@peterpurple: Thank you, Peter. Go check out the video as well. Link in liner notes!

sublime piece, Peter...don't know what you're saying but you're saying it in a way that makes me want to follow anywhere :) beautiful piano as well!

Heard this superb piece of music at Non Sapiens'... Had to come and compliment you too :))..

awesome ... although i don´t understand a word, it´s the melody of the words, combined with the piano that makes me dream ...

fantastic work here, love the dark yet beautiful piano and your voice matches it perfectly

Some time ago I got inspired to write a short piece reflecting the time that the listener, you, took to listen to the song, to stop and reflect - for a minute of your life.

Yann got inspired by this moment in time to reflect on the longing for love and the moment you find it. 

This is a collaboration of  Yann's words, vocals and my music. French is truly the language of love and passion...for life! Feel it...enjoy the moment.

Lyrics:

Tant de temps... Tant de tendresse à tenter...
Pour toi... Te pouvoir tenir, te toucher sans compter...
Ces heures qui sucent le cœur sans une âme-sœur,
Seul éperdu, et perdu en une tempête perpétuelle et pourtant ténue, tu sais...
Tu sais les siècles essaient mais ne cessent,
Sans issue...
Et toi, tu sens... En moi, en moi là, cet émoi si...
Une minute dans la vie...

J'attends cette minute tant, cet instantané,
Battement comme hébétement qui se sait condamné,
Soixante secondes dansantes dansent sans discontinuer,
L'essence de ton absence, tant de sens, dénué,
Naissances d'arborescences, cent mille présences,
Tu sens en toi cet étau si...
Une minute dans la vie.	

So much time... So much tenderness to try...
For you... To be able to hold you, touch you, not counting...
All those hours that suck at your heart, with no soulmate,
Alone and madly in love and lost in a neverending storm yet so faint, you know...
You know the centuries try but never stop,
No way out...
And you, you can feel... In me, right here in me, this emotion so... A minute in your life...

Waiting and yearning for that minute, that snapshot in time,
A beating pulse like a stupor aware of one's own end,
Sixty dancing seconds, dancing without cease,
The essence of your absence, such meaning, bereft,
Births of trees and branches, myriads of spirits,
You can feel inside now, such a grip...
A minute in your life.

Une Minute Dans La Vie (Peter Bennborn & Yan Vienne)

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...
