Cruising in the outer space

So..on Thanksgiving, my brother-in-law's girlfriend tells me she loves Colplay"s "Yellow"....and tells me I should sing it sometime.  Ok, so I decided to whip up a quick cover of it for her...for Christmas.  Check it out...and tell me what you think!!

Yellow  (Coldplay Cover)

Diese neue Komposition widme ich meiner geliebten Mutter, Ruth Agnes Kruhl, welche heute vor einem Jahr starb. Die Eingangsmelodie basiert auf dem geistlichen Abendlied „Nun ruhen alle Wälder“ von Paul Gerhardt (1607 – 1676). Die vorletzte Strophe daraus hat sie uns Kindern oft als Gute Nacht Lied vorgesungen:

„Breit aus die Flügel beide,
o Jesu, meine Freude,
und nimm dein Küchlein ein.
Will Satan mich verschlingen,
so lass die Englein singen:
'Dies Kind soll unverletzet sein.' “

Der zweite, „elektronischere“ Teil beschreibt zunächst die Gefühle der Trauer und Nachdenklichkeit, zum Ende hin dann aber auch der dankbaren Erinnerung und hoffnungsvollen Zuversicht, dass unsere Lieben auch nach dem Tod bei uns und um uns sind. 


I dedicate this new composition to my beloved mother, Ruth Agnes Kruhl, who died a year ago. The entrance melody is based on the spiritual evening song "Now Resting All Forests" by Paul Gerhardt (1607 - 1676). The penultimate verse of it she often sung us children as a good night song:

"Spread out the wings, O Jesus, my joy, and take in your little one. If Satan will devour me, let the little angels sing: 'This child shall be uninjured.' "

The second "more electronic" part first describes the feelings of grief and thoughtfulness, but then, finally, the grateful memory and hopeful confidence that our loved ones are with us and around us even after death.

"Pluralism" is a collection of songs conceived / recorded on the Teenage Engineering OP-1 digital synthesizer and mixed / polished in Ableton Live. It's a marriage of lo-fi improvisation, 4-track overdub recording, modern production trickery, and old fashion engineering. A digest of exalted mistakes.

Horizon

I am 69 years old. I am a huge fan of the Beatles, Mike Oldfield, Alan Parsons, David Gilmore, and Kraftwerk and Jeremy Blake - aka "Red Means Recording". It was Mike Oldfield who opened my eyes to the possibility of multitrack recording. I play keyboards and a little guitar. Creating music is my passion but that is becoming more difficult with the onset of tinnitus. But making music to me has always been like painting with sound. Sometimes I just fall in love with a particular sound or instrument. I marvel at that amazing combination. My sweet wife and I are also believers in Jesus Christ - who was sent by God to redeem us back into eternal fellowship with Him by sacrificing himself, dying on a cross of shame to pay for our sins. I love the Bible. My music to me is an audible diary of the soul.
