The Egyptian (Demo)

билет на игрушечный поезд

A short tune with a seasonal vibe. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

A Night of Magic

This is a song originally written and performed by Soundcloud artist 'A Girl From Wonder' (@user-712848711), whose music I've admired for a while. I've loved this one since the first time I heard it, and aways wanted to try some sort of collaboration, but it's hard to mess with the stark simple beauty of the original. But here's my attempt to add some dashes of colour to her voice and guitar strumming, adding instruments like upright bass, organ, banjo, cello, and percussion. The banjo parts are mainly a bunch of sound samples I found and cut up and arranged to fit in with the melody I wanted to play (wish I could just play banjo instead!). I tried to keep her evocative voice the main focal point, and we're both pretty happy with how this turned out. 

Thanks again Brittany for letting me work with your song, it's pretty special. 

Here's the original, and I encourage folks to check it out as well as other great tunes on her page. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

Do you see something falling from the sky?
Be afraid
Maybe you have lost your mind!

All the crap you filled into your brain
It may explode
And you will end up insane!

Do you hear bells and screaming in your ears?
Be afraid
It's something that shouldn't be there!

All the crap you filled into your brain
It may explode
And you will end up insane!

Do you see scary monsters in the dark?
Be afraid
Now it is going to far!

All the crap  you filled into your brain
It may explode
And you will end up insane!

Do you find yourself crawling on the floor?
Be afraid
Your brain couldn't take anymore!

All the crap you filled into your brain
It has exploded
And you have gone insane!

Insane

Verse 1
Well he starts the day at sunrise
cause there ain't no other way
wakin' up before the world begins
just to turn for another day
That's the way his father worked
and his father before him
passin' on the things that you need to know
just to grow into a man
Just workin' on the land

Chorus
We're just waitin' for the sunrise
and sittin' in the dark
Singing all about the days we lived
while lookin' to the stars
And with the day we grow a little bit
from what we were before
So he gets down on his knees
and he prays to god for just one more
And the rain begins to pour

Verse 2
And the minutes last for hours
when the time turned back then
and the days turned into years
that we can never see again
But it doesn't really matter
cause the world goes on to spin
and the planets and the stars
will all still be there in the end
so let me say again

Chorus x2

Just One More

I wrote this song in Summer 2023. It's a joyful get-up-the-morning and enjoy the day song.
I recorded most of the instruments in a tent at a festival on a very very hot day, where I was storytelling.

Ok I Give Up

Welcome to my original composition where I play the piano, cello, bassoon and flute.

Together, the piano, cello, bassoon, and flute embarked on an enchanting journey, their interwoven voices creating a serene atmosphere that invited each soul in the room to turn inward, to ponder the unspoken pressures of conformity and the quiet, persistent longing to be seen, truly seen, for the unique melody that resided to "Be Just Like Me".
