D-Die Donau

The sound of a plano dances between the smoke volutes. The warm and melancholic notes are intertwined with the crackling of a cigarette's embers, while time seems to slow down, suspended between the undulating rhythm of jazz and the slowness of a deep shot.
In every melody, in every breath, there is a refuge for those who seek untelled stories, thoughts never confessed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Il suono di un piano danza tra le volute di fumo. Le note calde e malinconiche si intrecciano con il crepitio della brace di una sigaretta, mentre il tempo sembra rallentare, sospeso tra il ritmo ondulante del jazz e la lentezza di un tiro profondo.
 In ogni melodia, in ogni boccata, si trova un rifugio per chi cerca storie non dette, pensieri mai confessati.

Я тебя никогда не забуду (Piano)

I think perspective is important but ends up seemingly difficult to attain. Being so self absorbed that you cannot understand or at times even see other people/nature ends up with a fertile ground for sensless persecution/discrimination . Perspective I think will make you humble and humility will allow empathy to grow


lyrics

Ok now, let's keep it simple
you're born,you live ,you die
I hate to inform you but
there isn't any  particular reason why

yes..you are important for sure
but guess what?? so is everything else on this small world

you are not above..you are not below
you are just part of a bigger show

if you don't see eye to eye
with someone else's view
remember you are part of them  as much as they are part of you

so live your life as you see fit
and leave everyone else to find their own niche
and if you still don't see eye to eye
please try to see heart to heart

I think that might work

keep it simple

"Ah! Sun-flower" is a poem by William Blake, published in his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. The poem explores themes of longing, weariness, and the human desire for something beyond earthly existence, using the sunflower as a symbol.

Thank you from my heart Oddrun, it`s always good working with you and to see how things finds its natural way

Poem: William Blake

Ah! sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go

Ah! Sun-Flower. Oddrun Eikli. Torbjørn Vagle

Carl from the Beautiful dark wrote a song today titled "Baldy Patty" and  it inspired me to write my own personal a song about baldness.  I started to lose my hair in my early twenties, and for awhile it bothered me and then one day, I decided to shave my head and I have never looked back. And now so many years have passed that I have been bald longer than I had hair.

My hair’s falling out and I don’t know what to do.
My hair’s falling out, and I’m singing this song to you.

I’ve got hair on my fingers; I’ve got hair on my neck.  
I’ve got on my toes, I’ve got hair on my chest.  
But the one place I want it, it keeps falling out.  
My hair’s falling out and I don’t know what to do.

I shaved my head until the top of my skull was shiny
And I know it’s counterintuitive but I’m no longer bald and whiny.
When you’re young, you assume that you’ll always have hair
And then when you start to lose it, you think it’s not fair
Sampson in the bible when he lost his hair, he became so weak
But that guy on the bottle of mister clean is definitely no geek

I’ve got hair on my fingers; I’ve got hair on my neck.  
I’ve got hair on my toes; I’ve got hair on my chest.  
But where it’s missing on the top of my head, I no longer care one bit.
Because now when it comes to baldness, I don’t give a shit

My Hair's Falling Out

The Fall

Victor Birkan resides in Beer Sheva, Israel. In his youth, he obtained a classical musical education in St. Peterburg, Russia. Even then, he showed an interest in piano improvisation, although his teachers did not encourage it too much. Then came a long break… Victor tried different professions – biologist, computer IT. His passion for music did not interrupted, but he only started playing regularly again around 2016, and in 2018 began posting his compositions.
After receiving positive feedbacks on social media, he focused on improvised music. He is deeply convinced that improvisation is not a privilege of jazz, it is the classical piano that finds its way to people's hearts. Victor Birkan never prepares for his recordings. Sitting down at the piano, he has no idea where to start, what will be in the middle and how he will finish. The melody will come from somewhere... He seeks to capture pure emotion and splash it onto the keyboard. Practically does not use computer effects. His listeners often write about the "magic", bewitching influence of his compositions.
Over the past year, Victor’s composition, “Between Night and Day”, has been nominated for Best Solo Piano Single by the ONE WORLD MUSIC RADIO, and some interesting compositions have been created in collaboration with Yellow Roze Records label. Victor is constantly striving to expand his audience.
