Desiderium

Oh WOW! Over 2000 plays of this very personal track. To think I was hesitant to even post it... Thank you so much! ❤️

In our lives, we are granted the opportunity to witness the departure of our loved ones. Some depart through doors, never to return, yet still exist somewhere. Others leave suddenly, unexpectedly. Yet some depart when we are somewhat prepared, for their age predisposes them to it. However, there are also departures more challenging... when we observe the tree of the mind of a beloved, from which memories' leaves fall, and even the freshest, youngest cannot hold on to it. We cannot help, we can only watch how they fall...

Composing this little piece was very personal. It was combined with the realization of a fact from my immediate surroundings. I left all imperfections of my playing because of how I felt at that moment. It wasn't an improvisation, it was an interpretation of a theme that I've developed few minutes earlier.

One of the true pleasures of living in a northern country is the occasional feeling of the warmth of the winter sun on your face. There's a word for this --apricity. A brief burst of apricity warms both the body and the spirit.

---- Paroles :

J'y ai bien pensé, 
J'y ai trop pensé, 
Et je t’avoue, 
Toujours figé, 
J’peux pas bouger. 
J'me suis trompé.

Faut recommencer, 
Je dois oser,
M’y aventurer,
Ça me rend fou. 
C’était parfait.

Et tu me manques, 
Tu me manques, 
Tu me manques.
Je t’en prie, Entends-moi, 
Est-ce que t’es là?

Alors bien sûr,
Je fais des ratures,
Alors bien sûr,
Je fais ça me rassure. 
Alors bien sûr,
Y'a ton nom sur les murs. 
Alors bien sûr.

J’ai regardé,
De l'autre côté, 
C’est encore flou. 
Mon cœur bloqué, 
Vide, à l’arrêt,
Tu me manques.

J'fais semblant d'effacer, 
Tes mots bien abîmés, 
Les bateaux amarrés, 
Les traces sur la jetée.

Des chapitres entiers,
Des feuilles blanches déchirées, 
Je fais bien attention,
De tous les terminer.

L'écume revient toujours, 
Toujours aussi salée,
J'ai mal à en crever,
Je ne sais plus où aller.

Alors bien sûr,
Je fais des ratures,
Alors bien sûr,
Je fais ça me rassure. 
Alors bien sûr,
Y'a ton nom sur les murs, 
Alors bien sûr.

Tu me manques,
Tu me manques,
Tu me manques.
Je t’en prie, Entends-moi, 
Est-ce que t’es là?

Je ne cesse de rêver, 
Mon coeur est appelé, 
Par je ne sais quelle idée, 
De te retrouver.

Et puis je vais m'asseoir,
Je ne sais plus y voir,
Je sais que je sais pourtant,
Mais ne veux pas savoir.

Et un jour sur l'autoroute,
Mes pensées dans le rétroviseur, 
Ont vu les larmes de ton cœur, 
Mes yeux vagabondaient.
J'ai prié que ce soit l'été,
Alors que la neige inondait, 
Chaque parcelle de vérité, 
Chaque parcelle de vérité...

Tu me manques, 
Tu me manques, 
Tu me manques.

A solo viola player sparks magic from her bow when she plays.

This is the first release from a collection I am working on, called "The Magical Instruments Suite".

In collaboration with Francess Harris. She played the piano composition and I did the composition of the orchestral arrangement. Thank you for listening and enjoy. Any comment is appreciated always.

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.
AI music generation detector: https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker
I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.
