A song to fall in love with...and I did.  Such special work, John.

love the way the 2 vocal lines weave around eachother

I remember those beasts. You've obviously always had a great ear for production!

Always fantastic production! Enchanting vocals!

Great work… compositionally and production wise. I hear Kangaroo by This Mortal Coil . It’s awesome.

Your Mix 4

In this moment 
I can’t be broken
This world you love here
You loose all the fear 

Do you feel this taking over this beautiful feeling?

Cause our hearts could mend today
We won’t always feel this way
Cause our hearts could mend today
Cause our hearts could mend today

Words can’t tell you
This feeling runs through
And you can’t describe
No word of a lie

Do you feel this taking over this beautiful feeling?

Cause our hearts could mend today
We won’t always feel this way
Cause our hearts could mend today
Cause our hearts could mend today

Do you feel this taking over this beautiful feeling?

Cause our hearts could mend today
We won’t always feel this way
Cause our hearts could mend today
Cause our hearts could mend today

Cause our hearts could mend today
We won’t always feel this way
Cause our hearts could mend today
Cause our hearts could mend today

Hearts Will Mend

On May 13, 2015, my brother-in-law Eduardo Fortuny Loret de Mola was killed in a road accident, to the great sorrow of all who knew and loved him, in particular his widow and two sons. I wrote this song in the aftemath of his all too soon passing away, but the time never seemed right to try and record it ... until now, when Enna, his wife, read the lyrics and expressed her wish to hear a recorded version. It would also have been his 60th birthday this year. I took both as a sign that it was time, and thanks to the monumental musical and production abilities of Sergio Aguilar, not to mention the wonderful backing vocals of Beto Quintero, here it is.

The song, needless to say, but I will say it, is dedicated to Eduardo, and all who loved him.

Hallelujah is a transliteration of Hebrew: הַלְלוּ (hallū yāh), which means "praise ye Jah!" (from הַלְלוּ‎, "praise ye!" [8] and יָהּ‎, "Jah".)[9][10][11] The word hallēl in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah in modern English).
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah

“In traditional Christian thought, the final transition from life on earth to life in heaven is symbolized by crossing the Jordan River."
~ https://jesusway4you.com/2020/06/24/signs-and-symbols-of-the-bible-jordan-river/

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet.

"The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on."
~ Irving Berlin, songwriter.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
~ Terry Pratchett, English author.

Lyrics
Last night I dreamed my brother strode with Jesus by his side
With heavenly strength to move them on, they walked the ocean tide
I cried, “Dear brother, hold your haste, we all must journey home.”
“Jordan calls me,” was all he said, I knew myself alone
I knew myself alone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Last night I dreamed my brother rode in tandem with James Dean
Along the streets and the highways that to this world are unseen
I cried, “Dear brother, promise me, you’ll meet me when I come.”
He smiled his smile, and raised his hand, I felt my world undone
I felt my world undone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

And take me over Jordan, see my brother walk upon its shore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Yeah, take me over Jordan, for I am tired and so heartsore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Lyrics:

Show me, I’m the one you want

Say it slow, show me how you love

Show me how you love

I can not breathe, the waves are crashing onto me

Show me how you love

Falling, into my memories 

Where we were deeply in love

Our past can see, how we were meant to be

Show me how you love 

I can not breathe, the waves are crashing onto me

Show me how you love

Falling, into my memories 

Where we were deeply in love

Four Walls

[Chorus]
You’ve been So long

[Verse 1]
The pain,
It runs deep in me
My heart aches
A million reasons why,
That I can’t 

[Chorus]
You’ve been So long
You’ve been So long

[Verse 2]
Just want too,
See you remain
It feels like I’m going insane

[Chorus]
You’ve been So long
You’ve been So long

So long

WOW, Thank You so much! I didn't expect this song to reach 1000 plays. ❤️

Happy New Year Everyone! 
It's been a bit of a crazy and dark year, but...
It's a joy of being here listening to Your music and share with You mine for the entire 2023. I'm looking forward for Your next Year music. 

This is my newest, one evening project. I'm posting this as an experiment ;) This is me as I am, playing live in one take, then edited it a bit... It was a total improvisation... The piece developed as I played it. Apart from the background music, nothing was thought out. What came out is what came out ;)
It was a test of my new keyboard Nektar Impact GXP61 which I got for Christmas from my mom. Sorry, my left hand really feels like wood ;) But now I have a reason to make it move and play... And this was pure fun to make :) 

Thank You kindly for listening and I hope you like it at least a little bit!

This is small project in which I've used only 3 instruments: Spitfire Originals Epic Brass + Woodwinds - Woodwinds Live, Originals Media Tool Kit - Piano and VSL Free Celestial Strings.

