Quella sei tu

Galactic Journey

first try with a bouzouki

Well no school, no work, no worries! At least for us making another track. But Mr. Grank is on a mission with his dirty pal Rusty. They encounter a mysterious phone booth in the park and Mr.Grank stops to make an important call to a long lost friend of his. What was the number though, the name? Address??? It is strange... Tubs, Fish tanks, Habitats, fire places... these things still have purpose in today's world... but phone booths? long lost friends? They fade into the background and slowly into the void. 
What is this lump in the phone book???
Another one of Mr. Grank's marbles! At least it wasn't all for naught.

A Spark of Light

Nights Like These

The moon is dark - The weather is hot 
I’m just here - Wishing you were near
But you're far - far away - And I'm left to stay
With these dreams of you - High on hopes they come true

Silence screams - crickets are loud 
Dreams of you - beneath these clouds
Holding you tight - under the moonlight 
The stars don't shine - quite as bright
Without you here to share the night

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My head is in a twist
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

In the whispering breeze - I hear your voice
it brings me peace - it brings me joy 
I have no choice - you're in my heart 
stay there please - we will never be apart

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My heads in a twist, 
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

But I'm alone, it’s hot and it’s cold 
silence screams loud
Dreams of you beneath these clouds
Silence screams loud 

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My heads in a twist
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

So until we are one, And the waiting is done
I will dream of you - 
So until we are one, And the waiting is done
I will dream of you -

On nights like these
On nights like these 
On nights like these

Nights Like These is a song about longing for a love not yet met, that one true connection we know exists, even if it hasn’t yet arrived. Written in the quiet of the night, it captures the ache and hope of waiting for destiny, hearing whispers of a future love in the silence, and dreaming of when that day finally arrives.

Welcome to my new trilogy. I hope you enjoy listening. 
For the children of the world…

Amor vincit omnia (Love conquers all) was introduced by the Roman poet Virgil in his tenth Eclogue. It’s also a recurring theme in art and literature, including the works of William Shakespeare, who weaved the idea of an all-conquering love into his plays and sonnets. In a Biblical sense how great is the love of a child. They celebrate innocence, openness and a pure heart.

Etude nello spirito di Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. Recently I was blocked out of SC because of a 2-factor authentication problem. It has been a difficult year for me personally.  I experienced a very bad fall in July... broken bones and the works!  I'm finally whole again and the music has kept me going.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!

If you have time, check out my first music book called Music Dreams: Six Original Pieces for Solo Piano through Barnes & Noble.  I welcome your feedback.  Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/music-dreams-jennifer-l-jones/1143986955?ean=9798891455641
