for Abigail Marjorie Lockhart

Well I dont know why you looked at me that way
Im just an old man with not much going on
Nothing left to give no real reason to live
Yet you fell into my arms

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked at me then smiled
said my worlds a better place with you in it
please stay here with me for a while
Dont go
Stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go

The touch of your hand made me understand
that theres life in the old dog yet
Not much I admit but more than I thought
so I thank you so much for the gift

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked
at me in the way that you do
Said youll make a wonderful doctor
if you only just see it on through

Dont go
Stay stay stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go
Abby dont go
Please dont go

I love to dream cause
when I close my eyes to dream
the impossible becomes the reallity

life in the old dog yet

Drive your bike on the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse
Song inspired by Peer's ride :-)

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics) 

In der Stille dieser Nacht
Fallen Tränen wie ein Regen 
(fallen leise, fallen sacht)
Eine Mutter hält ihr Kind
Wiegt es sanft in ihren Armen 
(wiegt es sanft im Abendwind)

Zwischen Gestern und dem Morgen 
(zwischen Zeit und Ewigkeit)
Liegt ein Band aus alter Weisheit 
(liegt die Kraft der Menschlichkeit)

Herzschlag der Hoffnung
Pulsiert durch die Zeit 
(durch die Zeit)
Liebe verwebt uns
Macht unsere Herzen weit 
(Herzen weit)
In deinen Armen
Find ich nach Hause heim 
(nach Hause heim)

Großvaters Stimme erzählt
Von den Schatten dunkler Tage 
(dunkle Tage, schwere Zeit)
Doch sein Blick trägt helles Licht
Über jede alte Klage 
(scheint das Licht der Zuversicht)

Und draußen tobt die Welt 
(die Welt sie tobt)
Doch hier drin wächst die Kraft 
(wächst unsre Kraft)
Die uns zusammenhält 
(hält uns fest)
Die neues Leben schafft

Herzschlag der Hoffnung
Pulsiert durch die Zeit 
(durch die Zeit)
Liebe verwebt uns
Macht unsere Herzen weit 
(Herzen weit)
In deinen Armen
Find ich nach Hause heim 
(nach Hause heim)

In der Küche duftet Heimat
Tassen dampfen, Worte fließen 
(Worte fließen, Zeit steht still)
Und wir weben unsre Träume
Lassen Hoffnung neu ersprießen 
(Hoffnung blüht in Herz und Sinn)

Und irgendwo 
(ganz leise)
Am Horizont
Dämmert schon 
(ein neuer Tag)
Der unsre Liebe krönt


English translation:
In the silence of this night
Tears fall like rain 
(falling softly, falling gently)
A mother holds her child
Cradles it gently in her arms 
(swaying gently in the evening breeze)

Between yesterday and tomorrow 
(between time and eternity)
Lies a bond of ancient wisdom 
(lies the power of humanity)

Heartbeat of hope
Pulsates through time 
(through time)
Love weaves us together
Makes our hearts wide 
(hearts wide)
In your arms
I find my way home 
(home to home)

Grandfather's voice tells
Of the shadows of dark days 
(dark days, hard times)
But his gaze carries bright light
Over every old lament 
(shines the light of confidence)

And outside the world rages 
(the world is raging)
But in here the strength grows 
(grows our strength)
That holds us together 
(holds us tight)
That creates new life

Heartbeat of hope
Pulsates through time 
(through time)
Love weaves us together
Makes our hearts wide 
(hearts wide)
In your arms
I find my way home 
(home to home)

Home smells in the kitchen
Cups are steaming, words are flowing 
(Words flow, time stands still)
And we weave our dreams
Let hope sprout anew 
(Hope blossoms in heart and mind)

And somewhere 
(very quietly)
On the horizon
Dawns already 
(a new day)
That crowns our love

Land of Dreams (Remix)

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit

Ett Hjärta av Guld (A Heart of Gold - A Christmas Carol) - 2024-12-22 12.17

Un Orient désorienté, un occident bien oxydé, espérons qu'en 2025 ça ira un tout petit peu mieux!

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

Concerto for Strings No. 2 op. 47 - 2. Allegro

ENG - “Flower” is the delicacy of a flower growing in an arid field, perhaps among rocks. It is the sign of a life that resists, of a hope that continues to exist even when everything seems to come to a halt. Within the Symphonic Rock Opera Dreaming a Human Symphony, it represents a moment of deep transformation: rediscovering within oneself a feminine image — the receptive, human, and emotional part that allows one to feel again. A love that recreates adolescence, perhaps lived, perhaps only dreamed.

It is a fully symphonic piece that introduces the theme of what will become the great choral finale, when all 80 artists and musicians will unite in a single voice. Toward the end of the piece, the piano hints at a theme that will return later — “Where a Flower Can Stay” — like a karst river, a seed waiting to blossom.

Throughout the Opera, fragments of themes often appear and are later taken up again in subsequent pieces: musical traces that tell a journey, a story, a dream. Dreaming a Human Symphony.

ITA - “Flower” è la delicatezza di un fiore che nasce in un campo arido, magari tra le rocce. È il segno di una vita che resiste, di una speranza che continua ad esistere anche quando tutto sembra fermarsi. All’interno della Symphonic Rock Opera Dreaming a Human Symphony, rappresenta un momento di cambiamento profondo: il ritrovare dentro di sé un’immagine femminile, la parte recettiva, umana e affettiva che permette di tornare a “sentire”. Un amore che ricrea l’adolescenza, forse vissuto, forse solo sognato.

È un brano totalmente sinfonico che introduce il tema di quello che sarà il grande finale corale, quando tutti gli 80 artisti e i musicisti si uniranno in un’unica voce. Infatti, verso la fine del brano, il pianoforte lascia intravedere un tema che ritornerà più avanti, quello di “Where a FlowerCan Stay”, come un fiume carsico — un seme che attende di sbocciare.

Nell’Opera compaiono spesso accenni di temi che vengono poi ripresi in brani successivi: frammenti che “raccontano” un percorso, una storia, un sogno. Dreaming a Human Symphony.
