Some of you will be familiar with this tune, and indeed it has been modified to include a bit of audio which was the basis of the theme. This bit of audio is the original recording of Stephen around 1982. I had looked for that recording for decades to be included just before the start off this song. Also, most recently I had redoubled my effort to find it to play for my beautiful wife as  she lay on her death bed. But, alas, I was only to find it the very day after her passing.

As you might imagine, the old cassette tape was full of hiss. So, my good friend and mentor, Sander (https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer), volunteered to help subtract that flaw and render Stephen's little voice to crystal clarity. Well, that is very much part of Sander's trademark. Thank you, Sander.

And below follows the original description of the song:


This is a song from a child which has no voice of his own. Having succumbed to the side effects of a childhood vaccination, he was never able to learn the spoken word...though through some miracle he seems to have developed perfect pitch. 

How would I know? Well, if I pick up various objects which can make a tone if they are blown into, though he may have heard it only once before, he will sometimes sing the note as it is being picked up. Blow into that object and, sure enough, he is in tune with it.

He was only about 3 years old when we were trying in vain to get him to speak into a tape recorder. Instead, he came up with this tune, which I decided to just add accompaniment. The original recording actually had his voice on it, but it has been lost over the years.

This is the only sunrise
Edge of the amber darkness (cut the)
veins of blue mountain water…

A path to the lullaby wind
We're stumbling… 
not knowing the
The child from within

[@4catsncoffee on violin]
This is the flash of madness
Traced in the scraping branches…

A path to the lullaby wind
Sung by the…
child that sees out from within
Gravity, on and on (and on…)
Spots on the sun
Sung by the…
devil behind those closed eyes

Yes, promises chase the magic
breath, skipping the one heartbeat between
Faces and thousands of lullabies end in a single word

This is the only sunrise

Hello everyone, 
I was thrilled from the very beginning when I heard the music of Sarah Paradise-Brown. Now I am not only very excited but also honored because Sarah entrusted me with my favorite song of hers to compose an orchestral arrangement. You can now hear the result of our collaboration.

The song is about the medicine that everyone needs to survive. 

Enjoy listening to the song and don't forget: 

“Love is all you need”.

this is another witch's tale

im sorry
im sorry,
i love you like its war
sorry i push just to need you more
its not you,
its the noise in my brain

im trying to love you through the pain
i wake up and im still here
but sometimes that feels to near

you touch my hand i pull away
then beg you not leave that day
i dont even know who's loving you today
 my reflection keeps changing names
one minute your my safe place
the next your the storm

i say im leaving just to see 
if you'll chase me
i know its not easy
loving someone who turns on a dime
but when you say my name softly
the chaos quiets for awhile
i know its not your fault i break like this
you're fighting my shadow
when all you wanted was light

you see the calm inside my hurricane
you stayed when i was hard to hold
i live with my hearts its got your face
you're my calm in this crowded place
you say its okay when i go numb
but i see the hurt ive done
i dont mean to twist your words
its just how my brain learns

im sorry i push,
im sorry i cling,
sorry i turn small things into everything
but when i see you sleeping beside me
i start to believe i'm worth keeping
and i'm still learning 

one day at a time 
to love you softly 
not just with my mind 

half of me hates you, all of me needs you (natebeatz)

Fil de lumière

Refrain
I just need to live
Everyone made a wish
A light to find their way

T'entends des éclats de rire, de musique
tes rêves sont doux mais englués de plastique
la magie du matin nous tend la main

en se baladant sur le fil au gré des saisons
j'avais complètement oublié de te demander ton nom
tu m'as donné un sourire, je t'ai prêté mon blouson

Quelques étoiles sont venues partager quelques idées
un peu de velouté dans nos vies agitées
rendant possible quelques rêves oubliés

Refrain

dans ce chaos pas d'escabeau
j'avançais comme un escargot ma maison sur le dos
le coeur léger et c'est la vie qui nous sourit

tu me trouvais bien futile avec mes idées
tous les deux partis en vrille quelle drôle d'idée
attirés comme un aimant, profitant de l'instant

Refrain

Thank you for visiting my site. Firstly, thank you so much for your kindness and your support for this music. It means the world! 

I’m an independent label and artist composing cinematic electronic music since 2005 through my label, Indigo World Productions. I’m self-taught with very little formal training, and do not read or write music.  As such my compositions are inspired by a vast range of feelings and visualizations.

From the start I’ve been inspired by film scores from brilliant composers including John Williams, Vangelis, Ennio Morricone, and Hans Zimmer. The music I create is emotive with minimal engineering to preserve the essence of the composition. No AI is used in my music.

Indigo World Productions is an independent publisher label cleared and registered through ASCAP'S DART Claim Publisher Members and Affiliated Foreign Societies in 2005. All of my works are registered through ASCAP as a publisher and writer member.

Thank you so much for listening, and I hope this music in some way brightens your day!
