Nature As My Friend

It's always hard to lose someone you care about. 
It's even harder to lose someone from your youth.
A great friend, someone who was always there for you
no matter what. Just like family!

She was a real Tomboy. I still chuckle and smile thinking about it.
One time she got into a fight because some random person grabbed her ass
when walking by. She knocked this dude right through the bar's window!
That's how badass she was, hence her nickname " One Punch Nicky ".

She was very pretty and had a killer friendly smile which in turn
caught most people off guard due her aggressive nature.
Which often would work in her favor! She was a real spitfire. 
Can't even remember how many times
I grabbed her by the hair to break up fights! She wasn't a hateful person.
Just one of those things growing up. Troubled, being young and stupid!

So many good memories and even the bad, will cherish those always.
It's bin so long now, still missing you dear Nicolai.
This track is a reminder to myself that I will never forget you!

This ones for you X

Saddened Summers

I recently spent 2 weeks sitting by my fathers bedside with my brother and sister ,until he Passed and moved on to the next life. Our family for many years have been practising Spiritualists. hopefully he is now in the Happy Hunting Ground as his spirit guide was a Native American Indian.
I wrote this Music on my IPAD during this time.
Love you dad see you in the next life.

Happy PIano Day!  (the 88th day of the year 03/28/2024)

This is a piano instrumental version of Ren and Chinchilla's "How to Be Me".  The original song is here: https://soundcloud.com/renmakesmusic/how-to-be-me-feat-chinchilla

The original has sparse instrumentation (simple strummed guitar chords and minimalist cello), but the added complexity of Ren and Chinchilla's codominant vocals make for a rich harmonic tapestry and a stimulating challenge to arrange a piano instrumental version.  For instance, one aspect of the song that I love is the use of the harmonic minor in a way that spans both a haunting classical (almost Chopinesque) sound as well as a soulful Jazz sound.  The raison d'etre of the harmonic minor is the V - i resolution. In early takes I settled on extending some of the V - i resolutions using a dom7flat9, which seemed to enhance the haunting classical feel and simultaneously felt in line with Ren's love of diminished chords (e.g., the diminished arpeggio in the Intro of "Hi Ren" which is arguably in fact a dom7flat9).  But then when listening back I noticed that in some places this chord extension did not mesh with the vocal harmonies and a dom7sharp9 a.k.a. the "Jimi Hendrix chord" sounded better).  This is just one example of the intricacies of jamming along with Ren's music.

Part of my motivation for posting this piano arrangement was the idea that Ren's music has enough complexity to stand on its own as instrumental music.  I was delighted when, later that day, Ren posted his first piano instrumental on youtube, a beautiful piece of modern classical music https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqq3VcwPGseErHUa0-xLInQ

Original lyrics (not too complicated 😜) by kavvka:

Gdzie serca splecione w skowronkach?

Jasieńku, Jasieńku czemuś ty zły na mnie?
Jam Ci to życie chciała ułożyć jak w niebie.
Dlaczegoś, dlaczegoś mnie zostawił dla niej?
Jam Ci to chciała jeno wyjść za ciebie.

Oj dana,
oj dana,
oj dana

English translation:

Where our hearts bounded in skylarks melody?

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny why are you mad at me?
I wanted this life maked into heaven.
Why, oh why you left me for her
I only wanted to be your wife 

Oh dah-nah
oh dah-nah
oh dah-nah

Repeat.

Lyrics:  Obfuscated
Obfuscated, obfuscated
You make things unclear, You make things obscure,
Obfuscated, You confuse me
Obfuscated,  i’m perplexed how You make things complex, 
when you hide the truth when you bend the truth

obfuscated
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Obfuscated,
What you hide from the light is concealing
Deliberate misleading is deceiving
beguile Deceit, mislead, cheat, make  believe

Obfuscated,
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Put in the shadows out of the light
In the fog, there’s no clear sight
In dirty water, it’s dark, you don’t see me
The answer is foggy, the message is misty

Obfuscated     
web of lies, in disguise - web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies
Obfuscated     
duplicity
double identity,  who do I trust
one or  none

Let’s face it, you know it
With a good sauce, you will eat it
Let’s face it, you know it
With the right words, you’ll believe it
Let’s face it, you know it
With a nice story you’ll  Buy it
If you want to believe it 
you won’t fight it

Lyrics:

In my mind
I created a world 
We’re safe and sound

Carnival and cotton candy
When you’re sad, it's kinda handy

There’s magic everywhere 
What kind of trickery is that? 
There’s a rabbit in a hat!

Carnival and cotton candy 
We're not sad
We’re fine and dandy

Around we go and up and down 
Around we go and up and down we go
(Around we go and up and down) 
(Around we go and up and down)

When you need to laugh 
more than you already do 
Ha ha, hoo hoo

Just think of me
and my funny looking face
and that way
we might get through these days

Stop by anytime
my ice cream parlour is always open 
for business and for you

Carnival and cotton candy 
Maybe on a beach
soft warm and sandy

(Now would you like that?)

Around we go and up and down 
Around we go and up and down
(Around we go and up and down) 
(Around we go and up and down)

You’re the funniest boy I know 
Don’t go, don’t go
Now you’re the funniest boy I know 
Don’t go, don’t go

Carnival and cotton candy, hmm..

The amoral mantle

When I was little, my parents divorced and we moved with my mother to the other side of the world. My parents always stayed on good terms, and we could call and write, so it wasn't like he had died or anything - but suddenly our father was just... gone from our everyday world. Over the decades, we have been able to catch up every couple of years or so, but parting each time always feels like losing him all over again, and no matter how old I get, that little girl inside me rises to the surface, re-living the confusion, hurt and loss. 

A few years ago, my father showed me a poem that little girl had written and sent to him during those first few years apart:
"I miss you like the pages of a book
I miss you like the shadow of a lion
I miss you like a bird up a flyin'
But when I think of you the sun shines through my tears"


SONG LYRICS:

Like the pages of a book you told me stories
Like the shadow of a lion you made me feel strong by your side
Like a bird up a flyin' in the sky you gave me fearlessness of heights
 
I miss you (I wish, wish you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through 

Like a step upon the footpath, you showed me how to get by - one foot in front of the other
Like a hug from someone special you gave me comfort when I was frightened
And like nothing else in this world you gave me endless, boundless love

I miss you (I wish, wish  you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through

I Miss You (a cappella)
