Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean
I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think…

(C) Lennon/Mc Cartney

Michelle (cover - Rivas/Welin/Steen)

It seems to me that many people these days make more effort to separate themselves from others than to compare themselves with others. Both are triggers for unhappiness, in my opinion, but it's something more than that.

This song has very few bass parts. Most parts use an 8-string guitar. This is the result of avoiding the competition between the bass and the area of existence. I did slaps, thumbs, tapping, and all sorts of other things. It took me a long time to finish the song because there were so many parts I had to practice and I had tendonitis....hahahaha

lyrics

Only those who are allowed to exist are allowed to exist in this town.
Those that are not will be eliminated from existence.
I am forgotten by time.
I distanced myself from you.

Who would need me?
Who will look at me?
There is no one alive in this world.
Only cold nights and attacks will come.

A whale as cold as blue steel is looking at me.
He says if he's tired of me then he can be done with it.
But I am not mine.
What about my family? What about my elderly parents?
I can't finish it on my own.

My consciousness fades away.
Many diseases are eating away at my organs.
But I won't be allowed to die for another ten years.
I have to be there for my family.

Who would need me?
Who will look at me?
There is no one alive in this world.
Only cold nights and attacks will come.

Every morning we are transported on a crammed train.
Someone steps on my foot. I also push someone away.
Someone please carry me to that distant castle.
someone please help me
Soldiers who cannot fight are carried away.
Where are they going?

Those No Longer Needed

A dreamy summers night
Sat to watch the sundown
Our reflections on the river
And your scent that filled the air

A shimmer of light that’s breaks
A perfect summers day
Dry Golden fields of hay

Here’s your moonless sky
And hovering dragonflies
They form deceptive lines

As common thieves they stole
Our reflections and our souls
As water now fills the air

In the field we both look up 
I think I once understood 
The way you move your frame

As the rain comes down
You glide to the centre and 
The field begins to flood

Do you remember
me calling out your name
When I saw you dancing in the summer rain

Do you remember
How bolero in your veins 
Made you sway and hypnotise the summer rain

A dreamless summers night
Back against the window
The gentle of the wind 
But echoes stir the dark

Low level drifting fog
And crickets ticking clocks
Deceive the barley stems

Your stretching out your arms
And moving into a calm
Emotional refrain 

Surrendering your frame
You move to centre stage
Embraced by the fields dark arts

Do you remember
Me calling out your name
When I saw you dancing in the summer rain

Do you remember
How fandango in your veins 
Made you sway and hypnotise the summer rain

A dreamless fairytale 
Tracks across the corn field 
Remising all lost chances 
To waltz with you once more

The banks begin to shake
Just before the river breaks
In slow motion it overflows 

A cracked blacked summer sky
Migrating dragonflies
Avoid the storm crashing down

You still created moves
To the rhythm while I sang to you
In the barley field that now floods

Do you remember
me calling out your name
When I saw you dancing in the summer rain

Do you remember
How calypso in your veins 
Made you sway and hypnotise the summer rain

And I still remember your scent as we move through September
the feeling of refrain, the feeling of surrender 
A cold frost on the window now
as I let go of the summer sun 
and remiss as the Barley Field floods

A Second Demo Collection

As The Barley Field Floods (Demo)

Hello my Friends :)

This is my new Track "Now and Always". It all started with the inspiration from the piece "Our World" by Audiomachine but it really evolved into a different direction, which isn't a bad thing after all 🙂.

Personally i especially like the last section, which gives me exactly the nostalgic feeling i wanted to create :-)

I hope you like it !

Have a wonderful day.

Marcel 

- Now and always bound,
Time's fleeting whispers, profound,
Love's eternal sound.-

Now and Always

I love abandoned places burning in the sun and the desolation of passing time.

Oatie The Ghost

This song is part of our album, The Windmill of the Year, and it represents the Autumn Equinox. The bardic purpose of this ancient Celtic mythic tale about the rescue of Mabon was to illustrate the importance of the Animal Spirits, and their long memories, to the shaman who goes to them for guidance in the Underworld. 

This originally orally-conveyed yarn was drawn in the constellations of the polar stars, and it's entitled How Culhwch Won Olwen. It’s also the earliest Celtic myth featuring Arthur Pendragon.

