Nice full (almost orchestral) composition.

A circle song for the break-up, make-up, break-up loop. Acoustic guitar based. Kissing tears lead to a salty embrace … which always ends in tears. Full lyrics below. Get in touch if you are interested in licensing any lyrics:

You hold my hand I stroke your hair
You hold my hand I stroke your hair
The sun rays play with dust in the air
You hold my hand I stroke your hair

We sit on my bed in the pale afternoon
We sit on my bed in my bedroom
I know you’ll be leaving me, leaving me soon
I know you’ll be leaving me, leaving me soon

You kiss the tears as they roll down my face
Kissing tears turns into salty embrace
Salty embrace always ends in tears
Tears just lead to kisses on the face

I touch your back as you turn away
I help you pack and ask you to stay
You won’t be back and won’t be swayed
I watch your back as you walk away

All old promises of youth
All hold faith with the truth
All told honest and naive
All so you wouldn’t leave

You kiss the tears as they roll down my face
Kissing tears turns into salty embrace
Salty embrace always ends in tears
Tears just lead to kisses on the face

================================
The phrase "perfect is the enemy of good" is an aphorism commonly attributed to Voltaire in 1770, but even he was apparently quoting an Italian proverb that had been around for a while.  It seemed to me to be a good idea for a song.  

Verse 1:
There was that short descriptions on page 195
It wasn’t really what I had intended to describe
And after many hours of working on the text
I gave up and decided that it was hopeless to expect
That I’d ever have the talent to do better than ok
I tossed that novel in the bin, there’s nothing more to say
It will forever go unread, I did the best I could
Perfect is the enemy of good

Chorus:
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy of good
If I could make it better don’t you think I would
If I say it’s not good enough, I hope it's understood
Perfect is the enemy of good

Verse 2:
Our partnership was based on love and trust and fun
But I was undecided, would she ever be the one
Was she what I wanted, was she a perfect fit
A goddess with golden hair and unrivalled wit
A libertine, a temptress, that lovely girl next door
I let her go, so I'd be free for whatever was in store
Learned a lot about loneliness, more than I really should
Perfect is the enemy of good

Bridge:
Nothing’s ever finished
Nothing’s ever done
Always trying, waiting
While the race is being run
Perfect is my enemy
It keeps me playing small
For all that I’ve attempted
There’s not much to show at all

Verse 3:
The novel I was writing spoke of sadness and regret
For a love I’d lost so long ago that I still can’t forget
With this song I’m hoping for some closure on my past
I’m trying hard - I hope I can redeem myself at last
You’ll probably never hear this song - it won’t pass the test
That just allows perfection - I give up on all the rest
But who knows maybe this time I’ll cut myself a break
And sing this song with all it’s flaws - it’s a chance that I should take
Not perfect but maybe the very best I could
Perfect is the enemy of good

Chorus:
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy of good
If I could make it better don’t you think I would
If I say it’s not good enough, I hope it's understood
Perfect is the enemy of good
Perfect is the enemy of good

Perfect is the Enemy of Good

Perfect Is The Enemy

Lyrics:

Peaceful mind, calm waves
Content serenity
Seclusion suits me, no storm takes me by surprise

It’s just a small thrill when the lights go dim
But a presence lights the room
I’ll just bite my tongue, but I’ll get my fill
When a smile lights up the room (2x)

(All trouble fades away when a brightness fills the room
My sorrow fades away when a light brightens the room
No grimness, spite or fear will take his brightness from the room
He smiles and teases, says: can’t take my lightness from the room) (repeat ad nauseam)

Dark Renaissance(Rock Version)

♫ Originally recorded in December 2003, "No More Worries" is a deeply personal piece that began after a difficult breakup. But as the lyrics unfolded, it became more than a reflection—it became a message of hope for anyone navigating emotional pain or living in quiet "prisons" of the heart. This is a song for those who understand without needing an explanation. You are not alone.

No More Worries

VARISONIK - Kiss the world

Alt rock with a bit of slide guitar thrown in.

Kiss The World

Let me start this by saying nothing lasts forever
We're just a momentary flash of life on a world that spins round
Cause this planet's a centrifuge and it rips us apart
We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
But all I see is people made of plasticine 

Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world

You can't stop this by praying, we can't change our DNA
We live under the same sky whether it's night or day 
And we'll all breathe the same air when there's nothing to say
We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
But let me tell you people dream imperfect dreams 

We seem to find it so easy to separate beauty from ugly
Naivety's deleted from enlightened minds

Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world
Kiss the world

I wanna kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the world
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the world
I wanna kiss

VARISONIK - Kiss The World

The flower song

 That moment when you were in the cinema,the lights went out and the screen went dark.... An 
angelic voice slowly penetrates you inside. Romantic,melancholic melodies of inspiration full of 
feeling strings fill the spaces and become important,often with the presence of a repetitive piano..... 
a journey full of atmosphere and changes accompanied by a heavenly voice ... angelic.

non lasciarmi cantare

..as observed at a nightclub once upon a time....the whistle is as he walks away...hands in pockets...feigning nonchalance. :)

Time to Time

Outside

This track was written in loving memory of my wife's sister, who we lost to suicide a few years back. It's a subject no one really wants to discuss but suicide prevention is a very important topic.
