O-Boisterous Hibernation

Il y a des carnets
Et des mots égarés
Tout au fond des tiroirs
Et qu'on n'relit jamais
Parce qu'on est en retard
Et qu'y a toujours quelqu'un
Dont il faut prendre soin
Et ce quelqu'un, c'est jamais soi.

Dans la frileuse Flandre,
Sous les chênes et les hêtres,
Il y a ce tas de cendre
Après un feu de fête.
Au milieu, des canettes,
Des souv'nirs jetés là
Qu'on ramass' les yeux las
Pour les trier plus tard, peut-être.

Alors on compte sur ses doigts.
Un' seul' main suffit quand on s'dit :
Pour qui je compte vraiment ?

Les glacières dans le coffre,
La guitare dans sa housse,
On se serre un peu fort.
Un dernier regard pour
Les lits de mousse tassée,
Et les arbres muets
Mêm' quand l' bûch'ron les couche.
Et chacun r'part de son côté.

Alors on compte sur ses doigts.
Un' seul' main suffit quand on s'dit:
Pour qui je compte vraiment ?

Et puis quand la clairière,
S'éclaircit plus encore,
Qu'on sait par cœur le bois,
Ses pièges, ses réconforts,
Assis sur les souches
On se parle à soi-même
En dénombrant ses doigts.
On se demande : Qui m'aime ? Qui m'aime ?
Et une seule main suffit. 

For whom I count on

There are notebooks
And lost words
At the bottom of drawers
That we never reread
Because we're late
And there's always someone
We have to take care of
And that someone is never ourselves.

In chilly Flanders,
Under the oak and beech trees,
There is a pile of ashes
After a festive bonfire.
In the middle, cans,
Memories thrown away
That we pick up with weary eyes
To sort through later, perhaps.

So we count on our fingers.
One hand is enough when we ask ourselves:
Who do I really count on?

The coolers in the trunk,
The guitar in its case,
We hug a little tighter.
One last look at
The beds of packed moss,
And the silent trees
Even when the lumberjack cuts them down.
And everyone goes their separate ways.

So we count on our fingers.
One hand is enough when we say to ourselves:
Who do I really count on?

And then when the clearing
Grows even brighter,
When we know the woods by heart,
Its traps, its comforts,
Sitting on the stumps
We talk to ourselves
Counting our fingers.
We ask ourselves: Who loves me? Who loves me?
And one hand is enough.

Pour qui je compte. avec Philippe J

Professor Pezhman Mosleh – Iranian Composer – Poet – Writer / Cinema Philosopher and scholar in music history
Professor Pezhman Mosleh is the first person in is a pioneer in Iranian neo romanticism style. And according to SABC News (South African Broadcasting Corporation) he is inspired by Beethoven and Chopin in composing music. The Nelson Mandela World Foundation also recognized his dedication to Mandela, which Nelson Mandela himself had heard, and honored Professor Mosleh for his “cultural contribution to promoting peace and raising global awareness.” This work was also published on the website of the famous European newspaper, Le Monde.
According to the Iranian Cinema Press Agency, Pezhman Mosleh is a musician who intertwines philosophy with music.
The world’s youngest pianist, four-year-old Ava Sadeghipour, is a student of Professor Mosleh.
Comments:
Dr. Irvin David Yalom, one of the most prominent intellectual figures in the world and one of the most influential psychiatrists and authors of the 20th and 21st centuries, has written about Professor Pezhman Mosleh: 
"I've received many tributes but none touched me as yours did. You are both a musician and a fine poet. An eminent Iranian composer, Pezhman Mosleh, has honored me with this gift."  
Professor Rebecca Goldstein, a renowned philosopher and author and winner of the National Humanities Medal in the United States, has also spoken in a note about the beauty of the union of philosophy and music in Professor Mosleh’s work:

Mosleh is the only Iranian artist whose works have been described by media outlets such as SABC News as inspired by Chopin and Beethoven; yet, they believe that what pulses through his melodies is not merely a Western legacy—these works are deeply intertwined with the roots of Iran.
This mysterious interweaving of the subtlety of Western thought and the warmth of the Eastern soul is the very unique essence that sets Mosleh’s art apart from others.

Thank you for listening.

Breath of Silence

here comes the last of the three works on ‘retrospective future’.

background: as alarming as the scenarios are that scientists predict for the year 2100 if there is no rapid change in the way we treat our environment, this future still feels like abstract sci-fi, just beyond our imagination – more than twice as far away as the year 2001 was when kubrick's ‘a space odyssey’ came out.

but then, we watch our granddaughter, who just turned three, riding her scooter, screaming with joy. we realize how incredibly quickly time has passed since we were her age. and we have to think that in 2100, she will be only slightly older than we are today. and suddenly, 2100 becomes just one heartbeat away, an infinitely sad one.

