Wow, amongst a catalogue of special songs this one is somehow even more special. Nice work Irina and Robert.

***** for the lyrics.. these are essential.. and ***** for the voice-soundinguitar sound " a la Brian May"..

@denis-lt: Thank you so much, Denis, deeply touched!

Never change Irina! And NEVER listen to those music industry idiots!

A wonderful listen and wow when the band comes in!

powerful ending.. great job on the vocals!!:)

You wrote a gorgeous rock song here, which is masterfully arranged, and your vocal performance is just so amazing... You bring so much emotion to this with an incredible range of vocal expressions, and all this is very personal. No question you are different and, above all, you are unique.

Here is my second album. Different genres but this is what I am. 

Special thanks to Dan van den Berg for his amazing guitar compositions and incredible musicality, to Jamie Rhind for his wonderful smooth jazz track Taking It Easy, to Robert Pabst for brilliant arrangement of Different and to Alan McPike for magnificent piano trio in the title song Love Me. 

Feel very privileged having had a chance to work with these outstanding musicians.

Some Day Soon

This is a really special song to me. It features one of the greatest young talents on Soundcloud in the Jazz Vocal genre: Irina. It is an honor for me to have her feature on this Latin original, written for her with her beautiful additions in vocal melody and lyrics. I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I do...

Latin Streets

I love to walk these streets
Look up to washing lines
Like sketches in the skies
In the skies
And all these fragrances and sounds
And all these stories of love profound
The love I found
All around

Whenever fortune brings me back to you
Colourful spring or winter hue
You brighten up my blues
I paint a picture of your purple skies
Embellished with those lantern lights
Enchanting starry nights.

Oh let me take you there
Barrios, streets and squares
Let me take you there
Just you and me
Just me and you
 
And there will come a time
The time our feelings will have aged like ruby wine
Sweet and fine
Those old and curvy and narrow streets
Will bring back vivid memories - 
Flamenco beat
Sultry heat.

The dancer’s gorgeous woven wavy dress
Breath-taking sounds of castanets
Gitanas sing their best.
Our hearts will stay forever linked to this
The magic moment of first kiss
Romantic sunny streets

Oh let me take you there
Barrios, streets and squares
Let me take you there
Just you and me
Just me and you
Take you there
Take you there
Just me and you

One more day
One more night with you
We'll make it beautiful

One more rhyme
One more song for you
I'll make it beautiful

I love you
I never felt like this before
I love you
I wish I could but give you more

One more smile
Lights your charming face
I think it's beautiful

One more kiss
One more last embrace
We'll make it beautiful

I love you
There's nothing wrong to feel like this
I love you
A chance that we don't want to miss

Beautiful

Buy: https://atlascedar.bandcamp.com/album/fool-ep

A song about climate change and our effect on the planet, its climate and our future. Inspired by a Nature paper about 'the trillionth tonne' of CO2 emissions, this song had/has a working title of 'Sonoma' and was originally about grapes 'withering on the vine'... I didn't realise that 'withering on the vine' is an expression about doing nothing while a problem gets worse and worse, which fits in very well with the subject of climate change.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature08019
http://trillionthtonne.org/

This song is the 'twin' song of 'Fool' - both songs were written within 48 hours of each other back in May, and both songs were recorded and published online within 24 hours of each other... in August. Both songs were written and played using a bouzouki as opposed to a guitar.

wither on the vine
poisoning the wine

the futures on the line
running out of time

what have we done
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

beyond the trillionth tonne
planets going to burn
facing everyone
the barrel of a gun

too late now
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

what have we done
don't blame it on the sun
the time will come

Beyond The Billionth Tonne

🎧 Listen on Spotify

Beyond The Trillionth Tonne

A song for the coming season – melancholy and uplifting all at once. The sights, sounds, and smells bring out so many special feelings and heighten the senses – nature in its last dance before the winter, beauty in decay and the tinge of sadness that comes with it. I had this idea for a melody while playing the mandolin that spends most of its time hanging on the wall. The piece naturally evolved, undulating between reflection and celebration, and is the kind of piece that, for me, would only come to life at this time of the year.

One day, I don't know when
But scientifically speaking it is highly likely
When we meet again
I'll have a crush on you
You'll have no clue
What you have to say
You'll even try to run away
But soon enough you've got to see
You've got to have a crush on me

One day, one lucky day
Our hormone levels fluctuate and regulate our choices
When we meet again
One day, one lucky day
I'll pour some chemistry for you
I'll share biology with you
And soon enough you've got to see
You've got to have a crush on
Me gotta have a crush on
You gotta have a crush on me

You've Gotta Have A Crush On Me

This song is different, not just the title but overall immersion into rock culture. I am so grateful to Robert for his enthusiasm with production. His encouragement and know-hows made it happen. Hope you like the song and find something you can relate to. 

Is it about the colour of my body?
Is it about the accent when I speak?
Is it because your god is not my God?
Is it because I called the weather bleak?

I try to find a reason,
So I don’t hate myself

I’m sorry I am different
I promise I will change
I’m sorry I am different
Please don’t find me strange

Is it about my birthplace or my story?
Is it about my fearless open mind?
Is it because you see yourself in my eyes?
Is it because my shame, you cannot find?

I try to find a reason,
So you don’t hate yourself

I’m proud, I am different
I will never change
I’m proud, I am different
I love that I am strange

People of the universe
You’re beautiful throughout
Tell your stories to the world
What we’re all about

I’m proud, I am different
I will never change
I’m proud, I am different
I love that I am strange

Different - Irina and Robert

TOO SOON

And here we are, with joy and feeling honored, having the talented Irina @irina-951237464 sing and write with me this brand new Original. Our third duet here on SoundCloud. A pleasure to compose this Latin & Jazz, flamenco infused song with Irina's tremendous voice and artistry in mind.

Lyrics:

All alone again
What are you trying to prove
Make your move

Time to part
Let go, my heart
Who are you trying to fool
Play it cool

Off you go
Friend or foe
What are you trying to be
I set you free

We had our days
Happy in so many ways
Right on key
Constantly

But all too soon
You found a different tune
As the music flows
Don't we all transpose
But all too soon
All too soon

— Guitar Solo—

Take my hand 
Again
Take me back to wonderland
Just once again

Don't know why
We say goodbye
Are we too proud to try
Just one more try

We had our days
Happy in so many ways
Right on key
Constantly

But all too soon
You found a different tune
As the music flows
Don't we all transpose
But all too soon
All too soon

When Mamoru sent me his beautiful unique interpretation of this great classic from Carole King, it was with great delight that I began working on it. It needed some piano, and so I asked the wonderful Mr Jamie Rhind, and he added some magic keys, the icing on the cake!
We hope you enjoy our take, and the big strawberry moon tonight.

You've Got A Friend  - Carole King Cover( cobrazsananom/Jamie Rhind/ Lizzie Taypen)

Inspired by the musical dedication and eternal quest for beauty of the acclaimed pianist and performing concert artist - Angela Hewitt. (1958- ) 

To soar from one moment of musical beauty to another in a life that embodies a true musical path. Overcoming odds to find such a shining, glimmering, sparkling musical world in her fingertips and performing it with love and finesse and sharing this gift with the world. It is this energy and vitality that makes Angela’s life especially meaningful to the world and this piece contains exactly that.

Love me if you can
Love me now and then
Love me if you want
Love me if you don't

Love me if you care
Love me if you dare
Love me from afar
Love me where you are

Take one step closer
One more step please
One small step closer
One more little step to me
