Quale fonte di ispirazione più illustre di Omero? Il richiamo a De Andrè sembra forte anche per me. Lavoro notevolissimo comunque. Complimenti!

I love the wonderful atmosphere that makes me feel like I'm being gently embraced.

A few things to say.
1. Sorry, this song is a long one: more than seven minutes, too many to expect to have listeners desirous to get to the end of a small marathon. Moreover, it is slow (the first refrain only comes after three minutes or so) and sung in Italian (the English translation is available, but it is never the same thing).
2. The photo shows two actors: Bekim Fehmiu and Irene Papas, protagonists of a wonderful TV series (‘Odissea’) aired in 1968. A show that enriched my childhood and conditioned my imagination (and my reading) forever.
3. I have long wished to be able to write a song about that story within the story of Ulysses' wanderings: his return to Ithaca and his failure to be recognised by Penelope. I succeeded in 1994, then producing a few versions of it. I recorded this one a few years ago, the sound quality was not excellent but now I have taken it up again, singing it all over again and changing the arrangement a little. I hoped at least to recreate an atmosphere musically suited to the story evoked.

LYRICS 

he speaks softly from afar
and his voice is like a stray dog
like a boat you can barely see
like a moon on a swing
suspended on the edge of a sea wave
he holds his breath to follow his song

she sings and as she sings she has dozed off
he takes her hand and
whispers ‘welcome back into my life, welcome back’

she still sleeps and dreams of making love
with this morning shadow
of these colourless eyes 
came from an icy adventure
of days that smell clean
of all nights and all days
of spells, escapes, memories 
of days lost without desires

and if she will not listen to his words,
if evil will not slip from her heart
then who knows
where the wind will settle him
where he will lose himelf
where he will rest

[Penelope]
"Are you the night that burns
are you this sky that falls on me
are you this ship that arrives
are you this fire congealed inside me
... (You're all I need) ..."

she squints her eyes and moves slowly
as if to let the world to feel
all the weight of this abandonment
of this vanished illusion 
of her infinite sadness
sadness that perfume the nights and days
spent alone with this wound

but he is not only the thought of every morning
he is in the sand in the waves
that have always bounced on the shore
he is the cement of this house
is the receding fear
is the storm ever closer
he is this morning shadow
and she will listen to his words
and the sea will deposit him on her heart
and then who knows
maybe the wind will settle 
the circle will close
and she will recognise him

[Penelope]
"... (You're all I need) ...
are you the night that burns
are you this sky that still falls on me
are you this ship that arrives
are you this fire congealed inside me
are you my eyes you are my hands
are you my lips my skin of today and tomorrow
are you this peace that rises again
are you this home to recapture
this night to rest
... (You're all I need) ..."

I'm very happy to share with you my very first attempt at songwriting! 🤩 I hope this song touches your hearts, even a tiny bit. This song wouldn’t have been possible without the beautiful guitar tune that Counterworlds Voltage kindly let me sing over.

I was in the dark
when I first found you, my love
I never thought that a star
would ever notice my soul
But you were always around  
just never thought it was me
that you were looking for
longing for

Give me a sign
and I will open my heart
so you can sleep inside
See it's made for you
find myself in you
I'll lose myself in you

Was staring the sea
when I felt wind on my face
One foot was soaked, can you see?
The other holding my pace
Rested my hands on your head
to heal the air that you breathe
Just lose yourself in me
Find yourself in me

Give me a sign
and I will travel the worlds
with nothing but my voice
As if it’s not my choice
not my choice

Let go of your fear
and feel my sound caress you
as if it’s not your choice
Leave behind the noise
Leave behind the noise

Where To Find You

Hello, my dear, step in through the door
Come over right here, so I can tell you once more
I would like to tell you in a letter of love
Hand it over to you, there's no one above

I might be repeating, you know how it is
But you're so endearing, that I just can't dismiss
I could tell you each day, in a letter of love
I surely would say, there's no one above

I might be repeating, you know how it is
But you're so endearing, that I just can't dismiss
I could tell you each day, in a letter of love
I surely would say, there's no one above

I'll tell you every day, in my letter of love
Cause there's only you
It's only love

Letter Of Love

words and music Kevin Gennery
image not my own

she came to me in darkness led me to the light
not been back this way since hoping this could be the night

have you seen her tell me have you seen her

our embrace is perfectly vivid still heady from her perfume
the look that Abby gave me pray the waitings over soon

Have you seen her tell me have you seen her
cause I need her lord knows I need her

yes my minds open always ready to receive
blessed and so grateful for the love she gave to me
but I needed more than be possibly be in a dream

Burdened by my own body half my lifes been spent this way
lost and going nowhere, need her more than these words can say

Have you seen her tell me have you seen her
cause I need her lord knows I need her

if you do please send Abby my way

Have You Seen Her?

Aede Aide Moi
--------------------

Ma muse s’amuse, elle use de ses pouvoirs,
Elle ruse abuse et m’use

Otant l’printemps des chants de ses semoirs,
Jouant du vent un semblant

Oh oh oh Oh oh oh

Muse-hic lyrique elle « skip » tous ses devoirs
Muse-chic s’applique, cela pique

Changement de temps laissant tous mes vers choir
Gisant béant un grand blanc

Oh oh oh Oh oh oh
Aede Aide Moi

Cette muse m’amuse, diffuse tout son savoir
J’abuse médusée elle s’use

Offrant l’encens du chant de son miroir
D’avance s’élance sans prudence

Oh oh oh Oh oh oh

Muse-tic mystique, enigmatique encensoir
Sadique tactique je quitte

Pam padam Pam pam padam
Pam padam pam pam

Oh oh oh Oh oh oh
Aede Aide Moi

Ah…. Ah…. Oh…. Oh….

Ma muse s’amuse (pam padam pam pam padam)
Cette muse m’amuse (pam padam pam pam padam)
La muse abuse (pam padam pam pam padam)
Cette muse m’use (pam padam pam pam padam)

humble attempt on real Clarinet :-) - original track, with a simple backing ....
I'm better on the EWI with the clarinet sound, because I can use the saxophone fingering. But the real thing is of course the challenge :-)

My Name

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!
https://shockthealgorithm.bandcamp.com/album/ultraviolet-cosmos

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.

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/
