A brilliant combination of music and words. Was the music written for the poem, or was the poem written for the music? Either way, they are perfect together. (I must admit: I used Google Translate because I do not know French.)

La musique de Gérald est fabuleuse et vos paroles apportent un souffle nouveau de grande qualité ! Un grand bravo 🎻🎻🎻

Really a fabulous combination.  Beautiful.

Très intéressant ce que tu réalises, tu nous plonges dans un monde très particulier avec ta diction .... La musique est géniale.

Another brilliant adaptation of Mr. Olivieri's beautiful music. The lyrics (poetry) perfectly assess the dilemma of what approaching a romantic relationship could bring, yet one still approaches.

The past few months have been a wonderful time for my eldest son and his partner, who are expecting a child. They wanted to share the good news of the pregnancy but had some concerns about going public in the early stages and decided to wait until the first sonogram and medical check confirmed everything was as it should be. 

During those early days the undivided love they felt for each other in starting a new family grew and when they felt secure enough they finally shared their news with the family.

I’ll never forget the excitement when they showed us the first sonogram photo – that new family was becoming more real with every passing day.
Then came the second image, showing the baby nearing full development, with a clear indication of gender.  Jason and Nicky felt it was time to name their child, choosing Richard Terence Reeves – RTR.   Sharing the name Terence with me makes me so very emotional.  
Being a granddad was something I had never expected but I am filled with pride to be just that to Richard Terence Reeves.

Deep thanks to Hans for once again producing such a wonderful arrangement for the song I wrote to celebrate the occasion.  It really captures the growing excitement we‘ve all been feeling over the past few months. Thanks so much for listening. 

Gary has asked me to apologize to anyone who has messaged him over the last couple of months and hasn’t received a reply.  Health problems and hospital appointments, among other things, have been taking up much of our time recently.  We both want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has listened to, liked, commented on and reposted ‘Soundcloud Village’ - your support is keeping our spirits sky-high.  (Terry Reeves)

We have a secret to tell you
An excitement of questions 
A certainty of desire
And no fear of direction 

The importance of sharing
A desire to include
The love of two increasing 
Wanting to tell all the moon

It’s the time to share what we see
It’s the time for what we are
It’s time for going far

Trying to be very careful 
Of a single life responsibility 
Without holding an existence 
Hugging more making 2 to 3

A very beautiful picture
Development of our family tree
Gradually growing confidence 
Of what a future life will be

It the time to share what we see
It’s the time for what we are
It’s time for our growing star

Our selfish single reasons
To each other a love we see
No apology or justification 
Another chapter of feeling free

There never was a question 
Of commitment to achieve
The question is for others
Beliefs for you and me

It’s the time to share what we see
It’s the time for what we are
It’s time for R.T.R

You Could Never Take Away

"One of the most famous associations of the Deadly Nightshade is its connection to mythology, folklore and witchcraft. In antiquity, the plant was associated with the cult of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and ecstasy, and it was allegedly mixed for a drink that could induce a trance in worshippers. On a more sinister note, it also features in the myth of Odysseus, whose men were - legend has it - poisoned with nightshade and then turned into pigs by the witch Circe.

In times of the Roman Empire, Deadly Nightshade was rumoured to be Livia’s ‘weapon of choice’ to poison her husband, the Emperor Augustus. Allegedly, the Roman troops also coated arrow-heads with a paste made from the plant to poison their enemies.

Deadly Nightshade featured heavily in so-called witches’ ingredients and was closely associated with the Devil. For example, parents on occasion told their children that if they ate the plant’s berries they would meet the Devil in person - this was a tale told to help them avoid the berries. It was also apparently one of the ingredients that allowed witches’ to fly, something they experienced in hallucinations caused by a combination of plants."

About the Title: David and I were discussing the title of our piece and I mentioned that it didn't matter to me.  "I am easy to please. Unless I'm not".  And thus, our title. Thank you, @david-dunhamuser589535203 ! 

About the Artwork: This little beauty is a portrait of me drawn by my son at the age of 7 (many years ago!). Please note the happy mother caring for her children.  This is a detail from his whole family portrait in which small characters float around a huge virago-type mother.  My son was the only person smiling in his rendering of our family.  I suppose he was able to look past his plight and smile.
My self-esteem hasn't quite recovered.

LE RISQUE
 
Mes chères mademoiselles, ecoutez, écoutez...
C'est un peu recherché, mais il faut distinguer risque et incertitude.
On prend des risques quand on connait déjà quelles sont les probabilités de se faire gifler.
On parle d'incertitude quand on ne connait même pas les chances de succès.
Mes chères damoiselles, je voudrais vous souffler bien des choses à l'oreille.
Mais je ne suis même pas pas sûr si c'est risqué.

Ma chère madame, écoutez, écoutez...
Il me faudra décider sous risque ou incertitude.
Je prendrais un risque si je savais évaluer les chances de me faire tuer.
Mais, dans l'incertitude, je ne sais même pas quelles sont mes probabilités de décès.
Et pourtant, madame, je viendrai vous souffler bien des choses à l'oreille,
car je suis tout à fait sûr que vous le désirez.

An Irish-flavored tune that is quickly paced with a running bass line.   Grab an umbrella. Hope you enjoy. Note on the remaster; used some newer tools on the original file to balance and bring out more detail. Hope you enjoy even more:)

I've been making music with Pedro Castro since 1972. At the time, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. The music I'm placing here are just the home recordings of ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language (PO - Portuguese; EN - English; SP - Spanish; FR - French; IT - Italian), and also for concept albums (Três Jardins). There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community.

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

Enjoy!
