This is SO cool! They don't write them like this anymore.

What is your own best and/or special song or track this year? 

Let's do group AUTO-PORTRAIT, musical SELFIE, so to speak :)

Please share in my post on the Facebook or send me your track in PM. Thanks for the great support from friends, we lucky and happy to get a like or a comment. Same time, it's very interesting to find out what YOU guys think of YOUR OWN music? So friends can say "yes, I love it too!", or go "wow, how come did I miss it?" :)  I will recollect the SoundCloud tracks into the playlist below. It will be interesting group selfie, I think! :D

ApproachToSilence_2023

Rising Springtime

An ode to the power of Romans, and Romans knew no boundaries. When they expanded their realm to the Hadrian's wall, where they met wild men, wearing longer skirts, waving longer swords, the question if they had mightier genitals could historically never been solved. Was that the boundaries for the Romans?


PROLOGUE

Come on, free men of Rome!
Don’t you want your life adventure?
Fight for freedom, fight for the free republic
Give your life some meaning and force

We will conquer the outskirts of the known world
We will civilise the most rebellious tribes
You’ll be a hero in the first row

Fight for glory, fight for the free republic
So join the legion of Rome
Get your spear
And join the legion right now


Verse 1

Join the legion get your spear
The republic to prevail
Fight for Rome and there’s no fear
Thousand soldiers shouting „hail“

Cross the Alps and go to France
Roman standart sexy flirt
Hannibal and elephants
Muscle calves and mini skirt


Prechorus 1

We are hard cause we don’t care
So don’t mess with Roman legionnaire
Flank will storm with deadly horse
You provoked so then of course


Ref 1

Everybody in a row
You’re the hero shout and fight and go
Fuck yourself and go to hell
Penis envy infidel


Verse 2

From Egypt to the Hadrian’s wall
Blonde and straight or black and curled
Barbarians, we like them all

But Rome is the center of the world
From Persia to Atlantic sea
Turtle shields tight formation
Total power domination

Pain immortal legionnaire
Warrior kilt and Claymore sword
Don’t you stare for underwear
Highland legion overlord


[Melody Excess]


Ref 2

Everybody in a row
You’re the hero, shout and fight and go
Penis short Bavarian
This is not Frank Farian

Everybody in a row (everybody in a row)
Fuck yourself and go to hell
Penis envy infidel (penis envy infidel)

You’re the hero, shout and and fight and go!

Penis Envy Infidel

A Little Rain

Sometime you just need to put songs together and let it go.

Don't You Dare To Call Me In The Morning

The Power Of Love

The Power Of Love - cover ( Charlie and the Fox )

My Friend Raphael Muhr sent me this beautiful piece of music and aske me if i could put some lyrics to it, i played it a few times and the lyrics just seemed to write themselves as i listened, Words of Hope and self belief, of being true to our heart's and tapping into the Magic in our souls. I must admit i struggled to sing this song, Lacking the vocal training and the self belief but Raphael  believed in me more that i believed in Myself. Thank you my friend for the beautiful music and for your belief in Me ,i am truly Grateful. Hope i have done your beautiful Melody Justice .

Don’t close your eyes and have no fear. 
You must be Brave for the Magic to Appear.
Believe, be strong and you will see. 
The Magic inside of you will set you free.

Don’t be chained by your fears, you must be strong. 
Stay true, trust your heart for you belong. 

Chorus 
Stay true to your heart and you will see. 
The magic inside of you will set you free. 
Stay true to your heart and have no fear. 
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Don’t close your heart or you might stray. 
Don’t close your eyes or you’ll surely lose your way. 