I wrote 'scooting aleece' which originally dealt with a wild friend of us 40 years ago and we loved singing it at our all-night parties for two, albeit with different lyrics. recently, I rewrote the lyrics as a dedication to our granddaughter for the reasons mentioned above. to her and to all other kids her age.

while working on the AI vocals for the original 4/4 arrangement, for some reason I kept hearing a 3/4 beat in my head, which completely turned the entire compositional concept on its head. so, after creating the first version, which was faithful to the original, I created a second one that was completely different. and because it also featured a vocal premiere, I’d like to share this second version first. the first one will come later, if anyone is interested.

Windy hair, sunny beams in the air
There is no better free
Endless now, every moment a wow
Feeling all you see

Life’s a dance, every turn full of news
Life’s a grand carousel
Days as nights, time’s a far-away thing
There’s no end, little belle
All your world’s just well

Scooting Aleece
Life’s a big ease
Scooting Aleece
Until one day
They gonna take 
Your smile away

We all know, we are burning your world
Making bucks of fire
Drown your dreams in the floods of our greed 
Stocks will rise ever higher

We’ll be gone, long ago, like this song
Just a mote in time
You’ll still there, bear it all along
Have to pay for our crimes

Scooting Aleece
Life’s a big ease
Scooting Aleece 
Until one day
They gonna take 
Your smile away

Scooting Aleece
we wish we could freeze
Scooting Aleece 
This happy day
They couldn’t take
Your smile away

Scooting Aleece
Fly with the bees
Scooting Aleece
Dance under trees
Scooting Aleece
All days like these

Scooting Aleece

Seven years ago, Oddrun and I released a beautiful collaboration titled “Smile” — a heartfelt reinterpretation of the timeless theme from Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times (1936) 🎬.  Born from a melody that once underscored silent emotions on screen, our version gave it a new voice — tender, human, and full of light.  For some reason, it never made its way to my SoundCloud page… until now. It feels like the right moment to share this piece again — a little fragment of beauty we both cherished.
 I hope it touches you as it once touched us. ✨

Smile: A Charles(music) & Oddrun(vocal) Collaboration

I hope this song reaches your heart. 
Thank you so much for listening.

This is an original track.
I recorded the piano myself. Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花), a singing voice synthesizer.

The lyrics are as follows:
静かな月夜に包まれていた
眠れない夜を許した心

夜明けが来れば全てが消える　
最後に残した言葉は『ありがとう』

それが君の最後の言葉なら
僕はずっとこのまま忘れない
まだ心は温もりを感じていた
夢を続かせて　もう少しそばに

時が進む速さを知った
気がつけば朝を迎えて歩き出す

見つめ合った瞳は優しくて
もっと先の未来を信じてた
僕だけは何も見えずただ未来を思った
『愛してる』それさえも言えず

それが僕の最後の言葉なら
君はきっと優しく笑っただろう
そしてきっと僕らの心には
そんな恋の最後を告げてくれただろう



（English Translation ）
Wrapped in the quiet moonlit night,
My heart forgave the sleepless hours.

When dawn arrives, all will fade away—
The final words I left were “thank you.”

If those were your last words to me,
I’ll never forget them, not ever.
My heart still felt your gentle warmth,
Hoping the dream could last—just a little longer.

I learned how fast time can move;
Before I knew it, morning came, and I began to walk again.

Your eyes, when they met mine, were so kind—
We believed in a future far ahead.
Only I stood there, unable to see,
Thinking of the future, unable to say “I love you.”

If those were my final words to you,
You would have smiled so softly.
And perhaps, within our hearts,
That was how our love quietly came to an end.

Lyrics
Well if love’s just a word that you heard 
There’d be no need to be scared of a word
But when down and you’re so solo down
You gotta fly to make someone your ground

What if hope’s just a smile that you show
Has every new path got a chance to be alone
Where I was scared now I’m feeling brave
You’re not the only one that we saved

Dream…I don’t dream anymore
Feel…Just like I’ve felt before 
and before and before

When your trust’s just a must to feel real
Can an empty bubble only dream to heal

Dream…I don’t dream anymore
Feel…Just like I’ve felt before
Seeing…People dying to be saved
Believing…That no good will come from grace 
Yeah no good can come from grace

Are you ready 
For your face to fit the place
To find a mind 
To hide inside 
Of that human race
But I’m still waiting 
For your fate to turn to faith
But is it fair 
To stop the race 
Before you start the chase

So how do you dream 
Cos I don’t dream anymore
How do you feel 
When you’ve felt it all before
What’s worth seeing 
If a worth less can’t be saved
No point believing  
Are you still holding out for faith
You’re telling me you’re giving me love for real
And hope I learn to trust the faith you deal
We know our dreams are bullets hidden inside our sleep
So it’s up to us to bleed the love we need
But you keep telling me you’re giving me love for real
And hope I learn to trust the faith we deal
We know our dreams are bullets hidden inside of sleep
So it’s up to us to bleed the love we need
It’s up to us to bleed the love we need 

But is it love that we need
Or just hope that we can feel
Is it love that we all find
Or just echoes lost inside
Is it love we must believe
An empty heart still has to breathe
So is it love we all need to find
Or is it just echoes lost deep inside
Are we just echoes deep inside
Are we just echoes lost inside


Love echoes
