With Pat's passing, I wanted to post this version of Ode with us doing a little brainstorming on the creation of the song. 
I witnessed a miracle--at least I would call it that.  A beloved rose that was a regular bloomer(pictured) fell victim to the incredibly harsh cold spell we had in February of 2021.  By April when the rest of the roses were waking up, this one had not a sign of life in it, just a brown stump.  I watered, and fed, and waited, and waited.  Nothing.  I dug out the stump.   For Mothers' Day my daughter had bought a rose to replace the one that had perished...or so I thought.  Within a week of planting the new one, the old one put out a shoot just a foot away.  I guess the digging, watering, etc for the new rose stimulated some remaining root of the old.  It has since received lots of love and care, and has at least a half-dozen buds ready to bloom in a couple of weeks.  So this is an ode; to a beloved rose and all things miraculous.  
Special thanks to Pat Howell for the initial inspiration and his fine musicianship and sweet additions with mandolin and octave.  Please check out his page for more fine music @patrick-howell-786748109

Lyrics by Teng ...
They do not see my strain
They want to eat
The inner side of hope
The brain of my life
#Chorus
I live as soul of monkey
Loving the fragrant trees
I want to be free
I fear my grief
Verse 2..
Now they enjoy my brain
Chew cheerfully
They stultify my hope
My body will die
#Chorus2
I live as soul of monkey
Loving the fragrant trees
I want to be free
I fear my grief

I will not hate bad folly
They make me so weak
I need a safety
I have to leave
#Chorus 3
I live as soul of monkey
Loving the fragrant trees
I want to be free
I fear my grief

I will not hate bad folly
They make me so weak
I need a safety
I have to leave

I can't stop thinking about you!

"The Cat" features vocals by Pooh Bear, our often shy ginger kitty. Two years ago, we nearly lost Pooh twice to kidney failure, but he’s now a healthy, happy 10-year-old feline. He hides when visitors come over, but watch out when they are gone, he’s playful, curious, jumping on every piece of furniture he can find, and very vocal.  
For strings, woodwinds, brass, marimba, timpani, cat recordings and percussion

Never Say Good-bye Won’t You

Gregory Blank is a Hungarian composer creating introspective, cinematic instrumentals where classical piano blends with warm strings and subtle ambient textures. His works evoke calm, melancholy, and moments of quiet wonder — designed for deep listening, reflection, or simply slowing down.

All music is self-composed and recorded in his home studio near Budapest, released gradually like faded letters from afar. He plays on two fields: sometimes with classical piano at the forefront, other times with synth-driven detours — but always circling back to the same atmosphere of quiet melancholy. And yes — even these pieces have begun to appear on Spotify (not all yet, but the collection is steadily expanding).
