This piee has a feeling of gentle wonderment :)

Si belle composition en collaboration, Elena & Pascal : chapeau !

ineffable melody that spreads wonderfully from one instrument to another, embellished with immense modulations!

Belle émotion à l’écoute de ce moment musical. Les arrangements sont superbes comme d’habitude. Excellent travail dans cette collaboration. On en veut d’autres….

This song kindly soothes my mind. Thank you!

Balancing Act

Hereafter

A companion piece to "The McGills" and "The Preacher"...

My paternal grandmother, Frances McGill, was always a bit rebellious and rambunctious. As a child, she spent most of her time chasing adventures outdoors and survived a number of mishaps, including a life-threatening snake bite.

Following her mother's untimely death, she dropped out of school to get married. Her husband served in the military, then eventually became a minister. After 15 years of marriage, a son arrived (my father) and she dedicated her time to raising him. It was while raising him that she returned to school. She graduated from high school when he did, eventually going to college and graduating with a degree in Education.

Widowed at 50, she rebuilt her life and focused on teaching until she was in her 70s. By then, she’d been a nearly constant presence in our household. She was still a rebel in many ways (there are LOTS of stories!), but she had a deep, unstoppable faith that kept her going through the tough times.

When I think of her, I think of all the times we laughed together, but I also have wonderful memories of hanging out with her while she played the piano (or her Martin guitar) and sang songs. Her favorites included “Frankie & Johnny” and a variety of hymns. She’s been gone for almost 30 years now, but I think of her often. Her greatest legacy to her family includes her faith and the joy of music, which are the basis for this song. This piece is dedicated not only to her, but also to my mother and mother-in-law who left the same legacy.

Lyrics are not part of the recording but are included below:

Been so long, since we gathered ‘round the piano for a song or two,
There’s not a day that passes by when I don't think of you,
But someday things will change, and we will find some heavenly keys,
And we will sing, we will sing.

You lived your life honestly, it was hard, but you trusted the Lord,
Always there for your family, you showed them they were adored,
You sang through ev'ryday of life and when we're together again,
We will sing, we will sing.

We will sing, like we used to do, ‘round the piano, me and you,
We will sing, with our voices raised, full of hope and full of praise,
We'll sing, 'cause God is good and brought us through like He said He would,
We'll sing for the joy of being together again. Together again.

If you're listening and you don't believe there's a heavenly place,
That’s OK, it’s a leap of faith and it comes with amazing grace,
Someday I hope to find you there near a piano or guitar,
And we will sing, we will sing. We will sing, we will sing.

What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child?
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a legally-binding international agreement setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities.
The hope, vision and commitment of world leaders in 1989 led to the Convention. It is up to today’s generation to demand that world leaders from government, business and communities end child rights violations now, once and for all. They must commit to action to make sure every child, has every right.


Gently.

Wrapped in red, orange and blue
The little baby in mothers arms
Tiny white jasmin growing in her garden
Mother Nature dressed in spring
From magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue

Let Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Life`s colors flow from gold to umber
In crocuses, Petunias
In Asters and in Pansies
A thousand shades of reds
In yellows and in brown
From Magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue

May Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Gently. Debra Buesking and Oddrun Eikli

Hello .  Thank you for your visit . I'm just a modest amateur.  Trying to do emotional music.
