Lost in Thought

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention." 
 - Oscar Wilde.

A composition inspired by the idea that a simple gift can have a lasting impact as others continue to pass it on. This theme of "passing it on" is represented in the track by the repetition of the main musical theme.

A Simple Gift

perfect journey

“My Learned Peace” is not about a peace found by chance, but a peace earned and protected. It’s the calm that comes after the storm — when you’ve learned to no longer tolerate energies that don’t resemble your own.
An introspective piano piece reflecting growth, healing, and self-awareness — the quiet that follows understanding. A silent dialogue between two souls, where the piano becomes voice, breath, and reconciliation.
🎹 Written and composed by Liz Dicker & Francesco Adornetto

My Learned Peace

the german word for despair is ‚verzweiflung‘ which has the word ‘zweifel’ (=doubt) at its core. this means that despair literally translates as ‘lost/entangled/caught up in doubts.’

etymologically, this can be explained by the loss of hope for improvement, i.e., doubt that something bad could turn out well in the foreseeable future.

one could philosophize at length about doubts. I guess this has already been done in heaps. especially since, beyond the torment of perceived hopelessness, doubts also have absolutely positive aspects. they are an essential part of intelligence and wisdom. just as their absence clearly indicates stupidity and arrogance (#dunning-kruger). so being smart always means agonizing over the question of whether you are actually smart.

apropos agonizing, a relatively tolerable form of despair undoubtedly goes hand in hand with the conflict between the desire for individual freedom and interpersonal bonds. can I translate that as the “have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too-dilemma”?

fortunately, I/we personally never had a problem with this, because I/we never experienced or felt our relationship as conflict of freedom and commitment. however, looking at the course of relationships in our son's generation, I get the feeling that there is a lot of turmoil at work. relationship stress and divorces all over the place. that fits with my album topic! 

here’s a song I wrote about 20 years ago with just the first line of the chorus and later released as a semi-instrumental on sc ages ago. now lyrics have been added (translation hopefully not too wordily phrased) – and with them vocals based on my guitar templates, where suno once again acted extremely annoying. the machine repeatedly tends to slip into hackneyed vocal patterns and that means having to start completely from scratch…

I reach for your arms, but I dream of the sky
I ache for your touch, yet I can’t comply
You whisper ‘home,’ and I drift away
Each time I linger, I lose my way

My heart’s confined while my thoughts run free 
Two fractured souls coexist in me
One craves the flame, one longs for the breeze 
I’m love’s own patient, undone by its disease

As much I love you, I feel the blues
The more I hold you, the more I lose

It’s a holy war, a graceful crime
To beg for forever yet plead for time 
You’re my redemption, my sweet undoing 
Every path I take leads back to you

There’s no victory in a game like this
Where freedom and love can’t coexist 
To live is to lose, to stay is to die 
So, I fade to ash beneath your sky

As much I love you, I feel the blues
The more I hold you, the more I lose
As deep I feel you, I lose my ground
As near I find you, you can’t be found

As long I chase you, the more I fade
As much I trust you, the more I’m afraid
As much I need you, I pay the dues
As much I love you, I feel the blues

As much I love you

FARAYS - meranggas

I first met Lucy years ago, maybe four at the time, who's mother is friends with my daughters.  Her eyes were her most striking feature, deep-set, blue, somewhat melancholy, and could look straight at you, unblinking, as if probing your soul.  I was mesmerized.  Fast forward to March 2025; Lucy is now friends with my granddaughters and visiting them when I happened to be visiting as well.  I was playing guitar for them, playing the songs I had written for them, and when I had finished, Lucy looked at me and ever so sweetly asked if I could write a song for her.  How could I refuse?  I quickly improvised something in E-minor as she seemed like an E-minor kind of girl.  She gave me a thankful smile for my effort, was glad to be included, and the little improvisation quickly forgotten shortly thereafter...or so I thought.  Several months passed,  I was in my music room and starting to practice when her little song popped out saying "hello, remember me?"  Then and there I set about to finish what I had started for Lucy and now present to you, my first song of 2026, a dedication to a mysterious little girl with unforgettable eyes.
Thanks to Adobe for the picture of a little girl who is not Lucy, but looks a little like her when we first met.

Pezhman Mosleh – Whispers for Peace and Love
You can listen “Limitless”: 

"Limitless" is dedicated to Krzystof Kieslowski and attracted so many attentions from many countries including France and Poland, and the site of Kieslowski Art and Polish music information center in Poland broadcasted it and it is believed that the music of Mosleh is close to Priesner’s.
(It is suggested to listen to this piece in dim light like the end of sunset.)

According to 1inmusic.com: 
Pezhman Mosleh 
The cinematographic melancholy of Chopin has inspired many, not least your humble host. So it was a definite pleasure to hear it in the original pieces by international Iranian composer Pezman Mosley. Mosley is a Professor of cinema philosophy and aesthetic and a scholar in music history who has humanity and philosophical concerns. He is a pioneer in Iranian neo romanticism, his compositions also reminiscent of the works of another composer, Beethoven, in this beautiful and heartfelt piano piece, Snow. 
Nina Bahri has performed this piece by piano.

Pezhman Mosleh – Whispers for Peace and Love
This sound and many such beautiful ones are gathered in a beautiful and peaceful compilation entitled “Whispers for Peace and Love”, the fruit of the recent years he has spent in silence and solitude, studying and searching. The pieces in this album are portrayed and approach film music. Although many of the songs are instrumentals, there is also the occasional singing which is rendered by the very voice of the musician.
The album includes 8 pieces; “Snow”, “Limitless”, “Good remembrance”, “Loneliness at night”, “life”, “Martyr”, “Nameless”, “Dance of wind”.

Pezhman Mosleh – notable Mandela song
He is the first Iranian artist who has composed and sang a song for Mandela which was dedicated to the South African President and activist when he was alive. This notable song was conveyed to Mr. Mandela and Nelson Mandela Foundation who both expressed their appreciation of the work of an author who means to touch the heart of the world. The heartfelt composition is orchestrated in a way and also includes extracts of Mandela’s speech giving the full thing an anthemic strength with a mixture of authentism and emotion. The song has seen broadcast in South Africa on their South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), in the UK via the beautiful and humanity program of Wandsworth radio and on Amazing radio.

Pezhman Mosleh – Other works
Mosley was also mentioned in New York, NY (Top40 Charts) and Record Setter (World Records). These noted that: “the youngest soloist-vocalist of the world, Ava Sadeghipour is student of the International Iranian Musician, Professor Pezhman Mosleh who is a stylist music teacher and his method is teaching to the children of 2/5-6 years old and he is the only teacher who has a new method for teaching to 2 years old children, so these children are able to play and sing simultaneously in different concert halls at the age of 4 before so many audience.”
The artist’s relaxing musical works, including the album featured “Whispers for peace and love”, have attracted attention of artists, philosophy professors, psychologists, critics, Iran and abroad press and media such as USA, South Africa, Canada, Nigeria, Russia, Australia, UK, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, China, Turkey, Vietnam, India and further.

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
