My new Jazz improvising composition on piano in D minor.

My Jazz Impromptu In D Minor

All material composed and arranged by MonA.

Lyric:

We're lost and found within the boundaries
Infinity feels overwhelming
Caressing my soul with its fingertips
And I found freedom
On the cloud nine
Where Shangri-La begins
And I touched the sky
On the top height
Feeling fine...

(Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh...)

(Instrumental)

Wings to soar
We start from silence
As the beautiful scars, as the jewel of life
Lonely and helpless,
We are the creatures of life
Seeing, defining
The abstract of love

I'm floating in the air
I'm drowning in the flesh and bone
I'm floating out
I'm drowning in
I'm floating out
I'm floating out
I'm floating out
I'm drowning in...

Sample from Pink Floyd - Nobody Home - The Wall
All other material composed and arranged by MonA.

Lyric:
(Intro) - Have you prepared?
This might hurt.
- No, no, nooooooo...

Verse: - How do you feel?
You ask me now but I bet you didn't care.
- How do you do?
Your common sense is fooling no one but myself.
- What can I help?
The sound of silence burst into my ears
Oh how it hurts!
Like I'm all alone.
Look in my eyes,
Was anyone there when I shout 
"Listen and help me 'cause I'm drowned!"
I wonder where you were that time?
So don't ask me how I feel today!

(Outro) I'm fine, and waiting
waiting
waiting
waiting...

How Do You Feel?

Chiếc Lá Cuối Trời.

Tôi mơ 
Những dòng sông trắng lóa 
Nhạt nhòa 
Như hình bóng thời gian 
Tôi mơ 
Những hàng cây lối vắng 
Tìm đường 
Cùng về lại chốn xưa 
Và tôi mơ 
Mình là chiếc lá nhỏ 
Bay trong miền ký ức 
Bước chân chiều bơ vơ 
Cuộc đời là vệt nắng 
Tình người - ngọn gió thơm 
Bụi trần giờ vắng bóng 
Tìm lại nơi quá khứ 
Một lần để rồi nhớ 
Một lần để rồi xa 
Lặng thầm và tiếc nuối 
Như chiếc lá cuối trời... 
Tôi đi 
Một mình vào mênh mang 
Dịu dàng 
Như màu áo thiên thanh 
Tôi đi 
Trong sương mù lãng đãng 
Mơ màng 
Tuổi ký ức thêm xanh 
Và tôi đi 
Qua những áng mây trôi 
Qua bao kỷ niệm cũ 
Vết thuơng lòng phôi pha... 
Hoài niệm là dĩ vãng 
Hồi tưởng giờ xa xăm 
Mình ta cùng phố vắng 
Dòng đời sao vẫn trôi 
Hòa nhịp cùng câu ca 
Ngày dài theo tháng năm 
Muộn phiền và đơn côi 
Như chiếc lá cuối trời...

Chiếc Lá Cuối Trời (original)

Tặng "Sleepwalker". You'll always be a special person to me.

Rising within the sun
Holding out, reaching for love
Bear our empty hands,
Exposing our weakness 
Playing on insecurity
Are we?

(C) I paved the roads, 
trying to see the truth
But I can't stop thinking about you.
Let's go on a one-way ride,
Surfing the tide
Reading your eyes
Reading from your eyes...

I see you within me
You feel me as a part of you
But strangers as we are
We're crossing our paths
Never hoping for a chance to meet
Again...

(Repeat C)

Reading from your eyes x 2

Tripping on, turning up the radio... x 4


Radio Ecstatic

Chagrin

Lyrics:
Jewelled by the ashes of the past
Laced in broken pieces of glass
Covered by the black veil of the dark
They wrap dead bodies in their hands
Taken by the shadows far below
They reap whatever Death has sown
Decadence, rottenness
The fallen, the taken,
The sinned man, the ones that stand,
The unborn, the undead, 
They kill the black sheep.

Feasting by the fire of the fear
Side-served with a bottle of tear
Breast-fed by the terror in the night
Inhaling all the secrets of life
They raved through every single haunted land
And the crowds come paving through their path,
Their ignorance, the rottenness, 
The fallen, the taken,
The sinned man, the ones that stand,
The unborn, the undead, 
They kill the black sheep.

Kill The Black Sheep

Tặng Mai.

Chơi vơi chơi vơi 
Ta bay giữa dòng đời 
Có cơn gió nào 
Mang trả ký ức? 
Gom chút nắng vụn 
Ngày thơ ngây... 

Hoang mang hoang mang 
Loay hoay giữa lối mòn 
Bước chân ngập ngừng 
Lòng chặt âu lo 
Tóc vẫn xanh 
Nặng ưu tư 

Đời buồn thênh thang, không ai gọi tên 
Người thừa rong chơi, biết đâu là bến bờ 
Ngoảnh nhìn mặt trời, xa lạ mù loà, 
Ta lạc từ bao giờ? 

Ngược nắng ngược gió, sao tìm được nhau? 
Lạc loài giữa phố, áo ai bạc màu 
Này bạn tôi ơi, 
Hẹn ngày về 
Khi ta chung đường...

Không Tên

You Keep The Faith (remastered)

She counts the beats of the small drops
One by one the drumming falls
She hears the silence in the rain
That washed out all her tears
She used to hold dear
She's all alone
Fighting her own fear

She sits alone in the corner
The dark embraced her as she turned
She feels the night come crawling down
There's no weight in her arms
She gives into his charm
Calmly her body lies
In a shadowy kingdom.

I slowed the tempo down to around 80bpm and changed the equalizer to make it sound more ambient.

Dedicated to Hima.

Verse: À ơi tiếng ru hời
Dịu trưa nắng mệt mỏi
Ngủ yên em nhé
Mơ cho quên cuộc đời

À ơi võng đưa rồi 
Bàn chân cũng xa rồi
Xa cách nhau không tạm biệt
Ký ức em cất vào lãng quên.

Chorus: Ngủ đi cho ngày mai thêm dài
Ngủ sâu giấc cho trọn đời mối lo hoài
Tuổi xanh, ta chôn đi những khát khao
Mong cho thời gian trôi thật mau

Verse 2: À ơi tiếng vỗ về 
Ngọt ngào bóng hình mẹ
Ngày đâu xưa ấy
Niềm vui sao dịu nhẹ

À ơi những nụ cười
Lùi về tháng năm rồi
Ánh mắt kia sao mòn mỏi
Thoáng chốc bao sự đời đã qua.

Repeat Chorus

Ngủ.

Verse: Gentle breezes, they’re embracing my heart
Winter morning with a cup of tea in my palms 
And I’m thinking of you, if only you’re in my arms
And we’d spend the days watching the sun as it goes down
Holding hands and dance around.

Chorus: Silent nights and empty streets,
I wandered, hoping that we’d meet
Tender songs and sheer happiness,
A gentle smile and I feel free
Lightweight as a feather,
I’m floating into your heart
I’ve found my serenity.
