Jaime J Ross with Endless Night - Walk on By

So this is love 
Is this love 
Could this be love 
So this is love

Showing me her locket
A little trinket
Inscribed said Bowie
And the lights of aurora
Were pushing and flowing
And her own magnetic aura
Had me drawn into the warmth that's purely hers

The conversations flowing
And the friendships were surreal
It was a captivating night
With a mystical feel
And everybody's casual charm was shining beyond the endless celestial field

So this is love (Let me bottle up and keep)
Is this love (It's not for sale, nor is it cheap)
Could this be love (Capturing pure essence and shining like rain upon the heart)

I've got a picture perfect prefix
Of a culinary design
Like a painting or a portrait
That's deservedly divine
And through the corridors and listening walls the neighbours hollow
silence from their dorm

There's a nonchalant approach
But the laughter still continues
For it's after one in the morning
But this party must continue
So we head out to the bar where the ladyboy's working for their dimes

So this is love (They're only in it for the cash)
Is this love (Am I required to react)
Could this be love ( It's not my cuppa tea, displeased by an amorous decree)

So this is love (Well let me bottle up to keep)
Is this love (It's not for sale, nor is it cheap)
Could this be love (Capturing pure essence And shining like rain upon the heart)

Heavenly spellbound above

Got a picture perfect prefix of a culinary design
Like a painting or a portrait that's deservedly divine
And through the corridors and listening walls the neighbours hollow silence from their dorm
The conversations flowing and the friendships were surreal It was a captivating night with a mystical feel
And everybody's casual charm was shining beyond the endless celestial field

So this is love 
Is this love 
Could this be love 
So this is love
So this is love 
Is this love 
Could this be love 
So this is love 
So this is love

Spellbound

When you love somebody 
When you love someone 
When you need somebody 
When your needs too much

The way you're running around 
Reckless and bored
This insatiable appetite 
Urging you on
You can't take anymore

The party's all night
There's dancing through to daylight 
But that don't cure your urge nor stitch 
Not always black and white

When the taste is sweeter
Where the fields look greener
You can taste that honey, 
unquestionably hungry 
You dip your finger

When the phase was rad
But the phrase is crass
You look out of place 
and you're lost in this race 
Ain't getting it back

The party's all night
There's dancing through to daylight 
Tequila shots, the fun don't stop 
Crawling beyond now midnight

The party's all night
To music beyond the red lights
But that don't cure your urge nor stitch 
Not always black and white

You crave and hunger 
For more than you can bite 
Burning out at both ends 
Won't resurrect this night 
Cash you chips
Your final hand 
Don't play the jesters fool 
The wheel has turned 
Things slightly grey 
Heating you up tonight

The party's all night 
There's dancing through to daylight 
Peering through the looking glass 
Crawling towards the final stance

The party's all night
To music beyond the red lights
But that don't cure your urge nor stitch 
Not always black and white
Not always black and white (On a hot summers night) 
Not always black and white (On a hot summers night) 
Not always black and white (On a hot summers night) 
Not always black and white (On a hot summers night)

Track from the Album "Free Spirit"

The Lammergeier or popularly known as Bearded Vulture or Bone Breaker is one of the most powerful birds of prey. With a whopping wingspan of 7 to 9 feet(2.31 - 2.83 m) they sore high around 3000 feet(1000m) and keeps an eye for food.

Lammergeier is a close relative of the Egyptian Vulture.

The Lammergeier has learned to crack bones too large to be swallowed by carrying them up to a height and then dropping them onto rocks below, smashing them into smaller pieces and exposing the nutritious marrow.

This learned skill requires extensive practice by immature birds and takes up to seven years to master.

LYRICS

Its disintegration
You can’t find the nation
To get to the station
Where all`re the same
If you stay for a second more, 
You forget what you came for
The spiral of silence
Involves in game

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe
We are not in state of war
One for lies and two for wake
Now you drive with parking brake
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe
Stay for just a second more
R for road and B for break
Never supposed to use my time for putting you awake

Embrace the one who`s there
Retrace the one who`s out
Abusive screams will draw the pictures of conviction
No, you couldn’t save them all
You failed your title role
Elusive dreams will draw the pictures of conviction 

(Right now I go down
To see what`s in there right now
What kind is that mind? 
Track or deny that mind) *2

Give me answers, fix my brake
Tell if there is some mistake

Right now I go down
To see what`s in there right now

It is integration
You have found your nation
You got to the station
Where all the same
But If you stay for a second more, 
You'll forget what you came for
The spiral of silence
Inertial frame

The Spiral Of Silence (feat. Matt Letley of STATUS QUO)

Truly loved this piece composed by http://soundcloud.com/stephan-beneking and thought I'd give it a try and play myself :) Though, it was rather short and I felt like I want to make it a little bit longer so I took the liberty of improvising on the theme.

Petit reve bizarre #14 by Stephan Beneking - Variation on the theme by Milana

There was a long story behind this cover :) Steve offered to sing it together about a month ago but then lots of stuff happened, bad and good, and finally here is the result of hard work of four people :)
Thank you Steve for offering this and singing it with me!
Thank you Dave for adding your magical sax and redoing my dilettantish bass line :))
... well, thank you Arty for mixing it together :P

I was asked by Chris (@nu-ionmusic) if I can sing this song for him about a week ago but because of the accident with my son I didn't really have much time for collaborations. So, today I got some time to sing some collabs but  saw a lovely version sung by @emma-shanley :). I asked Chris if he still wants me to sing another version of the same song and got his approval. So here it is, something unusual for me :)

Long goodbye - nu-ionmusic (music, lyrics), Milana (vocal)

Bridge Over Troubled Water (Milana Zilnik piano: Simon & Garfunkel cover)

When Andreas (http://soundcloud.com/Shoemansky) wrote me and asked if I am open for a collaboration it was like a big "wow" cause I'm a huge fan of his songs! So we chose the motif of one of my piano improvisations for the start (http://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/on-the-other-side-milana) and used the words I wrote myself when I was thinking to turn that impro into a song. And here is the result :)

-----------
You lay and wonder, if it is the end, 
And if there is a way  to escape this ending... 
Your tried your best, you made your final stand... 
An empty heart can't deal with no more pain!

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

On the other side.... on the other side there is hope, there is light..
Can we make it?

I search the ruins for survivals left. 
The grief is burning, but the fear is freezing. 
I'm scared to death to meet the living dead.
These dead are us, if we're afraid of living.

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

Burn this place, it can be saved by light. 
I rip and crash, until my hands are bleeding. 
If words were blades then I could win this fight, 
But all that's left in me is leaving, leaving...

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

Is it the end - Milana (lyrics, vox, piano), Shoemansky (vox, arrangement, prod.)

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.

Well, good day everyone, I have not been here for some time and am truly humbled to see the plays steadily racking up. Thank you for listening and liking 😎.  

I intend to upload a lot of new music, having recorded some 14 new albums of material and remixed a lot of my older tunes. Just finished a concept based on the life and death of Robert Johnson so will feature some of that as well. Plus my first solo rock album 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😎
