Greetings to the great Burt Bacharach, Karen and Richard Carpenter who brought beauty in this world with their art. May they not close their ears, from where they are (Earth, Sky, Asgard or probably nowhere), while listening to this :).

A Dream I Could Fly (Badly)

Oh, I, decided I would grow a tree.
The finest tree there'd ever be, there'd be no finer tree to see.
Would you like to plant this tree with me?
And we can live our lives out in a dream. 

And I, decided I would take a look.
Past the shiny golden mountains and the babbling, singing, laughing brook.
I can show you pictures that I took. 
That show that I had no thing then, but luck. 

As the planet of blue is fading away.
My memories stuck in the past are fading to grey.
I was trapped behind your mirror for the longest time.
But now. 
I'm in space.

Oh, I, decided I would take a trip.
A trip into the stars upon a shiny, dreaming white spaceship.
There just isn't any way we'll slip. 
Up, on the ship created for this trip. 

But first, I thought that I might take a look.
I couldn't see the right hand for the constant rain of life's left hook. 
The length of time it seems I had mistook. 
The number of the pages in the book.

As the planet of blue is fading away.
My memories stuck in the past are fading to grey.
I was trapped behind your mirror for the longest time.
But now. 
I'm in space.

Oh, I, decided that's the life for me.
Like a sort of pirate, with an eye patch and a wooden knee.
Imagine all the freedom there will be.
Up in space with pirates living free.

But, it is just harder than it seems.
To shoot off into space and live out all your crazy wildest dreams. 
Turns out that you need to go in teams.
If you want to live out all your dreams.

As the planet of blue is fading away.
My memories stuck in the past are fading to grey.
I was trapped behind your mirror for the longest time.
But now. 
I'm in space.

I, Decided

Gone with the birds (SpukSchreibMaschine x The Fall of Saigon)

Once again with www.soundcloud.com/ulv-orn-bjornsson bit different this time. Avant garde or whatever you wanna call it.

seeing in the dark
i see you but you don't see me
in the shadows i perceive clearly
things that used to be obscure to me

let's go back to that place where we did those things
of the sunset and the stars we'll sing
a little sympathy and peace to bring

once there was a house
then there was a child
then there was a car
and the times got less wild
but when i look at you i'm still beguiled

there's a chemistry
working silently
invisibly
improbably
around you and me

lying in the dark
i know you have your eyes on me
you perceive but you will never see
in the end that what will be will be

these seasons come and go with the ebb and flow
but if you'd only close your eyes you'd know
you can only reap the seeds you sew

once there was a dawn
then there was a day
then there was a dusk
and the moon would come along and say
that there can never be another way

there's a chemistry
working silently
invisibly  
improbably
around you and me

flowers will grow
amid the stones and the snow

there's a chemistry
working silently
invisibly  
improbably
around you and me

PROGRAM NOTE
Forty million Americans do it: join a dating site hoping to find true love in digital space. In Real Life is a song cycle for soprano and piano that explores the humor and heartbreak of this modern ritual. Five women fill out their dating-site profiles, opening a window into their worlds. The first song is “A Regular Woman,” in which a lady outlines the exact sort of man she’s looking for with comical specificity, perfect for today’s on-demand culture. “Late Bloomer” is a sweet and wistful portrait of a woman who learns in her 40s that her romantic tastes have changed radically. Next, in “Anastasia,” we hear from a Russian looking for a husband—with all the broken English that entails. With “Collateral,” the mood turns dark, as a war widow contemplates returning to the dating pool. Finally, “Rewind” is a nostalgic anthem by a 35-year-old whose divorce has made her feel like an awkward teen again. Can she learn something from her younger self? Funny and sad yet full of hope, In Real Life is about reality, fantasy and second chances. In Real Life was commissioned by Austin Chamber Ensemble Artistic Director Martha Mortensen Ahern, in honor of its 35th season.
