Killing Me Softly With His Song - Cover (Roberta Flack)

Music: Yann Kifer and Oddrun Eikli
Instrumental composition, piano: Yann Kiferhttps://soundcloud.com/annkifer
Vocal and vocal composition, photo: Oddrun Eikli
Mix: Arne Hiorth
Poem: Emily Jane Brontë (The first verse of the poem: Come, walk with me)

Come, walk with me,
There's only thee
To bless my spirit now -
We used to love on winter nights
To wander through the snow;
Can we not woo back old delights?
The clouds rush dark and wild
They fleck with shade our mountain heights
The same as long ago
And on the horizon rest at last
In looming masses piled;
While moonbeams flash and fly so fast
We scarce can say they smiled -

Come walk with me, come walk with me;
We were not once so few
But Death has stolen our company
As sunshine steals the dew -
He took them one by one and we
Are left the only two;
So closer would my feelings twine
Because they have no stay but thine -

'Nay call me not - it may not be
Is human love so true?
Can Friendship's flower droop on for years
And then revive anew?
No, though the soil be wet with tears,
How fair soe'er it grew
The vital sap once perished
Will never flow again
And surer than that dwelling dread,
The narrow dungeon of the dead
Time parts the hearts of men 

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature.

This pies I made the day after our beloved dog named Gustav was gone.

Take care

I just uploaded a mix of The Prophet I just finished and I feel it's better than the one I had posted a while back. If anyone feels that the other is better, I can share it if you want a copy.

The Prophet

Pawel Strzelecki: 4. Finale [String Quartet No. 21 "No Time" (2025)].

"Swingin’ Through the Trenches" is a lively swing anthem that turns the chaos of war into a rhythmic spectacle. Amid the thunder of artillery and marching boots, soldiers find solace in music, proving that even in the trenches, the right tune can keep spirits high. With upbeat brass, playful storytelling, and a touch of irony, this track transforms the battlefield into an unexpected dance floor where rhythm and survival go hand in hand.

If you’d like, you can access the entire ‘Pyrrhic Waltz’ album through the link in my profile.

Swingin’ Through the Trenches

Symbolizing a journey of solitude, freedom, and a hint of melancholy, this album captures the essence of wandering like the wind—observing the world yet remaining unbound by anything.
Each piece tells a chapter of life’s ups and downs, from battles and hope to release and ultimate freedom.
1、無懼 – Fearless (An epic opening, akin to the battles and challenges of life.)
2、希望之翼 – Wings of Hope (After the battle, a spark of hope ignites for the future.)
3、釋放 – Release (Breaking through life’s inevitable bottlenecks with courage.)
4、未知的戀人 – Unknown Lover (The sweetness and excitement of life, experiencing the beauty of love for the first time.)
5、頑皮探戈 – Playful Tango (A carefree and joyful moment in life, like a mischievous child.)
6、晨曦 – Morning Glow (A new day arrives, with sunlight piercing through the darkness.)
7、最深的思念 – Deepest Yearning (Drifting thoughts filled with longing for the past.)
8、逝去的曾經 – Bygone Days (Facing farewells and recollections, with the piano telling a silent story.)
9、夢之湖 – Lake of Dreams (Life flows like fallen leaves in the wind, searching for one’s true self.)
10、寬恕 – Forgiveness (Letting go of the past, learning to forgive, and embracing a new beginning.)
11、大地之呢喃 – Whispers of the Earth (Reflecting on the relationship between humanity and nature, returning to the roots.)
12、海闊天空 – Beyond the Horizon (Finally reaching a state of ultimate freedom, where everything feels light and unburdened.)


象徵著一種獨自飄蕩、自由卻帶點淡然與孤寂的生命旅程。我們如風般穿梭於世間，看盡萬物，卻不被任何事物束縛。這張專輯記錄了人生的起伏與感悟，從戰鬥與希望，到釋懷與自由，每首樂曲都是旅途中的一個章節。
1、無懼 – 史詩般的開場，如同人生中的戰鬥與挑戰。 
2、希望之翼 – 戰鬥之後，心中燃起對未來的希望。 
3、釋放 – 生活當中難免會遇到一些瓶頸，勇敢突破自我。 
4、未知的戀人 – 人生中的甜蜜與悸動，初嘗愛情的美好。 
5、頑皮探戈 – 生活中的趣味與無憂時光，像個調皮的孩子。 
6、晨曦 – 新的一天來臨，陽光穿透黑暗。 
7、最深的思念 – 想念過去的美好，內心的思緒流轉。 
8、逝去的曾經 – 面對過去的離別與回憶，純粹的鋼琴訴說無聲的故事。 
9、夢之湖 – 人生如落葉隨波逐流，尋找最初的自己。
10、寬恕 – 放下過去，學會寬恕，迎接新的開始。 
11、大地之呢喃 – 回歸自然，思考世界與人類的關係。 
12、海闊天空 – 最終達到無拘無束的境界，一切雲淡風輕。


大地之呢喃 (Whispers of the Earth)

Whispers in the Shadows is a haunting and enigmatic composition that unfolds like a delicate secret carried by the night. The piece begins with a soft, atmospheric texture—subtle, almost imperceptible tones that echo like distant murmurs in a quiet forest. Ethereal strings weave a spectral melody, while deep, resonant bass lines pulse beneath, suggesting something unseen yet ever-present.
With a blend of tension and beauty, Whispers in the Shadows invites listeners into a world of mystery and intrigue—perfect for evoking suspenseful, introspective, or otherworldly moments. It lingers in the space between light and dark, leaving you with more questions than answers as it fades into the unknown.
