Lyrics:

(verse1)
Rich in lifestyle, born to run wild.
Hellbound nation, choose right wiseguy.
Societie’s fabric, built on pure lies.
Stick to the boundaries, live and let die.
Was it all planned from beginning?
A race for land and food, the greed unending
Forgive me if I’m rude, but stop pretending.
You won’t want one side to lose if you were on the other 
The pull the push, so strong, get in line follow your leader
that’s magnetic, that’s magnetic

(Chorus)
I’m the solution to the mystery that cannot be solved.
A dream, a hope, a pray, I’ve seen evolve 
From what’s the answer to the problem 
to the problem being solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
Love is still the answer, love is still the answer

(Verse2)
The magnetic pull, Music has on my soul.
Vibrations of energy, sparks of sequence inside of me.
The essence of it all, is like a freefall
Music pull me from within, is all that I recall.
I don’t question destiny, was written inside of me
It’s not hidden,  so all can see,
Things are as they should be
Things are as they should be
that’s magnetic, that’s magnetic

(Chorus)
I’m the solution to the mystery that cannot be solved.
A dream, a hope, a pray, I’ve seen evolve
From what’s the answer to the problem 
to the problem being solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
Love is still the answer, love is still the answer [echo]
(verse1)
(Chorus)

Magnetic

For my friend from Shrewsbury – and for everyone who is there for others with love and strength.

The Way You Stay is a very personal song I originally wrote just for a close friend. After hearing it, he told me I should definitely release it – and so I did.

It tells about the importance of being there for each other – especially when life gets heavy.

It’s about the quiet strength of caring and the love that lies within those moments. About two people who carry each other and the closeness that grows from it.

But this song is not only for him – it’s for everyone who cares for others, quietly, steadily, and wholeheartedly.

A song about trust, friendship, and the strength that comes from staying.

Behind the music:
From the beginning I knew I wanted a choir in this song. I thought about it for a long time, wondering how it could work. In the end, I recorded more than 24 vocal tracks – all with my own voice – and processed them in such a way that the choir is made up of many little Axels.

I truly hope you enjoy listening to it.

The video for the song is available on YouTube:

The Way You Stay

He clears the table when the day is done,
he hides his worries from everyone. 
She takes his hand, and with her touch,
he feels he´s more than strong enough.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

He keeps the light on late into the night,
she gives him reason, keeps his heart upright.
He hears her laughter, and it pulls him through,
that’s the reason she gives to do.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

From far away I see you two,
the care, the trust, the gentle view.
It moves me more than words can say –
I hold you close, though far away.

That’s the way you stay,
when the nights turn colder.
That’s the way you love,
growing older.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.


The Way You Stay

Lyrics:
My body begs to be read like a crime scene
She looks at me, fiercely, like a piece of meat
She eye fucks me within her dreams obscene
Caught in her world where our desires meet

Pre-Chorus
I could have asked for a warrant, but what for ?
Your dominant gaze kicks down my door.
Strip-search my soul, reveal what’s true,
Nudity tells secrets, they’re calling to you.

(Chorus)
Oh, strip-search, take me down to the bare
Naked and breathless, I can't help but stare
Tattooed temptress, you set my heart racing
Confused and horny, lost in your pacing

In the basement glow, where secrets collide
I’m naked in front of you, I’ve got nothing to hide.
Your tattoos tell a story, where each line ignites
Every curve of your skin sends me flying kites

(Bridge)
I’m confused, I’m torn, but I crave what I feel,
The rush of surrender, it’s painfully real.
Latex glove searching, probing my private space
In this burning fantasy, we’re lost in the chase

(Chorus)
Oh, strip-search, take me down to the bare
Naked and breathless, I can't help but stare
Tattooed temptress, you set my heart racing
Confused and horny, lost in your pacing

(Outro)
So here in this basement, where secrets collide,
A tattooed enchantress, with nowhere to hide.
In the dark, I discover what I didn’t know,
The thrill of the strip-search, a sweet afterglow.

Strip search

Thank you for listening.

