Pleasant flow and good songwriting. Nicely smooth performance.

This is awesome! Very pleasant to listen to.

Carole King composed this tune in 1971 but James Taylor's version made it famous. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

You Are My First Thought

Promises

Peaceful

Needle Pile

This song was composed in memory of my little girl, who passed away a year ago. It's a tribute filled with love and nostalgia, a musical offering that seeks to embrace her memory. The melody is built on soft melodic pianos and enveloping guitars, accompanied by harmonious synthesizers that create an ethereal atmosphere. The sounds of the sea and the songs of sirens emerge like echoes of the soul, representing a bridge between this world and hers. Each note is a caress, each chord a tear turned into light. It's a farewell that refuses to relent, a whisper to heaven that says, "You'll always be with me."

HELIODORA´S SONG

She wakes with the sun but forgets where it rose
Her hands tell the story of the life that she chose
Fingers worn down like the stones in a stream
She built her own world from a broken dream

[Verse 2]
Heliodora fought with a heart full of fire
Through storms and through shadows her strength wouldn’t tire
She held up her home with no luck on her side
Her spirit unbroken though time tried to hide

[Chorus]
Oh Heliodora your name rings so true
A fighter a dreamer the world’s still in you
Though memories fade and the moments seem small
Your story still echoes it’s heard by us all

[Verse 3]
She worked with her hands till the years took their toll
A soldier of love with an unyielding soul
Her choices were heavy but her heart was light
She carried her family through the darkest of nights

[Bridge]
Now the past it gets blurry like a watercolor sky
But her laughter still lingers it refuses to die
The wrinkles she wears are her medals of grace
Heliodora still shines through time’s quiet embrace

[Chorus]
Oh Heliodora your name rings so true
A fighter a dreamer the world’s still in you
Though memories fade and the moments seem small
Your story still echoes it’s heard by us all


HELIODORA

Despierta con el sol, pero olvida dónde salió.
Sus manos cuentan la historia de la vida que eligió.
Dedos desgastados como piedras en un arroyo.
Construyó su propio mundo a partir de un sueño roto.

[Verso 2]
Heliodora luchó con un corazón lleno de fuego.
A través de tormentas y sombras, su fuerza no se cansó.
Mantuvo su hogar sin la suerte de su lado.
Su espíritu inquebrantable, aunque el tiempo intentó ocultarlo.

[Estribillo]
Oh, Heliodora, tu nombre suena tan verdadero.
Una luchadora, una soñadora, el mundo aún está en ti.
Aunque los recuerdos se desvanezcan y los momentos parezcan pequeños.
Tu historia aún resuena, todos la escuchamos.

[Verso 3]
Trabajó con sus manos hasta que los años le pasaron factura.
Una soldado del amor con un alma inquebrantable.
Sus decisiones fueron pesadas, pero su corazón era ligero.
Llevó a su familia a través de las noches más oscuras.

[Puente]
Ahora el pasado se vuelve borroso como un cielo de acuarela.
Pero su risa aún... Perdura, se niega a morir.
Las arrugas que lleva son sus medallas de gracia.
Heliodora aún brilla a través del abrazo silencioso del tiempo.

[Estribillo]
Oh, Heliodora, tu nombre suena tan cierto.
Una luchadora, una soñadora, el mundo aún está en ti.
Aunque los recuerdos se desvanezcan y los momentos parezcan pequeños.
Tu historia aún resuena, todos la escuchamos.

Hommage à Léo Ferré qui a rendu lui-même hommage à Paul Verlaine et Arthur Rimbaud.

Ne pleure pas, Léo,
Mon Léo, mon ami
Léo de la passion
Naufragé de la vie,
Tu changes de couleur
Avec Paris Canaille 
Quand tu souffles la vie
Et la folie des hommes

Refrain :
Au musée des tourments
Les copains de la Neuille
Sont toujours de la fête
Quand tu viens nous chanter
Verlaine et puis Rimbaud
Dans un vieux bordel tango
Quand tu viens nous chanter
Rimbaud et puis Verlaine

Ne pleure pas, Léo, 
Va, porté par le vent,
Rejoindre le chagrin
D’amour et de pitiés
Dans tes rêves cachés
Pour ce moment royal
Les poètes maudits
Te saluent tout là-haut
(refrain)

Ne pleure pas, Léo,
Que le temps passe vite
Mais nous, on t’oublie pas
Toi, le messie de l’âme
Arrivé de la nuit
Ami du temps présent
Tu reviendras un jour
Danser sous les étoiles

Refrain :
Au musée des tourments
Les copains de la Neuille
Seront tous de la fête
Quand on verra chanter
Verlaine et puis Rimbaud
Dans un vieux bordel tango
Quand tu viendras chanter
Rimbaud et puis Verlaine
La la la la la la (4X)
Quand on verra chanter
Dans un vieux bordel tango
Quand tu feras danser
Verlaine avec Rimbaud

Tribute to Léo Ferré, the famous French singer who himself paid tribute to Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, two great French poets.

Don't cry, Léo,
My Léo, my friend,
Léo of passion,
Shipwrecked by life,
You change color
With Paris Canaille 
When you breathe life
And the madness of men

Chorus:
At the museum of torment,
The friends of La Neuille
Are always partying
When you come to sing us
Verlaine and then Rimbaud
In an old tango brothel
When you come to sing us
Rimbaud and then Verlaine

Don't cry, Léo, 
Go, carried by the wind,
To join the sorrow
Of love and pity
In your hidden dreams
For this royal moment
The cursed poets
Salute you from above
(chorus)

Don't cry, Léo,
Time passes quickly
But we won't forget you
You, the messiah of the soul
Arriving from the night
Friend of the present moment
You will return one day
To dance under the stars

Chorus:
At the museum of torments
The friends of La Neuille
Will all be at the party
When we see singing
Verlaine and then Rimbaud
In an old tango brothel
When you come to sing
Rimbaud and then Verlaine
La la la la la la (4X)
When we see singing
In an old tango brothel
When you make dancing
Verlaine with Rimbaud

Ne pleure pas, Léo

You typed - three dots - then silence fell
A flicker of thought, then the digital spell
Just broke
No war, no closure, no smoke
Not a fight, not a funeral, just... blank
You left my name like coins in a riverbank
Unspent
Unread
Unsaid

I built a castle in our thread
Wrote sonnets in the ellipses
While you vanished
like you owed the wind a debt

I shook hands with fate in a glass tower
"You're exactly what we need"
They said with teeth-white power
“Next week"
"Soon"
"Circle back"
I wore ambition like a suit
But it unraveled down the track

Boardroom lights dimmed without goodbye
An inbox full of maybes
A future left on "Standby"

Tell me
Did you mean it when you asked for my dream
Or was I just auditioning for someone else's screen?

I was born with stars behind my eyes
But now they flicker
Refuse to rise
I spoke in plans
Wrote time in chalk
But rain came faster than I could talk

The mirror ghosts me most of all
Each year a friend who doesn't call

Did you hear me, Life?
I knocked
I burned
I bled

But you blinked right through me
And left me unread

A ghost's not dead
Just forgotten
A song half-hummed
A voice gone rotten
No screams, no graves, no final word
Just silence
Beautifully...
Absurd
