It may be dark but there is light on the horizon. The darkness is ephemeral.

Ephemeral

Like a lot of us these days, I have some extra hours on my hands. While looking to amuse myself at this most unamusing time, I made this. I hope it cheers you, too, and provides a few minutes pleasure. That is all it is for.

This music is also my version of whistling past the graveyard. One of many versions.

Please stay healthy. And let us be strong, and pick each other up when one of us is down.

Never Been More Beautiful

For my wife of 21 years, Kimberly, same last name. She is a true kind-hearted inspiration to me, who has been there for me like I could not even imagine. When we started, we were juts dreams and will, and to see that get shaped into a family is more than this guitar player could have ever dreamed of. Now having a family is not an easy task, the luckiest people still deal with stress, as the Buddha said, life is suffering, but as a  young man, I saw no way forward as both an artist and a family man, and thank God I was wrong about my own capabilities. 
Last night my son told me he wanted to minor in art, he is already teaching himself music now, and that is how it goes, we pass our dreams down like we do our virtues and failings and that is life. 
So the other day,  while working on our front garden next to my studio,  I was sure that Kim was more beautiful than the first moment I saw her, because now there is so much more, so much trust and a willingness to take chances, explore options and see the next stage of our lives and our love open up. Same team, same bad, dark sense on humor, same friendship.
We are both shit out on work, because of covid 19 and I dont think we have ever spent more time with each other; and its really good. So take a chance on love if it presents it self, It works out if you bet the right horse, it pays out triple. Tripple!!

Never Been More Beautiful

You and I 
traded in our youth
for a child
then there was 
another
Out of the whole cloth
of dreams and perspiration 
we carved a life
with each other
We left the envy 
and the smalltalk
at the door
so we could learn
each other 
And on this fine spring day
It this warm clear light
Its so clear to me    
You are like 
no other

You've Never been more beautiful to me
take a minute wont you sit by my side 
You've Never been more beautiful to me
take a minute wont you sit by my side 

I know where I was before
I was not lost 
but you brought more
More than my life could ever hope to be

You were what I was searching for
We built a life
Who could need much more
more than anyone could ever need

You've Never been more beautiful to me
take a minute wont you sit by my side 
You've Never been more beautiful to me
take a minute wont you sit by my side

Never Been More Beautiful

Poem: To the Bluebell
by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

Sacred watcher, wave thy bells!
Fair hill flower and woodland child!
Dear to me in deep green dells—
Dearest on the mountains wild.

Bluebell, even as all divine
I have seen my darling shine—
Bluebell, even as wan and frail
I have seen my darling fail—
Thou hast found a voice for me,
And soothing words are breathed by thee.

Thus they murmur, “Summer's sun
Warms me till my life is done.
Would I rather choose to die
Under winter's ruthless sky?

“Glad I bloom and calm I fade;
Weeping twilight dews my bed;
Mourner, mourner, dry thy tears—
Sorrow comes with lengthened years!”

To The Bluebell. Eric Dartel and Oddrun Eikli. Bass: Philippe Noharet, Drums: Alexandre Esperet

Dino is the bass player of a cover band I play with - during the lockdown he sent us a jam track he just made on the band chat. I requested the whole project, and after a weekend of recording, editing, re-arranging and buying a slide bottleneck, the result turned out to be a cliché song about the two things most important for Italians: food and football. If you think the lyrics don't make much sense: yes, we know.

EASIER THAN LOVE         

2020 Janine Levinson 

There are simpler things In life than love
Like a blue sky calling when you're waking up
Or a flower when it opens from a bud 
Easier and prettier than love

It's simpler to enjoy a walk outside
Or taste a piece of fruit that sweet and ripe
But try explaining why we stay to fight
There's something here that just won't be denied

It's love making us irrational
It's love turns us into criminals
It's love that makes us act like animals
It's love.  it's indefensible.

There are smarter things for hearts to do than love
Like keeping time and pumping us with blood
If we dare to let our hearts dip into feeling 
As quicksand, we are pulled into the mud

It's love making things impossible
It's love and sometimes it feels terrible
But only love can make us feel so wonderful
It's love, and it's unbearable

It's not the same for everyone
It's one day pain and one day fun
But its been the same since time began
A paradox we're driven to
It's like a counterclockwise screw
We fall in love and it can't be undone, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

There are simpler things In life than love
Like a clear day, blue sky hovering above
Or a flower when it opens from a bud ....
Prettier and easier than love

The winter snow arrived early and this very beautiful photo inspired me this song.
This beautiful white snow hides all the sufferings of a completely disoriented nature.

ICE RIVER

frozen river,
your wicks of silver,
dig in the snow,
looking now,
the last heat,
the last beats,
of a fiery summer,
devouring the earth ...

this beautiful white coat,
gives us false illusions,
this truth that we loathe,
which brings us back to reason
which brings us back to reason 
to reason
to reason......

Ice River

Hope you'll enjoy our first track using the project name Passion Arcade!

Who knows what's going on when the paws start twitching and the whiskers go into overdrive. Then the rapid motions subside and all is calm - for a while.

Just to let you know, we've changed our project name to Passion Arcade as we felt it described us better as a couple, and it having an 80s reference in there at the same time, just as our music (hopefully!).  Thanks for listening to our music!
Annie & Sander

Passion Arcade came into existence when Annie Smart (@annie-smart-1) and Sander Heerings (Wane of Summer @wane-of-summer) joined forces in 2019 to create some synthpop tracks. In no time we coughed up 12 tracks, so we decided to go for an album :)

Passion Arcade: 
Annie Smart - vocals, backing vocals
Sander Heerings - synths, programming, production
