Original song by Radiohead

Lyrics:
When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape
my videotape

When Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red blue green
Red blue green

You are my centre when I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face

No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

Videotape (live cover, orig. song by Radiohead)

Sky Is The Limit

retour au chaos

lets try

Where does love go? we seem to be born with a natural love for others..color blind..culture blind..and then we make teams/chose sides/wear uniforms. and lose empathy/common sense..
We need to remember the instinctual love and bond we have for and with each other if we hope to overcome the bombardment of self serving false narratives we get everyday on social media/news/political speeches ...


lyrics

went to bed last night and woke up in a dream
don't recall the details but it seemed so real
I was standing in a dark room in a cold wet sweat
not a sound to be heard, not a touch to be felt
and I thought to myself as I stood there alone
this must be earth and I was chilled to the bone

then I saw a blue light shimmering up ahead
I could see it was warm and I could feel it was strong
and I knew it had the power to push back the night
If I could only find a way to give it a chance
the light was the love trapped deep inside me
I had to find a way to set it free
the more I thought about it, the more I looked inside
I realized the key was me


now I stand in the morning sun but I am still cold and wet
surrounded by some many like me looking for the light
trying to find a way to push back the night

is the love that we seek just a blue light in a dream
or is it buried in our hearts waiting to be freed
we made it captive to our fears
we starved it with our greed
it strains to break the chains that we shackled to its feet

love is something we're all born with
it's ours to use or lose
it just gets hidden by our weakness and fear
trust in yourself and in all those around you
let the light shine bright and push back the night

where does the love go??

World In Change * Instrumental

(composed 2018, revised 2022)

Feathers Taking Flight is a flute and piano work centred on the importance of taking or maintaining perspective, particularly after facing feelings of failure, confusion or regret.

The work emphasises the uniqueness of harmonics and beauty of modality that the flute can bring to light, conveying links to post-minimalism. It is vital as humans to realise where we are in the present moment and the true potential we have as individuals, for as soon as we erase self-deprecation and embody self-worth: we soar.

Timing: ~ 4 minutes

Dedicated to Victoria Fouet and Margaret Crawford: two flute teachers integral to my artistic journey, both as a flautist and composer.

*This work won the 2022-23 Leslie Barklamb Flute Composition Competition for the Intermediate Piece Division (18 Years & younger performers), making it the set piece for this section in the annual Leslie Barklamb Scholarship for its 50th Anniversary Competition. It was selected and commissioned by the Victorian Flute Guild and Melbourne Composers’ League.
