Grandmother to 24
intro voice, my 93 year old Mum, talking about her Mum.....Emily.

While on my own i find myself lost in the past
maybe i should step back and leave well alone
For there you are ready to receive me
feel safe and warm wrapped in the arms of emily

long ago wished i could have told you so
such a long time ago ooh how i loved you so
ooh how i loved you so....emily

you were gone in a blink of an eye
i should have come and whispered goodbye
 i was young but it doesnt ease the hurting
age is not an excuse its all i have

long ago wished i could have told you so
such a long time ago ooh how i loved you so
ooh how i loved you so....emily

Everyone i see
Every smile i give
What does it mean to me 
If you leave

All the love we spelled
All in my body
Stronger when you held
Held me

Set me free
Set me free

I will always be there for you
I will watch you like a work of art 
I will make you happy for two
But I won't get your heart

All the dreams we shared
Promises that we made
Every step we braved
They fade

Set me free
Set me free

I will always be there for you 
I will watch you like a work of art
I will make you happy for two 
But I won't get your heart

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

I'll never ever say Goodbye 
Call me  if you need me sometimes
I will dry your tears when you cry
But I know you'll never be mine

We'll live forever as a work of art
and I will never get your heart

Tout le monde que je vois
Chaque sourire que je fais
Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire pour moi 
Si tu pars

Tout l'amour que nous avons épelé
Tout dans mon corps
Plus fort quand tu me tenais
Me tenais

Libère-moi
Libère-moi

Je serai toujours là pour toi
Je te regarderai comme une œuvre d'art 
Je te rendrai heureuse pour deux
Mais je n'obtiendrai pas ton coeur

Tous les rêves que nous avons partagés
Les promesses que nous avons faites
Chaque pas que nous avons bravé
Ils s'estompent

Libère-moi
Libère-moi

Je serai toujours là pour toi 
Je te regarderai comme une œuvre d'art
Je te rendrai heureuse pour deux 
Mais je n'obtiendrai pas ton coeur

Libère-moi
Libère-moi
Libère-moi
Libère-moi

Je ne dirai jamais au revoir 
Appelle-moi si tu as besoin de moi parfois
Je sécherai tes larmes quand tu pleureras
Mais je sais que tu ne seras jamais à moi

Nous vivrons pour toujours comme une œuvre d'art
et je n'obtiendrai jamais ton coeur

Set Me Free

Summer of '23

August marks 3 years since the passing of Per-Olov Lemhagen, Master Peo, as he was known on Bandcamp, mp3u.com and other music platforms.

Peo was a clarinetist and used to play in a swing band in the 50's in Sweden. His familiarity with the instruments, arrangements and all that goes into creating authentic band pieces made him a valuable mentor in the American Jazz classics.

This one, Darktown Strutter's Ball is such a piece, and it was always a joy and a learning experience for me to lend a vocal to Peo's arrangements.  This is loosely based on Ella Fitzgerald's version of this classic.  Peo wanted to slow the tempo for his interpretation...which worked for me too ;)

In memory of Peo.

Lyrics:
Darktown Strutters Ball

I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey.
Better be ready about half past eight.
Now baby, don't be late,
I wanna be there when the band start playing.
Remember when we get there, baby,
Two-steps, I'm gonna have them all,
Gonna dance out of both of my shoes,
When they play that Jelly Roll Blues,
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

Songwriter:  Shelton Brooks
1915

Time to sit down and let the load from the day, roll off your mind and enjoy a few minutes of peace.  This is the goal of this musical composition.  We trust it is enjoyable.

Cool Breeze Let Down

Welcome to Nic's SoundCloud.
This is my first song of 2024. I sat listened to a show on YT and got inspired to this song and recorded it tonight the first night of the new year..

A journey inward through the soft folds of the mind. Veil of Thoughts drifts like smoke in grayscale light, where memories dissolve into sound. It invites listeners into quiet introspection and lucid stillness.

Veil of Thoughts

In a world where flora evolved to think and remember, a lone being known as the Verdant ascended from the soil to commune with the orchid — the most ancient and sentient of all plants. The orchid was said to store echoes of every living creature that had ever inhaled its scent, a biological archive of consciousness itself. As the Verdant pressed its lips to the bloom, not to eat but to listen, memories poured into it like sunlight through glass — wars, love songs, storms, the sound of rain on extinct oceans.
