Life is one big adventure. There are many challenges to overcome, many paths to take, many decisions to make. Pursue your goal even if it is difficult or precisely because it is difficult. And when you have achieved it, you will look for the next adventure.

Trance feat. Ryder - Paploviante

"Starting Over" (demo v2)

Made and played by me on August 16 and September 12, 2024, using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V and UVI SonicPass (Emulator II, Marcato Strings sound).

Edited a little on September 12, 2024 (changed melody a bit & added and modified some chords, added some chorus etc.). Mastered with Ozone 11 on September 12, 2024.

I'm also working on an instrumentalized version. Also, this song could maybe use some lyrics, and it is still something I have to look into. All comments would be more than welcome, especially regarding the melody (it seems that good melodies are pretty challenging to develop).

As two sources of inspiration here I could name Luis Miguel's versions of the songs "Toda una vida" (by the great Osvaldo Farrés) and "Ese momento" (by the great Armando Manzanero).

Starting Over (v2)

Mix of classical and thrash metal music called Symphonic Metal.

Count The Steps

Put on your blue shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Count the steps you’ll take
Put on your blue shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Break the codes you’ll make

I don’t want to paint the moon
A hundred shades of blue
I just want to sing this song
Cos it reminds me of you
Put on your best face

I could swim across the bay
To the distant clouds
Count the steps you’ll take
But I just want to be by you
And hold your Beatle’s hand
Put on your best face

Put on your blue shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Rock the fakes you’ll bake

I can’t help but see you
The largest rock in the sea
Painted blue
I know when you’re coming
The whitest cloud in the sky

I could swim across the bay
To the distant clouds
Count the steps you’ll take
But I just want to be by you
And hold your Beatle’s hand
Put on your best face

I could swim across the bay
Cos only you and I
Count the steps you’ll take
I could swim across the bay
To the distant clouds
Cos only you and I
Break the codes you’ll make
I could swim across the bay
Put on your blues shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Rock the fakes you’ll bake

Count The Steps

This is my Norwegian version of my song "was It You"

Lyrics and vocal by me
Music made in Garageband

The lyrics is in English in the description on my song "Was It You"    🌸
Listen to Was It You? (Original ) by Janne Hennie on #SoundCloud

North Norwegian Lyrics:

Konturan av dæ svinne hen
Du som en gang skinte så sterkt
Alt det du har gjort
Har brent sæ fast i mæ
I alle minnan æ har lagd..

Va det du? Va det sant?

Eller skapte æ en illusjon
Av det æ ville ha?
Hodet mitt e fullt av forvirring
Over den æ trudde æ så..

Va det du? Va det sant?

Æ malte mæ sjøl et bilde
Med det æ ville se..
Trudde virkelig æ så dæ
Men det va ikke sant..

Æ så dæ..
Men det va ikke sant....

Va Det Du?    Original (Norwegian version of my song "Was It You")

A song for Earth and the hope.we don't warm it too much


Lyrics

Who calls me/you?
Who's ears are these?
Who breaks this complicated freeze?
Who wants to play and race the breeze?
Who needs to heed to the two degrees
Who wants to share the real and true?
Who wants the fair to linger through?
Who wants an equal sided dream?
Who wins each time on a losing team?
Stop demanding independence not withstanding the lions carbon share
In spirit, here is a call for the Earth 🌎

Far Away From The Past

He's got a raincoat and I have an umbrella
he has the wind and those are his clouds
gentle, gentle the man I love is God
Holy, holy, Sacred Lord
Holy, Holy, Forever Lord
Holy is the Lord
in the lighted room where doors open
the Lion the Lamb understand, burning fire; the man I love is God
if the heavens pass away, sun and moonlight fade
I will not fear as the city appears, New Jerusalem like a jewel
Holy, Holy, Sacred Lord
Holy, Holy, Forever Lord
Holy is the Lord

Sacred Lord

It's okay
If you feel the sadness
Let it show
It's not madness

Ask for comfort
Ask for peace
Let your heaviness
Soon be released

What's on your heart
Lay it down
Release the weight
You'll come around

Nurture your soul
Take your time
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
Find the light
That brings your strength
Hope in sight
This is your day

What's on your heart
Lay it down
Release the weight
You'll come around

What's on your heart
Lay it down, Lay it down
Release the weight
You'll come around

Nurture your soul
Take your time
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine

Find the light
That brings your strength
Hope in sight
This is your day

What's on your heart
Lay it down, Lay it down
Release the weight
You'll come around

Wrap it up in peace
Even in your struggle
You'll find the light
You'll learn to juggle

In the shadows
A hand holds tight
Warmth in night
Remove your spite

Renew your strength
Feel the grace
Peace fills space
It's time to take

What's on your heart
Lay it down, Lay it down
Release the weight
You'll come around

Nurture your soul
Take your time
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine

What's on Your Heart

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics.
