In a world where power and money rules…what is a life worth…

War & Peace

Two years ago me and my son went to the beautiful city of Lisbon. I do hope I get to go there soon again and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, people, music, food, narrow streets and beautiful buildings.

Yesterday I started my small tribute to the lovely city, I finished it today and hope you will enjoy the listen.

Hi there and welcome to my 2024 Christmas release, 'Winter Wonderland'. Composed as a special Christmas gift to everyone involved in Music For Brains project.

I am so immensely proud to nearing the end of my third year as the composer for this special project and hope that this track will bring special Seasons greetings to all.

For me, this track conjures up the magical energy of this time of year, the busy towns and Christmas markets. Families and friends of all ages coming together to spend time together, either before or during the Christmas holidays. The excitement of children looking forward to their toys and family games. The joy of grandparents being surrounded by their family celebrating special times past and present. A time of year when we can give praise for what we have and spare a thought or some time and charity helping those less fortunate. The hope and prayers for peace and harmony in a world that seems to be blighted with conflict.

I hope this track brings you some special thoughts and perhaps a moment to rest and reflect upon your own feelings.

Composer: Matt Baker
All Instruments: Matt Baker

Comments and feedback most welcome.

Wishing you a special Christmas and all the very best for 2025!

Love, Peace & Respect

Hi there and welcome to my latest release, 'Together this Christmas'

Every year I always enjoy writing a new Christmas song and this year opted for a song about being apart from some you love.

Lyrics: Matt Baker
Composition: Matt Baker
All Instruments: Matt Baker
Arrangement: Matt Baker
Producer: Matt Baker

(Verse 1)
Snowflakes falling, the world is aglow,
But my heart feels heavy, it’s missing you so.
The lights are shining, the carollers sing,
Yet all I feel is longing, for what this season brings.

(Chorus)
we can't be together this Christmas time
You’re here in my heart, where you’ll stay for all time.
Through all the laughter and the through cheer,
In every moment I pray you were here

(Verse 2)
The tree lights are shining, the fire’s aglow,
But lost in the laughter, I’m missing you so 
I’ll toast to the memories, with a glass raised high,
Wish on a star, as I gaze at the sky.

(Chorus)
we can't be together this Christmas time
You’re here in my heart, where you’ll stay for all time.
Through all the laughter and the through cheer,
In every moment I pray you were here

(Bridge)
when the carollers call,
I will sing to them all.
And remember days long ago
And as the snow falls
I’ll forget my blues
Rejoice in my memories of you

(Chorus)
we can't be together this Christmas time
You’re here in my heart, where you’ll stay for all time.
Through all the laughter and the through cheer,
In every moment I pray you were here

Thanks for listening, comments and feedback welcome

Here's to a wish that 2025 will bring peace to all
Merry Christmas to one and all
Peace Love and Respect!

All the best for now

Matt


Together this Christmas - Matt Baker

Project RESIDUE (Sleeping Though the Good Parts)

Si les plus beaux paysages sont au-dessus de la ligne d’horizon chaque continent a son génie du ciel ....  Le ciel change chaque jour et imprime d’imperceptibles nuances grâce à ses nuages aux mille et une formes. Tout ciel nuageux en forme de gaze longiforme donnent cette « mélancolique lessive d’or du couchant » dont parlait si bien Rimbaud .... La fin d'été approche et nous pouvons observer maintenant un ciel plein de gros nuages blancs et aux nuances de gris, bourgeonnants, rembourrés, cotonneux, mais aussi lumineux comme des lampes au reflets lactescent …. 
J'ai essayé d'être représentatif de ce phénomène avec les nuances harmoniques de ce concept ….

**************************************************************************************************************************
 
If the most beautiful landscapes are above the horizon line each continent has its genius in the sky .... The sky changes every day and prints imperceptible nuances thanks to its clouds with a thousand and one shape. All cloudy sky in the shape of a long gauze give this "melancholic laundry of the sunset" of which Rimbaud spoke so well .... The end of summer is approaching and we can now observe a sky full of large white clouds and shades of gray, budding, padded, cottony, but also luminous like lamps with lactscent reflections …. I tried to be representative of this phenomenon with the harmonic nuances of this concept ....

Towards The Clouds ....

Most people consider life a battle,
But it is not a battle,
It is a game.
 It is a game,
however, which cannot be played successfully
Without the knowledge of spiritual law

Game, Law; Game, Law
Game, Law; Game, Law

The old and the New Testaments
Give the rules of the game
With wonderful clrearness

What you gives, you will receive

Jesus Christ taught that
It was a great game of
Giving and Receiving

Whatsoever a man soweth
That shall he also reap

Soweth... reap...
Soweth... reap...

This means that whatever man
Sends out in word or
Deed, will return to him

What he gives, he will receive

If he gives hate
He will receive hate
If he gives love
He will receive love
If he gives criticism
He will receive criticism
If he lies
He will be lied to
If he cheats
He will be cheated

Give and receive
Sow and reap
Circle complete
Circle complete

We are thought also
That the imaging faculty plays
A leading part in the
Game of life.

This means that what man images
Sooner or later externalises
in his affairs

To play successfully
the game of life
We must train the imaging faculty

A person with an imaging faculty
Trained to image only good
Brings into his life
Every righteous desire of his heart

Health, wealth, love, friends
Perfect self expression
His highest ideals.

