As we enter 2024, a reminder that there is no fate. We make our path as we walk. And, if we are willing to give more than what we are required to give, we are actually in command.

*** Não Há Destino ***
Quiseste um passo, andei a milha
só para mostrar quem manda.
Quiseste o manto, dei-te a camisa,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Minha alma é livre, ninguém me obriga.
Ninguém nos leva a esperança.
Não há destino. Ao caminhar traço o meu caminho.
Quiseste a bolsa, eu dei-te a vida,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Pediste um esforço, dobrei a esquina,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Meu credo é simples: Amor é vida.
Ninguém nos leva a esperança.
Não há destino.
Ao caminhar traço o meu caminho.

*** There Is No Fate ***

You wanted a step, I walked a mile
just to show who's in command.
You wanted the cloak, I gave you the shirt,
just to show who's in command.
My soul is free, no one forces me.
No one takes away our hope.
There is no fate. As I walk, I make my path.
You wanted the purse, I gave you my life,
just to show who's in command.
You asked for an effort, I turned the corner,
just to show who's in command.
My creed is simple: Love is life.
No one takes away our hope.
There is no fate.
As I walk, I make my path.

The Waltz

In music, the term “arabesque” refers to a highly ornamental melody whose free unfolding expresses a slowing of time within the composition. Unlike the straight line, which is the most direct path from A to B, the curving movement of the arabesque creates an effect of circular phrases that conjure perpetual melodies. Debussy referred to "arabesque" as a piece of music with exquisite detail and clear repetitions of ideas and artistic balance. This term is used for various kinds of melodic, contrapuntal, or harmonic ornamentation. Several composers including Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann have used this term as a title for compositions. The term "arabesque" is taken from the Arabic art and architecture which was very ornate. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Epic Theme

There's something very lonely about the vastness of empty space in the universe, and the eons of time between unimaginally violent events. And on one lonely, blue, oasis of a planet there is a species that persists in tearing itself apart. SAD.
I found the image on Pinterest but couldn't find a credit.
The guitar is a Fender Telecaster with Texas pickups - my "go-to" guitar these days. I used two amps with crunch settings in series to get the slightly electric crackle.

ROSÉ (로제) - toxic till the end

"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"
