LYRICS: It's Not A Dream

I’ve been places   where the sky   touches the sea
I’ve been places   That calls me back   You will see

You and  I    will find our way 
You and  I    must leave today

I will take you   far from here   A  magical place   a new frontier
I will take you   by the hand     we will have   safe place to land
No compromise  no looking back    will not be   sidetracked
my sweet lady   bottle of wine   all came true   It’s so fine

You and  I    living the extreme
You and  I    no it's not a dream

It's Not A Dream

When I walk at dawn in spring through one of my usual birding areas, there is a moment when I am sorrounded by rainbow of colors and fluted trills. It is the neighborhood of the bee-eaters.
Real bee-eaters sound recorded by Patrik Aberg in Poland and Spain.

FLUTED TRILLS

"He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul"  - Psalm 23

Beside Still Waters

When night comes and you admire our starry sky, you can't help but marvel at the age of the light you see. One such evening inspired me to this song.
And to my immense joy, two of my absolute favorite guitarists, musicians and composers also wanted to share this journey with me. A big thank you for your generosity, gentlemen. ;)

Starlight - Ed Cunningham, David Dunham, Seagull

What absolute joy I have been able to experience in recent weeks by working together with these three eminent musicians, composers and producers.
Dan-DT, Ed Cunningham and David Dunham. It's the first time all four of us have collaborated and the result is "The Quietude".
I am very honored, and filled with joy!
So a very warm thank you gentlemen for your generosity and friendship. ;)

Since the theme of this song is the "inner stillness" we all need sometimes, there is also a video for this song on my youtube channel. Please watch it as it adds another dimension to these gentlemen's eminent musical abilities. ;)

Many thanks Dan for the very beautiful and appropriate track image you created!

We wish you all a moment of "inner stillness". ;)

The Quietude - Dan DT, Ed Cunningham, David Dunham, Seagull

Found an old acapella with Madame Snowflake in my folder, which means as much today as when it was written, and I thought it was time to try to give it a nice setting.
When the foundation was ready, I sent it to David Dunham and asked if he could possibly help with some of his beautiful finger-style playing. And being the gentleman that he is, he immediately plunged into the mysterious room of creation.
A couple of days later I got a couple of lovely tracks with two guitar parts. 
And now you too can share this little journey with us.

We wish you a pleasant journey. ;)

I humbly thank you David for your invaluable help and cooperation in this sweet journey. ;)

Miracles

There is too much talking
And there is nothing left to say
They say faith can move mountains
On my knees I start to pray

Too close for comfort
And too blind to see
It’s black and white, there’s no color
Something coming over me

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change we can’t remain the same

It’s a road less traveled
On a path to better times
All that glitters isn’t gold
Gotta read between the lines

Used to getting what we want
Still don’t realize what we need
We keep burning the midnight oil
Just to satisfy our greed

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change we can’t remain the same

The weight is getting heavy
Nothing ever stays the same
Evolution is the cross we bare
And the price we have to pay

When we stop our sleeping
When we finally wake
We’ll be turning water into wine
Nothing standing in our way

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change, we can’t remain the same
Miracles happen every day
What was impossible fades away

When we stop our sleeping
When we finally wake
We’ll be turning water into wine
Nothing standing in our way

Nothing Stand In Our Way -  M Snowflake - David D - Seagull

With my good friend Dan-DT, who is a master of his musical genre, and his help with his fantastic strings, choirs, piano and not least Clara's beautiful voice to lift this little observation of fairies in the first light of the morning into something that became magical . ;)

Try to feel, experience and see this in front of you.....
When you went out into the morning light in the forest you love to walk in to find serenity, stillness and quietude, you suddenly heard quiet music, and after a few more steps, you saw them dancing and singing there in a clearing in the shimmering morning light. 
The fairies. ;)

To sit down in the soft moss and experience the joy and love they gave you with their music, dance and song, above all the beauty we are surrounded by in our world, and to bring their world into your mind, was an otherworldly experience. And a very strong realization that our earth is the only home we have, and it is our children's future. ;)

My warmest thanks to you Dan, for your friendship, and your magical musicality. You are very much appreciated in my world my friend!

Fairies Morning Light - Dan-DT & Seagull

This song is called Stairway, and I realized that in my mind it reflects everyone's climb in life. We are encouraged and taught from birth that we must constantly get better at everything.
Better upbringing, Better behavior, Better education, Better job, Better pay, Better things, Better health, Better parent, Better home, Better car and so on.........in our endless climbing in the stairway of life, where unfortunately far too many go straight into the wall, and life comes to a screeching halt.
But what is the real goal of all this striving?

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with education hopefully producing better and more understanding and empathetic people, and a safer and nicer society. But.....and I think it's a big but.... as we are obviously being trained to buy..... all the happiness we need in life........ instead of experiencing it in a peaceful, healthy and experiential life........and at the same time we fill the pockets of a few, with what has unfortunately been given the main role as happiness......money and power...........Hmmmm.  ;)

David Dunham, with his great skill and absolutely brilliant acoustic guitar playing, has given me his much-appreciated participation in this little journey into the world of contemplation.
It is also David's final mix and mastering of the song after his recording of the guitars you hear. When I heard his mix I realized that there was nothing I could add to a very excellent work. ;)
So a big warm thank you my friend!

We wish you all a few peaceful minutes. ;)

Stairway - David Dunham & Seagull

Peter gave me an opportunity to work a little on one of my favorite songs he's done. Dan-DT has also participated with his ideas with Clara, synths and atmosphere.
Many warm thanks Peter, for your generosity, friendship and always cheerful disposition.

Have a lovely journey ;)

Ticking

Ticking down the time.
Nowhere at the speed of light,
Nothing in my mind.
A dream of futures past.
Precious in my heart,
But it never came to pass.
Rearranged all my drawers of memory's worn out socks,
Corrected all my broken lifetime's kitchen clocks.
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Backwards at the speed of life,
Burdened in my mind.
Who stole it all away?
The clarity of thought
That defined me yesterday.
Dusted all the volumes on my memory's shelf,
Time-lapsed photographic of my former self.
Just ticking down the time.

Tomorrow calls in shades of black,
I swear these walls are staring back,
We waltz our falls in spiral mime,
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Lights out on the road ahead,
Fog came down behind.
Ready to anoint
The corpse of a life history
Shrivelled to a point.
JPEG'd out the detail of the smiling years,
Algorithmically compressed into this room of tears,
Where I'm just ticking down the time.

Ticking - Peter, Dan-DT & Seagull
