Thank you so much Torbjørn and Ad for this great JOY.
Poem:
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson  was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

In this poem, Dickinson discusses her love for a man. She is jealous of everything around him, the water "He rides", the Chariots, the hills that watch him going by, the sparrows, the fly, even the leaves.
"I envy Seas, whereon He rides --" can be seen as a love poem for a man, but it can also be seen as a religious poem. The mention of Heaven and Gabriel can easily make this connection. The love of God and the love of everything he created.

I envy seas whereon he rides

I envy seas whereon he rides,
I envy spokes of wheels
Of chariots that him convey,
I envy speechless hills

That gaze upon his journey;
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As heaven, unto me!

I envy nests of sparrows
That dot his distant eaves,
The wealthy fly upon his pane,
The happy, happy leaves

That just abroad his window
Have summer’s leave to be,
The earrings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me.

I envy light that wakes him,
And bells that boldly ring
To tell him it is noon abroad,—
Myself his noon could bring,

Yet interdict my blossom
And abrogate my bee,
Lest noon in everlasting night
Drop Gabriel and me

I envy seas whereon he rides. Torbjørn Vagle, Ad Van Nederpelt, Oddrun Eikli.

Too much time with over 300 passed away every day.

THE 300

A dependable man
Drives his kids to school
Takes his time from work
Doesn’t miss an event
Or a single bedtime story	

A standout woman
Young and old they need her
It’s her life’s work
Behind every event
And never needing glory

You’re gonna be
One of three hundred
You’re gonna be
One of the lucky
You’re gonna see
How you blundered
Didn’t have to be 
Three hundred
Two hundred
One hundred

Just a boy and a girl
A hand, a touch
A caress, a first kiss
Don’t miss a glance
Never straying afar

A curly haired child
Tent torchlight at night
An adventurous life
Doctor, astronaut, explorer 
A movie star

You’re gonna be
One of three hundred
You’re gonna be
One of the lucky
You’re gonna see
How you blundered
Didn’t have to be 
Three hundred
Two hundred
One hundred

They’re all together
The three hundred
They’re all together
The three hundred
They’re all together
The three hundred

You’re gonna be
One of three hundred
You’re gonna be
One of the lucky
You’re gonna see
How you blundered
Didn’t have to be 
Three hundred
Two hundred
One hundred

Thank you so much Torbjørn and Ad, thank you from my heart.

This music was written and finished before the outbreak of war in Europe. We feel deeply for the people who are suffering in the war.
Despite the cruelty of the war, we share this music today, 
....."let us sit and watch the while
The blue ice curdling on the stream ".....
This poem by Emily Jane Brontë takes us out into nature, where we can for a moment, move away from the painful and brutal world.
The poem focuses on the healing ability of nature. 

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.

How still, how happy! Those are words
That once would scarce agree together;
I loved the plashing of the surge -
The changing heaven the breezy weather,

More than smooth seas and cloudless skies
And solemn, soothing, softened airs
That in the forest woke no sighs
And from the green spray shook no tears.

How still, how happy! now I feel
Where silence dwells is sweeter far
Than laughing mirth's most joyous swell
However pure its raptures are.

Come, sit down on this sunny stone:
'Tis wintry light o'er flowerless moors -
But sit - for we are all alone
And clear expand heaven's breathless shores.

I could think in the withered grass
Spring's budding wreaths we might discern;
The violet's eye might shyly flash
And young leaves shoot among the fern.

It is but thought - full many a night
The snow shall clothe those hills afar
And storms shall add a drearier blight
And winds shall wage a wilder war,

Before the lark may herald in
Fresh foliage twined with blossoms fair
And summer days again begin
Their glory - haloed crown to wear.

Yet my heart loves December's smile
As much as July's golden beam;
Then let us sit and watch the while
The blue ice curdling on the stream -
Emily Jane Brontë

How Still. Torbjørn Vagle. Ad Van Nederpelt. Oddrun Eikli.

So This Is Spring

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

Faces that smile
New Wave and new style
Look at the colors
Listen to the sound
Daffodills and Bluebells
Are covering the ground

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

Meeting @fadysporz on Soundcloud back in 2018 felt like a meeting of soulmates. There is a mutual respect for each other’s work and i wrote the track with room for Fadys heavenly synth work in mind and also with the idea that he joins Cindy and me in the vocal work. With Fady having the ability to ‘read’ the way of the songwriting and harmony construction it was effortless to work together - he is a fantastic musician. Thank you Fady for joining us here! 

how can you sleep, did you sleep
how dare you sleep?
when the water already laps your feet
it's time to move offbeat

you are the rider on the withe horse on the dike

gone with the flow
gone with the flow
don't let it all take you away

how would we guard what we love
if we were stuck behind a broken dike
how would we save what has to be saved
without a heart and nothing but an angry mind

we are the children of the flood

gone with the flow
gone with the flow
don't let it all take you away
we are the children of the flood

poem: " Tell Me " , by Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818- 19 Dec. 1848)
Haworth, England

Describing time is not ever going to be easy, but in her own unique way, Emily Brontë is able to effectively convey a powerful means of doing so.
The images described are fairly simple — the past is something to be longed for, the present is something to plan in, and the future is something to look forward to.
The natural imageries used are phenomena that a child might observe all the time while growing up. The childlike simplicity of the metaphors combined with it`s inner meanings is what makes this poem so beautiful.

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour ?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

And what is the future, happy one ?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.'

Tell Me. Torbjørn Vagle and Oddrun Eikli. Trumpet: Arne Hiorth

J'ai le plaisir de partager avec vous mon interprétation et arrangement au piano et à l'oreille de «  Exit Music ( For a Film ) », une magnifique et si dramatique chanson du groupe Radiohead faisant parti de leur album « OK Computer ». A sa sortie en 1997, cet album a énormément marqué les esprits et a eu un énorme succès mondial. Il aborde le thème du malaise social, l'aliénation face au monde consumériste moderne, l'isolation et l'effet de la technologie sur la société. Ok Computer est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs albums des années 1990 et restera dans nos esprits pour très longtemps car cet album expose une vision de notre société actuelle ( ultra-consommation, mondialisation, les technologies qui contrôlent de plus en plus nos vies, le malaise social...).
A la sortie de leur album, j'étais au lycée, j'aimais beaucoup ce groupe et je continue à l'aimer aujourd'hui...

Merci pour votre grand soutien à ma chaîne et j'espère que vous apprécierez mon cover !

I am pleased to share with you my interpretation and arrangement on the piano and in the ear of "Exit Music (For a Film)", a magnificent and so dramatic song from the group Radiohead which is part of their album "OK Computer". When it was released in 1997, this album had a huge impact and had a huge worldwide success. It addresses the issue of social alienation, emotional isolation, and political malaise, alienation from the consumerism and the effect of technology on society. OK Computer is considered one of the best albums of the 90s and will be remembered for a very long time ...because this album presents a vision of our current society (ultra-consumption, globalization, the technologies that increasingly control our lives, social alienation...).
At the release of this album, I was in high school, I really liked this group and I still love it today ...

Thank you for your great support to my channel and I hope you'll  enjoy my cover !

POEM OF EMILY BRONTË 

This shall be thy lullaby,
Rocking on the stormy sea;
Though it roar in thunder wild,
Sleep, stilly sleep, thou bright-haired child.

When our shuddering boat was crossing
Eldern's lake so rudely tossing,
Then 'twas first my nursling smiled;
Sleep, softly sleep, my fair-browed child.

Waves above thy cradle break,
Foamy tears are on thy cheek,
Yet the ocean's self grows mild
When it bears my slumbering child.

May 1838
