Dance of the Fauns

I 've found some guitar variations of this old European musical theme in my archive (composer anonym, around 17.00). This ancient chord progression is used in many popsongs...  

Which variation do you like the most?

Folie D'Espagne

As I was saying
Just before you left the room 
Before I assumed 
That you might not come around

As I was saying 
Just after I took my foot from
My mouth and put it back 
On the ground

I don't want to disappoint you
I don't want to disappear
From here or now or you

This is worth saving
Because the sum of us is more than us
If you add us up 
Then subtract my lack of sleep

My mind feels crazy
When all these thoughts come rushing in
Should I be trusting them 
Or only let them be?

I don't want to disappoint you
I don't want to disappear
From here or now or you

Is it just a matter of time?
Does it even matter at all?
Because even if this story should fall 
From the sky to the sea
If I should fall 
Would you fall down with me?     
Would you fall with me?

Found my foundation
It was underneath me all along
On this path I'm on 
Now I never walk alone

I've been erasing
Rewrote the second half like this
So my protagonist 
Might find his way back home     

I don't want to disappoint you
I don't want to disappear
From here or now or you
Not from here or now or you

From Here To Now To You

As I Was Saying

There’s a black hole pulling me in 
I slowly bend 
‘til I see the back of my own sins
I stole my soul from myself 
Now I wonder

I wonder is there somebody with a perfect plan 
That goes boom when it’s stamped 
Then we could understand
How the gods of old used to clap their hands 
To make thunder

And so we’re clapping and we’re laughing 
Like it was so absurd
In the future we’ll be laughing at who we were 
Right now as man plays god with the land 
That he plunders

To the one unknown no one can own 
No seed that’s resistant to greed 
If we listen to time after time
Time can never go under

There’s this vine trying to climb 
Through the window into my life
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
There’s this wine trying to find 
It’s way from the bottle into my mind
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind

And so this vine is trying to climb 
Through the window into my life
To bring me symmetry and memories 
Of a backlit breeze 
Back into a dream on the ground 
Looking up at the sun coming down

Into a world where boys and girls 
Are holding hand held devices
While they’re eating and they’re sleeping 
And they’re dreaming of the prices
We’ll be paying down the line 
When the ice melts maybe it will turn to wine

And all the greatest of the heroes 
Started jumping from the books
They started wearing ones and zeros
Looking more and more like crooks
They stole the sunlight from the future 
Took a sip, drank half the glass then put it back

A lot of people like to have a feast
Not so many can stomach the killing
A lot of traffic on the streets
So who’s really doing all the drilling?
Keep on filling what can never be full 
My imagination’s got a hole in it

There’s this vine trying to climb 
Through the window into my life
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
There’s this wine trying to find 
It’s way from the bottle into my mind
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind

Ones And Zeros

Just when you were getting used to this place
You were getting used to these bones
You were getting used to the changes
Well the change won’t leave you alone

You finally caught up with the pace
The tough just might have got going
You thought you could trust all the faces 
Well they’re only on one side of the coin  

All these changes
Different stages
Turning page after page after page
It gets stranger day by day

Set your eyes straight up ahead
Don’t look down when you cross
And pay no mind to time it’s a punch line
The joke is on all of us

All these changes
Different stages
Turning page after page after page
It gets stranger day by day

Change

I've got to get home 
There's a garden to tend  All the fruit’s on the ground
The birds have all moved back Into my attic 
Whistle then static 
The young learn to fly 
I will patch up the holes once again  

Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
 I thought it was sleeping
I guess it got fed up with not being fed 
I would be too I keep food in my belly 
And hope that my time isn't soon  

So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand A
nd whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon 

Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too  
In the back of my house 
There’s a trail that won't end
 We went walking so far 
It grew back in  
And now there's no trail at all
Only grass growing taller 
Get out my machete
And battle with time once again
 But I'm bound to lose
Because I'll be damned if time don't win

