Beautiful. It sounds so "Musical Theatre" (that's a compliment from me!) that I think it would lend itself very effectively to lyrics.

Very celtic, uplifting mood - lovely arrangement!

Melody, counter melody, and orchestration are sublime, BRAVO!

Music beautifully composed! Good opening tune before the rave kicks off! LOL

wonderful job ...... fantastic music I like!

nice atmosphere ....Brava!!!-----☼  :)"

I am so excited about collaborating with Enso. Enso has the voice of an angel and is immensely talented. She has taken this song to new heights of which I could only dream. Thank you, Enso!

In attempting to create a little more Celestial Harmonics,
I came up with something that seemed as if 
it must have been evoked from a tune far back in my past.
After about a week or so, it dawned on me that it felt a lot like:

Jaques Offenbach's
Barcarolle: Les contes d'Hoffman:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7czptgEvvU

So, I began the track with my version on a short homage to his work.
However,  his work was in 6/8,
while mine was hanging out in 4/4.

But then...So What...Right?

Barcarolle Céleste

There is so much going on in our world today and we have no idea how it is going to fall. It was hard enough just thinking about America and how close we are to losing our way of life because we weren't paying enough attention to what our so-called leaders were doing to us. But now it encompasses so much more of the world and so many more people are hurting - losing more than just their way of life. They are losing family and friends, their homes, their culture and are fleeing for their lives. I can do nothing to help them. But they have shown us what it means to fight for your country. Maybe ignorant Americans can learn something from them instead of wrapping themselves in silly flag costumes and chanting "Lock her up." How can there be a sense of pride in our country when half of us wants to stop teachers from from educating students about the reality of our history because white students might be uncomfortable learning about how racist we have been. We have plenty of reasons to feel sorrow but we don't have time to sit and cry about it.

No Time For Sorrow

Why Deberly? Because sometimes I get it wrong. 
Once upon a time during my early elementary school days I was being interviewed on a TV station.  The interview went something like this:
Interviewer:  And your name is..............
Me: (in a very quiet voice) Debbie
Interviewer: Beverly?
Me: (in a much louder and somewhat offended voice) NO!! DEBERLY!!
I said my own name incorrectly on TV and it has been a little joke ever since. 
Sigh.

Deberly Takes A Spin

Piano: Debra Buesking. Voice:  Oddrun Eikli.
cover design: Debra

Written in 1923, "What'll I Do" is clearly autobiographical. In this tender and yearning song Berlin wonders how he can go on without his love. Part of "The Great American Songbook"

Have you visited Debra Buesking's site https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking and heard her beautiful and perfect version of "What`ll I Do"? She has an expression that does not need words or a vocal to tell a story. So pure and unique is Debra`s artistic expression. I am very grateful for this collaboration and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the joy in this musical moment. Thank you dear Debbie for the JOY.

What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?
What'll I do?
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true

What ´ll I Do. Debra Buesking and Oddrun Eikli

Lyrics

We’re at the appointment
It’s a Saturday morning
It’s not that important
It’s not like I’m dying
As the man takes me through
what I need to know
I look over to you
You raise your eyebrows

Cos you said

If you want me to be there
I will be there
If you need me to be there
I will be there

We go on a trip
we’d rather not go
maybe I don’t mind
as much as you do
But you come along
and you make them laugh
They are glad that you’re there
They feel better about us

Cos you said

If you want me to be there
I will be there
If you need me to be there
I will be there
(repeat)

And we don’t mind feasting on scraps
Cos the scraps are all we got
You can’t always say yes
so I am careful when I ask
We found a way to make it through
a path we can both hold to
And at the end of every day
You will come home to me
And at the end of every day
You will come home to me

We’re at the appointment
it’s a week day morning
It’s not that important
It’s not like you’re dying
Then the man says your name
Calls you out of the room
And now I’m alone
I feel my eyes close

Cos I said

If you want me to be there
I will be there
If you need me to be there
I will be there
(repeat)

Be There
