Remember This Dance, My Darling!

Who is that girl selling flowers?
Didn't I see her before?
Somewhere when we were just children
In a garden where no one grows old

Look at that oak tree in autumn
Leaves of golden and brown
Is it from sadness or courage
That one will be first to fall down?

Some roses only bloom once each summer
And then, maybe just for a day
Their fragrance a wordless wisdom
Of memories taken away

Remember this dance, my darling!
I will soon be a lifetime away
The rainbow of freedom is hollow
And our moments forever delayed

Look, that old man he is crying
His secrets are all obsolete
The pearls of his dreams now are falling
From his soul and land by his feet

This hour of moonlight can fool you
Thinking that black is white
Enticing a fluttering innocent flame
To disappear into evil night

I whisper you name for the last time
To the world it remains undisclosed
Echoes lost in the morning mist
Of desires you once aroused

Remember this dance, my darling!
I will soon be a lifetime away
The rainbow of freedom is hollow
And our moments forever delayed

Who is that girl selling flowers?
I never saw her before
In her eyes a shimmering longing
For a garden where no one grows old

Remember this dance, my darling!
I will soon be a lifetime away
The rainbow of freedom is hollow
And our moments forever delayed

Remember This Dance, My Darling! [An original song] (new version)

“Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.” 
― Frank Zappa

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life as well as a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer, as far as I'm concerned, our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*

Hello friends!!
I am a musician-composer who likes to create deep and melodic music, always searching imaginary micro-worlds that capture the notes.

I like to do different music, whenever there is dialogue and melodic instrumental alloy.

I appreciate very much the visit, and feel free to comment on or share music, if they think they deserve.

I am also open to collaborations, so do not hesitate to ask me, if they wish.

1 Greetings to all. Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hola amigos!!
Soy un músico-compositor al que le gusta crear melodías profundas y armónicas, en busca siempre micro-mundos imaginarios que plasmar con las notas.  

Me gusta hacer música diversa, siempre que haya diálogo instrumental coherente, y una aleación melódica que estimule mi imaginación.

Les agradezco mucho la visita, y siéntanse libres de opinar o compartir el contenido, si creen que así lo merece.

También estoy abierto a colaboraciones, así que, no duden en pedírmelo, si lo desean.

1 saludo a todos. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!

💖✨ Untiring Tiger, I started to tell my Chronicles in 2014, here on Soundcloud, evolving into different musical spheres (Deep House /// Chillout/Ambient/Progressive Trance  /// Trance Upbeat /// Techno) until I started to go Downtempo in 2015, creating the genre I called Ethno Deep, unable to tag properly my mixes. I don't "play" downtempo, I create it on my decks. A part of me lives here, telling and sharing ShAnkAri's Chronicles, flowing mystic... 🙏🏽🎵💜✨

Today, I remix Hip-Hop/Rap//Pop adding my Downtempo touch : callin' it #Rapnotech and crafting dj mixes with them (seed has been sowed, some copycats already popped out, that's how the story goes)
1/ No profit done, except if we officially collab and you wanna put the remix on sale. No monetized account. 
2/ I give credits : composers come first ; whatever I do is an echo and a tribute to their creativity.
(You want me to put smthg down, please message me, will do ! 😉🤝 )

I make music everyday, from 2 to 10am, home. When it's a mix, it's a gingerly curated acoustic experience, followed with its meticulously crafted visual storytelling, composed of anonymous artworks that I collect and that you can watch on my YouTube channel...

✨✨✨

Next to what, I'm an astrologer, don't hesitate to message me, astrology being the single key to understand what Reality is, and how it works. 

The highest degree of consciousness one can reach inside Reality is to know that what is called Consciousness is actually fully driven by the stars. Mind is the Witness of the Experience that is a lifetime.  

"Know yourself" means : go to an astrologer and let them read your Birth Sky, that contains your Settings, and the Script of this path in Time that you call your Life. It's your monad's Karma. Astrologer has nothing else to propose. Since there's nothing else to get. 

Welcome with any question 👐🏽☸️💜🎵✨


Namaste, Anne-Aude B. aka ShAnkAri 🌿🌺🎨🎵💜🍃

Based in Amsterdam, I embarked on a profound journey through the world of music, drawing inspiration from the rich, soulful sounds of artists like Goldcap, Satori, Svendsen, and Sabo. I have a passion for creating downtempo mixes that are trippy and infused with vibes from various musical styles and cultures. My sets seamlessly blend exotic melodies with organic house rhythms, crafting an immersive experience that resonates deeply with the soul and uplifts the spirit, inviting listeners to embark on a transformative journey through vibrant beats and deep, meditative grooves
