I share with you my cover of the song Obstacles by Syd Matters, from the video game original soundtrack, Life is Strange. 

I also directed a music video on it which is available on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/flcTOGN4yU4.

This is dedicated to my best friend 🦋

Lyrics:

Let's say sunshine for everyone
But as far as I can remember
We've been migratory animals
Living under changing weather

Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
Today we will sell our uniform
Live together

Live together

We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger

We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger

We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger

We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger

Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard

Un groupe de jeunes gens se constitue dans un coin de campagne. Au même moment, une soeur et un frère se retrouvent dans une situation périlleuse... 
"Histoire d'une invention" est un récit dans lequel la musique joue la plupart des rôles principaux.

A song to the one and only who knows it. 

This is an improvised song I played and recorded the other day (my apologies for the mistakes). It is not much but I just had to play it. I am not in the advertising business and I have to mention as a private person for non-commercial purposes that this song is also a mellow celebration of the Rhodes Electric Piano which is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever encountered in my life (after my U1 upright piano..). I first heard Rhodes electric piano when I was a little child, and for many years I wondered "What is that?". Now after all these years I got enough resources to get the official Rhodes V8 Pro virtual electric piano.

In a larger context this song is also - despite the fact that it's played in the minor key - a mellow celebration of life. It is to celebrate this particular day and everything this day brings with it.

This song was inspired especially by a particular performance of an old song loosely translated from Finnish to English as "The Vagabond's Night Star" (composed by Mr. Toivo Kärki and arranged by one of the greatest jazz pianists in this country, Mr. Olli Ahvenlahti); it was the song where I for the first time heard the amazing sound of an electric piano many years ago. This song was also inspired by the song "Eternal Child" composed by the late great musician and composer Mr. Chick Corea, and also especially by the memorable music of The Alan Parsons Project.

The song was played by me with my Korg SGProX digital stage piano, using Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer as an audio interface and using e.g. the following instruments: 
- Rhodes V8 Pro electric piano (Mk8);
- UVI T20 Electric 2 Chorus (cf. MKS-20);
- Arturia V Collection / 1982 Acoustic Grand;
- Arturia Mellotron V (guitar, strings);
- UVI Kroma (brass);
- UVI PX Memories (brass, pad; cf. Memorymoog, LAMM);
- UVI Ultramini and Arturia Mini V (bass) and
- UVI Soul Drums. 

Once again I use this opportunity to present a wish: Please let us have the strength to take decent care of each other and ourselves and let us always try to treat each other with due concern and respect.

Here you find some very old fragments of old christian songs from the ancient times of christian music. Lyrics have the mindset of the persecuted christians of times after the second world war. Let Jesus speak to your souls.

And when I die, I’ll rise with You

[Verse 1]
초록빛과 파란빛의 어느쯤
물결 속에 발을 담갔어
첫 숨처럼 차오르는 시원함
가만히 나를 감싸던 바다

[Verse 2]
작은 돌돔들이 다가와
먹는 건 줄 알고 다릴 뜯어
아프지 않은 장난 같은
낯선 섬의 인사였어

[Chorus]
햇살은 뜨겁고 바다는 차갑고
그 온도 차 속에 내가 풀려
나를 데려가고 또 떠미는
울릉도의 움직임 안에서

[Verse 3]
물결이 말 없이 등을 밀면
나는 조금 더 깊이 들어가
손끝에 닿은 바다의 심장은
한없이 부드럽게 뛰고 있었어

[Chorus]
햇살은 뜨겁고 바다는 차갑고
그 온도 차 속에 내가 풀려
나를 데려가고 또 떠미는
울릉도의 움직임 안에서

[Outro]
초록빛과 파란빛의 경계 위
나는 잠시 머물렀다가
그 빛을 발끝에 묻힌 채
다시 육지로 돌아왔다

푸른 빛과 초록 사이 : 아용

Passionate about music since childhood, I share my songs and covers in French and English.
I play the piano, sing, record, produce and mix.
