"So Silly"

It seems like he's a free man, 
Looks like it will last his whole life span,
 Until one day he wakes up and sees, 
That everything now differs from those times before.

Oh buddy, it's muddy, 
It's a study, I see it's fuzzy, 
It's not easy you're now busy
And then he says, "I know, I know... I know...

It's so silly, this feeling, 
Starts with a kiss, ends as usual, 
But a guy, he's clueless, not healing, 

So silly, such an experience, 
Going through that to find disappointment, 
But what to do when there was no life before? 



Life can be so tricky,
 Surprising us almost every single day, 
One can be good, the other can be bad, 
Being prepared is always the way to stay glad.

Oh buddy, it's muddy,
Quite a study, I see it's fuzzy, 
It's not easy, feeling busy, 
And then he says, "I know, I know... I know...

It's so silly, stupid this feeling, 
Starts on the lips, ends a bit lower, 
You can imagine what you will have to deal with, 
And it's so silly, silly  this feeling, 
Starts with a kiss, ends as usual, 
All those things are completely misleading, 


 Sometimes it rains, then the sun shines, 
Always keep your face up to the sun.

 It's so silly, silly this feeling, 
 Starts with a kiss, ends as usual,
 But a guy, he's such a clueless being, 
 And it's so silly, silly this feeling, 
 Starts with a kiss, ends as usual, 
 All those things are completely misleading

So Silly

The Pièces froides are two sets of piano pieces composed in March 1897 by Erik Satie. Unpublished until 1912 when Ravel played them publicly, they marked Satie's break from the mystical-religious music of his Rosicrucian and Gymnopodies period (1891–95), and were a harbinger of his humoristic piano suites of the 1910s. 

The title Pièces froides, translated as Cold Rooms or Cold Cuts, is a punning allusion to the dire poverty Satie experienced during his last years living in Montmartre. In July 1896, he had been forced to move into an unheated ground floor closet (he called it a "cupboard”. The space was so small that Satie's camp bed all but blocked the door shut, and on frigid nights he kept warm by sleeping fully dressed with the rest of his clothing piled on top of him.

This the second of the two cold pieces: Danses de travers (Crooked Dances)
1. En y regardant à deux fois (Give it a good look)
2. Passer (Go on)
3. Encore (Again)

Here i've arranged the original solo piano for 2 classical guitars, 12-string, celeste, woodwinds & strings.

Erik Satie, Pièces Froides

A peculiar peace invades the heart when we do the right thing.

Uma estranha paz invade o coração
quando se faz o bem.
Sou bem capaz de amar o bem
só pela paz que ao mundo vem
quando Deus entorna o céu.

E, se eu chegar ao céu, serei um rio de Deus
para dar de beber aos filhos meus.
E, se eu chegar ao céu, em rio me irei tornar
para ver os meus filhos navegar.

O amor é luz, não se apaga.
Brilha para sempre no tempo.
Enche de paz a minha alma.
Onde há amor não há medo.

Uma Estranha Paz

This track is dedicated to the memory of Chris A and the time that was 'Elidor'. "I hope you are flying somewhere with that big grin on your face"

This track was very much a collision of ideas. I wanted to follow on from The North Shore and actually take the listener into the air to experience the feeling and freedom of flying like a bird. Additionally the track title "Flight of Fancy" was the title of an original instrumental played by a band I was in in the early 80's. The keyboard player in that band is sadly no longer with us, so I decided to try and reinvent the spirit of that time as a musical tribute to Chris.

Enjoy your Flight of Fancy :-)

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

This track seemed to naturally evolve into three discrete sections with a different musical flavour to each part.

(i) Sunrise (0:00 - 0:58)
As the title suggests, it is my musical imagining of sunrise on the beach with all the grandeur of a new day dawning. A big orchestral sound and timpani seemed the way to go.

(ii) The Shoreline At Dawn (0:59 - 2:28)
Part Two has a much more muted sound as nature begins to stir with the dawn and musically this part acts as a linking section between parts one and three.

(iii) Into The Air (2:29 - 6:42)
Finally we are into the air and I wanted to give a feeling of flying by the use of rising chords sequences and a string ostinato (a recurring rhythmic or melodic pattern). I also wanted to give a nod to the original Flight of Fancy so it has a variation of the main guitar riff I played back in the early 80's, some interwoven guitar and keyboard parts and harmony with underlying jazzy drum and bass parts.
