poem: " Tell Me " , by Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818- 19 Dec. 1848)
Haworth, England

Describing time is not ever going to be easy, but in her own unique way, Emily Brontë is able to effectively convey a powerful means of doing so.
The images described are fairly simple — the past is something to be longed for, the present is something to plan in, and the future is something to look forward to.
The natural imageries used are phenomena that a child might observe all the time while growing up. The childlike simplicity of the metaphors combined with it`s inner meanings is what makes this poem so beautiful.

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour ?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

And what is the future, happy one ?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.'

Tell Me. Torbjørn Vagle and Oddrun Eikli. Trumpet: Arne Hiorth

I thought I’d write a song about high diving coz I'm not good with heights and that was the closest I was going to get to standing on the top board. Hope ya like it!   

Lyrics

Gonna start with a pike
Do a twist, a jack-knife
A quick tuck, if there I have the time
To get everything right      
You need so much height
The last guy scored a straight nine

Roll the fulcrum right back
Give that board a big thwack
Launch yourself up in the air
When someone shouts ‘whoa!’
That’s when you know
You are off on a tear

Roll the fulcrum right back
Give the board a big thwack
Launch yourself up in the air
When someone shouts ‘whoa?’
Well that’s when you know
It’s not going too well from here

The entry a flop
Your belly red hot
Under the water you hear
Crowd ridicule
You feel such a fool
But you have to…
Surface …
For air …

The High Diver's Lament

ABOUT YOU BIG BIRD

There’s a smoky trail across the sky
Behind you big bird as you fly
I’m running waving both hands free
But my mommas come to capture me

My mom she’s got this thing you see
About you bird we don’t agree
She don’t like your fiery tail
She’s gonna capture me and hide away

Big bird flying across the sky
I don’t know you or your reasons why
Big bird do you come to play
Mommas got bad things to say 
About you Big Bird

We been here a thousand years
Momma says that you don’t care
Your fireworks that light the streets
Make houses fall to dust and heat

The baker man went yesterday
A puff of smoke, an empty tray
I kind of liked your flashing bomb
But Momma ranted all night long

About You Big Bird

It is certainly a privilege to sing to the notes of a splendid melody (Approuching midnight) composed and played by my dear Canadian friend Philip (@classicalglass-1)
Thanks for stopping by and listening from both of us
Paolo
I troppi si e la paura del perdente
Ti renderanno schiavo sai
nessuno mai abbastanza ti ringrazierà
E fermati a riflettere 
Quando narciso attaccherà
per pochi spiccioli non vendere
La dignità
 
Ci proverò a dire no
Quando la rabbia supera l’amore
Tu giura che nessuno mai potrà passare il limite
Difendi il lato tenero dell’anima
E’ notte fonda e sono ancora sveglio
E so anche il perché
Domani dovrò dire di no …e lo farò

Non ho mai perso il sorriso
dentro di me
e con la gioia nel cuore
io morirò
io morirò

Too many yeses and the fear of the loser
They will enslave you, you know
no one will ever thank you enough
stop and think
When narcissus will attack
for a few pennies do not sell
Dignity
 
I'll try to say no
When anger overcomes love
You swear that no one will ever cross the line
Defend the tender side of the soul
It is late at night and I am still awake
And I also know why
Tomorrow I'll have to say no ... and I will

I have never lost my smile
inside me
and with joy in the heart
I will die
I will die

Out of joy and gratitude for the election outcome 
and the prospect of a positive and especially human change - 
I dedicate my new track to the beacon of hope.

Katharsis

Une autre ballade bien pop composée à l'occasion de mes séances de travail du jeu aux doigts à la guitare... 

On m'a aussi demandé ce que c'était que ce style de progressive norvegian pop, euh en fait c'est rien du tout, juste un délire... Mais le style est quand même bien marqué non ? C'est presque dommage que je ne sois pas norvégien...

Quelques progrès mais si on écoute bien il reste des petits canards qui couinent par ci par là, et ma guitare mériterait aussi d'avoir des micros noiseless pour bien faire mais je me refuse à ce genre d'achats tant que je sais pas mieux jouer... Ce sera ma récompense :)

Apres le soleil le beau temps

Jamming around one or two of Billy Gibbons’ classic guitar licks with a few of my own licks.

Blue Jeans Blues (Instrumental)

A collaboration with Torbjørn Vagle and Jimmy Rivas.

I sent a demo of the song with the basic chord sequence to Torbjørn  and Jimmy in the hope they would consider joining me for another collaboration, Torbjørn to add his exceptional keyboards, Jimmy to write lyrics and provide his powerful and distinctive vocal, luckily for me they both agreed.

Torbjørn  and Jimmy’s contributions have lifted the song to a level way beyond my original demo, thanks very much for your outstanding work guys.

Triumph over adversity is the theme here, I think we can all relate.

Love John Prine's music! This is a quick raw cover of one of his songs.
Check out John's music on YouTube.

Friends from S.C. I wish you all the best in the coming 2021 :)

My music is very instinctive. I like all kinds 
of music even if I attend most assiduously 
 Pop, Classical and Jazz.
I compose mostly with the piano but 
I'm experimenting  with the composition
 with acoustic guitar. I enjoy playing Sax 
and Trumpet (keys) in my tracks and in 
collaboration with other soundclouders.
I write and sing in Italian lyric and I am
 improving my singing in English. I hope
 my passion for music can give
 you some nice feeling.
