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

Lyrics:

No reason to feel really bad 
No excuses to feel really sad 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

Clock is ticking, time is running fast 
My life is short, so many things have passed 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

All is over and the past is past 
We were lovers, and it couldn’t last 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

You chose another and you made your case 
You left me hanging, threw it in my face 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

No time for love 
No game to play 
Won’t be afraid 
No reason made 
No time for love 
No plan to solve 
You want it bad 
No reason had

You had it coming 
Because you wronged me 
I know we’re failing 
We don’t belong here

Last summer we published "Only Dancing" - https://soundcloud.com/peter-bennborn-project/only-dancing-by - a jazzy duet, depicting a brief romance (to put it politically correct).

Fool Me Twice (ft. Coco G Diez, Derek Cornett, Wayne Morley, Jonny Trobro & Walter Kelleher)

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...
