I think Chaplin is laughing listening to this ... since then I am doing it out of pure pleasure in my ears.

Such a sweet version of this old favorite :)

Such a beautiful performance.. thank you for creating and sharing with us!

Kanskje verdens aller fineste sang. Nydelig gjort, Oddrun!! Takk for denne på søndagskvelden...

Une Fantaisie Opus 19

Unreachable.

I've started this song last autumn.

I wanted to express the repetitive attempt to touch what remains out of reach. Physically. Mentally. Locked from the outside. Locked from the inside.  When the words are missing. When the meaning is nowhere. 
To go on. Try. Again and again.

Unreachable

Lately I started trusting my intuition and exploring the symbols around me. I came to the conclusion, that if I had looked at the symbolism of things (animals, signs, plants...) more often in my life, I might have avoided some difficult relationships and demanding times. When I wrote this song I had to think of an old, dusty attic full of old books, candles and bottles with little ships inside...

Thanks to: Jordy Meow for the great foto taken in Japan (no, surprisingly it is not made with Photoshop) and to Adam Richard Tucker (@adam-tucker-composer) for the motivating first feedback on the song arrangement.

All profits are directed to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
Spread the word.

about the song:
"Aphel" is the point in orbit of the earth where it is farthest from the sun.
It is the moment of returning…  back towards the sun, to humanity and hope.
It´s the turning point.
I´d love to see this also for our world.

Thank you so much Charles for beautiful musicarrangement, and thank you for this Joy.

"Smile" is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin's 1936 movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, inspired by Puccini's Tosca.[1] John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954.[2] In the lyrics, based on lines and themes from the film, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile. "Smile" has become a popular standard since its original use in Chaplin's film.

Smile .  Charles Chambaz and Oddrun Eikli

I have again the honour and pleasure to share with you a composition by Jean-Pierre Dubois (JiPé)...I was really pleased when he had sent me this composition he wrote a long time ago, as the title mentions it too!:))
I hope you will enjoy my interpretation of it....
