Between – baroque orchestral classical musical composition.

Music speaks of Paradise and Hell, remembering Dante's "The Divine Comedy", where the inscription on the door to Hell says: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here".

Inspired by "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem Mass.

d-moll; 4/4; 120 bpm

The top prize for #bachtobasics of "Bandlab"!

Here’s what judges had to say:
"Stupendous! We are immediately taken into the medieval times of war and conflict, preparing our hero’s tale before entering into battle. Great tones from Michael Herter‘s instrumentation; that violin performance is what we’ll remember for ages! You can already imagine how many historical TV shows this track could fit. Aw-inspiring!"

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

The Rose And The Rope by Icelandic Postrock band  Laxá

Fail. Fail Again. Fail Better.

Wrote this one a long time ago and have been waiting to do it with a new acoustic guitar.  Finally got one for my birthday from my family and I'd like to dedicate this one to them.  Because of them, I am far from lonely, and to my wife, you are my everything, thank you!

Lonely People

Verse 1
I don’t know much, not much of anything at all
I know myself and I know what I see
All by myself, drinking coffee in the rain
In part to wake up, in part to wash away the pain
Every week I sit here, sorting out my thoughts
Watching people, watching me, wondering if they’re living or just letting the days pass by

Chorus
Look at all the lonely people, look at all the empty eyes
Look at all the lonely people, just passing by.

Verse 2
She irons her dress, brushes her hair but she still feels like a mess
She dries her tears and makes a wish, it’s the same wish every day
Daydreaming through work, coasting through everything she does
Waiting for something or someone to take her away

Chorus
She’s one of the lonely people, she’s swimming in empty eyes
In a world full of lonely people, she’s getting by

Verse 3
He’s spending his time, dancing with her in his mind
Holding her hand, he’s contemplating her name, what’s her name
He sees her in the café every night, the same seat, the same time, the same salad and wine
All he has to do is knock on the glass, but he just walks past.

Chorus
He’s one of the lonely people, he’s lost in empty eyes
In a world full of lonely people, he’s getting by

Instrumental Bridge

Verse 4
She finished her wine, as red as her lips, she drops a tip and waves good-bye
Picks up her worn-out copy of On the Road, and heads for the door
She loves the rain; he gives up on the newspaper and lets the water have its way
He can’t help but smile and feel like something’s about to change.
He turns, she turns, she smiles, and he says hi, she looks down instantly and walks on by
He stops himself and takes a deep breath, and asks for her name

Chorus
Just a couple of lonely people, found something in empty eyes
In a world full of lonely people, are you getting by, don’t just get by

Lyrics:

Alone in my room, the outside's a blur
An eighties glow from my monitor
Old films play on VHS tape
But the snow outside slowly takes shape

But I don't care, it's all the same
In my world, there's a different game

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

You may howl, the streets are bare
But here I sit without a care
Thought the disc's hung, loading slow
As winter's tale outside starts to grow

These falling stars, they speak to me
My screensaver's all I need to see

Digital snow falling from the screen 
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Alone but happy in my silent space
The digital flicks keep up their pace
They understand the way I feel 
In this empty world, they're all that's real

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Let it BE Xmas
