I want Jesus to walk with me.
I want Jesus to walk with me.
All along my pilgrim journey,
I want Jesus to walk with me.

In my trials Lord, walk with me.
In my trials Lord, walk with me.
When the shades of life are falling,
I want Jesus to walk with me.

In my sorrows, Lord, walk with me.
In my sorrows, Lord, walk with me.
When my heart within me is breaking,
I want Jesus to walk with me.

I want Jesus to walk with me Instrumental Version 5

Frederic Chopin Ballade no. 4 in F minor

"Rain Has Fallen All The Day" is a marvelous poem by James Joyce. 
Some time ago http://soundcloud.com/mementoaeterna and I had the idea to create a song from it ... and it was a wonderful journey: first we shared our impressions about the various meanings, atmosphere and interpretations of this poem. She is so sensitive, and she has the gift of noticing the extraordinary where others just see the ordinary ... it has been pure pleasure! Once we had an idea of the situation and all layers of meaning the music came out of nowhere. We haven't been in a hurry, hence we allowed ourself more sweet anticipation by simply not finalizing the last percent of work ... but NOW I am incredibly proud to present our collab :-) 

In case you have not listened to her music yet ... wow, than you have some incredible nice experience in front of you! By the way, she is also one of the smartest, nicest, funniest and most gifted persons I have met ... so what are you doing here ... hurry, and go here: http://soundcloud.com/mementoaeterna

Rain Has Fallen All The Day 
=================
Rain has fallen all the day. 
O come among the laden trees: 
The leaves lie thick upon the way 
Of memories. 

Staying a little by the way 
Of memories shall we depart. 
Come, my beloved, where I may 
Speak to your heart.

Rain Has Fallen All The Day (after poem from James Joyce)

There truly is no "easy" Chopin and this one is deceptively so. Though I consider this to be one of his most approachable pieces, it is deceptively difficult to interpret as effectively as you might want in the end. I call this his little waltz in A minor, it is always fascinating to see that every pianist seems to have their own twist on interpretation. However I see this as one of his last and most mature works, this was written when Chopin was nearing his last days and he never published it. This piece is by definition melancholic and bittersweet throughout, it frolics between major and minor tonalities and is heavily ornamented. I tend to disagree with faster tempos it is sometimes interpreted in as this waltz is something you could envision to be as one last dance in an empty, desolate ballroom with the love of your life before parting ways forever (such as Chopin parting ways with his music and this earth himself).
