TESTO

Se sei il solo a credere in te stesso
Almeno è già qualcuno
È già una gran fortuna
E non guardare loro
Quei numeri uno
Che se poi vai ad indagare
Sono dei signor nessuno


Hanno tutti un bel lavoro
Lo stipendio, la casa nuova
Ma quelle sono solo foto 
E tu la vittima del gioco

Ma la vita non è così 
È togliere, è scegliere
Non avere neanche il tempo per giudicare

Ma la vita non è così
È trasformare il dolore
Cercare la leggerezza 
E lasciarti scivolare 



Se hai capito solo adesso
Almeno è già qualcosa
È una bella conquista
Puoi già guardarti indietro 



Ma non guardare loro
Lavora su te stesso
Risparmia le energie 
Buttati più spesso


E la vita è così 
Non c’è niente da fare
È fare quello che ti piace

È dormire tutto il giorno
Toccando il vuoto 
Ma finire sempre con la chitarra in mano 


È trasformare il dolore
Cercare la leggerezza 
E lasciarti scivolare

LYRICS

If you are the only one who believes in yourself
At least there's someone
That's already a great fortune
And don't look at them
Those number ones
Because if you investigate
They are nobody special

They all have a nice job
The salary, the new house
But those are just pictures
And you're the victim of the game

But life isn't like that
It's about taking away, choosing
Not even having time to judge

But life isn't like that
It's about transforming the pain
Seeking lightness
And letting yourself slide

If you've only understood now
At least it's something
It's a nice achievement
You can already look back

But don't look at them
Work on yourself
Save your energy
Throw yourself more often

And life is like that
There's nothing to be done
It's doing what you like

It's sleeping all day
Touching the void
But always ending up with the guitar in hand

It's about transforming the pain
Seeking lightness
And letting yourself slide

„Die Tasten die ich liebe” Teil IV. (11.12.2023 )

Die Kraft der Musik.
Ich habe es bewusst Pianomeditationen genannt. Zart und mitfühlend.
Wenn auch andere Instrumente begleitend mitwirken.
Hier also die Fortsetzung meiner Klangresonanzreise mit diesem vierten Teil der Pianomeditationen.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe“ Teil III. könnt Ihr unter diesem Link anhören:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-iii

Klaviermusik einmal anders arrangiert mit zarten umwobenen Klangformen. 
Das Klavier bleibt immer noch Vordergrund der Komposition.
Jedes Klavier hat seine eigene Mystik und Klang. 
Sich auf den Klang einlassen und intensiv hineinhören ist gleichermaßen auch eine meditative Fokussierung auf die Musik.
Den Klängen folgen, nicht mehr denken. Nur auf sich selbst zu konzentrieren und entspannen. 
Musik ist heilsam für Menschen. 

Ich habe frei von allen Mustern der Klanggestaltung mich von den Klängen inspiriert leiten lassen. 
Improvisiert, mich dem Gefühl jeder Taste die einen Ton erzeugt hingegeben.
Ohne auf einen richtigen oder falschen Ton zu achten.
Denn eigentlich gibt es keinen falschen Ton. Alles ist Klang.
Ich komponiere nicht, ich werde komponiert.
Das Leben ist eine Komposition.

Jeder Körper ist anders und hat unterschiedliche Schwingungen.

So mit starte ich eine musikalische Reise mit den Tasten die ich liebe.
Eine Klaviermeditation zur Entspannung, zur Erholung, zur Heilung unserer Klangkörper.

Ich wünsche Euch liebevolle, beruhigende und entspannte Klangmomente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“The keys I love” Part IV. (December 11, 2023)

The power of music.
I deliberately called it piano meditations. Tender and compassionate.
If other instruments also contribute.
So here is the continuation of my sound resonance journey with this fourth part of the piano meditations.

“The Keys I Love” Part III. you can listen at this link:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-iii

Piano music arranged in a different way with delicate, interwoven sound forms.
The piano still remains at the forefront of the composition.
Every piano has its own mystique and sound.
Getting involved with the sound and listening intensively is also a meditative focus on the music.
Follow the sounds, stop thinking. Just concentrate on yourself and relax.
Music is healing for people.

Free from all patterns of sound design, I let myself be inspired by the sounds.
Improvised, surrendering to the feeling of every key producing a sound.
Without paying attention to a right or wrong tone.
Because there is actually no wrong tone. Everything is sound.
I don't compose, I am composed.
Life is a composition.

Every body is different and has different vibrations.

So I'm starting a musical journey with the keys I love.
A piano meditation for relaxation, recovery, and healing of our sound bodies.

I wish you loving, calming and relaxed sound moments.

Thank you for your valued attention.