Game, Law
Sow and reap
Give and receive
Image the good
And it shall be
Game of Life
Sets spirit free

The Game

I feel rich
Wealth flows to me
Prosperity surrounds me
I open up my heart
I open up my mind
Abundance is my essence
There's more than enough to find
Every thought a seed of gold
Every breath a gift divine
I'm calling in the riches
I let my spirit shine
The universe provides me
With endless love and care
My path to wealth expands
With every single prayer
My focus is a beacon
Drawing fortune close to me
I'm tuning in to
Limitless prosperity
The gates of wealth swing wide
Inviting me within
A new chapter of abundance
Ready to begin
I am rich
I feel rich
My soul aligned
My heart uplifted
Money and riches
I start to accumulate
Wealth speeds up
It resonates
I am rich
I feel rich
My thoughts in flow
My life unlimited
Simply focusing on
Being rich
And I become it
I become it
Blessed and grateful
I receive
Everything I can conceive
I see the doors swing open
I see the pathways clear
Every opportunity
Every blessing I revere
Gratitude in every moment
Gratitude sets me free
I claim success and plenty
I welcome my victory
The seeds of wealth are planted
Deep within my soul
Each day brings new abundance
Making my life whole
My focus is a magnet
Pulling abundance near
I trust the law of giving
Receiving without fear
Divine timing guides me
To prosperity's embrace
As blessings flow towards me
With perfect grace
Om… abundant universe
Hear my call
Namaste to riches
I welcome them all
Hallelujah to blessings
hallelujah to grace
I stand in my power
I stand in this place
Sacred wealth flows
Through my veins
Infinite abundance
Now remains
Divine prosperity shows the way
As I embrace this blessed day
I attract wealth
Wealth speeds up
To become me
I am wealth
I am success
Abundance flows naturally
Every breath brings
More prosperity
Wealth flows
wealth grows
I am rich
I become rich
Success flows
love grows
I am blessed
I am prosperous

Money and Riches

Project RESIDUE (Abigalle at the Window)

[French]

[Couplet 1 – très doux, intime]
Dans l’ombre de la lune, je cherche ton visage,
Un souvenir qui tremble au bord de mes regrets.
La nuit respire encore ton dernier doux passage,
Et mon cœur se soulève, sans savoir où aller.

[Pré-refrain – crescendo léger]
Chaque souffle dans l’air murmure ton nom,
Comme un fragile serment perdu dans le vent.

[Refrain – large, passionné]
Reviens, ô lumière, brise mon silence noir,
Emporte mon âme vers l’éclat de ton espoir.
Dans ce ciel qui vacille, je t’appelle encore,
Toi, l’étoile qui guide mes nuits jusqu’à l’aurore.

[Couplet 2 – plus sombre, dramatique]
Je marche dans les ombres, prisonnier du délice
D’un amour qui s’enflamme, puis soudain disparaît.
Ton absence me hante comme un tendre supplice,
Un feu qui me dévore et jamais ne s’arrêtait.

[Pré-refrain – plus intense]
Ton souvenir me tient, m’enchaîne à son éclat,
Et ma voix, dans la nuit, ne chante que pour toi.

[Refrain – encore plus large et puissant]
Reviens, ô lumière, brise mon silence noir,
Emporte mon âme vers l’éclat de ton espoir.
Dans ce ciel qui vacille, je t’appelle encore,
Toi, l’étoile qui guide mes nuits jusqu’à l’aurore.

[Pont – tempête émotionnelle]
Si je tombe dans l’abîme, entends ma prière,
Chaque battement du cœur te réclame, te veut.
Même au bord de la nuit, même dans la poussière,
Je suivrai ton éclat, éternel, merveilleux.

[Refrain final – plus lent, fragile, apaisé]
Reviens, douce lumière, apaise mon cœur obscur,
Et porte mon âme vers un monde plus pur.
Dans le souffle du soir, je t’appelle encore,
Toi, l’étoile éternelle… ma nuit, mon aurore.

[English translation]

[Verse 1 – very soft, intimate]
In the shadow of the moon, I search for your face,
A trembling memory at the edge of my regrets.
The night still breathes your last gentle trace,
And my heart rises, not knowing where to go.

[Pre-Chorus – light crescendo]
Every breath in the air whispers your name,
Like a fragile promise lost in the wind.

[Chorus – broad, passionate]
Return, O light, break my silent night,
Carry my soul toward the glow of your hope.
In this wavering sky, I call to you again,
You, the star that guides my nights toward the dawn.

[Verse 2 – darker, dramatic]
I walk through the shadows, prisoner of the delight
Of a love that burns bright, then suddenly fades.
Your absence haunts me like a tender torment,
A fire devouring me that never stops.

[Pre-Chorus – more intense]
Your memory holds me, binds me to its gleam,
And my voice, in the night, sings only for you.

[Chorus – even broader and more powerful]
Return, O light, break my silent night,
Carry my soul toward the glow of your hope.
In this wavering sky, I call to you again,
You, the star that guides my nights toward the dawn.

[Bridge – emotional storm]
If I fall into the abyss, hear my prayer,
Every beat of my heart calls for you, longs for you.
Even at night’s edge, even in the dust,
I will follow your radiance, eternal, wondrous.

[Final Chorus – slower, fragile, at peace]
Return, gentle light, soothe my shadowed heart,
And carry my soul toward a purer world.
In the breath of evening, I call to you again,
You, the eternal star… my night, my dawn.
