Wait

To have a muse, in person or in spirit, is an artist's greatest yet most fickle gift. This closes the loop, completing a set of 3.

Oliver Sadie - The Muse II (Zefora's Vocal Version)

where the winds lay, 
afar then new....
a dancing cloud could take me away 
...... across a room
 a shadow that shapes life...
mountain meadows melt in me....
as smoke rings sing and dance 
they mention another romance!
....across a room  
eyes that hide a love 
hanging on conjured words
sending follies blessed as gifts
to know......
the hollow man 
could be filled 
with light and song.....

a single word that could light a room, 
hovers close to the melting moon
......to amuse you!

Finding Stars

Ochre Threads

"And some there be who no memorial have;
Who perished are as though they’d never been.
For our tomorrows their today they gave,
And simply asked that in our hearts they'd live.
We heed their call and pledge ourselves again,
At dusk and dawn - we will remember them!"

- extract from A Poem for Remembrance Day by Charles Henrywood

Composed, performed and produced by Oliver Sadie.

Nocturne Op 9 No. 2 by Fredric Chopin

This took me a good 3 months to finish. When I started, I never really believed I would finish it. Too much work! But I really love the original song. How do you write something like that??? Insane.

Enjoy :)

Because - The Beatles

For what we have but are not near,
for what we want but cannot have,
for absence of the closest
and longing for the impossible.

Oliver Sadie — To Find Peace

MOSAIC from 'Love, Marilyn'

Based on the idea of an empty drawing room at night – except, that is, for the piano. It holds within its wood and strings snatches of music, harmonics and melodies that others have played on it… Any ideas for better names gratefully accepted.
The instrument used is a Viennese double strung piano – a very rare and extremely fragile instrument.

Oliver Sadie — Love

Anthony Ingle & Philip Sheppard improvising live at Impropera - the improvised opera cabaret show at Kings Place. 
This is a rough field recording on an audience member's iPhone...
The audience suggested variations on La Vie En Rose in the style of Mozart & Gershwin - this was on the fly, so be gentle!

The Stone Maiden

Cello arrangement of the early 19th century Scottish Folk Song, Parcel of Rogues in a Nation (based on the poem by Robert Burns - 1791).


(The song's lyrics are in Lowlands Scots which is similar in origin but separate from English. Burns was a very literate and well-educated man and wrote both in English and Scots.)

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory;
Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,
Sae fam'd in martial story.
Now Sark rins over Solway sands,
An' Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England's province stands-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro' many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor's wages.
The English stell we could disdain,
Secure in valour's station;
But English gold has been our bane-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

O would, ere I had seen the day
That Treason thus could sell us,
My auld grey head had lien in clay,
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace!
But pith and power, till my last hour,
I'll mak this declaration;
We're bought and sold for English gold-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation
