Play On 140 BPM--lyrics
It’s a vibe—-just a vibe
Come on and follow me
Float with me—— soar with me 
Surely you will see
Flying high ——oh so high
Come on fly with me
To the ultimate level
Easy as could be

I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving—-come on follow me 
Step inside—-Feel the vibe—it’s almost heavenly 
Warm and deep—-take the leap—a total odyssey 
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency
find the frequency

now vibe with me
come on vibe with me 
come on fly with me
come on vibe with me —come on

Come on where you been—— the challenge is within 
Again it all like ——letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain—-can’t stop its happenings 
The power and strength —-all ——-so——ravishing 
No heights——depth—- or lengths—-never limiting
Day or night——anytime ——nothing is more certain 
It’s what you hear and how you feel —-that—- interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind—-what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve —-and that is —-everything 
that is —-everything

I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving—-come on follow me 
Step inside—-Feel the vibe—it’s almost heavenly 
Warm and deep—-take the leap—a total odyssey 
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency
Free your mind —-let’s unwind——and find the frequency

Come on where you been—— the challenge is within 
Again it all like ——letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain—-can’t stop its happenings 
The power and strength —-all ——-so——ravishing 
No heights——depth—- or lengths—-never limiting
Day or night——anytime ——nothing is more certain 
It’s what you hear and how you feel —-that—- interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind—-what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve —-and that is —-everything 
that is —-everything

No era

A deep and dark song about sorrow and sadness. Initially written on piano, I decided to add dissonances and abstract soundscapes. I am very happy that Michael leaned into the dark theme and wrote sparse lyrics with a lot of meaning in between the words.

==== LYRICS ====

I'm on my own
Here alone
Almost at the bottom
How did we fail?

Did we change?
How are you?
Because I found
Something inside
Something close to us

It's only some words
Calling out 
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true
    
Help me
Help me understand
This new land
Desolate and blue

In the end
It's always been us
You and me
On our own journey

To a new place
It's only some words
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true

Calling To Me

Do you have an Exit Strategy? "I wish".
Do you want an Exit Strategy? "Don't know. What is there?"
Next Exit: for emergence use only. "Go to the next!"
Next Exit: Financial Freedom. "No, go to the next".
Next Exit: Future. "The next?"
Next Exit: Happy Life. "Ok: the next?".
Next Exit: New You. "The old one is enough, go to the next".
Next Exit: Are you prepared? "Yes!"
Next Exit: Can you escape? "Don't want".
Next Exit: Retirement. "Yes!"

Another old track restored, adding new sounds (mainly from Spitfire Labs) to those of the Yamaha PSR 630. Vocals courtesy of NERVO Vocal Jams. The overlapping of old (separated) and new tracks generates always some 'unnecessary' noise.

Lyrics 

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I guess I gotta take a chance
I guess I gotta take a chance

Something's got to give
Something's gotta give
Something's got to give
Someone’s gotta give

I'm so tired

What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do i do not do
What I want to do I do not do

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I guess I gotta take a chance
I guess I gotta take a chance

Something's got to give
Something's gotta give
Something's got to give
Someone’s gotta give

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired

What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do I do not do
What I want to do i do not do
What I want to do I do not do

What I Want To Do I Do Not Do

Great setup here... really cool tune

This track is built on this

An original track by artist Pacôme from Paris

In short... I merged my song about Water with Pacôme song Water and we get Emerging Water. Words are reimagined from my song The Elixir Key

Listen to 📜The Elixir Key by The Beautiful Dark on #SoundCloud

Full lyrics to follow

Yeah
Watering a word way...
What do the orbs say?
We found French focus freed
A la Paris
A la Paris
Flavour brie
Cuts of cheese
Elixir keys
Elixir keys
Sois la brise
A la Paris

Oui

It seems like an age since yesterday
Tomorrow is a cloud faraway
The words we say
The games we play
Boom the thunder sounds
Now, tamed

The feelings hail
Bemused curtailed
Thoughts have wandered bliss on the smoothest trail
We've gone and saved this from grey
It's black and white today
Refracted rainbow now freed
Water tunes this light
Triangular tease
Sois eau. Sois brise
A la Paris
Oui

(Note: these lyrics are inspired by points that Bill Bryson uses to describe the amazingness of water in teh best book ever... A Short History of Nearly Everything... He's a true genius that man) -(Audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RStZ73GpU8E)
Life's essential ingredient
Molecular dance
Surface tension
H2O of life
'Got Earth early
Rolling right
Just this and light
Now breathe

I’ve posted the entire suite “In case nothing happens” on YouTube, including the parts (7 and 8) 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/
