Stairway to heaven 🎹 - Led Zeppelin cover (piano)

Special thanks to Cecilia for her a cappella ...of which I modified the tone in order to fit perfectly with my arrangement and atmosphere

EQUALITY FOR ALL.  🎧

"tote liebe" grew from my instrumental Yearning, merging its melancholic string writing with a dark, epic vocal delivery.
This song is written to invite multiple readings — whether you hear a lost love, an unbroken obsession, or a dialogue with the shadow/self is entirely up to you.

Violin color
Lead lines use Virharmonic’s Bohemian Violin for feather-light bowing, intimate vibrato and fluid performance legato — a fragile, breathing tone that carries the lament.

Vocal disclosure (ACE Studio)
The voice is rendered with ACE Studio because no suitable singer was available in time. Melody, phrasing, dynamics and expression were composed and designed by me. I care about real, honest music: composition, arrangement, performance design, mixing & mastering are hand-crafted; ACE only renders the vocal line I wrote.

What to listen for

Slow, elastic phrases above restrained percussion; violin and low pads build tension.

Verse: close, chest-heavy voice; Chorus: wider, more distorted harmonics.

Bridge: violin answers the vocal in sighing intervals, then falls back into silence.

Tech notes
BPM ~128 (expressive rubato). Target loudness ~-14 LUFS, peak <-1 dBTP. Stereo: vocal center, violin wider.

Lyrics (English version) 🎶❤️🎶
A glance into the light – my heart suffocates
Your scent fades – my blood turns to stone
I cry for you – yet you are far
But every wound still carries you with care
I – long – for you
For your curse, for your being
I – still – burn
Doomed alone – alone for all eternity
Your name decays upon my tongue
Love lies dead, while death feels whole
I follow blindly the ancient vow
You live in me – for all eternity
I – long – for you
For your curse, for your scent
I – still – burn
For a dream, for your simple existence
A fire in the deep
A scream in darkest night
This longing eats my life away
Until nothing in me wakes again

"tote liebe" ist aus meinem Instrumental Yearning entstanden und verbindet dessen melancholische Streicher & Piano mit einem düsteren, epischen Gesang.
Der Text ist so gestaltet, dass mehrere Deutungen möglich sind – ob verlorene Liebe, ungebrochene Obsession oder ein Zwiegespräch mit dem Schatten/Ich, entscheidet ihr beim Hören.

Violine
Die führende Klangfarbe stammt von der Virharmonic Bohemian Violin – hauchzarte Striche, intimes Vibrato und ein natürlich fließendes Performance-Legato für diese zerbrechlichen, atmenden Linien.

Transparenz Gesang (ACE Studio)
Die Stimme wurde mit ACE Studio gerendert, weil sich rechtzeitig keine geeigneter Sänger fand. Melodie, Phrasierung, Dynamik und Ausdruck habe ich komponiert und gestaltet. Mir ist ehrliche, menschliche Musik wichtig: Komposition, Arrangement, Performance-Design sowie Mix & Master sind handgemacht; ACE setzt lediglich die von mir geschriebene Gesangslinie um.
Bridge: die Violine antwortet dem Gesang in seufzenden Intervallen und fällt zurück in Stille.

Lyrics 🎶❤️🎶
Ein Blick ins Licht – mein Herz erstickt
Dein Duft verweht – mein Blut erstarrt
Ich schrei nach dir – du bist mir fern
Doch jede Wunde trägt dich gern

Ich – sehne – mich
Nach deinem Fluch, nach deinem Sein
Ich – brenne – noch
Verdammt allein – allein bis in Ewigkeit

Dein Name fault in meinem Mund
Die Liebe tot, der Tod gesund
Ich folge blind dem alten Schwur
Du lebst in mir – in Ewigkeit

Ich – sehne – mich
Nach deinem Fluch, nach deinem Duft
Ich – brenne – noch
Für einen Traum, für dein einfaches Dasein

Ein Feuer in der Tiefe
Ein Schrei in dunkler Nacht
Die Sehnsucht frisst mein Leben
Bis nichts mehr in mir wacht

tote liebe (Yearning)

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome 'Asteroids (The Original Was Better) (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/asteroids-the-original-was). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements.
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.
Edit: In the meantime, Joe has released his amazing acoustic version of this song! Don’t miss it! 🫶 https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/e8ccb0a6-eda9-457d-89d9-6bbbfbbd038b

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Rapture

Dear friends,
After a very long time, I was able to mix another track with fresh, crazy sounds, feeling like in Wonka's chocolate wonderland. I tried out a rhythmic
  ambient piece that almost dissolves into atonal abstraction at the end. I hope you like it^^

PAROLES
Même si t’es sans ressource
Prends un verre de reggae
Bois la vie à la source
 Réveille l’avenir
 Fais luire
Dans les yeux de la nuit
 Le soleil de midi.

