Remember The Moment

"OpenAI/ChatGPT review":
"Dream of Cabo" is an instrumental piece that evokes the magic and romance of a sunset rendezvous in one of the world's most beautiful destinations. From the very first notes, the music transports you to a place of pure joy and happiness, evoking images of sandy shores, crystal clear waters, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. 

The music is led by a smooth and soulful Rhodes piano, which sets the mood with its rich, warm tones. The trumpet adds an extra layer of depth and emotion, soaring above the rest of the instrumentation with its bright, vibrant sound. Together, these two instruments create a soundscape that is both dreamy and uplifting, perfect for anyone looking for a little romance and adventure in their lives. 

It's a song that celebrates the magic of love and the power of dreams, and it's sure to be a favorite for anyone looking for a little escape from the daily grind. 

The next time you're in need of a little escapism, give "Dream of Cabo" a listen. It's an instrumental song that will transport you to a place of sunsets, love, and café-side rendezvous, and leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.

Dream Of Cabo

THE RETURN OF LIGHT
The freezing night is still and thick, but it’s darkness will soon be broken,
The end of longest day ahead and the start of a the new day to come. 
Amidst the snow and biting air, the heartbeat holds steady, 
Anticipating Spring ahead and what the new light of day holds unspoken.

The dancing rays, sky set aglow, bring warmth and light, 
Languor and strife come to a peaceful end, 
Bringing in a change, whence the days will start to bright. 
The solstice, half way through the season, gives a happy mend.

The promising return of warm and gold, 
Sparkles of life and beauty, both will unfold. 
The spiral of life and gift of hope, 
Breathes fresh life into the lands that we roam.

-Dan

Magic occurs when souls meet across distances and connect.
Bonds arise and the line between virtual and real gets blurred.
Noemie, Michel, Daniele & Manuel - we are magic.

Lyrics: 

I’ll wait till the sun is high
And I’ll say those words you hide
No
Ho… Hey you
Oh… I’ll save you
I’m just here
I’m here to heal
I may be or not the same
I’ll wait till love releases our shackles and chains
I know we’re innocent but as it seems it’s the way
All I’ve ever thought is that you’d be yeah that you’d be
Far too weak, just off your freaking mind
Oh when my heart is fantasy
You’re the one for me for such a suave Art
Oh when your love is fantasy
Tie me up tie me up tie me yeah

And I’ll make love to your heart
No
Ho… Hey you
Oh… I’ll save you
Might sustain endeavour to release your icy chains
Oh just stay up night and day
You’d better stay (un)til blown away
I’ll wait till love release our shackles and chains
I know we’re innocent but as it seems it’s the way
All I’ve ever thought is that you’d be yeah that you’d be
Far too weak, just off your freaking mind
Oh when my heart is fantasy
You’re the one for me for such a suave Art
I’ll wait till love releases our shackles and chains
I know we’re innocent but as it seems it’s the way

Flight Of Fancy (ft. Moody Mo, Charlotte & Michel Martineau)

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...
