Piano Dans La Nuit

Well this one is different . I asked Andrea to send me some mythical lyrics , which she did , and I put a basic idea for a song together . When I sent it to Axel to have a play about with it he completely transformed it into what it is  now . With his instrumentation and production , and Andreas fantastic and inspired lyrics , this is ( hopefully ) a joy to listen to , enjoy ! Next up on the 1st of November is a moody blues/rock song by Dave Cooper and myself , closely followed by 2 songs by myself . Me and Dave , and me and Gaz have just completed songs yet to have a release date , and me and Charlotte are half way through a new one . Thank you so much for listening .
Intro

Legend says a fortune

Can be found upon this earth

The map is in the Constellations

A myth of royal worth


V1

Queen Cassiopeia 

Known for her boastful vanity

Thought too highly of herself 

And enraged the powers that be


Punished by Poseidon

She was cast into the sky

Upon a golden throne she sits

Celestial she flies


Chorus 

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


V2

She moved with the seasons

Slowly turning upside down

All the jewels adorning her

They fell upon the ground


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x3)


Solo duel


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


Outro

She's Beautiful

Even though afar
a feeling of coolness comes
from those mountain pines

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

Even Though Afar ( Naviarhaiku 575 )

This strange little tune uses only the single spoken word 'pine' as it's sole source material, making use of various forms of sampling and manipulation, including the wonderful Synplant 2 ... Enjoy! 😁

Although be careful, it's so odd the SC algorithm has warned me it won't be recommending it to potentially interested listeners ... Presumably, it's not considered 'music' by the machine?! Result! 😜
