Something To Win - EP (Teaser)

Pathétique: 2nd Movement

“Confidence” est une pièce pour piano néo-classique, à la fois intime et profondément mélodieuse. Son atmosphère douce et introspective invite à un moment de réflexion et d’émotion pure. Entre minimalisme et expressivité, ce morceau déploie une mélodie qui résonne comme un secret murmuré au creux de l’âme. Fermez les yeux, laissez-vous porter.”

LYRICS
The sky lays on the water
follows the shape
of my body drenched in the heat of the summer
against the fabric
weaved by patient hands
like magic carrying the scent of your...

Skin on their fingertips
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins

Space has heard our calling
the clouded veil
is now parting revealing a speckled marble
among the star births
down by the old birch
down where the sun tastes our summer kissed...

Skin on her flaming lips
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins

Oh I want to stay here
keep the colours near
safe where
you're in the air

You know you got my skin
here within your reach
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins

now I can feel your skin
just like in the dream
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins
something new begins

Skin

"Non-dits" is a melodic piano piece, subtly tinged with melancholy. It resembles a contemporary nocturne, set in an intimate and soothing atmosphere

Non-dits

Another ancient song from my back pages ...back when I was so much older  and serious

I See You Now

A lonely walk to the water                  
Another taste of the rain               
How it stirs and frees a memory       
That trips me up again                                             

As I float on this river
I hug the question of time 
All that is it will be was
Each hour yours and mine

And maybe                                             
One day, I 'll breathe                               
Another way, another life to be found    
And maybe
You'll signal me
And I will finally see when I look around

I see you now, you say to me                 
So far from shore so far from me          
I see you …you say to me                                       
I see you now, you say to me 
I can not hear you're far from me
Can't see you, hear you calling out to me

A glimpse of your story
How could it be
A light, a trick, some wistful dream
That danced along with me

This fleeting emotion
It's been cast to the floor
Just a soft mirage of all there was
Now hanging by my door 

And maybe
One day, we 'll breathe
Another way, another life to be found
And maybe
You'll still be there for me
And I will finally see you when I turn around

I see you now, you say to me                 
So far from shore so far from me          
I see you can you see you                     
I see you now, you say to me 
I see you now can you see me
I see you, see you

I See You Now

I wrote this piece last year, shortly after I had come to my 75th birthday, and as my 76th is fast approaching, I thought to share with you this piece now......
I hope you will like it...

Wrapped in a Blanket
Music and poem written by Jennifer L. Jones

Music… woven into my skin
I live for the seventh chord,
And all its forms
Wrapping me in a blanket of luxury, 
Touching the softness,
Breathing in 
The insatiable joy of each inversion
Holding me still, 
Capturing my being in the moment
Letting me drift, dream, desire… and fall
Down a single thread of consciousness into
A world of me, addicted to tension and in love with release!

July 2025

Wrapped in a Blanket

This piece is about being strong and not wanting to be in between things. Hope you like it and glad to hear your opinion on it....