Our hero Culhwch (Hercules) was born in a pig pen and raised by sows, but he eventually went on to win the hand of the beautiful princess Olwen (Ursa Minor or Little Bear), who had been kept from him by her ogre father Yspaddaden (Draco).

However, like all heroes that make their epic rite-of-passage journey around Merlin’s Round Table of the Stars, Culhwch has to pass a number of trials first, and one of them is to find and release Mabon, the Wondrous Youth, who had been imprisoned before Time had even begun.  

Yet he cannot even attempt this impossible Quest without the help of his cousin, Arthur Pendragon (Ursa Major or Great Bear) Olwen’s monstrous, one-eyed uncle Custennin, the Wild Herdsman (Bootes), Drudwyn the Hound (Cor Caroli), the Eagle (Aquila) and the Salmon (Cetus).

Get You To Stay

The composer Marcel Gruhn sent me his epic orchestral track, Now and Always (link here: https://on.soundcloud.com/J6jq4cjfZ9aHBBrs7) and asked me if I felt inspired to put some words to it. I certainly did, and this is the result. We hope you like it as much as we do!

Words:

He was so tired ...he’d been walking for weeks ...with a leg aching from the wound he’d taken at that last battle ...in which so many had been killed. 

He stopped by a farm gate, and then he leaned on it to light his pipe, and he remembered, once again, the sound of the vultures screaming as they came in to feed on the corpses. It was etched on his soul. 

He was no longer the arrogant young man who’d left his homeland with a cocky spring in his step. His face was now lined like a road map, showing all the places he’d been and all the horrors he’d seen. 

As he drew on his pipe, he looked up to see a lush green valley stretching out before him, and it seemed familiar. The streets and playgrounds of the village below were just like those he’d played in as a child, such a long time ago... Then he gasped as he realised ...he was nearly home! 

He wanted to run, but he could only stumble along the lane, dragging his leg behind him. Full of doubt now, fears for how he’d be received having left them all such a long time ago, and under a cloud...he wondered, would they even recognise him? 

Through eyes blurred with tears, he saw two young boys coming along the lane, with their mother close behind ...but no, surely not? Was this his daughter, now grown and matured?

 The woman smiled in recognition. 

“We’ve been waiting for you,” she cried out as she ran towards him. And it was then that he saw it...The circle of life... and in a flash, he remembered greeting his own father returning along this very lane, as he must have his father before him. 

Then he felt them both in his heart as it dawned on him that they had never been away, that his forefathers had stood guard around him as he had fought to protect his homeland ...just as these two small boys may have to one day... 

"But not yet.. he silently prayed, "please God ...not just yet..." And he clasped his family to his breast.

Hero's Return (ft. Marcel Gruhn)

The following is once again the source for this concerto:

[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

Although this was written as a Violin Concerto,
I thought I would try to blend some other instruments together
to make it sound a little bit like a music box, or an old timey Polyphon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphon


So the substitutions ran like this:

-----ORIGINAL: = LOGIC:

-----Violino    I = Accoustic Guitaro
-----Violino   II = Roundback Accoustic
-----Violino  III = Bluegrass Banjo

-------Viola    I = String Decay
-------Viola   II = String Tub
-------Viola  III = 80s Wave Synth

-Violincello    I = Fast Pad
-Violincello   II = Droplet Harp
-Violincello  III = Alien Lead

Violine e Cembalo = Basses


In the process as I neared completion, 
I occasionally found that, after I had done a SAVE
I then realized that I had DELETED a whole track.
So, by the time I had finished making this,
I had wished I had selected something else besides the mallets.
They were beginning to take their toll on my eardrums.

ALSO: When I was in high school, I bought a little book of Bach's 2 Part Inventions that also included the Brandenburg Concertos. I transcribed this particular tune as a piano piece. This one I played well over a thousand times and probably only got through it twice without making a mistake. As such, my mom estimates that number to be much more...poor thing.

Addendum:
I had just posted this on SC when I played it for my mom.
She passed away within a couple of weeks after that,
but she was never one to go on about these soundtracks I would make.
On this particular one though, for the first time ever,
she said, "Turn it up a little bit."

Now coming from her, that was high praise.

Brandenburg 3 Movement 1

Sometimes it's just so Damn hard to say Goodbye.
When you know 
Dreams age gone
Feelings unclear
Do you hold on 
for something that you thought was there?
