wonderful = ethereal and organic - recommended to @pleudoniem and @progrockdan-instrumentals

Sweet and calming - reminds me of when my two year old niece came to stay at my house and at bedtime she softly sang herself to sleep ❤️

Gentle, subtle but also potent and laden with depth. Great voice ❤️

Contemplative to the point of almost stopping time

Song Notes and Lyrics:
This song imagines one of those occasions when you by chance find yourself in a place where there is some great live music that somehow just seems right.....
Lyrics:
Somewhere in New York City
Or was it down in New Orleans 
Could have been in San Francisco
Or maybe it was all a dream
I was walking by an old blues bar-room 
When I heard somebody playing with some style
So I bought myself an ice cold beer
And listened for a while

Looked like he’d lived a whole life-time
Beard gone silver grey
The people in the place seemed spellbound
Happy just to hear him play
At home on stage under the spotlight 
Keeping time with his heel on the floor
I bought myself another beer
I stayed and Iistened some more 

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

He played until the bar-room closed
Right sound right time right place
He walked off into the night
With his old leather guitar case
Never knew his name
Don’t even know if he still plays
But I’ll picture that stage and hear that sound
For the rest…of my days

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

Fine Silk Waistcoat

Verdant Vintage is a beautifully crafted solo piano composition that evokes the gentle grace of a bygone era.

Perfect for unwinding and introspection, this piece invites you to lose yourself in its soothing and nostalgic embrace, offering a musical escape to a simpler, more peaceful time.

Verdant Vintage - Francesco Adornetto

A thieving from Nathan Ehrnman's track "Flint"
https://nathaniel-ehrnman.bandcamp.com/album/tread-lightly

He had (I think) 3 tracks of various guitars, I added 2 guitar tracks, a field recording of a thunderstorm, and made 2 midi tracks of Nathan's tracks and converted those to both LABS and Alchemy (@pple's version, not the original one)
Oh, and some vocalizer tracks...

There's a cold wind
blowing through me
And my thoughts
ain't so tender

I'd always hoped
you'd reconsider
But your lies
flowed like a river

You're just a digger
you're just a taker
And now my thoughts
ain't so tender

I ain't whistlin
past no graveyard
I ain't standin
neath no ladders

I'm just waitin
shotgun and D-ought
For you and him
to just step out

And I'm not carin
what comes after
I'm not caring
if I get caught

You won't be
lying anymore
You'll just be
lying in the cold

Heart Of Flint (w/Nathaniel Ehrnman)

Sessions bei Kulikslinas & Apfelgünthers Party

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!).

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

Song for the newborn child who is already singing / with Elisabetta Verri & joerxworx **

I had a holiday in Sweden in August and went on a steam train.  This is what it felt like to me.

Promises To Keep (feat. Fr. Harris)

Far away there is a castle - why is it there and what does it contain?

Far Away There is a Castle

"Not all who wander are lost." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

We all wander at one time or another.  Sometimes, it leads us to wonderful discoveries.  At other times, it can take us away from the things and people in life that are truly important.  One thing is certain:  Wandering almost always teaches us something.

Lies and Deceit

G	  Gm	    G7		   C
Lies and Deceit, you were sly as a fox
C			      G
How could I know the game you play?
G	  Gm	    G7		   C
Anger and grief and trust just disappeared
C		  G
Station call, no reply

A			       E
Did you really think you'd get away with this?
    A                E
it all looks like a hit and miss
  C9	     F9
Stuck in the limousine

Angels and muses, songs in disguise
please take off your tight mask
Balancing challenges, how can you sleep
White-knuckled down to the bone

Bullet ripped your ear
But here you are
Keep your eyes on the getaway car
How dark can this story get?

Did you really think you'd get away with this?
it all looks like a hit and miss
Stuck in the limousine

Lies and deceit, clouding our minds
The library is burning
Closing a deal, sealing a pledge
who do you think you are fooling?

Lies an deceit

Lies And Deceit

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

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/
