Beautiful piano piece - a deep meditation that fits well with your poetry!

I really like the modulation here 😀 And the work on the strings was worth it. Very nicely worked out dynamics, wonderfully beautiful melody, quiet passages and powerful expression in alternation. I enjoyed it 🎶🎵😊

Hi Jennifer! Another wonderful composition and with a beautiful string arrangement! I love it! Deep inside of us lies the love of a lifetime! Great work!👍😎✌🏼

Can’t sleep ?

Giving And Taking
Cloud Stepping
(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all 
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

(Verse1)
If we knew it all, and all, and all
Then nothing would matter
It’s all a puzzle to be solved
We have always been the answer
The plan of god without reward
Evolves in different ways
We are all awake in different dreams
To let the devil play

(Verse2)
Who amongst us hear the screams
Of millions of lives lost, 
and don’t look on it as savagery
And wonder what’s the cost
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost
Are we listening or not
Are we listening or not

(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all 
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

Hello friends, I invite you to listen to my new piano arrangement with strings, Deep Inside.   Below is a short unfinished poem which is the inspiration for the song. Let me know what you think!  Thanks!

DEEP INSIDE ~Music and poem by Jennifer L. Jones

Deep inside I tremble
From a world crying 
So deep inside 
Its weary temple.

A spark of hope flickers
But I cannot see
I am blinded
By the darkness 
Deep in me.

The noise screams 
With worry
And when silence
Decends 
My heart stops 
Deep Inside
Until it ends.

But where quiet trembles,
There is love
Like thunder 
wrapped in silence.
And passion 
rising with the tide

I breathe again…
Deep Inside

Deep Inside

"She sat beside him, their shoulders almost touching, yet a canyon of unspoken volumes stretched between them—longing for what could have been and mourning what never was.  Each silence echoed with a thousand words neither dared to speak, the air heavy with the ache of both wanting and withholding.  In the quiet, their hearts told stories their lips never would—have missed chances, of the right words arriving too late, or not at all." 

There's this Flemish/Dutch expression "het spreekt boekdelen" which means something like "speaking volumes". In Flemish it means saying a lot, not with words but with a look or a gesture, usually in emotionally heavy situations. I wondered how one would put it if these emotions, however very present and clear to all concerned, would not be expressed at all. Hence the title "unspoken volumes".
I was reading about synth architecture then and wondered how an electric piano would sound like if I had to program it with a DX7. So I tried to emulate it using FM synthesis. The "unspoken volumes" theme came to me while messing about on the keyboard. The choir seemed like a fun contradiction to this idea of something unspoken.

A slow blues tempo for the current situation we find ourselves in.
Headphones essential 🎧
Lyrics
How’ve we let it get to this, it really seems ridiculous 
These gangsters criminals fanatics and lunatics 
Drag us into the abyss 

So tonight let’s just put that all aside and let the music play 
And if this should be the last song for you and me
Then let’s just sway

Or am I just being pessimistic should I be more optimistic 
And maybe I’ll see that history won’t simply be repeating itself 

So tonight let’s just put that all aside and let the music play 
And if this should be the last song for you and me
Let’s just sway….

But the moon 🌙 still turns the tides
And day follows night
We awake to find a brand new day 
And this doesn’t have to be the last song
And life still goes on 
Life still goes on…….

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. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  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
