LYRICS: 
See the lightning on the skyline
Hear that thunder roll
Feel the storm rising in the midnight air
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

See the snow capped mountain in a big blue sky
Hear that mountain stream begin to flow
And that stream becomes a mighty river
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

So many questions
Where are the answers to be found?
Is my head way up in the clouds?
Are my feet on solid ground?
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

From this headland looking out to sea
As the ocean breeze begins to blow
Wave after wave washes over me 
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

Hear That Thunder Roll

Lyrics, melody, music and vocals by Blanche and production and instruments Igor Olejar.

My contribution to the May 2022 KVR competition.

Fairground

Hello to all,
a few days ago i was surfing on soundcloud, and i saw that Anastasiya Ihnatovich started following me. I clicked on his profile by curiosity and i listened to his music. They are solo piano pieces, and I fell in love with a series of 3 pieces with the overall title "Up Until Then".
I contacted her and asked her if I could do an arrangement on the first piece "Up", and she accepted.

Here is the solo piano part (first piece of the list) composed and performed by Anastasiya Ihnatovich:

Here is the result once arranged and orchestrated, hoping you like it.

Thanks for listening and for your comments,

Franck

PS: I want to thank Anastasiya for allowing me to create a little arrangement and orchestration around her track "UP".

Bonjour à tous,
il y a quelques jours de cela je surfais sur soundcloud, et j'ai vu qu'Anastasiya Ihnatovich s'est mise à me suivre. J'ai cliqué sur son profil par curiosité et j'ai écouté sa musique. Il s'agit de morceaux de piano seul, et je suis tombé sous le charme d'une série de 3 morceaux avec pour titre global "Up Until Then".
Je l'ai contacté et je lui ai demandé si je pouvais faire un arrangement sur le premier morceau "Up", et elle a accepté.

Voici la partie piano seul (premier morceau de la liste) composée et interprêté par Anastasiya Ihnatovich:

Voici le résultat une fois arrangé et orchestré, en espérant que cela vous plaise.

Merci pour votre écoute et vos éventuels commentaires,

Franck

PS: Je tiens à remercier Anastasiya de m'avoir autorisé à créer un petit arrangement et une orchestration autour de son morceau "UP".

Une Pensée pour L'Ukraine

Mastering: Adam R. Tucker (@adam-tucker-composer)

A walk through a time where the fields were still full of poppies, cornflowers and camomile and where my grandmother would use the linen tablecloth she inherited from her own grandmother....

Simple Google-Translation of the lyrics:
Photo in a frame
with your name
matt portrait from a bygone time

Me in a little dress
at your side
Flowers by the wayside of a time gone by

Your linen dress 
Your hand so soft
Feeling such a security

Stomp in the gravel path
I laugh while we chat
deep familiarity of a time gone by

Camomile scent 
and red poppies
Wandering through a time gone by

Your linen dress 
your hand so soft
I feel such security

Elderberry syrup 
and a sausage
Wandering through time gone by

In your lap
I am feeling at ease
while I hear your belly rumble

I feel the wind,
Dancing to myself
Through high pastures as an eternal child

In my flat
I look at the photo
Tears are rolling through all these times

I see your face
I feel your light 
And that you're still among us

Reminiscence

Melody for the voice, poem and voice: @oddrun-eikli:
Piano composition and pianos: Debra Buesking

Thank you dear Oddrun for this gift of music.  No REGRETS whatsoever about our friendship :)

Regrets.

Hear the whispers
Of the falling leaves
When I write the words
I will never speak
A few unspoken words
Appear like falling leaves

No heart would seek regret
But I hold its hand
And I will not forget
Sweet autumn fields
That lingers in my mind

A few unspoken words
Appears like falling leaves
At other times they wildly fly
Until they reach the sky

Regrets. Oddrun Eikli & Debra Buesking

This fantastic seaman's song is one of the first songs I heard with David Todd - on his soundcloud page, http://soundcloud.com/toddlers ,some years ago..  Now I have made a version of it myself... http://soundcloud.com/ingrid-h gave me some great help with the backing vocals. The instruments I play are: acoustic and electric guitar, bouzouki, harmonica, bass and bongo drums. I hope you will enjoy it!

Cold and hunger - written by David Todd

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
You can also listen to some of my music on Spotify. Just click on the link below.
