THE SEA WAS WATCHING US

Music, lyrics & production by Sergey Ruban

Снег, снег, снег
Падая кружится за моим окном                           
Снег, снег, белый снег
Что-то мне не спится, все мысли о былом.

А знаешь, что в детстве тот снег
Белее, желаннее, сказочней был.
А может быть мы уже стали черствее
Ведь детства корабль наш уплыл.
Как будто во сне мы живём и стареем
Но только нас снег разбудил.

Снег, снег, снег
Мне тревожит душу и ночной покой
Снег, снег, первый снег
Как же так? Тепло мне стало вдруг с тобой.

А помнишь, как тоже шёл снег
Когда нас свела той зимою судьба.
И мы словно дети, счастливые дети
Играли в снежки во дворе.
И радуясь снегу, забыв всё на свете
Встречали весну в декабре

Но время как птица летит
И снег уж не тот, как вторая любовь.
Метель заметёт те следы во дворе
Расстают былые мечты.
Но порою нам летом не хватает так снега
Чтоб просто ощутить время первой любви.
Словно выпал первый снег.

Снег

Spiralizer + John Palmer - Another Way

Campy tongue in cheek or sincere lament? Well kinda both; this was just one of those stream of consciousness snippets that was ridiculous in the onset, and I never thought it'd be something I put out there but it kept snowballing and these things end up like a dog waiting by the door silently imploring  "Let's go for a walk."   My son attended an academic conference a few weeks ago and related that an environmental scientist believes we're cooked, literally and figuratively. We may need help but I don't think it's coming. My mortal expectancy extends only to introductory portents but my kids and granddaughter can expect to see the collapse of our environment unfolding in total, irreversible clarity. OK let's go back to making fun for now.

shining so long ago
you know it should've been time to leave
and to let you go

while there's still time before
you know it could've been beautiful with all that we have here
take a look around this around this is our only home 
there's nowhere else to go

we left before these things had come to mind
and now it's all so very clear it was not your time

where is that saving grace we left behind?
the shadow remnants of a world that could have been so fine
we left the saving grace to guide you through the perils of the darkest night
now your fragile world is burning

shining so long ago
you know it should've been time to leave and to let you go
are you ready for what's coming now?
doesn't matter that you don't believe

there will never be another time to make it right
there will be no dreaming in the common night
you had your chance and then another and another
but you never could comply 
any promises you make to change your habits just another lie

wait a minute there's something here that can't be found
anywhere else in this universe on this holy ground
take a minute take an hour take a day to change your mind
can't you see your way through to help us one more time

we settled you in Atlantis we left you signs in Peru
we taught you the secrets of life on the Nile
but you never could live up to the gifts that we gave to you

heaven knows we've been blind to the lessons we were given
time after time
and if we never seem to learn don't abandon us 
when our fate is so dire

is it too much to ask to want these things to last a little longer?
take pity on the children theirs is not the fault of the fathers

We Left

trip to Thailand.
Many thanks to Julie.

Un titre Jazz inspiré d'une des très
belles photos rapportées par Julie lors d'un récent
voyage en Thaïlande.
Un grand merci à Julie.

C'est à désespérer des hommes,
Eve n'aurait jamais dû croquer la pomme,
On serait rester soi-disant sauvages,
on aurait pas vécu tous ces ravages,
cueillir les fruits du plaisir,
il y avait tant de belles histoires à écrire,
n'écouter que le son de la pluie et du vent,
sans se soucier du temps,
on aurait jamais dit c'était mieux avant,
en fixant éternellement l'instant...

I was never satisfied with the final mix and master of this track from over 3 years ago. Having learned a few tricks of the trade I revisited the mix and made quite a few changes involving selective limiting on some stems, saturation, upwards compression, cleaning up the drums, rebalancing of some of the levels, fixing the vocals, eliminating a superfluous synth and probably more that I can't remember. I decided to relaunch the track as I think there is a huge difference.

A rueful look back at what might have been.....if only.

IF ONLY

If only you could see through my eyes
If only I could find just one more way
If only we could go back in time
If the two of us didn’t feel so lonely
If only could be sublime

And I will never forget
I remember your tender embrace
I miss gazing into your eyes
I miss hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Feeling your love 

And yet
There’s so much more
Why I walked out that door
I can’t ever forget
Lying on my back 
On a cold floor

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If we could get back to just having fun
If everything could be undone
If we could live on regret
If the two of us, had never met
If no-one had to run

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

I pray from Monday to Sunday
I pray for both of our souls
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If Only

Oceanic Musique – Breach of the Whales
April 2023
Duration: 3:50
Listen to the Oceanic Musique Playlist https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/oceanic-musique
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the fish, marine mammals, birds and crustacean sound libraries used to compose this piece.

Breaching is one of the most spectacular things you can see while on a whale watch. Whale watchers and scientists alike have often wondered why whales sometimes engage in this most impressive and acrobatic of all whale behaviors. In this spectacular display of athletic prowess, the whale will dive beneath the surface for a few seconds or minutes only to surface vertically with great speed. Often the animal will twist while in mid-air and then come crashing down with thunderous splash.  While all whales have the ability to breach, none do it as often as the Humpback Whale.  But why do they breach?  Some of the main theories are as follows.  Removal of parasites: whales breach to help rid themselves of parasites.  Humpback Whales especially, sometimes carry a variety of external (as well as internal) parasites that may cause itching and irritation to their sensitive skin.  Aid of digestion: whales may breach to help move food along in their digestive tract, a whale might consume over 1 ton of fish every day!  Just of fun: Certainly in the case of young calves breaching could very often just be for fun! Young whales, just like the young of any mammal, do have a keen sense of play which is actually quite important for exercising growing bones and muscles, as well as building body awareness and coordination. Communication: perhaps the most widely accepted theory of whale surface activity, however, is that it is  a non-vocal form of communication among each other.

For violin, piccolo, bamboo flute, oboe d'Amore, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, french horn, tuba harp, whales, dolphins, seagulls, fish, and crustacean recordings, virtual instruments and percussion.

Oceanic Musique - Breach Of The Whales

Lyrics:-
What matters to you
Doesn't matter to me
What matters to me
Doesn't matter to you

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the girl in her room
To the man on the street
From the man in the moon
To Police on the beat

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the Farmers who toil
To the City bank boys
From the kettles that boil
To the kids with their toys

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the media pundits
To the teachers at school
From alternative trumpets
To the stubborn old mule

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree
