-------- Take the Light ---------

Always believe in yourself
never listen to others
always do what you think,
He's your friend, your best link,

follow your lucky star,
banish your nightmares,
cast out your demons,
take the light, take the sun,
your freedom to dream is not for sale,

Take the light

Take the Light

It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive.


So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I don't need your church or creed
To get me by
I don't need no alcohol or pills
To get me high

I don't need to fight with you
I don't need a gun
I'm doing what I was born to do
I'm having fun

I'm high on life

I don't need negativity
Don't drag me down
I'm the king of my own life
Don't steal my crown

Eyes wide open,high on life
That's when I thrive
It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive

So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I'm high on life

High On Life

Yearning. The pain when you long for something and yet can't get it. When periods of depression and self-immersion are interrupted by outbursts of hearfelt desire and longing, only to collapse into themselves again. And yet, excruciating as this bittersweet state of mind is, the heart nevertheless seems to also derive pleasure from it.

Compositionwise: 
The track is of the form Intro (@0:00) - Main1 (@0:33) - Main2 (@1:29) - Diversion (@2:19) - Main3(@2:53) - Outro (@3:17)
Overall, the track lives from its sequence of low-energy parts and muffled outbursts. Over time, the track increases in intensity, in two ways: First, its speed increases from the Intro in the Mid 60s to the Low 70s lateron. Moreoever, the melodical intensity of the variations gets increasingly dense (see below) 

The track starts with a low-paced introspect Intro where the left melody line goes up and the right hand down. This contraction in the used space of tones resembles the seclusion of the proponent of our story. The desparation is underlined by sudden crescendos and abrupt falling back into pian(issim)o. This effect is held up throughout the remainder of the track. The left hand in the Intro follows a low-paced half note beat. The right hand first introduces the lead theme that is later varied in the parts (M, M', M'') but then modulates in a unique way that is not repeated throughout the track again.
@ 0:33, the Intro is over and the first of the main parts, Main1, starts. The left hand increases its intensity from here on throughout the track by switching to quarters instead of halfs. The lead theme is modulated with more energy (and will be ever more intense in the later variations of Main). After that, the track goes @0:57 into a series of outbursts and resignations. This series is repeated in Main2 @1:57 in more intensity and a chord inversion higher.
The Diversion is characterised by chord inversions that gently fall down, just like rain that pours down that window that our protagonist stares through. And then reaches the biggest outburst of the whole track.
Finally, after Main3, which includes the most intense version of the lead theme and harmonically altered variation, the piece finishes with a questioning yet pieceful end.

In mastering the piece, after MIDI editing, one of the challenges was to find the right balance between the plaintive metallic overtone-rich outbursts versus a rich and full sound for the resignative parts. I chose the Pianoteq Warm Peterov Mistral (with some minor tweaks) as the piano. On this, I used three basic Cubase-inate effects: (1) some light-touch EQ (a scaled-downversion of Basic Piano), (2) compression (Ratio of 1.8) and (3) Reverb (the Cubase-equivalent of the Goldener Musikvereinssaal in Vienna of course :-)). The mix has been balanced at -1db to allow enough headroom for the streaming services' normalization magic to happen ;-).

La Petite Exploratrice

"Fall" dénonce le love bombing, cette manipulation où un baratineur inonde de belles paroles et d’attentions pour séduire. Il prétend aimer profondément et affirme qu’on est faite pour lui, mais derrière ces mots se cache un jeu de faux-semblants. La chanson met en lumière la superficialité de ces déclarations et le piège émotionnel qu’elles représentent.

ALONE AGAIN * [ Once Again]

I was sitting around by myself just got to thinking about when I was a kid and the things me and my best friend used to get up to and it occurred to me that through all the years of crazy shit we used to get into from experimenting with drugs to fighting in bars and wrecking cars, we were never dishonest and never took advantage or lied to anyone to get what we wanted.  My best friend would get onto me or anyone else who said "G-dammit" or spoke against God in any way at all. That's just something we didn't do but it was something that was left unspoken but was expected not to be said around us, a token of respect that was not broken. It seemed kind of bass ackwards when comparing it to the things we were doing at the time, but the things we were doing never involved hurting another person, without justification, which was easy enough to get at most of the places we would hang out. Damn I  miss being young and wild and I'm sure my buddy does too, don't you Randy?
