Somewhere In Andalusia (For Four guitars)

Lyrics: Mavi Nervi (1981)
Music: Michele Ansani (1981)
Vocals: Elisabetta Verri and Michele Ansani

A young woman friend of mine had a baby girl in the spring of 1981. She asked me to make a little music for some verses (a lullaby) she had written for the circumstance. Now, I prefer to shorten the lyrics and add a sort of child's chant - that baby was indeed a very, very precocious singer - and, of course, the super joerxworx' sax (@joerxworx) [thank you as always, Jörg!]
The other audio material is almost all recovered from an early 1990s recording made (together with Elisabetta Verri) on a wonderful Tascam 424 MK II Portastudio (how nostalgic!).
Cover picture: Gustav Klimt, "Baby (Cradle)" (1917/1918). National Gallery of Art, Washington.

Lyrics (Italian/English)

Estrema anima primitiva
esile voce vaporosa
perla di rossa argilla
sguardo di gabbiano
geloso erede

Extreme primitive soul
slender vaporous voice
pearl of red clay
gull's eye
jealous heir

Lyrics:

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought it would last forever

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you..

Na na na....

So let us enjoy today
With lots of love both ways
From early morning to the night
With tomorrow out of sight

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought this would last forever

All we have is right now
Can't promise anything more
Right now I am truly yours
Thats all I can say for sure

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you....

Today

A musical outcry from the silence of the pandemic times: I Am Alive !

This is the 1st movement of my Symphony "Alive!".

Shattered Silence

Words and Music Dave Rose
Lyrics

Its getting late and where are you
still running round town with god knows who
But when your new found friends 
well they're all long gone
You'll stagger homeward to your precious one

And lie here in my arms and lie to me
what I don't know won't hurt me so just lie...

And it's not as if we haven't been here before
Now the shoutings over the silence roars and there's a taxi by the door
And so you run to him but you'll tire of him and you know you will
Then I'll be waiting like so many times before

To lie here in my arms
and lie to me
What I don't know won't hurt me so
Just lie

Just Lie

Where the Heart Rests

A sacred place...
Where time slows its pace, the heart finds its peace.
And stars guide the weary on their gentle flight 
To this sacred place, in the embrace of light.
Where the heart beats love eternal, 
And songs never cease.
So come, weary traveler, lay down your quest.
Find peace in this haven,
Where the heart finds its rest.
For in this sacred place, beauty is abound,
All things find its nest,
And Where the Heart Rests...

GHOGHA - GRAY EDITON

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/
