Live Reflexion#009

It's all about constant change, both in life and in music. As for the music, the original goal was to make use of panning to illustrate the "walking on by" at the beginning and end of the song. The second phase was creating a fuller sound without having various parts drowned out, or in some way, channel my inner Phil Spector.

The finale is the sound of footsteps walking by and then the shutting of the door as the song ends. End of a relationship. End of the song.

Maybe the best relationship advise I can give is: if you love someone, set them free ... don't quote me, quote Sting. :-) This is sort of my "resigned to my fate" version. I've been on both sides of that fence. I've walked away knowing it wasn't going to work out (long term). Sadly, I've been on the other side knowing the pain of love lost. But in the end, I didn't really lose anything that was mine to lose. I could go on and talk about how a true love is neither possessive nor jealous but hopefully, the song makes that point clear.

Just Walk On By
----------------------
Just walk -- walk on by
No need to tell me another lie
Keep it to yourself (I tell you)
Just walk on by ...

That's what I said -- keep on walking
You don't need to do any more talking
What you say just don't matter
Just walk on by ...

[Solo]

You say that you love me, ain't that right?
So where were you all last night?
He he! That really don't matter
Just walk on by ...

So many years, I've been holding on
Now you don't want to say: "So long."
Well, you know I hate long good byes, so
Just walk on by ...

[final solo]

[footsteps as she leaves and shuts the door
thus closure to the song and the relationship]

... you know I hate long good byes.

A Pirates Life

There I was just standing, with my finger in my mouth
Hoping for the best, although my luck had just gone South
The 'boy stood on the burning deck' had nothing against me
It was quite a poor decision, to pursue a life at sea
The Captain came down very hard, he was not an easy man
 ' What type of ruffian pollutes the earth with such a scurvy plan' 
It was not me, who did this thing,  my clement Captain bold 
I did not shoot that man and this is definitely not my gold

I could have been so far away, so far away from here
The thought of it now fills my heart and starts a manly tear
My sweetheart she encouraged me to 'live an honest life'
But I knew for sure that I'd gone wrong when they called me Jack the Knife
 

'Lets keelhaul him',
'we'll hang him high',
'make him walk the plank'
None of which appealed to me at all, if I'm being frank
A pirates life seemed full of fun, at least it did to me
I didn't do it, I've been framed, I'm a good man honestly

Du zerstörst die Stille nicht


Ich liebe dich, weil du mich mit der Stille sprechen lässt.
Du zerstörst die Stille nicht durch hohle Worte.
Und wenn du die Stille störst, ist es angenehm.
Die Stille ist wunderbar. Im Dunkel der Stille der Mitternacht erscheinen die Engel.
Du bist so fern und doch so nah.
Im Klang der Stille entsteht eine Symphonie.
Eine Symphonie der Seelen.
Voll von lieblichem Klang und ruhigem Geist.
Die Stille erzählt von einer längst vergangenen Zeit und von einer fernen kommenden Zeit.
Der Zeit der Wunder.


You Don't disturb the Silence

I love you because you let me speak with silence.
You don't disturb the silence with hollow words.
And if you disturb the silence it is pleasent.
The silence is wonderful. In the darkness of midnight silence, angels appear.
You are so far away and yet so near.
In the sound of silence, a symphony arises.
A symphony of souls.
Full of sweet sound and calm spirit.
The silence tells of a long-gone time and a distant time to come.
The time of miracles.

Music & Lyrics: Eddy Mango

I JUST WANT TO

Someday I feel bad, someday I feel good.
Now I´m on my way, feeling in the mood.
Now I want to sing, once again I feel.
I feel good inside on this happy day. ( 2 )

I just want to walk right on and on...
Yes I feel so strong, so strong, so strong...
something happened me today, today...
Happy all the way......today!!
I just want to walk right on and on...
Yes I feel so strong, so strong, so strong...
Something happened me today, today...
Happy all the way....today!!

Happy all the way on my lucky day,
and I feel so strong, I feel good today.
After pain and sorrow I can feel tomorrow,
now I can believe, life is good to me. ( 2 )


Yesterday I felt so bad and cried...
I wanted to get down and die...
I am so happy that I didn´t do it...
I feel fine once again. ( 2 )
