Faure - Sicillienne performed by Cag Ercag and Zina Asfour

Duet, Irish folk song

From The Hand Editions, a curator on Spotify: Hi Brian, thanks for the submission! I listened to your track and found it very interesting. I particularly liked this very delicate and lulling progression. The duet of the two guitars (beautiful the position so stereophonic!) conveys strong emotions. This is also thanks to a very airy and catchy theme where I also very much appreciated its melodic evolution. Excellent! On 29 February, I will include it in my playlist dedicated to peaceful music! A warm greeting!
Ciao Brian, I listened to your song, the song is very nice and sweet and the simple arrangement highlights the melody. Thanks bye

Une Fantaisie Opus 1

Sonatas II Op.7 No.7

A sort of storytelling song I started writing because Alex asked me which of my songs we could try playing with The Grand Old Echo and I figured I might as well try to write a new one that fits the mountain theme we already have a few of in our repertoire. It might be inspired by a recent trip to the Canary Islands and the volcanic landscape there but is otherwise entirely fictional. The bridge is a bit of a mouthful and I hope the other bandmates will do that bit eventually so I don't have to embarrass myself :)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
They called her Mad Mary, all alone with her canary
In her hut on a hill where the air’s always still
While the winds round the mountain are howling and shouting
About sins and revenge and the way things will end
 
Chorus
Endless doom x2
 
Verse 2
There once was a time when the villagers were kind and
Took care of their island but after a while they
just took it for granted, wasted half of what they hunted, they
Polluted their waters and were cruel to their daughters and
 
Verse 3
They all laughed at old Mary and her harrowing fairy-
tales of fires below smouldering, waiting to show
Them the beast they created with their greed and their hatred
Getting ready to erase those who won’t mend their ways
 
Chorus
Endless doom x3
 
Verse 4
She repeated her warnings, but the village just yawned
Until then came the day when they chased her away
So she took her canary and all she could carry,
Crying  ‘the mountain’s awake, don’t you see what’s at stake’
 
Chorus
You’re all doomed x3
 
Bridge
She felt the Earth rumble, as she ran, tripped and tumbled
Down the side of the mountain, only turning around when
She arrived at the seashore, found her float, finally she saw
Clouds crashing, and the mountain’s passionate flashes, covering it all a black blanket of ash and
Columns of smoke that swallow all colour as they roll down the slopes on their mission to smother
Any hope of escape of those who noticed too late
That all life on the island had gone awfully silent
While a new kind of fiery violence arrived to devour the night while burning bright
So she turned her face away, cut the rope and set sail
Towards the golden horizon with a new sun on the rise while
The inferno’s hot breath kept bringing destruction and death
To everyone but Mad Mary and her loyal canary, singing…
 
Chorus
You’re all doomed x3
 
Verse 5
Mountain of fire, spitting out high into the sky,
They ignored all her warnings and called her a liar
Now fountains of relentless red, glowing rivers of regret that they just laughed at her when she said
 
You’re all doomed

On the wall, over my piano, synth, mac and digital stuff, is a picture called "Uskrevet Stykke" (Unwritten Piece). The painter is Roar Kjærnstad (Track image is not the painting). And this track is an attempt to put sound to this picture, that greets my every morning :-). And the picture also brings back memories of my own strugling with the keys, but also the deep fascination for the sound as it enters the whole room...

Uskrevet Stykke (Unwritten Piece)

Seven for a Secret (not to be told) was inspired by the traditional children's nursery rhyme One for Sorrow. The nursery rhyme is based on an old superstition, which states that the number of magpies one sees determines if one will have bad luck or good luck. 

A common version of the rhyme is the following one:

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
not to be told.
Eight for Heaven, 
Nine for Hell,
Ten for the devil's own sell.
