Amazing sound. Beautiful music! 🔥🔥🔥

wistful calming melody..like waking up to a beautiful morning

One of my favourite tracks.. such a wonderful wide open soundscape. Very beautiful combination of picked acoustic guitar, piano and string pads. Very peaceful.

Happy Friday The 13th and all things Halloween.

Let’s dance our cares away at the Masquerade

There, at the stroke of midnight
Time, without asking, begins unmasking
the power of its nameless might
The clock is tick-tocking
When the raven comes knocking
Rapping thrice at the door
Nevermore
Nevermore
Nevermore.

Masquerade

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

She's Losing It - Tom Régnier/Jussi Welin/Mark J Bennett/Boon-Suzuki

Dear friends, how about a somewhat self-deprecating song?

Recovering

I have found some ways to recover - when I’m anxious or feeling low
I send a mail to my Grandkids just to give them my love
and if it is not too late an answer comes back
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Sometimes when I’m feeling low - I ask for support from my wife
it might happen in the middle of the night and she never will protest
she will just take my little hand and squeezes it so light
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

If I wake up in the middle of the night - with a nightmare in my poor little brain
I will pick up my mobile and listen to the songs
that all my music friends have published on the net 
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Recovering

From time to time I am ending up with doing a total new mix on songs I have posted before.
This is one of those, its just a part of the continuing process in the making of music. Always something new to learn.
Thank you very much Oddvar for your great contribution on guitar

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

This instrumental is a remix of a tune written by John Fahey called "When Springtime Comes Again".  It is a reflective instrumental.  The song was originally released on the album "Death Chants, Breakdowns and Military Waltzes" in 1967.

I am an university professor of history who enjoys playing (guitar and piano/keyboard) and composing: unpretentious, just for fun. As a consequence, the most of my recordings (made with KorgD8 / Audacity and also Reaper now, for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio sound libraries) are handcrafted and largely imperfect.
My stuff consists of old songs (all wrote in the past century; here are only those I have redone in these last years) and old and new instrumentals (usually in various versions, some of which are removed at some point because they're unlistenable). 
Thank you in any case for stopping here to listen to something; in the description area you can find often explanatory notes or lyrics translations.

Here I found a community of great musicians and songwriters and a lot of beautiful music to listen to; you can be sure that any liking, commenting or reposting by me is a consequence of careful listening to the tracks. Obviously, for this very reason, I am not interested in collecting free ‘likes’ without real listening. I will not answer any messages from possible promoters: the number of followers does not interest me in the slightest. 
By popular demand (well, exclusively my daughter's — she says it's the "cooler" platform), I'm finally starting to put some of my stuff 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/
