back when I was recording the John Denver song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" with the fine gentlemen in The Eclectic Collective, my 8 yr old daughter loved the song so much she began singing it ALL THE TIME. This is a quick little recording of her singing the chorus. Pretty amazingly expressive singing for a youngster if I do say so myself! 

Here's the full recording with the Eclectic Collective:

Country Roads (daughter sings chorus)

I was very lucky to team up with the very talented Mike Fox on this song. I hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by to listen 😃

Lyrics

She came to me like 
Wind through the trees
She danced and twirled
And rustled my leaves
With each rotation
She picked up speed

A force of nature
Wild and swift
She swept me up
And I couldn't resist
I yearned for her touch 
And the taste of her kiss

My gypsy gale
Was a hot summer breeze
A friend to both the birds and the bees
She was the air that I needed to breath
But my gypsy gale
Came and went as she pleased

I struggled on 
While she was away
Searching for reasons
Why she should stay
Yet the truth was there
In front of my face

My gypsy gale
Was a hot summer breeze
A friend to both the birds and the bees
She was the air that I needed to breath
But my gypsy gale
Came and went as she pleased

I am the tree
That needs roots to grow
And she is the wind
So I let her go

My gypsy gale
Was a hot summer breeze
A friend to both the birds and the bees
She was the air that I needed to breath
But my gypsy gale
Came and went as she pleased

Two years ago me and my son went to the beautiful city of Lisbon. I do hope I get to go there soon again and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, people, music, food, narrow streets and beautiful buildings.

Yesterday I started my small tribute to the lovely city, I finished it today and hope you will enjoy the listen.

DESILLUSION     (translation after the French text)
Chant : Karine 
Paroles et musique : Alain Illos 

ON SE LAISSAIT GUIDER PAR LE VENT
AU MONDE PERDU DES REVES D'ENFANT
ON REVAIT
QUE L'ARRIVÉE D'UN PERSONNAGE
QUI PARTAGERAIT SES PRINTEMPS
POURRAIT BRISER TOUS LES SERMENTS
ET QU'ON NE VERRAIT PLUS SOUVENT
LES NUAGES

ON SE LAISSAIT PORTER PAR DES ERREURS
DES MESSAGES FLOUS DE NOS RANCOEURS
ON SENTAIT
QUE LA ROUTE SERAIT COURTE MAIS BELLE
A CONDITION D'Y ACCEDER
NE FAIRE QUE DES CHOIX PERSONNEL
MONTER LES MARCHES POUR ACCEDER  
AUX NUAGES

DES FLOTS DE SENTIMENTS
DES DESILLUSIONS DES PEINES
PARFOIS UNE LUEUR SOUDAINE
NOUS PROMENE
D'UN BOUT À L'AUTRE D'UNE VIE.

Desillusion

WE LET OURSELVES BE GUIDED BY THE WIND
TO THE LOST WORLD OF CHILDHOOD DREAMS
WE REVEALED
THAT THE ARRIVAL OF A CHARACTER
WHO WOULD SHARE HER SPRINGS
COULD BREAK ALL OATHS
AND WE'D NEVER SEE
THE CLOUDS


WE'D LET OURSELVES BE CARRIED ALONG BY MISTAKES
BLURRED MESSAGES OF OUR RESENTMENTS
WE FELT
THAT THE ROAD WOULD BE SHORT BUT BEAUTIFUL
AS LONG AS WE GOT THERE
MAKING ONLY PERSONAL CHOICES
CLIMB THE STEPS TO REACH  
TO THE CLOUDS

FLOODS OF FEELINGS
DESILLUSIONS SORROWS
SOMETIMES A SUDDEN GLOW
PROMISES US
FROM ONE END OF A LIFE TO THE OTHER.

Inspired by a poem by Robert Bly:

 “Ah, on this planet we are born again and again. A gold sun rises in the East, but for us, it is a black sun. Each time the black sun rises, dazzling and tremendous, its sadness flows into us. ‘If this sadness could not flow out of me, it would kill me.’
I listen and I see a horse-dragon swim up out of the Black Sea. It climbs into the air. Play on, play on - what can we do but long for this dragon-water from the Black Sea to fall on us?”

While making this, the medieval text 'Omnia sol temperat' dumped into my head. As it have the rebirth theme as well, the synchronicity of it all seemed unmistakeable :-)

Ah, on this Planet

A short instrumental section for a pretentious long song I've just started on - hopefully it will work in context  🤪... it's fair to say I struggled with the fingerpicking - needs work 😬

A Myth Of The Far Future

This is another track in my work-in-progress album "Sleep, My Boy" (2024), to appear by the end of this year. In it, my idea is to collect only this and another already released track, "Sleep, My Boy", but each of them will have a full, electro-symphonic version as well as acoustic versions.

The track was composed in GarageBand iOS spontaneously in the early morning of 19 September 2024 and mixed and arranged in Logic Pro on 29 September 2024. It was released here on SoundCloud on 19 October 2024.

The composition was inspired by my recently-born gorgeous grandson, while he was far away from me for long, travelling with his family. Apart from this electro-symphonic version, it also has 3 "acoustic" versions - the initial one for piano and the subsequent ones, respectively, for strings and for synthesisers: I intend to post these versions too as tracks coming later in the same album.

The artwork cover for the track as well as for the album uses a photo I took on 3 July 2024 that I cropped and annotated in Mac OS Preview on 17 August 2024.

Duration: 4:19 minutes
Tempo: 124 bpm
Time Signature: 4/4
Key Signature: D

Digital instruments used, in the order of composing and recording:

1. Synthesizer - Classics - Dreams and Visions
2. Synthesizer - Classics - Evolving Shades
3. Synthesizer - Classics - Formant Flutters
4. Synthesizer - Sound Effects - Cymbal Swell
5. Piano - Steinway Grand Piano
6. Strings - String Ensemble
7. Synthesizer - Bass - Synthetic Double Bass
8. Electronic Drum Kit - Solaris
9. Arpeggiator - Synth Bells - Contemplative Bells