Chorus 
Stay true to your heart and you will see. 
The magic inside of you will set you free. 
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Stay True To Your Heart, Music by Raphael Muhr, Lyrics by Johnny Mc Farlane

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails".  St. Paul continues his treatise on love to the Corinthian church--but is it true?  God help us if it is not. It is the central message of Christmas; that He becomes one of us to show us what love is in an ultimate way.  
And we celebrate glimpses; to feel the heartbeat of a loved one, to look deep into the eyes of the beloved and glimpse the soul, to hold the hand of young and old, to give aid to the helpless, hope to the hopeless, to forgive with the hope of healing.  Is it possible that acting in faith and hope is love in action?  I think so, I pray so. Merry Christmas and may you be blessed by feeling the pulse of those around you:)
A very special thank you to Seagull @farout-music-studio for his inspiration on so many projects this year, for urging me out of my playing comfort zone, and being a patient friend in all our endeavors:)  Blessings and much love to you my friend.

The Pulse Of Your Heart (Seagull, David, and Clara)

The 2023 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

Going to be a tough day today, Me Thinks!!! 🙄🤪😁😜

Well, I was completely wrong about my day!!!!  When I finally managed to leave the flat!!!  For some reason, when I've been awake all night, especially in the week, I'm always late for work!  
Usually because, 1:  I don't want to go, 2: I've picked up the drawing I'm currently doing 3: I can't go out now, Not until I've shaded in all parts I've just outlined!!! Lol and my personal favourite 4: I Really Don't Want To Go To Work Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, EVER!!!!! 😹😜🤪🦞
Anyway, after all that, I had a nice day at work today! 🤣😹😜
And I know why!  Because I was on my own, have been all week, and I fucking love It, No one hassling me, I get more work done, it's nice and quiet and there's no Drama! Just me, building a stone wall! Happy days, It won't last though.
I realised something today, or I've been re reminded, and I reckon someone is taking the piss out of me!

And, at the end of the trip, just before the amazing Ahmed Gado closing it, meet, for those who could ignore this French personage.. Amélie Poulain!! I love this movie, I love this girl!! &lt;3

Marginalia

I love impressionists (that's why Claude Monet is on the cover) and wanted to explore the same Impressionism in music. There is no single apring, all shorter strokes and drops. Rather hues and hints. The Shadows if you will :) 

Other challenge, I indulged myself was to make this SYNTH-phony, using only MOOG sounds. It was so tempting to play guitar or strings or flute. I wanted to stay focus played my favorite Arturia MiniMoog, Moog Modular, and AniMoog. Otherwise one piano, percussion made in Korg Gadget, produced in Ableton Live 9 with IK Multimedia mastering tools.

 I extracted this quote from Robert Moog, greatly respected engineer and artist of sound, from his interview available on YouTube:

"It is something between discovering and witnessing" - Robert Moog

Some parts, like the wobbly/slides/something sounds you can distinctly hear in the into, I played by hand and ear on AniMoog. This is the iPad app invented by Moog Foundation. You slide over iPad surface to design and create unique vibes and sound colors. I know, if there is someone thinking to "throw a tomato" at the iPad musicians, please prepare one for maestro Jean-Michael Jarre, he-he :D  I'm not placing myself anywhere close, of course, but was so excited, after played this AniMoog part here, to see the one JMJ video, where he is playing the same app for his number one album of the year! In one of Electronica 1 video you can see the iPad on the right, green-ish look of AniMoog. 

The cover art is a fragment of Claude Monet "Water Lilies", 1920s. I took the photo earlier this year, in Museum of Modern Art, New York. I noticed and specifically took a shot of "THE EYES" I saw (see them in right lower corner?). Nice, can spend hours when get a chance. Thank you ALL for the support!

Musically Yours.

Wonders Will Never Cease (Brian Peters)

As long as I can make amends
And turn an enemy into a friend
As long as I in love defend the peace
Wonders will never cease

As long as I can take a stand
And hold a fallen brother by the hand
As long as I can see that man increase
Wonders will never cease
-
I’m calling you
There’s a better way
I’m calling you
There’s a better way
-
As long as I can heal a wrong
Uplift the weak and purify the strong
As long as I embrace the very least
Wonders will never cease
Wonders will never cease

Wonders Will Never Cease
