May 2013
hello to all the friends of souncloud.
i would like to create a common song and listen to it in various, speak and musical languages and singed by different voices.
impossible? history will tell us something :)
so i'm looking for collaborations for that track.

1) lyrics
2) different remixes / arragements.
3) voice

First  track is only the piano part with chords without melodic line.
Second  track is the piano part with chords and melodic line (only for example.)
Thirst track is piano part with my voice in greek (be lenient and forgive the quality of voice.)

p.s. originally i have written it for a greek singer but at the end the project hasn't go on.

Starting Terminus - Piano Solo

lyrics in Deutsch: Joseph von Eichendorff.
voice: Katja Tennigkeit.
music and piano: Fivos Valachis

all of a sudden I receive en email with this sentence:
"Your piano playing reminded me so much of german romantic music, that I thought I would turn this into something like a "Kunstlied", just that I didn't want to sing it very classical. So I dived into the oevre of one of the favorite romantic poets, many of his poems were composed by Schubert, Schumann etc., Joseph von Eichendorff."

thanks Katja.
you gave new breath to this piece.

-------------------------
Die Stille

Es weiß und rät doch keiner,
Wie mir so wohl ist, so wohl!
Ach, wüßt' es nur einer, nur einer,
Kein Mensch es sonst wissen soll!

So still ist's nicht draußen im Schnee,
So stumm und verschwiegen sind
Die Sterne nicht in der Höhe,
als meine Gedanken sind.

Ich wünscht', es wär schon Morgen,
Da fliegen zwei Lerchen auf,
Die überfliegen einander,
Mein Herze folgt ihrem Lauf.

Ich wünscht', ich wäre ein Vöglein
Und zöge über das Meer,
Wohl über das Meer und weiter,
Bis daß ich im Himmel wär'!

----------
(The quiet woman:
Noone knows or could guess how well I feel, how well!
Oh, if just this one would know, just this one, no one else would need to know.

It's not that quite out in the snow, so silent
are not even the stars up high, as my thoughts are.

I wish it was tomorrow, there two larks rise up in the sky
they fly around each other, my heart follows their course.

I wish I was a little bird, I flew across the sea,
across the sea and even further, until I was in heaven.)

Capolinea
----------------------
Cosa pensi di fare andando via
Cosa pensi che trovi fuggendo là
Ritorni sempre al capolinea
Con la stessa acqua ancora la sete placherai

Chi mai pensi che sarà lì per salvarti
Quale fuoco sarà acceso per scaldarti
Quante bugie dal falso mai ti salveranno
Se non hai da dire almeno una verità

Scopri tutte quante le tue carte
Tieni aperte le possibilità
Lascia che sia il gioco a giocarti
Non tenere per te le carte che hai

Dove sogni di trovare ciò che cerchi
Quale mare pensi che navigherai
Costruisci le tue navi con la pietra
E con le navi di roccia nessuno ha viaggiato mai.

English translation (rough and quite literal)

What do you think you'll do going away?
What do you think you'll find fleeing there?
You always come back to square one
It's always the same water you'll quench your thirst with

Who do you think will be there to save you?
Which fire will be lit to warm you?
How many lies will save you from falseness,
If you don't have at least a truth to say?

Turn all your cards face up
Leave all your chances open
Let the game play you
Don't keep your cards for yourself

Where do you dream to find what you're looking for?
Which sea do you think you'll sail?
You build your ships with stone
And with stone ships no one ever has sailed

Starting Terminus- Capolinea, feat. Paolo D'Emilio

lyrics in italian: Paolo D'Emilio.
voice: Paolo D'Emilio.
music and piano: Fivos Valachis

Thank you Fivos for all your help in matching your vision for this song.

weak is the mind ft. mark kelly

It was about 8 months ago that I had the pleasure of doing my first collaboration with Fivos on his great track "Starting Terminus" which has been declined in about 10 different versions and at least 4 or 5 languages (corrections, welcome).
In the wake of my two French versions I had also recorded one in English whose lyrics were not a translation from the French but an original text in its own right.

There were many e-mails and many other collabs underway for both of us so this track got kinda waylaid. I found it again the other day and asked Fivos if I could post it, to which he kindly agreed.

So here is yet another version of Starting Terminus. I hope you'll enjoy it and if you feel like joining in on the fun, Fivos's piano solo track is there, waiting for you maybe... Fivosvalachis – Starting-terminus-solopiano-1

Starting Terminus

Music and piano: Fivos Valachis
Lyrics and vocals: Yann Vienne

If you feel time has come to leave,
Life is a bit too much to heave,
This road has come to an end,
You will need to let go and start again...

Do not be afraid for me, my friend,
I do not want to die, just take a train...
A boat or a plane or I may walk un-
til I get to where I feel a song...

Oh this world is mine to see and travel,
There is still so much that I can learn.
Stayed for too long here, the wine got thicker,
I need cool water to drown my fear...

You cannot ignore the past you've had,
Still you live for now and look ahead,
I will meet you all before the end
So we can talk and dream and start again.

Initially I had called this "messing with a classic btbw" but found it may be more appropriate to change it. Thank you for the comments that relate to initial name, I really enjoyed messing with this one a lot :)

A Rainy Night
=============

I turn off the light
And lay back in my bed feeling tired
I look into the night
Listening to the rain outside

-

Time to think for a while
about all of the love you've been given
I close my eyes with a smile
while the rain wash my worries away

A long, long day of work is done
Now I’ll have a break until the life goes on
The warmth of my bed is all I need 
While the clock counts the seconds ‘til I sleep...

Rainy Night - Feat. NayJ

Hi!

This account has reached its limit: find my newest collaborations at https://soundcloud.com/ns-hugo

My name's Yann Vienne and I'm an amateur singer, songwriter and (bad) guitar player. My main alias is Non Sapiens (https://soundcloud.com/non-sapiens) but as I'm running out of time on my regular SC page and cannot really afford to go unlimited at the moment (Hey! Anyone out there wanna sponsor me? Aaaaw, come on!), I'm "outsourcing" most of the many collaborations I've done in the past year or so here, on this basic free account.

The collaborations I do with Carlo Presti  on drums are to be found at https://soundcloud.com/spidersapiens.

I have been privileged to work with really talented people on Soundcloud and I thank them all so much for it!

If you like what you hear, don't hesitate to say so (constructive criticism is also welcome).
