The loss. The lack . And the way dreams help facing the pain.
To my father 

You will not have 

It is true that time has passed
the wound slowly closed 
this scar close to my heart
that reminds me day after day 
how much the lack does not weaken 
how much love is still there 

these pieces of film in my memory
these old photos, in a drawer
a resemblance in the mirror
our beautiful years that pass without you 
will surely never leave
no room for oblivion or peace 

you will not have, so many things and so many moments 
you will not have, so many winters and so many springs 
you will not have, so many laughs and so many feelings
you will not have known the love of our children

it happens to me, sometimes in a dream 
to redo everything in my own way 
to flee from reality, just to say NO to it 
and in the sweetness of my sleep 
I gently cut the threads of time 
I walk close to you 
you see, I am ten years old 

you will not have, so many things and so many moments 
you will not have, so many winters and so many springs 
you won't have, so many laughs and so many feelings
you will not have known the love of our children

Flying Chocolate Take2

I started with an image of my grand daughter on her roller skates and thought about the feeling of freedom on those skates.  Then I drew on some memories from childhood, a class mate who went AWOL with a rock n roll band, which at the time I though was really exciting.  I've mixed reality and fantasy and created a song about looking back at life, the things we did and didn't do.  I've layered up the sound using Audacity and a Roland Duo-Capture Ex interface, my Yamaha P - 121 digital piano and SM 58 mic.  Sorry about the gap at the start, this is the first time I've used a metronome to try and keep to time and the first track had a couple of intro notes, but I deleted it as I didn't like the sound.  Unfortunately I don't know how to edit the first few seconds out.  The painting is an old one of mine,  I think it reflects the song to an extent.  Thank you for listening and I welcome your feedback as always.  I've tried to use techniques that came from this lovely SC community and I'm very grateful.

Don't be sad    
Don't be shy    
Don't give yourself to every guy

Don't be hard 
Don't be small            
Don't be anything at all

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But there's one thing 
I won't be me!

Don't be weak   
Do what's right   
Don't stay out too late at night

Don't be fat 
Don't be lazy  
Keep your mouth shut 
Don't act crazy

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But just one thing 
I won't be me!

Time will tell if you destroyed me
Or just simply took my joy
Could it be that I annoy you
Or did you wish you had a boy?

Don't be me
Just be them
Satisfy their every whim

Don't be real,
Don’t be ferocious
Don't reveal my real emotions

Okay Mom I won't
Okay Dad I'll be
Your nice little girl
But just one thing
I won’t be me!

Okay I Won't  -with Jonathan Beckenstein

After a longer break I needed some inspiration from Cecilia again and I remixed one of her great songs. This time I worked with some finished funky guitar loops, but I also recorded a few tracks myself. You can hardly hear it. Maybe that's better 😄. It's not a masterpiece, but I really wanted to get back into SC. It's good therapy in these crazy times.

DayByDay

This world we live in 
With all the good and the bad
The sane and the crazies
The happy and sad

What we all have in common
Like the nose on our face
Is we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

So be who you are
And not who you’re not
Cause if you are who you’re not
Well then you’re missing a lot
And try to be 
Each and every day
The best you can in every way

Well it’s not always easy
No it’s not always fair
As we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

Solo

Revelations explode into colourful fireworks
As our atoms mingle with the stars and the universe

The past is remembered 
The future untold
As we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

So be who you are
And not who you’re not
Cause if you are who you’re not
Well then you’re missing a lot
And try to be 
Each and every day
The best you can in every way

Well this world that we live in 
With all the good and the bad
The sane and the crazies
The happy and sad

What we all have in common
Like the nose on our face
Is we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by
Yes we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

DayByDay

The Wizard Of Oz - We're Off To See The Wizard - Three Variations

This is the first movement of my Sinfonietta for Strings.This is a revised version. I have already published the other 3 movements that you can listening in Soundcloud. This work was published here eight years ago when I had very few listeners and therefore was very little heard, so I decided now to place it in the spotlight. Thank you very much to all for listen to my music.
