Feels like a visitation,
Although not quite an apparition,
When an angel passed by.

We've all shared such strange sensations,
Often without complications,
When an angel passed by.

When an angel passed by... when an angel passed by

An Angel Passed By - Tom Régnier and Mark J Bennett

This was supposed to accompany some vocals, but I realized it worked better as an instrumental piece. A different version with the vocals will follow at some point.

Hey Everyone!
Another song for another year. Tried to create some hope in these dark times.
All the best to you all!

Hope

Had a dream last night
the sun above us was shining bright
all the black clouds gone
on what we've waited for so long

Please don't say that I'm naive
and there is no hope at all
without hope there's no relief
even though it's very small

November, drizzling rain
feeling sad, still feel the pain
but there's some blue between the grey
and you'll see the sun will find its way

Please don't say that I'm naive
and there is no hope at all
without hope there's no relief
even though it's very small

Demokratiya -демократія

This is about the consequences of bullying. Morgan was 13, bullied at school mercilessly and relentlessly, until she committed suicide. When I read about the case years ago I found it distressing and later was moved to write this song. Don’t have a personal connection to what happened, I just found it really sad.


They found her in the morning
The sadness in her eyes remained
They had taunted and they teased
And broke her
She died in her sleep
Alone.

She fought them off as long as she could
They wore her down until the pain took…
She begged everyone
Rescue me from this pain.

They found her in the morning
The gladness in her heart erased
The tragedy of Morgan
Will haunt them
Each night as they sleep
Alone.

She fought them off as long as she could
They wore her down until the pain took…
She begged everyone
Rescue me from this pain.

Morgan can you tell us where you are
(The) life you lost was beautiful to us
Morgan can you show us what to do
(Your) life will shine a light for us from you.

Morgan
We miss you
Morgan 
We miss you
Morgan 
We miss you
Where are you, today?
We miss you.

Morgan can you tell us where you are 
(The) life you had was beautiful to us
Morgan can you show us what to do
(Your) life will shine a light for us from you.

Une exploration du réseau spatio-kairotique, avec le Souffle de Padirac... (un album complet est en préparation...)

Le Souffle de Padirac

"I would murder my heart a hundred times or more / For one more day with my eternal spring" 💔

"Le Printemps Éternel" - when love was endless season, before winter took everything away.

French electronic house about beautiful devastation. Sometimes the most dangerous songs are the ones that make destruction sound like devotion.

"She was my spring / when everything was growing / Now winter lives in me / since she's been gone"

Melancholic flow that'll break your heart while making you dance.

Le Printemps Éternel

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
