Wonderful composition, perfectly arranged, sung and played! A real treat! Thank you both for this!

grande arrangiamento e piano da pelle d'oca....✨✨✨⚘🍷⚘🍷⚘🍷⚘🥂🤝

Such a graceful song. Lovely. I wouldn't mind for your orchestration to be be even more forward, especially towards the ending.

It is a beautiful song, plaintive, appealing, and impressionistic made all the more beautiful by your thoughtful arrangement.  You have an intuitive sense of counterpoint that engages the flow and mood of the music.

Bel ouvrage ! Cela me fait plaisir d'écouter parfois de ces chansons dont l'inspiration poétique m'envoie vers l'insouciance et l'imaginaire. Un peu le souvenir du Prévert de mon enfance ! Michele, ton orchestration est tout à fait appropriée.

so sweet melody & singing… fantastic song👌🏻🥰

English is such a coarse language.. French..Italian.. Spanish.. are for making art.. 🙏🏼

My friend Bruno Cadillon (Cab: https://soundcloud.com/bruno-cadillon-847608847) proposed to me last summer to arrange this song of his. I did it, altough with my less than excellent skills. I think the song is very beautiful. And the video produced by Bruno is also very nice, giving a better idea of his versatile talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktr-SbZqnv8
I think here the lyrics are difficult to translate into other languages, so (as he did) I leave them in French.
All imperfections are mine, as always.

De mon pouce
Je repousse
La mousse

Dans l’eau douce
Barberousse
S’émousse

Je pars en mer
Éphémère
Quitte ou double
Assis par terre
Un chien couvert
De plumes d’oie
Aboie sur un chat
Qui s’en fout bien
Il demande un verre
Qu’il boit d’un trait
Vodka glacée
Me regardant
d’un air étonné

De mon pouce
Je repousse
La mousse

Dans l’eau douce
Barberousse
S’émousse

Accroché là
Éphémère
Quitte ou double
Assis par terre
La peau couverte
De plumes d’oie
J’aboie à la lune
Qui s’en fout bien
Lui fait une prière
Vodka glacée
Très épicée
C’est terminé
Et m’endors par terre

Barberousse [Bruno Cadillon with Michele Ansani]

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

By popular demand (well, actually just my daughter’s — she insists it’s the “cooler” platform), I’ve finally started putting some of my music on Spotify too...

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