Si t’es plus dans la course
Prends un bol de reggae
Danse sous la Grande Ourse
Réveille l’avenir
 Fais luire
 Dans les yeux des amis
 La source de vie.

Même si la joie te quitte
Et que le Roi est nu 
Prends un air de reggae
 Et retourne en toi-même
Pour qu’à tous  profitent
Le rire des enfants
La couleur des « je t’aime »
 Et la chanson des rues.
________________________________________________________
LYRICS
Even if you're destitute
Have a glass of reggae
Drink life at the source
 Awaken the future
 Shine
In the eyes of the night
 The midday sun.

If you're no longer in the race
Grab a bowl of reggae
Dancing under the Big Dipper
Awaken the future
 Shine
 In the eyes of friends
 The source of life.

Even if the joy leaves you
And that the King is naked 
Take a reggae tune
 And find in yourself
For benefit of all
Children's laughter
The color of "I love you"
 And the song of the streets.

Boire la vie à la source

The music for this song was written years ago for a different band I was in.  The original title was "Where's Tomorrow Go?" and had different lyrics, and was sung by another singer.  Unfortunately, that band is no longer active, and I always liked the instrumental I'd made for this tune, so I finally decided to redo it with my own lyrics and vocals.  I figure a more serious song is in order after my last upload.  I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Another wasted day has come to pass
Another page left blank in my book
Even if I try to scribble something down
Who the hell would ever want to take a look
I just can’t think of where to start it all
But I think I know how it will end
The second act is dragging on for too long
As I figure out the message it will send

Always find myself needing to be the villain
Could never see myself being the lead
A good protagonist needs to be stimulating
Something to relate to that I don’t have, but I need
I suppose I’m just looking for an excuse
To justify my existential dread
The prologue doesn’t lead up to any intro
Will I have the nerve to write any words before I’m dead 

Sometimes I wonder if it’s my vocabulary
Or if it’s lack of motivation
That prevents me from articulating the words
That would paint the mental illustration
A picturesque account of something more than life
To be remembered for the ages to come
Can I be the hero, or the mischief maker?
Can I find the courage to do what must be done?

In a hundred years will there be anything
Left to prove that I existed at all
What would it take for people to remember me?
A legendary rise to fame, then perhaps a great fall
Good deeds are so often forgotten about
Yet evil doings are immortalized
Who remembers the benevolent Roman Leaders
When the evil ones intrigue us more

My parents listened to Franz Liszt - I still have the original record so I ended up a fan.  My music teacher was the late: Anatoly Miroshnyk (born August 19, 1923 - died July 14, 2011) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, musician and public figure.

We often think of talented musicians as folks who start young and advance their skills via the finest education available to them. While this is certainly true in some cases, there are plenty who realised many of their artistic capacities without the aid of specialised instruction or a degree in music.

Where words leave off, music begins.. Not everyone has the ability to compose music I also sing Jazz & Blues with musicians on Wikiloops a truly amazing community.

 I've always been passionate about music composition and fortunately the internet & technology made it possible to build a community in the clouds.

Find my global music journey since 2012 below:

https://linktr.ee/ArapaMusic

I've been tested by an examiner from the Australian Conservatorium of Music & apparently I have perfect pitch and blessed with the ability to accompany any musician, add hooks to any genre - as a singer I’m not great but who cares thats why most is spoken word.

I have my own style - either you like it or not -  always open for collaborations

🎤I have no fear of perfection - will never reach it 🎧   I don’t have the perfect voice nor am I aiming to be the best I'm only human with a passion for what I love music is in my heart.

Thank you to all who believe in me and MOST OF ALL my amazing Mentor thank you Sir for encouraging me to NEVER GIVE UP it all takes time and practice.

My mixing & mastering techniques have been learned from Youtube tutorials & experimenting with Logic Pro X.   I love the creativity and flexibility music production - a continual learning journey  of #passion #persistence #perspiration #patience
 
Having begun her musical journey at the young age of five with the piano accordion – an instrument initially more of an expectation than a choice, yet one for which she now holds deep gratitude – Heidi-Marie eventually transitioned into the captivating world of electronic music production a few years ago. This discovery led to the gentle retirement of her accordion, making space for her true passion: composing, producing, and sharing her sonic creations with the world. For Heidi-Marie, music is not just a pastime but a lifelong dedication, a constant until her final days.
