I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
And then I closed my heart for a moment.

You, barely coping, and on me leaning,
To me I lost your words' meaning, 
'cause I turned away for just a minute
Then troubled waters flooding in,
And there I was, about to, 
To let you go.

What cruel lesson broke my heart?
What left me dying but loving your art?
Don't have to think of it now,
I can always be the one,
So, let me in and set me free
You must not leave... before me. 

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
And closed my eyes for just a moment.

You, barely coping, and on me leaning,
To me I lost your words' meaning, 
'cause I closed my eyes for just a minute
Then troubled waters flooding in,
And there I was, about to, 
To let you go.

A cruel lesson broke my heart 
What left me dying but loving your art?
Don't have to think of it now,
I can always be the one,
So, let me in and set me free
You must not leave before me. 

I got days now
I don't want to think about it
All my days
All alone, while
Hurt leads to hurt,
But the flames of eternal love never noticed
The flames of eternal love never noticed.


All My Days

(Verse 1)
I say words don’t mean much,
not when the truth’s been burned.
You tried to build it back with silence,
but silence never learned.
The cracks still show through every promise,
like scars that never fade,
and every time you reach for faith,
You find the trust was never made.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come quick,
and it won’t return clean —
but if I stand my ground,
You might believe again.

(Verse 2)
We keep talkin’ ‘bout new beginnings,
but the past won’t let us go.
Every truth sounds like forgiveness
that we’re scared to show.
I ain’t sayin’ it’s all broken,
just sayin’ it’s been rough —
to make your heart believe again,
Haven't I bled enough.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come cheap,
and it won't return clean —
but if I stay long enough,
You might believe again.

(Bridge)
Maybe time’s the only proof we get,
maybe words can’t fix regret.
But every hand you hold,
every truth you keep —
it builds what we both forget.

(Outro)
So don’t promise me forever,
just stand here till it’s true.
’Cause trust don’t start with talking —
it starts with you.

Trust Again

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my tracks, the most of the representing a  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and in addition to them, also to a minor but growing  LISTS of MY MY OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music, & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
Veikko
