T e n d e r !  So might one write to a newborn daughter.

Très doux, tout délicat, c'est charmant à entendre.

C'est très poetique et sublime... Merci beaucoup pour ce morceau si charmant, Dominique !

This is so beautiful.  Haunting melody.  A pleasure to listen to. ❤️💜

Such a beautiful peaceful track, Dominique.

Lost in the Moment

Murmure

Hello everyone,  

One of my first songs here on SC was an instrumental lullaby. From the very beginning, I had the idea that it could be sung. It was only thanks to Haru that this became a reality. Haru Spring asked me to write lyrics in Japanese and to let her sing them in her language. I thought it was a fantastic idea. For me, the voice and language are equally instruments, and I love going on musical journeys of discovery. That’s why I rearranged the piece.  

I’m thrilled with how Haru wrote and performed the lyrics, and I feel deeply honored to have been able to work with her. Thank you so much, Haru!  

How might the song sound in other languages with different lyrics? I find the idea fascinating and invite you to arrange the song in your native language. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out to me.  

Here’s the sung text in English translation:  

The spring breeze gently blows,
Birds sing in the morning,
In the whispers of the stream,
I hear the voice of life.

On a summer evening, shimmering light,
The distant sounds of festival music,
Moonlight dances on the water,
With the chime of wind bells.

Autumn leaves turn crimson,
Golden waves lap the shore,
Fallen leaves speak of days gone by,
As they bear fruit.

Winter skies freeze white,
On frost-covered ground, a single footstep, a light,
Warming the heart.

Pushed forward by the voice of love,
I gaze up at the passing Earth,
Surely I feel it—in every breath,
Ah, such beauty—let us be together.

The spring breeze gently blows,
Birds sing in the morning,
In the whispers of the stream,
I hear the voice of life.

Lullaby Of The Seasons (feat. Haru Spring)

This is a recording of a spontaneous living room jam with my good friend Hilario when he and his wife visited us at home in Amsterdam in 2016. I had forgotten the recording but my friend Hilario found it somewhere on the shelf. This was the first time we played live together instead of long distance collabs. 
After a little editing here is the track with the memory of this wonderful visit of my friends.

The title comes from the conclusion we came to when we noticed that neither of us could see well without glasses anymore :)

Original by The Police - Walking on the moon (1979)

[Verse]
Giant steps is what she takes
Hold her hand up in the moon
She hopes her legs don't break
Her hair glitters in the moon
We could walk together
Dancing in the moon
We could talk forever
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from her house
Hold her hand up in the moon
Walking back from her house
Her hair glitters in the moon
Feet, they hardly touch the ground
Dancing in the moon
Her feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

[Chorus]
Some may say
She's wishing her days away
No way
And if it's the price she pays
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
She stays
She may as well play

[Bridge]
Giant steps is what she takes
Hold her hand up in the moon
She hopes her legs don't break
Her hair glitters in the moon
She could walk forever
Dancing in the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

[Pre-Chorus]
Some may say
She's wishing her days away
No way
And if it's the price she pays
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
She stays
She may as well play

[Outro]
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up

when you happen to 'move space', it all falls in to place!

Reaching for some naïve tones.
