Some of Us is Me

2022 Janine Levinson
Guitar: Jonathan Beckenstein  @jonathan_beckenstein
   
I’m sorry that I’m not somebody else    
I’m sorry if I let my people down
I didn’t ask for anybody’s help        
I’m sorry that I waited for this long

But it’s like trying to move your life ahead with a stranger at the wheel 
While trying very hard to get along

I’m sorry that I wrecked my lover’s heart
I hope he knows I wrecked my own heart too
I should have looked somewhere outside myself
I hope there’s room for me inside of you

Cause I’ve been trying to stand up straight when I am broken past repair
And still trying very hard to fix what’s wrong 

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

I sometimes wish tomorrow wouldn’t come
But yesterday has problems of his own 
Next to you’s the only thing I’ve got
I wish I knew someplace where I belonged   

And I’ve been trying to stand up straight 
‘Cause I was thinking you might share--
And make my little world not feel so wrong

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

Some Of Us Is Me - with Jonathan Beckenstein

This song is for anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissistic or toxic person. As anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist knows, it is incredibly painful. Years can be wasted staying stuck in the relationship triangle of frustration, self-pity or believing you can fix them. When you finally realize that the only way to move forward is to completely cut them out of your life forever you are on the first steps to freedom. Expressing the anger you feel from all the abuse and time wasted is the first step to healing. Hope this song can help you to feel it’s okay to be angry. 

Share this song with someone who needs to hear this.

Mad As Hell

Every year in December, the high fog in Vienna starts to weigh heavily, and I tend to forget what summer is like. I mean, literally, going out of the house without a jacket seems like such a distant memory to me that it could well stem from a fairy tail.
In this song, I wanted to capture my essence of summer. A meadow with a plentitude of different flowers, undulating in a breeze of wind. A short rain shower that clears the air and leaves a fresh scent. Lying in the grass, running through it and simply embracing nature. And the melancholic certainty that it is still so many months till I cann enjoy this again …

Composition-wise the piece consist of three variations @ 0:0, 1:01 and 2:42 which level off into different directions after the initial same 9 notes in the beginning. 
In each variation, after some bars of intro, the right hand is shifted versus the left hand so that the „1“ of the right hand comes 1/8 resp 1/16 before the respective „1“ of the left hand. With that offset I try to evoke the feeling of the blossoms moving like soft waves in the wind. 
The tension in the piece comes besides some syncopics also from the gradually increasing metrum in the left hand – from ¼ in the beginning to the subsequent 1/8 pattern starting @ 0:10 that builds the left-hand structure for most of the piece on to the intermittent faster segment @ 2:11 ff with 1/16 metrum.

The piece has been recorded on a Roland FP-90

Lyrics: 

What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
Can I believe?
When you hold my hand and keep me near,
Your eye tell me lies,
Tell me lies, my dear. 
.
What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
Can I believe?
When you hold my hand and keep me near,
Your eye tell me lies,
Tell me lies, my dear. 
.
If only,
I could tell you you were beautiful
To me.
.
If only,
I could let you know with just one dance 
That every chance to love you,
Is a gift from you to me.
.
If only,
I could tell you you were beautiful
To me.
If only. 
.
If only,
I could let you know with just one smile
That the way you make feel right now 
Helps me to be me somehow. 
.
I wish that I could find the words to let you know,
That the lies your eyes say,
In my mind,
Are the sweetest words,
That I,
Will ever find. 
.
I wish that I could find the words to let you know,
That the lies your eyes say,
In my mind,
Are the sweetest words,
That I,
Will ever find. 
.
I'm still-
Haunted my dear
Haunted by you,
When you're near.
I'm so- 
Haunted my dear
Haunted by you,
When you're near.
.
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
Oh I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
.
What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies, 
Oh your eyes tell me lies,
Yes your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
In your eyes 
In your eyes
My surprise is in your eyes. 
.
-end-

A Big Thank You to Zeralda for composing and contributing these wonderful keythemes and the rhythm section…

The picture shows „Ursli“, member of my bro’s family, a pronounced sniffer…

You can use red contact lenses
You can also glue on a false beard
Maybe put a wig upon your head
Or simply dye your hair
Using sausage water to create a false trail ?
Or hide in Mino's maze

ref 
nonetheless, nonetheless, nonetheless

2
You can plane your fingertips
Put on a perfume Chanel No 5
You can walk backwards in the snow
You may even use stealth technology
You can change means of transport
Or walk upstream
Perhaps hiding behind waterfalls
Or also put on a spacesuit
You can speed away in a really fast car
Even take a plane
You can hide on a cruise- or containership
As a blind passenger

ref 
but nonetheless, but nonetheless

3
You can forge the ID
Even swap your tax number
Or even change your health insurance
You can lay false tracks everywhere

out (2)
You might think you left without trace
But Dr Sniff’s already got your pace
You could even try to hide in hell
But Dr Sniff’s already taken up your smell 

Already taken up your smell… (4)

Dear Reader, dear Listener! I am glad that I may welcome you on my channel.
Stemming from Vienna, I feature here my compositions which I pursue after my daytime job. Though this is not my main job, I devote a lot of effort and practice into crafting, refining and rehearsing my pieces.

My musical journey started when I was 6 year old and subscribed to piano lessons in the public music school of Vienna (thanks to the city of Vienna for funding the beginnings of my passion; Yes, I am a big supporter of publicly funded education!). I finished my piano education (mostly centered around classic and romantic music) at the age of 22 and have since pursued my passion of playing and composing. I had year-long interruptions due to my work leading me astray from home; still I recorded also in these times fragments, ideas and tunes onto my voice recorder – must have been a strange sight when I was humming and whistling on the airports. 
Besides my piano pursuit, I have been part of a local quire for the past 30 years. We have been covering a huge repertoire from Rennaissance up to 20th century contemporary music which gave me a more comprehensive view of different styles and genres. 
My music is a fusion of different styles, stemming from my musical education and more modern, contemporary elements from Jazz, Rock or Pop. I constantly aim to explore the limits and extend the boundaries of my composing style in the different pieces. Like: 
Exploring various scales and tonalities. Building the tension curve of the overall piece by switching between soothing and rhythmic parts. Experimenting with syncopes and polyrhythmics. Modulating along but also across the circle of fifth. Mastering of the track.

If you like what you are hearing, I would be delighted if you follow my channel; if you have feedback (positive and in particular also constructive suggestions for further improvement), I would very much appreciate it in the comments or if you leave me a private message.
Enjoy your time with my music!
