aww, this is so lovely, beautiful guitar <3 'an email, text or instagram to know that you're alive' wow, brilliant lyric art here :)

Beautifully sung and wonderful song Richard

Gorgeous, a musical comfort blanket 👌😊

What a lovely instrumental break.  Really, the whole thing is beautiful.

Very fine this one, sometimes chord progression reminds me of some Pink Floyd acoustic, but whole atmosphere is gorgeous!

💗You're a "gift"-smiling voices from God, so beautiful...guitar also great. Thanks🙏

A refreshing, feel-good song that leaves you with a smile! Because life is just a story :)

QUELLE VIE JE VIS

J’ai bien souffert, je peux le dire
Une misère, voire même pire.
De la méfiance en l’être humain
Ce manque de chance quand çà vous tient.

Les tromperies, fruits du hasard,
Ont faient ma vie rester en noir.
Des coups bien durs, d’autres assez bas,
Font les blessures qui n’guérissent pas,

J’dis plus mon âge, il est certain,
Nombreuses pages, un long chemin.
Il reste encore pour qui le veux
D’ici ma mort, des jours heureux.

Je ligne mes yeux au crayon noir,
Je fais d’mon mieux pour me faire voir
Si j’en ajoute, trop quelquefois
C’est que mes doutes sont toujours


Quelle vie je vis

Je vais m’écrire dans cette histoire,
Et même vous dire que quelque part,
Ce monde malsain où vivent les grands
Refuse ma main quand je leur tends,

Cherche couleurs, plutôt pastels,
Du chaud au cœur, y’a rien de tel,
Sur une palette à mélanger,
Je voudrais être du verbe « aimer ».

Quelle vie je vis

Toutes ces traces qui m’ont marquées,
Ont prises trop d’place dans mes pensées
Quand je regarde autour de moi,
Je sèche mes larmes pour pas qu’çà s’voit.

Tous mes espoirs sont restés vains
Rien que d’y croire me fait du bien.
Je cherche encore, je cherche toujours
Rien n’est plus fort que de l’amour.
Qu’ai-je bien pu faire pour être ainsi,
Sinon me taire et puis tant pis,

WHAT LIFE I LIVE

I have suffered well, I can say
A misery, even worse.
Mistrust in the human being
This lack of luck when it holds you.

Deception, the fruits of chance,
Have my life stay in black.
Very hard shots, others quite low,
Do wounds that do not weal,

I'm older, I'm sure,
Many pages, a long way.
It remains for who wants it
By my death, happy days.

I line my eyes in black pencil,
I do my best to make myself see
If I add, too much sometimes
That's because my doubts are always


What life I live

I will write myself in this story,
And even tell you that somewhere,
This unhealthy world where big people live
Refuse my hand when I give them,

Seeking colors, rather pastels,
From warm to heart, there's nothing like it,
On a palette to mix,
I would like to be of the verb "to love".

What life I live

All these traces that marked me,
Have taken up too much space in my thoughts
When I look around,
I dry my tears for not seeing it.

All my hopes were in vain
Just to believe it makes me feel good.
I'm still looking, I'm still looking
Nothing is stronger than love.
What could I have done to be so,
Otherwise shut up and then too bad,

QUELLE VIE, JE VIS (Vivre seul)

T H E J O U R N E Y

I want to take the journey
I need to meet your eye
I want to take the journey
Walk up into the sky

Watch the colours bleed out of the sky
Watch the mountains fall before my eye

Don’t want to find a shortcut
I need to feel my foot
Taking that first hardest and the longest
I want to feel my feet on every step

I want to take the journey...

