ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 253

 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Falling Slowly

Poem, guitar, melody: Poet Peter, aka @user-264930040

Peter`s own words :
"I am blessed with a treasured friend whose name is Sue.

Sue is the very embodiment of humanity. Kind, selfless, giving, loving, unassuming, warm, smiling, understanding. Were you lucky enough ever to meet Sue, you’d never know that she carries a heavy burden carefully, and gently tucked away in a very private place within her heart.

This song is for Sue, and all mothers who, like her, have lost a son in the most tragic of circumstances, with no opportunity to help, hold, comfort or say goodbye."

Solace


When first you nestled in my arms and my eyes met with yours

A bonding fused in love, that could never be undone.

Sheltered you from harm as childhood lightly ran its course

Giving thanks to God above for the blessing you’d become.



Of your blossoming maturity I watched with glowing pride

Reaching for your touch to find that now we’re worlds apart,

Stolen by fate’s cruelty, that wrenches yet inside

Ever present in my mind, forever in my heart



As angels wrapped in heaven, soon our eyes shall meet and then

In the sanctity of peace we’ll find solace once again.



And now I live by memory tides that flood tomorrow’s shore

Your image resting in my palm, lifts my spirit gently, where,

The strongest, warmest love abides and shall do evermore

A love bestowing soothing calm upon my silent prayer.



Though the space between is wide as the celestial abyss

I keep a special place aside, from which I promise only this

As angels wrapped in heaven, soon our eyes shall meet and then

In the sanctity of peace we’ll find solace once again.

Solace. 1234567890. Oddrun Eikli.

After the somber opening of the Pandemic Suite (part I) and the fanfare of endurance (part II), the suite now glides in Allegro through scenes of carefree joy— a vivid remembrance of days when life was still perceived without a shadow, and laughter moved freely through the air.

Conversando

"Oblivion" was originally composed for bandonéon, piano and bass, by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla in 1982. I have fallen in love with his music and had to play my own arrangement. Here is a YouTube of the original: https://youtu.be/hLX1-0VFjwE?si=LyDwslnJIlL8vT_9

My sincere thanks to David Dunham for his generosity in mastering my track. @david-dunhamuser589535203

Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

Hypnotic waltz (For two + guitars)

Life is often described as a dance…A beautiful waltz, meant to be joyful and lived in the moment. Too often, we step away from the dance, caught in the past or so anxious about the future that we forget the fundamental rhythm. Perhaps the secret to truly living is to step back into the moment, feel the music, and embrace the beautiful and sometimes challenging waltz of life.

The Forgotten Waltz

This track is about finding balance, having two themes that challenge eachother for transparancy, space and attention. In a classical setting. Hope you enjoy...!

Balance

Released 1st Sept 2017 on Regent Street Records

'YEAH YEAH YEAH' lyrics:

Oh, when my hands are tied
I feel living dead
When I’m by your side
Get on my knees
Pray for the end
For dreams for drugs for sex & love
The death of all your friends

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Try find a way
Just nod your head
Do what you're told
Do what they said
Get on your knees
Pray for the end
For dreams for drugs for sex & love
The death of all your friends

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Pray to your god above
For the untimely demise of everyone you love
Pray to your god above
For dreams for drugs for sex and love
Pray to your god above
For the violent demise of everyone you love
Pray to your god above
For dreams for drugs for sex & love

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Never meant to be...
The flash of eyes is haunting,
There's groaning in the sea,
And every wave is daunting.
They never will agree,
It's lovers they are taunting.

You lied and lied...

You said, 'Step down from the ledge, my dear,
Too close to the edge, I fear.'

They're cutting all the roses down,
Darling, hold on tight, darling hold on tight,
And Lyssa dances through the town,
Darling, hold on tight, darling, hold on tight.

You don't stand for me,
And I can stand my ground.
The song I fired was sweet,
And all the notes fell down.
Here, take my hand,
We're lifting with the sound.

We sang and sang....

I said, ' Step down from the ledge, my dear,
Too close to the edge I fear.'

They're cutting all the roses down,
Darling, hold on tight, darling hold on tight,
And Lyssa dances through the town,
Darling, hold on tight, darling, hold on tight.

Hold On

Next To Me

Rabbit Holes was written surrounded by nature, by the open widow of a rundown Cornish farm house after a period of listening to a lot of The Tallest Man on Earth. 

The song follows the path of someone yearning to reach their love who has gone to a place that can't be followed. Although they both want to be together, the desperate efforts are seemingly in vein.

'No Sheet Music' Artist. https://www.nosheetmusic.tv/artists/nic-evennett

"Evennett’s voice is a delicate mystery, warm and lustrous, yet fragile and crystalline – a bewitching blend of Kate Bush and Linda Perhacs, surrounded by dolorous, reverb-drenched piano and woven into broken-hearted balladry." Andee Connors, Pandora 

"Moving, delicate and introspective. As always, Nic Evennett's voice washes over the listener creating an incubated space I didn't want to leave."
Rapt.