On the photo is my "gear": old - on my desk and new - on the drawer shelf :)

the garden grows beneath her bed today
and the river flows beneath her head today
this empty dress she fills with leaves from outside
(these 40 days passed me by)
'cause the sun won't shine to keep her kindness alive

words spin 'round my head 'cause what you said, 
not what you meant to say... to see.

her sister shares the same thoughts and words as her
but the younger one feels the pain much deeper
again she fills her hands with dirt from outside
(these 40 days pass me by)
but the sun won't shine to keep her kindness alive

books and words and prayers spin round my head 
not what you meant to say... to see.

i can see a way to be with you again
fall down the stair like only you would do
my head's so cold my eyes are closed this time
and i wait to hear your voice from heaven above

Defeated death and sin and rose again

Made me whole saved my soul made me whole saved my soul

Found

I'm in hell with this lease
And now I'm here I fear I'll never leave
It's the worst place to be
Trying to survive on five dollars a week

So cruel!
Trying to climb out of this hole
So Cold!
I don't get no help from you

I'll get by
Whatever you throw at me
I'll get by you'll see 
Whatever you throw at me

So I tried not to eat
Then I got sick, tired, I got weak
The rooms so cold, to my feet
Trying to survive on five dollars a week

So cruel!
Trying to climb out of this hole
So Cold!
I don't get no help from you

I'll get by
I'll get by, you'll see

Five Dollars A Week

The second song in our summer series; "A Shared Horizon..." takes us from the bare existence of cave dwelling and primitive art; to tribal society, city/state, and advancing civilization. But it has its pitfalls. Just as basic moral values are amplified for the good of society, there lurks in the shadows a growing evil of greed and lust for power, often by the very leaders placed in power.  It would become for mankind "the best of times and the worst of times".
A huge thank you again to Seagull and Peter for their vision, creativity, and production expertise in making this series possible:) 
Oddrun;
Lead us on
To a golden dawn
A warming place
Of hope’s embrace
David;
And lo! Established as it was, the platform of our species from caved ashes so to rise
Though needs of leaders quite because of traits depraved that good Gods may despise.
But why in aeons’ sequence led you must as always to the route of social harms?
We placed therein our sacred trust of democratic fruits within your grasping scaly palms.
Each brave insanity’s crooked generation of your leadership has truly failed.
As the slave galley of humanity to the devil’s veneration unto hellish waters duly sailed.
Oddrun;
Save us now
Help us breathe somehow
You sate your greed
While our future bleeds
David;
On every front we count your preachers labouring ‘neath our own travails,
Freedoms, equity, justice, truth, each our moral sense assails,
Education, nurtured health and social care just as with security, were never profit counted there,
All ghosted children’s wealth stolen with impunity whilst you, despotic, thrive on bountied fare.
No plans for the good, the safe and caring, where parental ties ever fearful, are left despairing.
For every future you have raped, baring lies bequeathed upon the tearful bible of your swearing.
Oddrun;
Buried alive
‘Neath your craven lies
Your cataract eyes
The blinding fog of our demise
David;
And now the circle is complete on its infinity of broken planal points,
As to the murk we fall replete, a trinity of cloven hooves profanely to anoint.
And yet, as poverty defines this shrine, wherein within, there’s naught that’s mine,
Not even of old bone and stone, or painted ochre fine
But whilst my furry forebears appreciated well, all that on their back was theirs.
I smell the consequence that all your works regressive lack, for we, the caveman’s heirs.

Developing Man (Seagull; synths, Oddrun; vocals, Peter; lyric/poetry, David; guitars, narration)

A new composition......I wrote this song as I was thinking about my parents(Sam and Rose) whom have gone for nearly 20 years. I was fortunate to have had two of the most loving and supportive parents one could ever hope for. I still miss the once a week Saturday talks with them. Lots of advice and wisdom were passed on during those conversations.

Lyrics  

Sam and Rose, from the Allegheny Mountains,
Their love was as deep as the river streams,
In the old red house in Lilly, PA,
Where their three sons dreamed.

Mountain love, strong and true,
In the hearts of those two,
Through the storm and the rain,
Their love in eternity remains.

Through the seasons, they weathered the years,
Their bond unbreakable, crystal clear,
In the quiet of the night, under starlit skies,
Until the end their love shined bright.

In the western hills of Pennsylvania,
Their love was like a melody,
Sung by the wind and the trees,
Together forever and free

Mom and Dad, in the old red house,
Their love a beacon in the night,
In the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania,
Their story of eternal love forever bright.
