Lyrics:
Don't want to be a rose
You want to be a wildflower
Never mind the sun
You want to take a moon shower

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

You say you're getting old
You say you've reached a milestone mama
You're tired of being sold
You're tired of all the hometown drama

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

I love the way the moon glows
I love the way the wind blows
When it goes
Through your hair

Gonna be a wild ride mama
Gonna be a rodeo
Gonna be an LA drama
Gonna have to rope me down

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

Half A Mile From Here

Don't Give In

'In A Moment' is a smooth jazz piece and just reflects my mood at the time of writing.

Dont Smudge The Ink

In A Moment

"Dans mes pensées" est une composition pour piano aux accents néoclassiques, à la fois mélodieuse et empreinte de mélancolie. Elle évoque un voyage intérieur, entre rêverie et émotion retenue.

I would like to thank Alan Hamilton @almal-4: for his generosity in mastering this track for me and answering all my Cubase questions!  Sincere thanks to you, Alan.  If you have not discovered Alan's superb jazz fusion let me encourage you to visit his profile and start listening.

"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" is a 1932 song first released by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.  It is one of my all time favorites to play.  It seems to be a perfect template for all manner of styles.

Garden piano

What was that man dreaming of, the one who played the saxophone the other night? When he finally wakes up, we’ll ask him – though it’s unlikely he’ll ever reply. And if by any chance he were willing to answer, he might say: "Nothing that I can remember, because nothing ever happens in my dreams."

This is the second in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

"Pascal Sardi-Antasan - pianiste et compositeur français, mêle les genres du néoclassique, du romantisme dans sa musique émotionnelle et cinématographique. 
Inspiré par sa formation classique et une culture musicale éclectique, il laisse libre cours à son intuition pour créer des compositions touchantes et  modernes"