Another Winter

Musta Vesi

Kaupungin kesä
Asvaltti hehkuu kuumaa
Tunnen että sulan
Helle minut huumaa
Liikenteen pauhu
Kaiken alleen peittää
Paitsi äänen veden, joka solisee
Solisee
Se solisee

Jatkuva kiire
Muurahaiset töihin rientää
Ootan vain lomaa
Maalla tahdon aikaa viettää
Ihmisvirta
Eteenpäin se vyöryy
Virtaa kuin joki
Joka solisee
Solisee 
Solisee

Musta vesi houkuttaa
Luvaten vilvoittaa
Kieltokyltti varoittaa
Täällä ei uida saa
Musta vesi tuijottaa
Hypnoosiin vaivuttaa
Tahdon virtaan sukeltaa
Sukeltaa
Kesätuuli
Ihollani polttaa
Ei varjopaikkaa
Kuumuus pääsee joka kolkkaan
Ja joki katsoo
Virta iskee silmää
Mua viettelee
Kuin adonis
Adonis
Adonis

Musta vesi houkuttaa
Luvaten vilvoittaa
Kieltokyltti varoittaa
Täällä ei uida saa
Musta vesi tuijottaa
Hypnoosiin vaivuttaa
Tahdon virtaan sukeltaa
Sukeltaa

Musta vesi houkuttaa
Luvaten vilvoittaa
Kieltokyltti varoittaa
Täällä ei uida saa
Musta vesi tuijottaa
Hypnoosiin vaivuttaa
Tahdon virtaan sukeltaa, sukeltaa

Based on the book Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris

Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival.

When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is not granted to Cilka: She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice? And where do the lines of morality lie for Cilka, who was send to Auschwitz when she was still a child?

In Siberia, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, including the unwanted attention of the guards. But when she meets a kind female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under brutal conditions.

Confronting death and terror daily, Cilka discovers a strength she never knew she had. And when she begins to tentatively form bonds and relationships in this harsh, new reality, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.

From child to woman, from woman to healer, Cilka's journey illuminates the resilience of the human spirit―and the will we have to survive.

It was only yesterday
I thought it was just us
Destined to stay hidden in the woods
I’d marveled at the prospect
Of there being more
But now we’ve found them do I trust them?
I’m not sure
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
Confiding in them could be the biggest
Mistake we’ll ever make
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
But something doesn’t feel right
About that leader in my bones

I have felt so hopeless
As if I can’t go on
And these people seem OK to me
Do you really think there’s something wrong?
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
And I’m willing to take that risk
Let’s leave it all to fate
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
It’s better than facing the enemy alone
Alone
Alone

Maybe I’m just being a little paranoid
But I can’t shake off this feeling, he’s someone to avoid
Let’s just take it one day at a time, see how things pan out
If you trust him then I’m willing to give him a chance
In spite of my doubt

Lyrics in Dutch and  under in English  : 

" Mijn wereld "

Ik neem je mee naar mijn wereld
Die soms koud is en soms kil
Waarin ik afstand neem, waarin ik hard ben
En soms niet praten wil
Met woorden kan ik niet zeggen
Wat mijn hartje zeggen wil
Dit liedje moet je voelen
Van dit liedje......word je stil

Mijn familie op deze wereld
Ze zijn koud en ze zijn kil
Ze nemen afstand willen niet praten
Sluiten me buiten, blijven stil
Met woorden kan ik niet zeggen
Wat mijn hartje zeggen wil
Dit liedje moet je voelen
Van dit liedje.....word je stil

Ooohooo luister goed hoe ik kan huilen
Niet met tranen, maar met dit liedje
Want mijn wereld is mijn wereld
Voor mij familie geldt dit niet.

=========================================

"My world"

I'm taking you to my world
Sometimes cold and sometimes cold
In which I distance myself, in which I am hard
And sometimes don't want to talk
I cannot say with words
What my heart wants to say
You should feel this song
This song ...... makes you silent

My family in this world
They are cold and they are chilly
They don't want to talk
Close me out, keep quiet
I cannot say with words
What my heart wants to say
You should feel this song
This song ..... makes you silent

Ooohooo listen carefully how I can cry
Not with tears, but with this song
Because my world is my world
This does not apply to my family.

Learning To Fly

A collaboration with Torbjørn Vagle and Jimmy Rivas.

I sent a demo of the song with the basic chord sequence to Torbjørn  and Jimmy in the hope they would consider joining me for another collaboration, Torbjørn to add his exceptional keyboards, Jimmy to write lyrics and provide his powerful and distinctive vocal, luckily for me they both agreed.

Torbjørn  and Jimmy’s contributions have lifted the song to a level way beyond my original demo, thanks very much for your outstanding work guys.

Triumph over adversity is the theme here, I think we can all relate.