  I got to get home 
There's a garden to tend 
All the seeds from the fruit 
Buried and begin 
Their own family trees 
Teach them thank you and please
 Spread their own roots 
Then watch the young fruit grow again 
This old trail 
Will lead me right back to where it begins

  So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand 
And whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon

 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too

It's too late

It's Too Late

The 4th song off the album 'Black & White Sunlight' released in November 2013. The second of two ingles the band released. An easy listenable classic, featuring a harmonica and a chord progression that, although simple, is arguably the most effective on the album. Nay's warm vocals sooth the soul as the harmonious chorus allows room for people to sing along to.

BTW... The title is about the instrumentation. An inside joke on my first violin song!

I  drive home in my car
Road signs pass me by
Can’t seem to close my eyes
Something’s calling, I don’t know

It’s such a lonely drive
Though wistful and serene
The radio stands on mute
I’m captured in this dream

The sun is setting over there
I can see you in my mind
Your hair as soft as morning light
I am driving who knows where

 
Chorus
I am thinking of you 
I am thinking of you
I am thinking of you

Strung Out (lyrics: John Eagle)

An excercise in controlling the mind and i guess the universe too..
We are always in a hurry, creating ideas, making money, interactive media is all around us... a bombardement of information....
This piece 'forced' me to return to the basics, reflecting the deeper meaning of simplicity...

Solid ground

In existence there are ideal forms and there are imperfect manifestations of these forms.  It is a matter of philosophy which is more real to us in our experience of the world:  the perfect idealized form of an apple, or the imperfect manifestation of this form that is said to "participate in apple-ness".  In fact we don't ever see the real idealized form of an object or an idea. It is as if, as Plato said, we are prisoners of a cave, where the objective form sits outside the cave and casts shadows on the interior wall of the cave.  We see only these shadows that are subject to the limitations of our perception and influenced by the collection of our emotional beliefs and past experiences.  More abstractly, these shadows may represet a potential relationship, any of our desires or goals, our self image, or a myriad of any possible other more mundane things. We reach towards these shadows trying to understand as best we can, trying to refine them to be one step closer to perfection.  Sometimes magic happens here. Other times it does not.  Sometimes we fail to realize when it has happened.  Other times we fool ourselves into believing it has happened when it has not. The best we can hope for is to remain humble and patient, and continue to believe our perception will eventually converge with reality if we continue growing and reaching for shadows...

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

Dutch Lyrics
ik accepteer alles wat ik ben man, ben in de ban van alles wat ik beter kan dan 
kijken vergelijken, meten is weten, voorstellen vergelijken, geweten niet vergeten, 
wat dem draken, waar zijn die draken? kijk ze in de ogen aan en zal ze tam maken, 
Michael oh Michael je moet me niet verlaten, voed me met moed als alle Jihad soldaten
spiegeltje spiegeltje aan de wand, pokkepimpuisten who is the bomb in het land 
waar ben ik geweest wat heb ik gedaan wie heb ik geliefd wie heb ik geslaan wie heb ik gegriefd hoe kan ik het aan reality check, bij mezelf te raden gaan, met alle feedback het lachen is me al vergaan maar ik ga door, het ene oor in niet uit het andere hoor, kom allemaal dan zeggen we in koor

Google translate (pretty sick, but i was to lazy to translate to english) :P

I accept everything I am a man, am fascinated by everything I can do better than
Looking compare, measure is to know, comparing proposals, conscience not forget,
what dem dragons, where are the dragons? Look them in the eyes and will make them tame,
Michael oh Michael, do not leave me, feed me with courage all Jihad soldiers

mirror mirror on the wall, who is the pokkepimpuisten bomb in the country
I've been to what I have done whom I loved who I skipped whom I have offended how can I to
reality check, we recommend going with any feedback to myself laugh is already destroyed me
but I'm going through, in one ear does not hear from the other, then we'll all say in unison

Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair.
