This has a different feel from the others I have heard and reheard tonight, but the piano has the same role as "Defenders of the Heart", vocals are also very theatrical.

Interesting change here. Piano is a bit Elton John. (a compliment, btw)

Hello friends! Hope you enjoy my piano composition....
Thanks for listening....

The following poem is one of my favorites by Baudelaire, that I feel mirrors the sentiment of the piece...

The Ruined Garden

My childhood was only a menacing shower,
cut now and then by hours of brilliant heat.
All the top soil was killed by rain and sleet,
my garden hardly bore a standing flower.
From now on, my mind's autumn! I must take
the field and dress my beds with spade and rake
and restore order to my flooded grounds.
There the rain raised mountains like burial mounds.
I throw fresh seeds out. Who knows what grows?
What elements will give us life and food?
This soil is irrigated by the tides.
Time and nature sluice away our lives.
A virus eats the heart out of our sides,
digs in and multiplies on our lost blood



The Ruined Temple

Holding Out For The Moon

Music/Lyrics WILD&WELSH ©


Verse 1.

 If you are the lighthouse - Then I am its keeper
 I tend your lights as you shine on through
 Little offers - In your appealing way 
The sea forms a path, which I walk to great you 
Then you form a boat out of those openhearted shells 
You float on by

 Chorus 

You just dont care - That the day hides your beauty
 But when the night falls - The man in me  - Calls too soon
 I'm holding out for the moon – For the moon  - For the moon 

Verse 2.

What kind of wandering fear - Motivates and keeps me here 
In a place that’s never warm - I sit and I wait 
Softly you come into sight - I take you here - You tame the night 
In your melancholy ways - You lay me down 

Chorus 

You just don’t care - That the day hides your beauty
 But when the night falls - The man in me - Calls too soon
 I'm holding out for the moon – For the moon – For the Moon

I'm holding out for the - I'm holding out for the  Moon – For the Moon – For The Moon – For the Moon

On The Word Of No One

The Alternative

New Beginnings is a song of inspiration, motivation, hope, peace, patriotism, & a celebration of life. 

Lyrics:

The moon has gone away
The sun has come to play
I thought about you now
Just the other day
I wouldn’t have it any other way

We always focus on
The past and where we’ve been
Instead of looking for
The road and what lies ahead
Another roller coaster of a ride

And so we go
Through the valley and the sea
And so we know
There’s more in life to be 
I will start
In new beginnings

This song is a message for
The broken, battered, and bruised
The ones still fighting for
The things we don’t want to lose
A never-ending war of hopes and dreams

This song is a call to arms
So pick yourself off the floor
A tale of broken hearts
The wounds are waiting to heal
It’s time to fight for life that you deserve

And so we go
Through the valley and the sea
And so we know
There’s more in life to be 
I will start
In new beginnings
Yeah
I will start
In new beginnings

New Beginnings (Demo)

This song “Cheer Down” is a (cover) tribute too and composed by George Harrison.
Almost 4 years ago, Hemmo and John recorded (and released) the Japanese album version: 
https://soundcloud.com/onevision-crossworlds/john-styles-age-r-cheer-down

We wanted to do it all over again, and checked all 7 versions we could find on the net, and on the rarity track’s album Jeff Lynne released, 2 versions stood out for us, and we choose the UK single version to redo / record all over again from scratch, we might do the (rare extended) orchestral version later on as well.

This song is also know as theme-song on the soundtrack for the movie “Lethal Weapon 2”, it turned up on the teasers (promotions) for the film unexpectedly, but was recognized as such afterwards.
Cheer Down was created during a jam session between George Harrison and Tom Petty who both wrote the lyrics on an idea (composition) George already had, as a country rock song, but it ended up on the shelf as it didn’t sounded the way it is now, only when Jeff Lynne heard this rough version, George and Jeff decided to re-arrange it as this version now, Jeff continued making / mixing down more different versions.
George wife Olivia came up with the title of the song, with her saying: : "Okay, cheer down, big fellow," when he would get too enthusiastic”.

It’s not known how this song ended up as a soundtrack too, it might have to do with what Jeff Lynne already did for the movies “Xanadu” and “Electric Dreams”, it was decided after the final cut editing of the movie. 
In an interview, George said the song sounded completely different after Jeff started working with it.

While we were listening to all those different versions, Hemmo and John noticed how many different harmonies were used to complete them, even the instruments sounded and were played differently from each other, it took us 16 different mixes to get this version to both our satisfaction, but to get it right we had to replay and record all the tracks all over again from scratch, also to get all the harmonies sound good too.
When all the tracks were done, the mixing process started, but this time we multi-layered them instead of using volume and panning additions, and still have this (clear) massive power, we hope you all like it too.
We always have big fun working together, and Hemmo’s talent is well known to most of you, making music is fun again for us both, especially remaking all these earlier releases we’ve done in a new coat, and this time as a band effort with Euphoriqa, we hope the other guys will join us some day soon too.
As said before, making music must be fun, and we’re so happy Hemmo found it back again too.

Euphoriqa - Cheer Down (tribute to George Harrison)

Lately it seems like the whole world is going nuts,
this song is about all the suicidal terrorist nutters out there ...
please wake me from this wicked dream

MikeyLow - A Wicked Dream

I got something to say
What's wrong with the world today
somehow I've landed in this idiocracy
please let me wake, from this wicked dream

The image of a most disturbing scene
an unholy war, a desperate act it seems
They plant a seed, fed by hatred and despair
A promised land is where they hope to end

I've fallen down to my knees,
my hands towards the sky, so many reasons why
that i lost all hope , humanity's down the slope
honestly, could things be any worse

Somehow I've come to believe
that armageddon lurks beneath
The world is burning as we speak
The only outcome seems to be defeat
Honestly , could things be any worse
In the end we might get what we deserve ...

A Wicked Dream

We can spend all our lives by walking in our own shadows trying to fight them until one day life will not help us to make the choice that will forever change us: to turn our gaze towards the light illuminating our shadows to make them disappear. 
Ancient times and centuries and centuries of experience. But we never got lost. There are unbreakable bonds created by invisible forces that unite two beings in a continuous connection.
Inspired by “Shadows and light” novel.
