It Goes On

Nocturne No. 2

Lyrics;
Well, he wasn't born a winner
He never even placed
And though he gave his very best
Sometimes he'd fall right on his face

He wasted time in school
Got his lessons from the streets
The ins and outs of the city's game
Thinking quickly on his feet

The world is slowly turning
And the days can be so long
The sun is hot and burning
But he knows the night is coming on
Standing in the batters box
He looks to take his swing
And he'll be swinging for the fence
Till the fat old lady sings

Taking lefts and taking rights
He's been up against the ropes
Life can really bust you up
When all you have is hope

He won't give up the fight
In spite of cuts and stings
He'll give em hell up to the bell
And leave it in the ring

The winners get the glory
Not so the also ran
Running to the finish
To do the best they can
In time he lost a step
The crowd would pass him by
He faced his final days
With a dream of one more try

He wasn't born a winner
Never even placed
And he never did give up
His lfe was all about The race

Wasted time in school
Got his lessons from the streets
Playing solo in the city game
Growing wiser in defeat

The world is slowly turning
And the days can be so long
The sun is hot burning
But he keeps on keeping on
He might not ever finish first
Or be the best at anything
But he'll be swinging for the fences
Till the fat old lady sings

!Paul (pronounced i-paul) continues to demonstrate his remarkable versatility as a producer. Following the success of his debut album Home, which explored modern classical, new age, neo-classical, lo-fi, and dream pop, !Paul is now expanding his sonic palette even further while staying true to his unique sound.

With Self-reflection, !Paul once again shows how effortlessly he links music to title. The delicate piano sound beautifully reflects everything one might feel during a moment of self-reflection, the depth, silence, and thoughtfulness captured in both color and sound. When the strings join in, it feels like a turning point in the music, a moment of introspection. Once again, a pure example of musical art, performed by !Paul.

On to the next chapter.

"Fantasia in B Minor" is a classical-style composition by Lisa Linsky that draws inspiration from renowned classical composers such as Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and others. By capturing the essence of their musical styles, "Fantasia in B Minor" embodies their dramatic and emotional intensity. 

Lisa has incorporated elements of virtuosity, intricate counterpoint, expressive themes, and a wide dynamic range. These characteristics aim to captivate and engage the listener, immersing them in the narrative of the piece.

"Fantasia in B minor" is anthem like in style, but deeply powerful, and a track that resonates with such a clever juxtaposition, darkness and light, shadow and sun, it’s all here in a solo piano performance that is simply fantastic.

Song For Marti

Hello everyone! I'm presenting to you "Tales of El'Azar" a project of mine based on the same novel. It's a set of ambient & orchestral compositions that follow the story of Ulenth, the Mists traveler, as he arrives in the fabled world of El' Azar and explores it. Two different parts compiled into one album coming straight from the time I experimented a lot with music. I hope you enjoy!
