But Happy

Guitar Dialogue(Guitar solo)

Although quite simple to record, it took me a few weeks to write down a text and sing it over this beautiful guitar piece from Neno J. I used the original title as an inspiration for the text.

Circle of Circles 

Planets move in the dome of stars in surprising ways.
Sometimes forward, sometimes backward  in the celestial orb.

Since perfect circles are the only way of gods,
Ptolemy used circles within circles 
to explain those planetary retrogressions.
That was such a powerful idea 
that Fourier would later use.
Indeed, any periodic smooth motion
can be described by a large enough set of epicycles.

And yet, it all became history, 
thanks to Copernic, Kepler and Newton.
The epicycles were cast out from heaven
by the Occam's razor curse.
And I'm trying to learn the sobering lesson:
Everything gets simpler 
when we don't place ourselves in the center.

Your perfect circles, woman, are the chosen shape of gods.
But will the Fast Fourier Transform ever explain your beauty?

I watch you move in this world of scars in surprising ways.
But what is forward and what is backward in this oblivious maze?

Unwavering Devotion

a short piano thing that I recently added a trombone melody to. another work in progress, until a new idea pops up to improve it...

Random note (I think this only applies if viewing on mobile device)… in the image, I made our hero face left so as the track progresses it looks like she’s pushing that rock uphill. You go girl!

Also, don’t know why this has been sitting as one of my‘top tracks’ - it’s not. 🙄

Thanks for listening!

Full track will be posted soon. :) 

Lyrics: 

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not floating, we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel. 

Step out your world and drape it around me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone. 
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
~
And be that as it may, still, still,
There's something inexplicable 
In finding all of me could be all of you.

(Just for a while, don't speak and listen...)

I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone. 
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."   Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)

Grateful for every new morning, every new year, and the chance to begin again.  Best wishes to all in 2024!

Morning Praise

This piece starts off from the repeating 4 notes of the 3rd movement from Beethoven's Tempest Sonata (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRoZgmqlfso) but takes off in a much different direction with new melodies. The piece borrows from Beethoven only those repeating 4 notes and the figuration of the left hand... everything else being my own. Though the feeling is overtly Beethovian too (with all due distances, of course)... And do you sometimes hear echoes of the Für Elise? (To my ear, the Für Elise itself has echoes of the Tempest's 3rd movement, even in its opening theme.)

The title "After the Tempest" has double meaning. It "takes after" Beethoven's Tempest's 3rd movement. And it also represents the sunlight and freshness felt after a storm's atmospheric depression has passed. Triple meaning, actually, as we endure this terrible worldwide depression and wish for the day it will past us somehow...

Played by software, sorry...

The painting shown is by Thomas Cole (1836), entitled "The Oxbow" and represents an oxbow in the Delaware River after a passing storm. Beethoven's Tempest sonata was written 1801-1802 and Für Elise dates from 1810.

Poem: by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)
All hushed and still within the house;
Without – all wind and driving rain;
But something whispers to my mind,
Through rain and through the wailing wind,
Never again.
Never again? Why not again?
Memory has power as real as thine

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.
