HELENA Brokenhearted (demo version)

I composed, arranged, engineered this original music for the theatre drama "GLI SPETTRI DELL'AUTISMO" (about autism), written by Alessio Bertoli ( NIG-Nuove Idee Globali, Asti, Italy) in collaboration with AMA (Associazione Missione Autismo, Asti, Italy). That music is featured at the end of the performance when the actor (Alessio Bertoli himself) gets back into a box symbolizing the state of partial isolation autistic people live in.

WHAT IF (sample)

This track is featured in the theatre drama "LA PAROLA SMARRITA" ( The Missing Word), by Alessio Bertoli ( NIG- Nuove Idee Globali, Asti, Italy). The drama tells about a Nobel Prize winning professor who gets Alzheimer's Disease. This is a sample of the music I composed, arranged and engineered for the final scene. The professor's memories are almost all gone away, like a dandelion seed blowing by the wind... Photo by Giancarlo GK Rocco

Lyrics: ALIVE FOREVER (Aham Brahmasmi) - By Wai Lana
 
Looking in the mirror every day
I frown I stress and I worry
Oh time you have no mercy
You wilt my body, you sadden my heart

Nothing can make me young again
More wrinkles lining my face
Hair turning grey 
But the soul remains un-changed

Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi

Don’t be afraid of getting old
The true self is ever youthful
And everlasting

Knowing I am not the body
I am at ease
Praise for my looks I do not need

Living my life with true meaning
Knowing that I am spirit soul
I glide through life with inner peace
In time my body will cease to be

Mother earth herself will also age
There is no cause for worry
Eternal we hold pure love in our hearts

So happy to know life has no end
Calm is my mind and at peace
My Lord's love shines everywhere
Alive forever I the soul will be

Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi

Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi
Aham Bramasmi

Aham Bramasmi

"Two thousand years ago, Emperor Qin became famous for building the Great Wall of China, using hundreds of thousands of men to construct it. 

He so much enjoyed ruling over his kingdom, with all the wealth and power, that he couldn’t bear the thought of one day having to leave it all behind. For many, many years he embarked on epic quests, engaging countless servants in the search for an elixir that would give him eternal life, so he could live forever in his kingdom. 

Whether in ancient or modern times, rich or poor, educated or illiterate, no matter what our race or gender, none of us want to cease existing. We all have in common this natural desire to be alive forever.

That is because we are each an eternal spiritual being, just temporarily living in this material body. 

This secret of our true identity is taught in the Bhagavad-gita: 
“For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. His is not slain when the body is slain.”

“Alive Forever” expresses this ancient yoga wisdom of “Aham Brahmasmi”—I am an eternal spiritual being, I am not my body, and I will not die when my body dies. 

Understanding this profound truth, we can live in peace and happiness, 
knowing that our true self is ever-youthful and ever-lasting. 

So there is no need to be sad as our body ages, rather we should feel very blessed to know this priceless jewel of wisdom. "

Alive Forever

Quand le couple n'est plus que deux solo en duo, puis deux solo en solo.

La mine d’or

Au moment des découvertes
J’étais ta mine d’or
Ton soleil, ta lande verte
Ton unique trésor

C’était joie et insouciance
Tu me faisais la cour
Je n’avais pas de méfiance
Sur tous tes beaux discours

Tu me flattais, j’étais gagnée
Tu me chantais, j’étais ravie
Tu m’adorais, j’étais ta reine

Nous vivions tout dans l’ivresse
Des premiers jours heureux
Des matins plein de tendresses
D’un bel amour niaiseux

Mais les mauvaises tablées
De tes potes rugueux
Et le foot à la télé
M’ont repoussée hors jeu

Tu ne chantais plus, tu beuglais
Tu titubais dès le midi
Tu t’agitais, j’étais ta chaîne

Tout ne fut plus que nuages
Des coups bas virtuoses
Des soirées pleines d’orages
Et des matins moroses

Des lendemains qui déchantent
J’en ai eu tous les jours
Lorsque ma cote d’amour
Ne fut plus qu’une pente

Tu me lâchais, moi, je sombrais
Tu découchais, j’étais trahie
Tu m’exécrais, j’étais ta haine

Depuis, tout n’est plus que perte
Et mes yeux incolores
Fanent ma lande déserte
Tout dans ma mine dort

… si je renais
… après l’oubli,
… fête foraine.

"Every Daughter deserves to dream" yet, in an unthinkable act, families dedicate young girls into a life as temple prostitutes.  At a very young age, girls like this are forced into a life of sex to serve anyone in the village and are raped and sexually abused multiple times a day.  You can help end this vicious cycle of sex trafficking by visiting:

Every daughter deserves to dream

Every daughter deserves to dream
Dream of freedom
Free of sorrow, free of pain
That’s not always how it goes
So let’s reach out to her in Jesus name

Oh she’s such a little girl
They took her dream
Stole her innocence and hopes
Now she wonders who will save
So let’s reach out to her in Jesus name

In Jesus name
May we find her 
May we guide her 
All way to tomorrow
In Jesus name
Give her a future
Bright as the sunlight
Like the smile upon her face
In Jesus name

Oh the ocean, it’s wide and deep
Comes between us
But does not have to separate
This heart I offer to her cause
So let’s reach out to her in Jesus name

In Jesus name  
May we find her 
May we guide her 
all way to tomorrow
In Jesus name
Give her a future
Bright as the sunlight
Like the smile upon her face
In Jesus name
With his compassion
Let’s be the Savior
Let’s be His hands and feet that move

In Jesus name
In Jesus name
(FULL CHOIR)
Let’s be His hands and feet
Restore her worth and dignity
Bring mercy from above
Teach them of our Savior’s love
In Jesus name
Let’s be His hands and feet
In Jesus name
Restore her worth and dignity
In Jesus name
Bring mercy from above
In Jesus name
Teach them of our Savior’s love

This has absolutely nothing to do with my life, I never liked nightclubs, too many people. It’s an exercise in imagination, I suppose, and I'm sure it will resonate with some 😊 .... I might put a capo on and redo it ....

‘You’re An Original’ by Tracey Cracknell

You’re an original
And now you’re locked in here with me
You’re an original
And they threw away the key
You’re an original
Yeah, they broke the mold
You’re an original
I like you better now you’re old

When we were young and strong
You could dance away the night
And your eyes of clearest blue
Were filled with tantalizing light
They’d fly, those eyes
Across the undulating sea
Of dancers on the floor
Until they settled on me

You’re an original
Yeah, you’re locked in here with me
You’re an original
And they threw away the key
You’re an original
They broke the mold
You’re an original
I like you better now you’re old

… sort-of solo …

We’ve lived our life together
We’ve had our ups and downs
We’ve had our good times and our bad times
Our smiles and our frowns
You’re not that keen on clubs now
You drive a much more sensible car
But I like you better now, yeah, ‘cause you know who you are

You’re an original
And you’re locked in here with me
You’re an original
And they’ve thrown away the key
You’re an original
Yeah, they broke the mold
You’re an original
I like you better now you’re old

You're An Original
