Lazy summer evening

Music & Lyrics: Margareta Theorin

DU, MUSIKEN OCH JAG

Du och musiken 
gör mitt liv, värt att leva.
Varje dag vi har det fint
Du, musiken och jag.

Vi sjunger, spelar
skriver maskin
och umgås som bara vi kan.
Dagar blir till veckor
månader till år.
Snart vi sitter och minns
det som varit.

Tiden bara rusar
musiken enbart tjusar.
Vår kärlek lever med oss
för alltid.

Du och musiken ....

Lyckan har vi funnit
alla år som runnit.
Utan hopp och mening
levde vi då.

Neustart

Freundschaft

Lorsque l'on vit sa liberté pour saisir un rêve, il y a des voyages dont on ne revient jamais vraiment.
When you live your freedom to seize a dream, there are trips you never really come back to.

Océan / ocean
petite musique dans le vent / little music in the wind
le souffle de ta chanson passe / the breath of your song passes
et sans en avoir l’air, tu traces / and without seeming, you traces
un sillon qui fissure ma coque / a furrow that cracked my hull
et ma folle existence / and my crazy existence

mon obsession / my obsession
ma liberté / my freedom
océanique obstacle, obstiné / oceanic obstacle, obstinate

Odyssée / odyssey
voyage plein de péripéties / journey full of adventures
horizon sans vagues ni écume / horizon without waves or scum
émouvante géographie / touching geography
tu voudrais que sur tes contours / you would like that on your outlines
je pose mes bras tout autour / i put my arms all around

(choir) 
Ka taea / it's possible

mon coeur oblique / my oblique heart
mon coeur objecte, obnubilé / my heart objects, obsessed
par le clair-obscur d’un rivage oublié / by the chiaroscuro of a forgotten shore

Olifant / olifant
ton corps d’ivoire où résonne / your ivory body where resonates
l’appel de ces mers parcourues / the call of these seas traveled
la vision de ton âme nue / the vision of your soul naked
sous les assauts de vie terrienne / under the assaults of earthly life
qu’il faut habiller de soleil / that must be dressed with sunshine

(choir)
Ka taea / it's possible

rêve obséquieux / obsequious dream
oblongue et déformé / oblong and distorted
obscurantiste objet de toutes mes pensées / obscurantist object of all my thoughts

(choir)
Ka taea / it's possible

mon obsession /  my obsession
ma liberté /  my freedom
océanique obstacle, obstiné / oceanic obstacle, obstinate

après toi je cavale / after you i run
mais je reste bancale / but i remain wobbly...

(choir)
Ka taea / it's possible

Oceanic Song Of Melancholic Waves

"My Favorite Mistake" is my first collaboration with Roger/B-Train (@roger-b-train) and my 3rd collaboration with Jimena Arroyo (@jimenaarroyo).  I couldn't be happier to once again have a chance to work with Jimena,  especially considering how busy she is!  The woman is a songwriting machine and if you haven't checked out her cloud recently, I highly recommend you do!   Along with her numerous collaborations with some of the most talented individuals and bands here on SC, much of her time and musical energy has gone into her work with Jonnie Cook (@jonnie-cook) - the two of them having formed the up and coming duo Excorde (https://excordeofficial.wixsite.com/excorde)

"My Favorite Mistake" started as a personal challenge.  I came up with the main piano riff roughly a year ago and knew I wanted to write a song around it, but writing a song around a riff is not my usual songwriting process so I decided this was a good opportunity to develop some aspects of my songwriting which, up until that point, I had either not incorporated into my music or outsourced to a collaborator.  In particular, "My Favorite Mistake" is the first song for which I wrote my own bass line and beat. I've always struggled writing beats/creating drum tracks, so pushing myself to face that on this piece was definitely a little scary for me.  The other personal challenge I took on in writing this piece was in the production - especially with respect to the vocals.  I have very little experience mixing and producing vocals and I wanted to use this piece as an opportunity to learn and practice.  Of course, the more I fell in love with the song itself the more I wanted to change my mind and bring in a 'real' producer.  I have to thank both Jimena and Roger for their encouragement, feedback, advice and help which gave me the confidence to get it done.

What really brought this song together in the end was our (Jimena's and my) decision to invite a 3rd collaborator to join us.  I had been working on mixing/producing the 'final' version for quite a while, but it always felt like something was missing.  We decided that the solution might be to bring in one more person to join us.  After thinking about it independently for a bit, Jimena and I both came up with the same name - Roger/B-Train (@roger-b-train).   So, I emailed Roger, shared a couple versions of what we were working on and asked if he might be interested in joining us and to our excitement, he enthusiastically agreed!  What I love so much about Roger's contribution to the final recording is how he manages to compliment and enhance Jimena's voice - as emotive as Jimena is whenever she sings, Roger's guitar really brought out the emotion in her voice even more.  At the same time, he used and left just the right amount of space from start to finish - the result being a song that has a lot to appreciate - I particularly enjoy the interplay/dialogue between all 3 of as the song progresses - without ever feeling too crowded or busy.

Well, you're all here to listen to music, not to read an essay so I'm going to wrap this up.  To Jimena and Roger - it was wonderful working with both of you!  To everyone taking the time to listen - thank you so very much for spending your time with us!  We live in the most insanely busy and fast-paced time in history.  We also exist in a world that is flooded with talented and entertaining people.  To me, there really is no greater compliment than when someone chooses to spend some of their precious time listening to my/our music.

My Way Lost

Hi ! Long time no see (almost a year) but I've been there listening to your fabulous tracks. As I'm concern if I been that much quiet since so many times the reason is simple : no inspiration at all, almost a year as I said without anything to share, arrange or give to all of you.

But still so many of of you have kept listening / commenting and sharing my tracks ; new people came in and I still can't believe all the love I have any day, any time from this community.

Less talk, more music, been working on this one since three month now but, is forcing himself to compose is better than wait for the right time to make it ? I let you judge.

Anyway, there is the fourth piece of the Green Side Chromatic EP ; one left for it. More to come soon I hope.

Love, 

Rahab.

The Bard, The Witch And The Moon

you came into my life
like a breeze of light
whirling through my heart
a breeze of light
gone with the wind
leaving reflections
reflections of LOVE

you look at me
and I can see
reflections of infinity
shining in your eyes

reflections of grace
reflections of beauty
reflections of LOVE

Reflections in Fall * Deep Sky Musics

Having fun feeling the Jamaica beats.

Lyrics;
Everyone loves living free
Until the day they find it's lost
Time will come when everyone
Understands what freedom costs

Sometimes we all face fear
And lock our doors and hide away
Too afraid to lift our head
Of what to do or what to say

Break out from that cage
See the sun up in the sky
Gravity might hold you down
But you can let your spirit fly

The world we live can be so dark
And trust can be so hard to find
Fear and anger sieze the day
The pressure closes down the mind

If everyone is for themselves
Divided we will fall
We're stronger in this world together
All for one and one for all

Break out from the cage
See the sun up in the sky
Gravity might hold you down
But you can let your spirit fly

Break out from this cage
Unlock the chains that bind
Step out to the light
Free the soul open the mind

Break out from the cage
See the sun up in the sky
Gravity might hold you down
But you can let your spirit fly
