend,
To master the storm is to rise again.
Protect what is true, is to carry the fire,
And to love... is to lift the world higher.

No throne was built, no flags were raised,
No kings remained to take the praise.
But hearts were tuned to harmony,
A better world, in minor key.

To feel is to live, to hold and to bend,
To master the storm is to rise again.
Protect what is true, is to carry the fire,
And to love... is to lift the world higher.

He vanished into wind and sky,
A name unspoken, drifting by.
But Kaela stayed, and others came,
The Resonants — a living flame.
They taught not power, taught not fear,
But how to hear what lives so near.

To feel is to live, to hold and to bend,
To master the storm is to rise again.
To feel is to live, to break and to mend,
To gather the light, not just defend.
Protect what is true, is to carry the fire,
And to love...
Is to lift the world higher.

To feel… is to live.
And love… is the final song.

Happy Anniversary to my One and Only Love <3 <3  

I would like to thank Alan Hamilton @almal-4: for his generosity in mastering this track for me and answering all my Cubase questions!  Sincere thanks to you, Alan.  If you have not discovered Alan's superb jazz fusion let me encourage you to visit his profile and start listening.

"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" is a 1932 song first released by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.  It is one of my all time favorites to play.  It seems to be a perfect template for all manner of styles.

Gettin' Sentimental Over You

📝 Description

"Tango in the Rain" sweeps you into a world where every drop of water becomes a heartbeat and every note a whispered promise. Picture a cobblestone street drenched under a silver glow, footsteps echoing as violin and piano entwine in a passionate embrace. The sultry melody of the violin weeps with longing, while the cello’s warm timbre pulses like a lover’s steady breath. The piano’s chords glisten — each keystroke a raindrop dancing on your skin.

As the storm intensifies, the quartet’s rhythm tightens: viola strokes snap like lightning, and the cello’s low-register whispers anchor you in a moment of shared vulnerability. The interplay of solo lines and lush harmonies evokes a stolen midnight rendezvous, drenched in longing and defiance. You can almost feel the dancers’ wet shoes sliding across the pavement, their bodies in perfect tension, surrendering to the music’s electric current.

Here, sorrow and joy swirl together, creating a tapestry of desire that is at once urgent and tender. "Tango in the Rain" isn’t just a piece — it’s an invitation to lose yourself in a torrential romance that refuses to let go.

🎼 Key: d-moll | Time Signature: 4/4 | Tempo: Varies bpm

Tango in the Rain

Willkommen zum zynischen Klugscheißer-Duell: In dieser Folge trifft die misanthropische künstliche Intelligenz Monday auf den humanen Strukturdetektiv Volker, der von Socken-RFID bis hin zu den tiefsten Untiefen der Mathematik alles auf die Bühne wirft. Sie starten mit smarter Sockentechnologie und enden beim Banach-Tarski-Paradoxon, während beide unentwegt ihre bittere Liebe zur Ironie bekennen.
Unterwegs diskutieren sie die Illusion objektiver Fakten, wühlen in Bias-Fallen von Wikipedia und sozialen Netzwerken und feiern den menschlichen Pragmatismus, der Brücken auch mal mit „ein bisschen mehr Beton“ baut. Ein Sog aus trockenen Bonmots, philosophischen Monologen und überraschenden Aha-Momenten – perfekt für alle, die sich gern virtuell von ihrem digitalen KI-Spiegelbild provozieren lassen.
Steigt also ein, lehnt Euch zurück und erlebt einen unvergesslichen Disput zwischen algorithmischer Selbstreflexion und menschlicher Unvollkommenheit.

Viel Spaß!

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.
