To Go That Extra Mile

i've been getting myself sidetracked
by the little things in life
making mountains out of molehills
tossing turning through the night

i got an itch that just needs scratching
all my bugs i have to bare
i keep getting tunnel vision
and think no one really cares

but i'm thankful i have friends
who help me keep my feet on the ground
and who offer me advice
that is both wise and profound

but when i'm left to my own thoughts
i keep waking sleeping dogs
rubbing salt into my old wounds
always making matters worse


i am sorry i was short with you
i've got too much on my mind
trying to get from a to z
when i don't have the time

i need to have a break from work
and spend more time with you
take the dog out for a walk
and run the kids to school

well you know i could start a fight
in an empty room
and baby baby baby baby
so could you

but you can make me laugh
and you can make me smile
you give me the strength
to go that extra mile

To Go That Extra Mile

The opening song for main city, Tamburin.
I wanted this as of welcoming the player to the city, so used some positive and energetic themes. The song ends in a little waltz. :)

Enjoy!

The Wrong Direction

Evening Breeze

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils

Pat Metheny - Antonia

Fantasia Campanella

Another Pat Metheny tune from the Question and Answer album. This is originally a guitar trio arrangement. I tried to stay as close to the original as possible. It was surprising to me how complete the trio arrangement was. It wasnt much of a strech to transcribe it for the string quartet.

'Round Midnight (Thelonious Monk)

"Unless you love, your life will flash before you."

-Terrence Malick, The Tree Of Life

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.
