for some reasons you have a signature sound on the piano and your vocals, one can hear out your playing and vocals! I mean this very positive. Not sure if it is the compression or reverb you use, but it is there ... great!

beautiful voice Milana <3 .. nice piano !

congratulations for the wonderful lyrics and for your heartfelt vocal performance!

I love the build of this one, so nice flow in the keys!!

@sara_brito: Oh, sorry for missing your comment, Sara :) The dashboard is acting periodically and not showing all the updates. I truly loved what words Philip found for this tune. It was fantastic since the improvisation wasn't really supposed to be a song, so it's amazing how the words matched it

What a beautiful performance ... and the lyrics!

Shortly after publishing the pure piano piece, I got a message from Philip Bridle (http://soundcloud.com/philipbridle). Philip wrote that the moment he heard the music, he rushed for pen and paper and the words just fell out of the pen. I truly admire Philip's songwriting skills, what was initially just a mere piano improvisation, turned into a song.

Lyrics by Philip Bridle

The days fading out ....before our eyes....
After believing.... that we were so wise,
Shadows are playing upon the walls,
Seems too soon..to lose it all.....

Flickering candle... there was magic in the air,
But now a stillness..... you are not there,
It's burning ever lower.. 'till night meets the dawn,
Fading dreams waver... as hearts are now torn.

Deepening shadows... therein we find,
Images so hidden, so deep in the mind...
The candle burns lower... a vanishing flame...
The light in your eyes... reflecting the same.

Awakening sun... painting dawn in the sky...
While morning stars... fading and die,
As the silent candle, with nothing to say,
The dancing shadows... are slipping away.

Impatient days fade before our eyes,
They all thought.. that we were so wise...
The light from the candle.. waltzes no more...
Only the distant echo... of a closing door.

Every Day Is A Little Bit Easier

Sounds Of Goodbye

On a cool bright evening
in the middle of May
He was sittin' all alone 
just waiting beside the train

And she left one morning
on the northbound line
on the run from what her life became 
and the ones who robbed her blind

But he wasn't waitin' for her
and he couldn't read minds
and she wasn't heading anywhere
in particular that time

And at first they never noticed it
But on the second look they did
and as they talked he took the chance 
to say all the words he'd never said

He said, "I'll take you out tomorrow
it's just a drive away from home.
But if you fall in love with me again
you will never be fine."

She said "she's only flyin solo."
Since he left her all alone
And if she fell in love with him
He could never ask why
He could never ask why
He could never ask why

And at times you feel the world turn
when you stand real still
And you fumble for the words you need
to describe the way it feels

And the way it feels is often the way 
it'll keep you awake at night
If you chase the ghosts that haunt your dreams
then you'll never see the light

Cause the light is right before you
if you care to turn it on
And you could pull back on the darkness
if you can't tell him that he's wrong

And you turn the light and tear the 
ticket up that's in your hand
Walkin' off into the sunset 
in a life that lies ahead

She said she's, "never gonna go home."
and, "let's runaway tonight."
And when she fell in love with him again
he could never ask why

He said "that they could leave tomorrow
to anywhere that they could fly."
And when she fell in love with him before
He didn't need to know why
He didn't need to know why
He didn't need to know why

She said, "don't worry about tomorrow,
it's all the way across the night.
Cause if you fall in love with me again
you will never be fine."

He said that, "I could handle myself,
and don't worry if I'm right,
because I fell in love with you 
the minute you came into my sight."
You came into my sight
You came into my sight

Don't Worry About Tomorrow

The Seer's Prophecy

"Les Trois Gouttes" est le nom d'un étang en Corrèze où, à la trentaine, j'allais pécher avec ma femme et mes enfants. Nous péchions le goujon, les enfants l'écrevisse, et comme l'étang est entouré de bois, il n'était pas rare que sur le chemin du retour, nous  trouvions également quelques cèpes et girolles! Le bonheur quoi, "le bonheur simple et tranquille" comme disait Verlaine...

Longing (Remix)

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.
