Oooh this is a beautiful piece! This goes in my "Classical, Mellow Discoveries" playlist instantly!

nicely developed melodies!!! like the accordian!!

This song must be reposted 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩

Such a French sweetness in this waltz. It would be at home in outerspace or at a French cafe sipping coffee.

Phil your sense of musicality is amazing! I love how this all builds off those first opening piano lines, a truly lovely soundtrack experience!

So beautiful song Phil! I really the the arrangement. Very cinematic. Bravo!! :)

OVERSEAS MUSIC AND BANANAS

Another waltz!   3/4 seems to be my compositional default. 
I was imagining the dance of the Moon and Earth as these celestial bodies twirl around the Sun.

On the theme of this song
Marcel Proust used to say that we should not explain a work of art, that it is a bit like giving the recipe for a dish that we offer to taste. I am generally more of this opinion but for this piece I will depart from the rule for several reasons: its length its theme its difficult and slow creation.
We often go through less inspired times sometimes even it's a great desert of ideas that seems to extend as far as the eye can see. That’s a bit of what I’ve been through for the past two years, and probably many of us. And then this summer with Aline during our vacation in the city of Nantes we visited an incredible exhibition on hypnosis and in particular the breathtaking installation by artist Tony Oursler (https://tonyoursler.com/state_nonstate- hypnosis) which was the trigger. For some time now, I had in mind the idea of ​​a series of songs around the theme of sleep and dreams (the diva in the Watchmaker Dream was the first of the series) hypnosis then became the central theme. of this second song which took the form of a suite in 7 moments.
Hysteria is a neurosis which is characterized by real physical distress and suffering which are symptoms of conflicts and psychological trauma. At the end of the nineteenth century many famous doctors like Charcot and Freud began to regard hysteria as a disease and try to treat it with hypnosis. (Freud will abandon this technique later, preferring analysis by speaking alone)
The song tells the story of a session like this in its fanciful way.



the music

I also tried to give the mix a very analog color. We worked as much as possible the old-fashioned way with real instruments plugged into tube amps, emulations of old analog synths, and a tube mic for vocals in a tube eq too, and especially trying to play them. taken live. Finally, I used emulations of mythical consoles from the seventies a lot.

Construction
The piece is conceived as a series of "pictures"  alternating of instrumentals and parts sung by Aline. All these parts were recorded in order one after the other in a single session.

 The illustration
Drawn by Aline the beginning of a series of drawings that we will integrate into a video that may see the light of day in some time

Al’z (https://soundcloud.com/al-z-z-z)
Thank you very much to Al who, not content to deliver us one of his magnificent solos of which he has the secret to close the song, lent me his ears to advise me on this mix.
Ghost in me part one
Something in itself that repeats endlessly
Two bass
A wooden metronome the beating of a heart the ticking of a clock
1 33 Mesmerise me

Hypnosis as a game of seduction ...
 
mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

Were you a kind of Freud, or doctor Charcot?
In your eyes I saw, a strange dark glow ...

mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

I was the kind of girl you wanted on the couch
you were to heal my soul, you said you….

501 now you’re sleeping
Not easy with this drummer ^^
5.47 tell me where it hurts
Symptoms, resistance  ...
7.06 Painful soul, body complaint
Body and mind, the voice is the physical expression of the soul
Only one take for Aline and it was in the box….
10 49 Open that door
Open a door to find behind the symptoms ...
11.58 Ghosts in me part 2
... the ghosts of childhood
 Small intrusion into the trip hop
Solo guitar: Al’z
With a helping hand from our old "partner in crime" Al who plays the final solo

It's written on my aching body,
like a long and meaningless story.
I search in the buried memories
The key that could set me free.

Ghosts in me, ghosts of my childhood
haunt my endless sleepless nights.
Ghosts in me, ghosts from my cloudy mood
chase the day, darken the lights.

I'm lost in the land of no reason,
I am the inmate, I am the prison.
I want your help to find my way,
lead my soul to the light day.

It's morning. Or maybe the middle of the day. Doesn't matter. You're waking up. Not a care in the world. Except eating and stuff. You go about your day. And when you're feeling sleepy again, you just lay down and sleep, wherever you feel like. because you're a dog, like Maggie.

Maggie

You don't have to believe me
I'm not pleased I was right
I'm not proud of my life
I just see certain things 
There're lessons I've learned 
Wickedness in high places
I've discerned 
Are you hip to the subliminal
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 
It's far worse than you feared 
Yet it's far better too
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
With their digital cage
I just see certain things 
Many times I've been burned
The powers of darkness 
Everywhere discerned
Are you hip to the subliminal?
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 




Faith in this World

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!

Life And Death

A lighthouse stands on rocks so steep, 
Its golden beam cuts through the deep. 
The twilight sky in hues so grand, 
Paints dreams across this coastal land.
Waves crash below with rhythmic grace, 
While stars peek out to take their place.

Un phare en Bretagne

This is a bit of a hybrid that combines mostly acoustic instruments with a pop/rock sort of treatment including a distorted electric guitar break. The song relates the history of young love, college age, still kids, that eventually gives way to growth which ultimately brings the passion to an end. Recalling how they both provided security and understanding at the volatile time when kids evolve into adults, until, for one of them, it was no longer needed.

My thanks again to Nat Daniels of Gentle Rain Records for her wonderful production work to help clean up the old base tracks I had created some years ago.

Lyrics:
Those were the stormy days, uncertain, lonely phase
Feeling misunderstood, missed the old neighborhood
Parents that just don’t see, the things we really need
But in one passing glance, love gave us helping hands

I saw you cry and I touched your face
Your tears would dry within my embrace
You and I were just kids, but that’s what loving you did

The moonlight on your breast, my heart leaped through my chest
Lying there by the shore, needing you more and more
But when the dawn came through I saw a brighter you
Much stronger and content, left watching as you went

I saw you cry and I touched your face
Your tears would dry within my embrace
You and I were just kids, but that’s what loving you did

Those were such nascent times, songs of love and easy rhymes
You were fresh and flesh supreme, I was so green
Does that change anything right now, does it solve my heart
Sweat that drips from my brow, passion torn apart

I saw you cry and I touched your face
Your tears would dry within my embrace
You and I were just kids, but that’s what loving you did
We were only kids, but that’s what loving you did
We were only kids, but that’s what loving you did

That’s What Loving You Did
