Come Stay With Me (Vocal)

"Tea with Debussy & Pärt in Casablanca" is a musical dream that bloomed during my vacation in Havana, Cuba. Inspired by classical masterpieces from Arvo Pärt and Claude Debussy, I envisioned an imaginary encounter with these esteemed composers in Casablanca, over Moroccan tea.

This piece is not an imitation of their styles but rather a heartfelt conversation between us. It embodies the essence of typical conversations in Morocco, where we all speak at the same time, meandering from topic to topic, and experiencing numerous changes of atmospheres, tempi, textures, and fragments of thematic material.

It begins with minimalist touches, a nod to Pärt's recent works, where the piano introduces serene arpeggios, intertwining with heartfelt viola melodies. As we delve into our tea time, I incorporate some of Debussy's harmonic vocabulary. 

Throughout our harmonious dialogue, the piece mirrors the dynamic nature of conversations in Morocco. We experience moments of collective excitement, where the music swells with vibrant textures and lively tempi, as if everyone is speaking at once. Themes and motifs emerge and intertwine, mirroring the meandering nature of our discussion as we navigate from one topic to another.

As our musical journey unfolds, our collaboration celebrates cultural fusion, weaving together Pärt, Debussy, and my artistic zest. Each voice contributes to the narrative, inviting moments of wonder and contemplation through our shared inspirations.

Tea with Debussy and Pärt in Casablanca for Clarinet in A and Piano Virtual Pre-Release Version

In the corners of your mind, 
where the secrets lie confined,
All your demons trapped in time 
long live the skeletons 
The closet doors will pound 
as the rattling bones resound
To your sins forever bound 
long live the skeletons 
Haunted by persistence 
in the depths of your existence 
When they speak people listen 
long live the skeletons 
And as your drowning in regret 
in their hollowed out sockets
They never will forget
 long live the skeletons

Long live the skeletons, 
locked deep inside your soul,
Whispering tales of the guilty, 
they’ll make you lose control 
Long live the skeletons,  
secrets you’ve never shown
They’ll tell all your sins
they’ll dig up your bones

Rotten pieces of torn flesh
Clinging on like deep regret
Parts you’d like us to forget
Long live the skeletons
As they put you through the ringer
All the Guilty feelings linger
Feel their stiff bony fingers
Long live the skeletons
And in the dead of night
When you’ve given up the fight
And they whisper out your lies
Long live the skeletons
And as you keep on digging deeper
The price to pay gets steeper
you’ll no longer be the keeper
Long live the skeletons

Long live the skeletons
All that you don’t confess
They’ll get it out of you
They’ll rip it out of your chest
Long live the skeletons
Forever rue this day
Long live the skeletons 
Your black heart on display

Deadly legion, bathed in moonlight.
Come the messengers of doom,
Unleash hellfire from the shadows
Release chaos from your tomb 
born from fire and from hatred
Slaughtered daughters broken sons, 
Rage through darkness, 
focused vengeance 
So Long live the skeletons

All the things you did 
remember everything you said
Now your dancing with the dead
Long live the skeletons 
The prices will be paid
For the choices that you made
All the pain you can’t evade
Long live the skeletons
When they come for their toll
They’ll be coming for your soul,
And They’re coming for control
Long live the skeletons
And at torture they’re the best
And they’ll never let you rest
Pull your heart out of your chest
Long live the skeletons

Long live the skeletons, 
locked deep inside your soul,
Whispering tales of the guilty, 
they’ll make you lose control 
Long live the skeletons,  
secrets you’ve never shown
They’ll tell all your secrets 
they’ll dig up your bones

Long live the skeletons
All that you don’t confess
They’ll get it out of you
They’ll rip it out of your chest
Long live the skeletons
Forever rue this day
Long live the skeletons 
Your black heart on display

Long Live the Skeletons

Wandering through this dusty road
Tumbleweed rolls wild and free

Wandering through this dusty road
Tumbleweed rolls wild and free
The winds of fate, they guide our stride
To places where hearts can beat as one

Across the fields, across the sand
Tumbleweed rolls wild and free
It’s like a dance, we sway and spin
In every turn, we meet our fate

As tumbleweeds roll wild and free
They spread their seeds for all to see
In every turn, a chance to grow

From distant lands, we come to meet
Two wanderers on paths so fleet
Chance encounters shape our days
Like tumbleweeds in a boundless maze

As tumbleweeds roll wild and free
They spread their seeds for all to see
In every turn, a chance to grow

Rolling through the desert night
Stars above, our guiding light
The randomness that steers our feet
In life’s great dance, our souls repeat
(In life’s great dance, our souls repeat)

As tumbleweeds roll wild and free
They spread their seeds for all to see
In every turn, a chance to grow

As tumbleweeds roll wild and free
They spread their seeds for all to see
In every turn (Wandering)
A chance to grow (Through this dusty road)
In every turn (Wandering)
A chance to grow (Through this dusty road)
In every turn, a chance to grow

Tumbleweed
