I just composed this melody two days ago. Then I worked out this melody. I imagined someone walking barefoot on the beach. I can see the lonely footprints in the sand. Those lonely footprints are washed away by the waves ...

Lonely Footprints In The Sand (Demo Version)

We are the language.

This track is the result of collaboration with the wonderful vocalist Sar Araion, who brilliantly managed to convey the depth of the lyrics of the great Russian poet Arseny Tarkovsky

If only, as before 
I were proud, 
I would leave you forever, 
I would split my Kingdom in two.
 All the things I can never part with, 
all that is not worth effort.
I would say; you carry away 
with you a hundred promises, 
a hundred holidays, a hundred words. 
You can take them with you.
And to me there is only cold dawn, 
One hundred belated trams 
and one hundred raindrops 
on the tram tracks, 
A hundred alleys,
a hundred streets 
and a hundred 
drops of rain, 
running after me.

Если б, как прежде, я был горделив,
Я бы оставил тебя навсегда.
Всё, с чем расстаться нельзя ни за что,
Всё, с чем возиться не стоит труда, —
Надвое царство моё разделив.

Я бы сказал:
             — Ты уносишь с собой
Сто обещаний, сто праздников, сто
Слов. Это можешь с собой унести.

Мне остаётся холодный рассвет,
Сто запоздалых трамваев и сто
Капель дождя на трамвайном пути,
Сто переулков, сто улиц и сто
Капель дождя, побежавших вослед.

LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

You Promised Me - 2021 Mix

(c)2020 James Lawrence Nesser

The night a young man discovers he has fallen in love.  

Italia 12-String, Epiphone Casino, Epiphone Viola Bass, a couple of synth patches I made, virtual drums, and a Korg Nanopad.

"Ready To Fly"

The main motif is a 5-beat phrase, counting the rest at the end; so it keeps turning around in 4/4 time.

We are the language.
