Under Pressure  - [soundboard tinkerers - cover/version]
music and vocals - soundboard tinkerers
produced by soundboard tinkerers june2020

I accidentally came across bowie and queen's under pressure song - and fancied that it would be some challenge to do an ok cover version of that of course most iconic tune.
And yeah I was right - a tremendous challenge;  that on many an occasion I was on the border of giving up on.  Then after bloody mindedly continuing, it slowly took a shape I could listen to:)
There are lots of different feels in this piece of music and all quickly stuck together. In this version I had to give the spacey feely part in the middle of the song a bit of extra breathing room, but then took out a lot of the long snappy fingers ending - seemed like a good idea at the time.  My excuse - I'm not even inclined to perform my original songs the same, so performing other peoples songs strangely turn into versions as well. Ha ha . . . 'Oh well!' 

Thank you soundclouders and music buffs for the listen up!
cheers

Under Pressure - [soundboard tinkerers - cover/version]

YouTube: https://youtu.be/MDfgSB9BRcE Photos used in this video are the gardens of our former Queen Anne Victorian house in Pennsylvania. Cover pastel is by my wife Janet Heffner. The music composition was originally written for a ballet production about the artist Henri Matisse. The trumpet was chosen when writing the lead part, since I consider it to be a very colorful instrument. Bruce Klepper's (https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1) arrangement skill brings out some rich harmonies in the saxophones and brass sections. He also worked on improving the overall brass timbres. I was inspired in writing this song by posting the word “colorful” over my keyboard for a few weeks.

Des paroles simples mais chantées avec le coeur 

Un air dans la tête

eh J'voudrais que tu saches que je t'aime encore,
et que je viens prendre sur moi tous les torts,
revivre ensemble les souvenirs des jours heureux,
quand venait l'été, ce ciel bleu dans tes yeux,

Dis-moi que tu penses encore à moi,
Dis-moi que ton coeur n'est pas fait qu'en bois,

avant que l'hiver ne frappe à ma porte,
viens me retrouver, je suis toujours près du port,

j'espère être encore dans tes pensées,
et que je ne me fais pas trop d'idées,
pas trop d'idées,
des idées ...

Je t'attendrais jusqu'à la fin des temps,
revoir ton visage, ton sourire si éclatant,

Simple words but sung with the heart

An air in the head

I would like you to know that I still love you,
and that I come to take upon myself all the wrongs,
relive memories of happy days together,
when summer came, that blue sky in your eyes,

Tell me that you still think of me,
Tell me that your heart is not only made of wood,

before winter knocks on my door,
come find me, I'm still near the port,

I hope to be still in your thoughts,
and I don't have too many ideas,
not too many ideas,
ideas ...

I'll wait for you until the end of time,
see your face again, your smile so bright,

Un Air dans la Tête

LYRICS - "The Circus is Everywhere"
VERSE1
On the weekend, the circus comes to town.
Bringing entertainment, and lots of clowns.
All sorts of tricks. They monkey around.
It’s fun, for you and for me.
VERSE2
On Monday morning, our work begins.
There’s entertainment, as the circus spins.
Lots of clowns, who monkey around.
Don’t you see? Don’t you see?
CHORUS1
The circus is everywhere.
Seems people just don’t care.
I have to wonder what’s in the air.
Is it me? Is it me?
VERSE3
In the circus, there’s action in three rings.
Dogs do tricks, while performers dance and sing.
Looks like confusion, as acrobats swing.
It’s’ fun, for you and me.
VERSE4
When shopping at the grocery store,
Finding the right toothpaste has become a chore.
Paperwork’s confusing.
It’s spread out on the floor.
Don’t you see? Don’t you see?
CHORUS2
The circus is everywhere.
Common sense is increasingly rare.
I have to wonder what’s in the air.
Is it me? Is it me?
REFRAIN
The circus is everywhere.
Seems people just don’t care.
I have to wonder what’s in the air.
Is it me? Is it me?

MALIKA
POUSSÉE PAR LE VENT 
UN PIED L’AUTRE DEVANT 
AXÉE VERS LE LEVANT 
TOURNÉE VERS LE PRÉSENT

MARCHER DANS LA FORÊT
LE CHIEN AUX ABOIS ET LA BICHE AUX ARRÊTS 
PLEURER SON MINARET
OÙ IL EST OÙ IL EST L’INTÉRÊT IL EST OÙ ?

TOURNÉE VERS LE FUTUR 
TOUJOURS LA TENTER LA TENTER L’AVENTURE 
C’EST DANS TA NATURE
MALIKA ÇA J’EN SUIS SÛR

TENTER CE QUI TE TENTE
TOUJOURS TOUJOURS PARTANTE
AIMER CE QUI T’AIMANTE
DES RÊVES ET DES PROJETS SUR TA LISTE D’ATTENTE

MARCHER CONTRE LE VENT 
PORTÉE PAR LE COURANT 
NOSTALGIE NÉANT
DE L’AVANT MALIKA DE L’AVANT

MARCHER DANS LA FORÊT
LA BICHE AUX ABOIS HANNAH AUX AGUETS 
ET SE PERDRE EN REGRETS
IL EST OÙ IL EST OÙ L’INTÉRÊT IL EST OÙ ?

POUSSÉE PAR LE VENT 
PORTÉE PAR LE COURANT 
CONTRE LE CONTRE-COURANT 
DE L’AVANT MALIKA DE L’AVANT 

ÇA J’EN SUIS SÛR
IL EST OÙ ?

MALIKA (Lyrics) song for Malika

As I wrote in the notes of Interstellar Journey, this piece is also the re-adaptation of Awakening part 1, also part of the "Awakening Project". Both Part 2 and Part 3 will follow soon.
A cordial thanks to those who listen to me and support me.

Come ho scritto nelle note di Interstellar Journey, il brano presente è un riadattamento di Awakening Part 1, anch'esso facente parte de "Awakening Project". Presto seguiranno sia Part 2 che Part 3. 
Un cordiale grazie a chi mi ascolta e mi sostiene.
