Edward Bean, piano

Music for Children (and Cats) is an ongoing series of short etudes I've composed to introduce musical devices and notational approaches I wish I had been exposed to as an 8-year-old pianist.

Six of the pieces were performed in the following order:
i. Václav and Horace
ii. Walter
iii. Tiger
iv. Gemma
v. Millie (milliemillie)
vi. Thyme

Thyme (live)

I met you at Bard College 
Thought my best days might be dead.
Liberal arts or a B.A. in English, she’s got
Knowledge, style, sights far ahead.
And when we finish the night with
A bottle of Jack laying on your bed…

There’s something about you
That’s making me crazy
I haven’t forgot you
My memory’s hazy

You know those people at parties,
The ones who smoke in a corner nursing a beer?
Believe it or not they’re self-starters
Thinking hard about staying in the clear next year.
Keep some people as options still open,
Build a team and try to push down the dread.

There’s something about you
That’s making me crazy
I haven’t forgot you
The memory’s hazy

Something About You - (demo)

music and lyrics by Eddie Bean (2016)

At this time of year
When the New Year’s near
All I want in life is you right here.
In the end it’s just another year.

The snow’s getting greener;
My thoughts getting meaner. 
Too much cheer can make me blue.
All I want is time to spend with you.

An ice rink’s in L.A.
People go to play
And still wear scarves and gloves ‘cause that’s the way
All the movies say it’s holiday.

The snow’s getting greener;
My thoughts getting meaner. 
Too much cheer can make me blue.
All I want is time to spend with you.

I guess it’s no surprise
At best it’s all these lies
Still all I want in life is you right here
In the end it’s just another year.

The snow’s getting greener;
My thoughts getting meaner. 
Too much cheer can make me blue.
All I want is time to spend with you.
All I want in life is you right here.
In the end it’s just another year.

Just Another Year (demo)

music and lyrics by Eddie Bean (2017)

better back up your "hippie" music before this becomes the only song playing on State Radio & TV.  

Every day's a weekend in Trump's America
Every day's a weekend for you and me 
Every day's a weekend in Trump's America
So much to do, just wait and see...

Every Day's A Weekend (in Trump's America)

Music and lyrics by Eddie Bean (2017)

Uh-oh
Uh-oh

Every time he sounds, every time he sounds
The lost are found
Looking through the rose
They creep out of the shadows

Anywhere he goes, anywhere he goes
He always knows 
How to reach the heart
Salvation’s bound to start

Uh-oh
Uh-oh 

Turn off the world, turn off the world
Shades are furled
Nothing else to see 
Just a cult of personality

Wire to my mind, wire to my mind
(So please be kind)
With reality
A welcome cult of personality 

Uh-oh
Uh-oh
