The Gravity Of It All

Pascal Hennig & Jeremy J. Saks - The Gravity Of It All

I finally bought a new classical guitar :)

The tightrope walker

"Through My Eyes" (Edit.: Mastered with iZotope Ozone 11 on December 4th, 2023)

This is a partly improvised "smooth jazz" or "lounge" track made as a humble tribute to my - for the most part American - collection of the wonderful musical adventure called smooth jazz that has given me so much over the years (maybe also the term "Westcoast music" could be relevant here). 

I shall call this track "Through My Eyes" because it kind of tries to capture and present something about the American smooth jazz tradition - as seen through my eyes. 

This track was loosely inspired first by Mr. Keith Jarrett's two wonderful songs, "The Good America" and "Country" which both express an enormously positive and hymn-like feeling, and second by Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 3 in F Major, III. Poco allegretto (Op. 90), the beauty of which has been "haunting" me for many years (and maybe also to some extent by Mozart's Symphony No. 40, I. Molto allegro, and Schubert's Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished", I. Allegro moderato, etc.).

I have not found out much about the origins of the two Mr. Jarrett's songs but in a recent interview he talks about them and rightly describes - if I understood correctly - the song "The Good America" as almost like a prayer. I also got the impression that both of these two Mr. Jarrett's songs kind of represent a view of America. 

I have also gotten inspiration here from the music of one of my all-time favorite jazz bands Spyro Gyra and from all the wonderful music that Mr. Carlos Santana has provided to the world. Last but not least as a source of inspiration I shall mention the music of Mr. Burt Bacharach (especially his breath-taking song "Bells of St. Augustine"). There is again also a bunch of other classical and popular music and jazz lurking on the background as a source of inspiration. 

The instruments and plugins I have been privileged to use here are once again my old workhorse Korg SGProX digital stage piano (master keyboard), Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer (CFX Concert) and the wonderful instruments from Scarbee (Rhodes, EP-88S), Native Instruments (Abbey Road 80s Drummer), the UVI SonicPass and Arturia V Collection. The drum grooves, fills etc. are from the 80s Drummer and edited by me.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)

In den Straßen dieser Zeit
Weht ein Wind der Dunkelheit
(weht so leise, weht so kalt)
Demokratie verblasst so schnell
Wie ein Bild, das schnell zerfällt
(schwindet leise, schwindet bald)

November 2024
Die Kälte kriecht durch Mark und Bein
Fast alles war klar und eindeutig
Wird nun zu grauem Dämmerschein

Freiheit stirbt mit leisem Klang
(stirbt so leise)
Nicht mit Donnerhall und Zwang
(stirbt so sacht)
Was wir liebten jahrelang
Schwindet in der Novembernacht
(in der kalten Novembernacht)

Neue Worte, alte Macht
"Modernisierung" über Nacht
(Leere Masken, falscher Schein)
Hüllen unsre Wahrheit ein

Der Ozean vergisst seinen Tanz
(Die Wissenschaft schreit stumm)
Wir tauschen unsrer Freiheit Glanz
Für falsche Ordnung um

Freiheit stirbt mit leisem Klang
(stirbt so leise)
Nicht mit Donnerhall und Zwang
(stirbt so sacht)
Was wir liebten jahrelang
Schwindet in der Novembernacht
(in der kalten Novembernacht)

Und die letzte freie Stimme
(Flüstert in der Dunkelheit)
Von Demokratie und Freiheit
Die wir einst besaßen

Die wir schweigend sterben ließen

Die wir schweigend sterben ließen!

English translation:
In the streets of this time
A wind of darkness is blowing
(blowing so softly, blowing so cold)
Democracy fades so quickly
Like a picture that quickly decays
(fading away quietly, fading away soon)

November 2024
The cold creeps through your bones
Almost everything was clear and unambiguous
Now it becomes a gray haze

Freedom dies with a soft sound
(dies so softly)
Not with thunder and force
(dies so gently)
What we loved for years
Fades in the November night
(in the cold November night)

New words, old power
“Modernization” overnight
(Empty masks, false appearances)
Shroud our truth

The ocean forgets its dance
(Science cries out silently)
We exchange our freedom's shine
For a false order

Freedom dies with a soft sound
(dies so softly)
Not with thunder and force
(dies so gently)
What we loved for years
Fades in the November night
(in the cold November night)

And the last free voice
(whispers in the darkness)
Of democracy and freedom
We once possessed

We silently let die

We silently let die!

song about a  past neighborhood  tragedy....happens everywhere , all the time I figure... sad things.. bad things..

Lost Horizon

Solo standing street light shine                                     Your hands reaching out to mine
Floating up through the evening skies
Just like hail and gentle rain
Love is soft, but love is pain
and hard to find under our thin disguise

Cause now that you’re gone                                         
It’s a matter of fact
My lost horizon is fading to black
Got a weapon of war
In my neighborhood 
Cops at the door 
they know I’m no good

Welcome to this land of shit
Head is pounding, eyes are lit
Falling down to meet my gin-soaked master
Empty bottles line the floor
Brimstone shackles on the door
Once a child now a lonely bastard

Cause now that you’re gone
It’s a matter of fact
My lost horizon has faded to black
Got a weapon of war
In my neighborhood
Cops at the door 
I know I’m no good

Shots through the window     
The smoke starts to rise         
And I'm floating so far away   
The look in their eyes             
They can't  touch me              
There’s nothing to say            

Cause now that you’re gone
It’s a matter of fact
My lost horizon has faded to black
Got a weapon of war
In my neighborhood 
Cops at the door 
They know I’m no good
I know I’m no good
