Mellow Fellow

2024 Remix and Remaster version to bring it up to the standard of the later album tracks for full album release in 2025.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lindisfarne has always held a special fascination for my wife and I, so it is no surprise to me that I would eventually create some music about it. Hopefully you can be swept away by the music but not the tide ;-)

This track is now the first track of the "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne

Background
Ever since 635, when King Oswald gave the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to St Aidan to establish his monastery, the island has been a place of pilgrimage. The road was not constructed until 1954 and until then the vertical poles were the only indicators of the safe route between the mainland and island. The sight of the poles stretching across the sand and mud is one of the most iconic views in Northumberland and to walk the route away from the road and follow in the footsteps of our medieval ancestors is a wonderful experience.

With 'The Pilgrims Way', there was actually very little research involved. Lindisfarne was a place both my wife and I loved and it was really created from a simple low whistle melody. I also included 'Foley' sounds to help in the immersion for the listener. Having got some initial positive feedback from some musical friends, I decided to try and create a series of pieces based around Lindisfarne. Given it's history and unique natural setting, there seemed plenty of material to go at.

The Pilgrims Way - 2024 Remix and Remaster

Bruno Cadillon (https://soundcloud.com/bruno-cadillon-847608847) proposed to me to write the lyrics turning into a song an instrumental track I had just uploaded to Soundcloud (Timelines, here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/timelines-final-draft). 
And here we have the song (see also https://soundcloud.com/bruno-cadillon-847608847/comment-fais-tu-ca-michele-ansanicab): is dedicated to Pierre Bonnard, a French painter (1867-1947) of the Nabis group, a post-impressionist movement. 
Thanks to Bruno - the piece is sung by him -, a true and versatile artist.

LYRICS

Commet fais-tu, ça, Pierre
Donner tant de vie
Commet fais-tu, ça, dis 

Derrière ta fenêtre
Il y a
Tant de couleurs claires
Tant de joies
Comment fais-tu ça, dis
Comment fais tu ça

Tous ces paysages  
Que tu voies
Ces chaises bancales
Cette simple table
Couleur sable

Toute cette douceur
cette chaleur
cela nous traverse
Nous transperce

Rester là peut-être
Que le temps s’arrête
Derrière ta fenêtre

Commet fais-tu ça pierre
D’un trait de lumière
Donner tant de vie

-----

How do you do that, Pierre
giving so much life
how do you do it, say 

Behind your window
There are
So many bright colours
So much joy
How do you do it, say
How do you do it

All these landscapes  
That you see
These wobbly chairs
This simple table
Brown and sandy

All that tenderness
all that warmth 
it goes through us
it pierces us

Stop there
maybe time may stand
behind that window

How do you do it, Pierre
To give the desire
How do you do it, say ... 

How can you, Pierre
With a stroke of light
To give so much life

Comment fais-tu ça [Michele Ansani & Bruno Cadillon]**

When i was a young Boy my father use to come home late at night drunk and looking for a fight with my Mother. She eventually got sick of the abuse and left him and i was left at home to help him.
Here is what i use to say to him.
I was 9 years old. 
Written and performed by : John Mc Farlane

Daddy Will You Hold My Hand

Of Nefity #150

Here's another easy, dirty, old strum refreshed somehow in these hot summer days. This used to be a song, but the years have taken the words away and only the initial chords remain in my memory and maybe that of some old friends.

Picture is from Pietro Corrao.

Are you the one
Always smiling
Seeing magic 
At every sunset

Breathing hope
At every snowfall
Are you the one
Always smiling

Are you the one
Always weeping
Your heart breaking
With every last goodbye

I still
Don't know 
Who you are
Are you the one?

Are you the one, are you the one…?

Are you the one
    are you the one
Always smiling
    always smiling
Seeing magic
    seeing magic 
At every sunset
   every sunset 

I still
  still don't know
Don't know
  I don't know
Who you are
  who are you? 
Are you the one?

Are you the one, are you the one…?

Are You the One?

Opening
I breathe in the quiet.
A quiet so deep, it feels older than time itself.
Ahead of me… the void unfolds,
a canvas of distant suns,
each one whispering a story I’ve yet to understand.

Section 1 — Leaving Home
There’s a moment, just before the engines ignite,
where fear and wonder weigh the same.
I close my eyes…
and the world I once knew drifts away
like a faint memory on the edge of sleep.
I am no longer bound to the soil that shaped me.
I am weightless.
Untethered.
Becoming part of something vast.

Section 2 — The Drift Into Space
The darkness isn’t empty.
It hums.
It breathes.
It surrounds me with possibilities I never imagined.
Stars slide past the window
like silent guardians of forgotten eras.
Every pulse of the ship carries me
deeper into the unknown,
where gravity loosens its grip
and time begins to stretch.

Section 3 — The Realization
I start to understand…
space isn’t a place.
It’s a journey inward.
Each drifting particle,
each silent planet,
mirrors the uncharted territory inside myself.
I am learning to listen—
to the stillness,
to the echoes of a universe older than language.

Section 4 — Approaching the Super Galaxy Cluster
And then…
the darkness changes.
A glow rises on the horizon—
soft at first, like the breath of dawn.
But it grows…
and grows…
a colossal cluster of galaxies weaving a tapestry of light.
Stars swirling in newborn storms.
Worlds colliding, merging, reborn.
I feel the pull of it.
Ancient. Powerful.
As if the cosmos itself is drawing me in,
inviting me to witness its secrets.

Section 5 — Understanding the Journey
I realize now—
this voyage was never about distance.
It was about perspective.
About standing on the threshold
between what is known
and what waits beyond imagination.
About letting the universe reshape me
in its own slow, quiet way.

Closing
So I drift forward,
inch by inch,
heartbeat by heartbeat,
toward the living sea of galaxies.
Not as an explorer…
but as a witness.
A part of the story
the universe has been telling
long before I arrived—
and long after I am gone.

A Witness to the Universe

Fake Friends

Bridges, roads ... Meetings, partings ... All this is chaos - in it we are only actors. It's so hard to remember and so easy to forget. But the house is already so close - even if you are gone ...

Dolbania - Ты Ушла

Update (December 9, 2025). 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MagLpl21qdY
I’ve posted the entire suite “In case nothing happens” on YouTube, including the two parts that are still missing here, accompanied by a very simple video.


Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun. I’ve been here for at least 10 years, but only recently have I started using the platform for something other than just external digital storage.
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.
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.

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

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