Superbe! Le choeur, le violon, tout sonne parfait...

Hello Gérald, a truly extraordinary piece of your compositional work. It shows a completely different side of your artistry. I'm fascinated by the solo violin—no piano—very profound. And right at the point where I commented, I'm particularly taken with the harmony and instrumentation. Bravo.

Encore un magnifique travail mon cher Gégé 🙏. Par contre le tag "Alternative Rock", kesako ?  😂🤣

Comme c'est beau ! les violons sont superbe et l'orchestration magnifique !

Great work‼️ This track has epic vibes...

Absolument splendide, c'est ennivrant, subtil et harmonieux à souhaits. Toujours un plaisir de venir écouter les créations d'un talentueux compositeur et musicien comme toi Gérald, bravo!

She Loves the Rain

Oh she loves the rain 
She stands in bare feet 
How she loves the rain 
She runs into the street 
Let it soak her
That heavy downpour 
It’s no joke 
It’s what she’s renown for 

She doesn’t like humidity 
She prefers to keep cool 
Feel the raindrops on her skin 
She doesn’t need validity 
To jump in the pools
Where the water’s gathering 

I love her in the rain 
That wettens her hair 
As showers fall again 
I’ll follow her there 
Of all the raindrops 
I know which I’d be 
One billion raindrops 
Those ones are lucky 

That splash upon her hands 
And onto her cheek 
The ones she catches on her tongue 
Not the ones that quench the land 
Nor fill up the creek 
Nor make rainbows with the sun

Of all the raindrops that must have fallen 
In darkening blooms on paving stones 
Or pointlessly into the ocean deep 
Or dripping from the eyelashes 
Of rain lashed North Sea fishermen 
Or hiding lonely tears when someone weeps 

Or swished by windscreen wipers 
From cars speeding towards maternity wards 
Or bouncing down from leaf to heavy leaf 
Or running in silver rivers 
Down umbrellas held over elderly lovers 
When they kiss as if they’re teenagers beneath 

What I’d be is those
That fall down upon her feet 

Oh she loves the rain

■概要(Overview)
勇気を出して気持ちを伝えてみよう！・・そんな感じの曲です。
長く使っているオーディオインターフェース(UA-4FX)の調子が悪いので、買い替える事になりました。この曲はUA-4FXを使って作った、最後の曲です。寂しいな。次回からは新しい機材です。
※絵はAIに描いてもらいました

Gather up the courage to express your feelings! That's the kind of song it is.
My audio interface (UA-4FX) that I've been using for a long time is malfunctioning, so I've decided to buy a new one. This is the last song I made using the UA-4FX. I'll be sad. From next time onwards, I'll be using new equipment.

■歌詞
「ちぎった今を」
冷たい冬が来る前に
積もり積もった気持ちを伝えよう

乾いたのどを潤した夏の水
空っ風に吹かれ消えてしまうさ
泳ぎ切った日の事は遠く幻で
その人の顔も忘れてしまう

失うことは怖すぎるね
いっそ秋の風の吹く方にまかせ
上手くいかないと決まった訳じゃない
天国なのか地獄かなんか　風に聞くさ


変わってしまう景色なら
今をちぎって　届けよう気持ちを

人の気持ちはわからないさ
きっと秋の空のように変わる
立ち上がる時さ勇気ふり絞って
ちぎった今を届けたならば強くなれる

ああ　時を　巻き戻せたなら
ああ　今を　生きる　
今を・・

■Lyrics (translation)
"Before Winter Comes"
Before the cold of winter arrives,
Let me tell you the feelings you've kept buried deep.
The summer water that once soothed your thirsty throat
Will be swept away by the dry winter wind.
The day you swam through it all now feels like a distant dream,
Even that person’s face begins to fade.
Losing something is terrifying, isn’t it?
So maybe just follow the direction of the autumn breeze.
It’s not like failure is already decided—
Whether it’s heaven or hell, ask the wind.
If the scenery around you is bound to change,
Then tear off this moment and send your heart with it.
You can’t always understand someone’s feelings,
They shift like the autumn sky.
But when it’s time to rise again, summon your courage—
If you deliver that torn moment, you’ll grow stronger.
Ah, if only I could rewind time...
Ah, I’ll live this moment—
This moment...

Before Winter Comes（ちぎった今を）

Nowhere to go

Peter and Seagull reflect on what could happen, but has not happened yet, and I pray never happens if humanity ceases to be human.  The headlines would tell us we are near the brink, but daily life and interactions with everyday people tell a different story.  Hope abounds when helping hands are present, there is plenty to go around when the plenty is shared, and forgiveness can heal the deepest wounds.  None of it is easy and there are no easy answers and great effort may be required, but infinitely preferable to the despair depicted in Peter's sobering lyric poetry.  The bottom line for me is; keep the faith, with God and with each other.

Deep Inside

When your broken moral compass assaults his eternal soul
When folk apportion token fault upon what little faith I hold
When humanity has knifed itself, and hope bleeds from infernal holes
When night's arrival, day concedes, its warmth displaced by bitter Cold

When evolution's vanities lie buried deep in fossil earth
When pagan rite insanities, render cheap, their measly worth
When any good God's lessons die 'neath cloven crackled mirth
When children' hearts bear tender fear from the very instance of their birth

When the simplest of kindnesses stands blatantly denied
When respect for fellow mortal lands gutter-bound, cast aside
When the spyglass is inverted to inspect what’s deep inside
When the court of civil fortitude finds us guilty as described

When the very least of all is but the best that can be done
When portends toss and nightmares turn, and grace is on the run
When you, my friend must burn your shame, face the shadows of our sun
Then all is lost, accept the blame, for hell on earth has just begun.

Deep Inside (Seagull, Peter, David, Clara)

Rousseau Overlook is a little known bit of public land down the river from Pierre, SD.  I've always found this to be a good place to fly.  River, road, and rail all come together in a visually pleasing manner and the area always seems to have good light.

This was the first time in 2025 that the clouds actually came out to play!  A storm nearly 150 miles away was gracing the northern sky!  It was quite satisfying to film!

Clever ears will note a musical quote of the Narnia theme in the bassoon line.  As always, the Chronicles of Narnia continues to be a major source of inspiration for me.
