Beautiful Middle Eastern Music

This song is a collab between Megan McCarthy, John Styles and Matt Baker, where John and Matt created an orchestral movement incl. guitar and synth tracks around Megan’s piano solo (read Megan’s description below), and modified some slight mistakes on her piano play (at Megans request). We all hope you’ll enjoy this version just as we did making it. 

As Megan already tried to explain on her original song: http://soundcloud.com/megsmusicjourney/never-alone-2-by-megs-mccarthy

it’s a simple slightly sad piano solo/comp but with dances of hope, for all those people who ever feel alone/lonely, thinking of you xx)

Megan’s original description why she made this song: 

This is a piano solo and originally created for someone I love dearly, whom, after going through some difficulties, found himself surrounded by people, yet was very alone and lonely. I wanted to create something for him, so that he could know that he was never alone, and convey the sadness that this loneliness can entail, but also, to try and portray 'hints of dancing' or hope.

There is a difference between being 'alone' and 'lonely'. Everyone experiences both to a degree at some points in their lives, some more than others. Being 'alone' does not always mean that one feels 'lonely', and one can take 'time out' or feel at peace within themselves. 

Likewise, feeling 'lonely', does not always mean that a person is 'alone' and they may be surrounded by people, yet can still feel a sense of deep loneliness.

Originally titled: 'Thinking of You', I wanted to broaden what this song tried to reveal through emotion, for anyone who experiences such, with an understanding of, and empathy for, what it can feel like to be both alone and lonely in this world. Sadness can dominate, hope can be diminished, but throughout such times, there may be glimpses of hope and changes for the better in a journey towards feelings of greater inner peace and acceptance.

Sometimes all it takes, is for one person to show that they care, and to be there, in any way that they can, when it matters the most.

This is what this relatively simple song hoped to present, almost raw emotion, and not 'perfection' in technical proficiency, and it particularly reflects in a way, an old adage I love (or words to this effect):

.... 'You may not 'be' the world, but you may mean the world to someone' :-)

No matter how we may feel at times in life, if ever we feel lonely, and perhaps without hope, we need to know that we are never truly alone, and whilst sad in nature, I hope that the small 'dances of hope' shine through, and for those who listen, to know that someone is thinking of you xx

A set of 11 original piano nocturnes by pianist composer, Phil Best. 

Nocturnes are dark, melancholic virtual love songs full of pathos and longing. Each one feels like an intimate soliloquy about unrequited love, heartbreak and desire.

Inspired by Chopin's masterpieces of this genre, Phil explores a more contemporary approach, mixing in jazz, blues, pop and filmic elements.

The Swan's Poem:
"Ivory quills aquiver with a tail destined to pen:
Dust aflutter, down afloat...
An ailing grace lies mourning, despairing, 
Delirious from the  fragrance of the waterlily's fresh palette of nascent pastels.
Fearful of this night's timeless mistress; 
a muse sinister yet seductive with repose in calling cadence to life's thrashing.
Sails heave, whimpering under the weight of their effort,
Resigned toward inevitably succumbing to dusk's siren.
Drops of loneliness glisten along the arc of a sinuous spine, until
Echoes of breath convey feathered spirits into the beams of a sharply setting sphere."

"Violinist Thomas Gould is one of a new generation of classical musicians who refuses to be defined by a single genre" – The Guardian

"The young British violinist Thomas Gould seems intent on becoming the Nigel Kennedy of his generation... Scythingly scintillating playing from a young virtuoso with a magpie mind" - The Times
