Directly from heart to heart. A pleasure to ears and to soul. Thank you, Janne!!

Very nice song and vocal performance Janne! 😀👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶

Absolutely terrific, Janne. So sorry about your friend.

your voice is a mixture classic crooner and Jazz

Someone pushes the red button.........and now there are more of them in other places pushing their red button.....

In our skies fly a handful of intercontinental robots....carrying nuclear warheads.......

What does man feel in this moment of stillness and silence, before hell breaks loose around us in an exterminating firestorm.......

Armageddon - Seagull

Original track
Music made in Garageband

I wrote this when i lost a very good friend to cancer..
He always hade hope, and a smile on his face.... <3

Lyrics:

A new morning
A new day
Another chance to get luck on my way
I still belive it will be fine
That I can fight this away..

The storm rages
The rain is cold
But i still hope that I will grow old
Each new day is all I have
And I'm so grateful for that...

Never take for granted the life you have
What you have been
What you are
Life is so fragile
But you never know
If you get luck on your way...

I will keep smiling
I will pray
Enjoy the feeling that I am still alive
And if luck comes my way
I can get another day.....

The storm rages
The rain is cold
But I still hope that I will grow old
Each new day is all I have
And I'm so grateful for that..

Never take for granted the life you have
what you have been
What you are
Life is so fragile
But you never know
If you get luck on your way...

Oh, life is so fragile
But you never know
If you get luck on your way...

And if luck comes my way
I can get another day......

Luck On Your Way (Original)

Original Bob Dylan 1965

PdB Orchestra : Piano, organ, harpe and guitars

Like A Rolling Stone

Jag vill ha kaffe. ( 1997 ) Eddy Mango ( Eddy )

I wrote this song back in 2018 timeframe. I had a moment of realization from broken relationships. I felt tangled and pulled in so many different directions. The past has such an impact. Sharing these types of songs isn't the easiest, but it's part of my life, and how I felt. I recently changed a single lyric in this song which is why I wanted to do another take, and honestly I was really feeling this song tonight. Recorded live on my old baldwin. This is my only song where I do a piano crossover. Maybe I'll have another in a song one day.  I hope you can take something from this song. Thank you for listening! It truly means a lot!

Evaporating 

Looking at a love right down the hall
Scared to death to take the fall
It's something that I've always wanted in life
But the past is such a knife

Cutting so deep cutting so deep
Beautiful things I can never keep

I try and tell myself that this time will be different
Possessing a love that would be so consistent
But I'm wrong I'm not that strong

Watching our future crash to the ground
In my heart is the loudest sound
Scattered everywhere the pieces melting bright
Evaporating slow in the night

Cutting so deep cutting so deep
Beautiful things I can never keep
Beautiful things I can never keep

I've dreamed a lot of dreams of our shadows on the pavement
Expressing a love that would be so transparent
It's a dream always a dream

Looking at a love in a worn out sky
Feeling numb I wish I could cry
It's something I've adapted to in this life
Oh the past is such a knife

Cutting so deep cutting so deep
Beautiful things I can never keep
Beautiful things...I can never keep

Oooo Oooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

My Method of Composing and Producing

I'm sharing my method of composing and producing music recordings in case other composer-producers like me might find ideas worth exploring in their own work. I use this method for Classical, Avant-Pop or Neo-Folk Instrumental genres, not for Ambient and Soundscape pieces. Non-composers might find this explanation interesting, but having a bit of music theory background will definitely help. I consider myself a humble learner when it comes to music theory. 

I owe a debt of gratitude to British musician and educator Gareth Green, whose Music Matters online courses and free YouTube lessons have taught me so much over the past few years. Thanks to his instruction, I’ve moved from struggling to compose music by trial and error to something more enjoyable and productive. The knowledge I've gained has taken my work in new and expanding directions. As the saying goes, “Theory is not a cage — it’s a map. It doesn’t make the journey for you, but it keeps you from getting lost.” 

When I start a new piece, I begin by choosing a key, and picking a scale drawn from one of these sources:
 
1) Western Tonal / Functional Harmony - major or minor chords I II III IV V VI VII
2) Modal Harmony - Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, etc.
3) Slonimsky's "Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns" 
4) Messiaen’s "Seven Modes of Limited Transposition" 

For many pieces, I also decide on a progression, one as a simple as I IV V, or something more elaborate.  

Next I create a "scales and progressions" piano track in my DAW (digital audio workstation software) and enter the chords I to VII in my chosen key. These harmonized scales serve as a basis for writing multipart harmonies and finding pivot chords for key modulations. 

At the start, I know what instruments I want to use, making adjustments along the way. I tend to write chord parts first, then melodies created through a mix of improvisation and direct input in the DAW. Sometimes I start with a melody.

I develop melodies and variations of a phrase by some combination of: a) passing it from one instrument to another, transposing it by an interval that sounds pleasing, b) reversing it, c) inverting it around the tonic (first) note of the scale. These are well-known methods. 

After completing a section, I choose another scale and maybe a new key and repeat the process until I have a draft of the entire piece. Then I export a recording and listen to it “offline”, take notes of errors and new ideas, and incorporate them back into the piece. Often this “compose / listen / compose” cycle is repeated many times. These iterative cycles include adding new ideas, polishing transitions between sections, changing the arrangement, and incorporating expressive details like accents, and articulations (staccato, sustain, portato etc.). I’m often working several different pieces at once. 

Last is mixing and mastering: balancing the loudness between instruments and adjusting elements like reverb, compression, and equalization. I tend to mix as I compose, even though many producers frown on that approach. I find mixing as I go helps me envision the completed piece and make adjustments to the choice of instruments; it self-inspires me when the piece is starting to sound good.  At the end I do a final mix, but as the saying goes, “A mix is never finished — it’s surrendered.”

In the end, this method gives me a basis for exploration and creativity and helps me stay focused. The goal is always to make a piece of music that feels expressive, cohesive, and emotionally resonant.

... because I really miss Jacques Brel's poetry, and GLOWsutra gratitude is how I transform existential dread into congenial melancholy, en Français 🍟🎧✨

ps: wanna French #lyrics ? Oh oui, oui oui oui?! But(t) also maybe, non. 
Because the fact of the matter is that no one seems to care whatsoever, so errr, you know, whatever. I'd rather spare me lazy self the effort it takes to share, like errr, why even bother? Indifference begets indifference, like "Trauma Begets Trauma", like, errr, it's only fair, I confer lol... unless you wanna send me a dare? ✍️💌🏴‍☠️