TITLE: THE CRYSTAL MAIDEN
______________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
The tide whispered secrets she couldn’t ignore
Her feet traced patterns on the shimmering shore
Each tear she wept
A jewel in disguise
Glinting like stars fallen from the skies

(Chorus)
Crystal maiden
Bound to the sea
Her sorrow shines for eternity
But take her heart
You’ll pay the toll
Lose what you love
Lose your soul

(Verse 2)
A crown of salt
Her hair wild with breeze
She sang to the moon
She sang to the trees
The waves carried whispers of her plight
Turning her pain into shards of light

(Pre-chorus)
Oh beware the gleam
The treasure’s hue
It gives
It takes
It sees through you

(Chorus)
Crystal maiden
Bound to the sea
Her sorrow shines for eternity
But take her heart
You’ll pay the toll
Lose what you love
Lose your soul

(Bridge)
Legends speak of those who came
Greed in their eyes
Hearts aflame
They left the shore with empty hands  
And hearts as barren as the sands

Every Tear Is Priceless

TIMOTHY LEARY  LONG TIME
YOU AND I NO SEE
FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
SHINE ON CRAZY STRAWBERRY
BLURRY IS THE OPEN SEA
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE

EMOTION IN MOTION
THAT’S THE WAY TO FUNCTION
COOLNESS IN A POTION
SPIRITUAL ACTION
TUNE IN TURN ON DROP OUT

TIMOTHY DEARIE OH BABY
IT IS CLEAR TO SEE
FROM THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT
A HORSEMAN WITH NO HORSE
A HORSE WITH NO NAME
LEARN TO BE AND NOT TO BE

EMOTION IN MOTION
CAN YOU FEEL THE SUCCION
CHOCOLATE EXPLOSION
MARTIAN REVELATION
TUNE ON TURN OUT DROP IN

TIMOTHY LEARY (Lyrics + notes)

In collaboration with Francess Harris. She played the piano composition and I did the composition of the orchestral arrangement. Thank you for listening and enjoy. Any comment is appreciated always.

The Calling (feat. Fr. Harris)

Bird

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
And then I closed my heart for a moment.

You, barely coping, and on me leaning,
To me I lost your words' meaning, 
'cause I turned away for just a minute
Then troubled waters flooding in,
And there I was, about to, 
To let you go.

What cruel lesson broke my heart?
What left me dying but loving your art?
Don't have to think of it now,
I can always be the one,
So, let me in and set me free
You must not leave... before me. 

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
And closed my eyes for just a moment.

You, barely coping, and on me leaning,
To me I lost your words' meaning, 
'cause I closed my eyes for just a minute
Then troubled waters flooding in,
And there I was, about to, 
To let you go.

A cruel lesson broke my heart 
What left me dying but loving your art?
Don't have to think of it now,
I can always be the one,
So, let me in and set me free
You must not leave before me. 

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
But the flames of eternal love never noticed
The flames of eternal love never noticed.


All My Days

(Verse 1)
I say words don’t mean much,
not when the truth’s been burned.
You tried to build it back with silence,
but silence never learned.
The cracks still show through every promise,
like scars that never fade,
and every time you reach for faith,
You find the trust was never made.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come quick,
and it won’t return clean —
but if I stand my ground,
You might believe again.

(Verse 2)
We keep talkin’ ‘bout new beginnings,
but the past won’t let us go.
Every truth sounds like forgiveness
that we’re scared to show.
I ain’t sayin’ it’s all broken,
just sayin’ it’s been rough —
to make your heart believe again,
Haven't I bled enough.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come cheap,
and it won't return clean —
but if I stay long enough,
You might believe again.

(Bridge)
Maybe time’s the only proof we get,
maybe words can’t fix regret.
But every hand you hold,
every truth you keep —
it builds what we both forget.

(Outro)
So don’t promise me forever,
just stand here till it’s true.
’Cause trust don’t start with talking —
it starts with you.

The Winter Chill

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my tracks, the most of the representing a  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and in addition to them, also to a minor but growing  LISTS of MY MY OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music, & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
Veikko
These recordings are not commercially available, and ANY KIND OF THEIR COMMERCIAL USE IS PROHIBITED.
