Out of the abyss

Recorded from church this morning. A Samba arrangement by Craig Curry of Shall We Gather At The River. Played by Ramiro (piano) and myself (djembe).

Shall We Gather At The River

This is an orchestration of "The Last of Us" from Naughty Dog's game of the same title. I love Gustavo Santoalalla's soundtrack and wanted to experiment with a nice simple orchestration of this track. Hopefully I added a bit of my own style while retaining the feel of the original.

Discovery And Recovery

Original music set to the first encounter of Beren and Lúthien. 

“It is told in the Lay of Leithian that Beren came stumbling into Doriath grey and bowed as with many years of woe, so great had been the torment of the road. But wandering in the summer in the woods of Neldoreth he came upon Lúthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, at a time of evening under moonrise, as she danced upon the unfading grass in the glades beside Esgalduin. Then all memory of his pain departed from him, and he fell into an enchantment; for Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Iluvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight. As the light upon the leaves of trees, as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world, such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light. 

But she vanished from his sight; and he became dumb, as one that is bound under a spell, and he strayed long in the woods, wild and wary as a beast, seeking for her. In his heart he called her Tinuviel, that signifies Nightingale, daughter of twilight, in the Grey-elven tongue, for he knew no other name for her. And he saw her afar as leaves in the winds of autumn, and in winter as a star upon a hill, but a chain was upon his limbs.”

Wake:
I find myself beside your hospital bed
bright lights reveal your eyes
still closed as they have been before

I smell the scent of jasmine filling the room
your nose might catch its drift, drawing, intoxicating

I try having one-sided dialogs now,
your ears should sense my tone
stroking them as it whispers:
open your eyes and say that you hear me! don't make me wait 
anymore.

I call softly for sleeping beauty - arise!
(unwise) 
I try to improvise: I'm asking louder - 
open your eyes and say that you hate me! don't make me wait anymore.

Waiting 
for your unplanned
waking
while I pretend 
taking 
so long to have you with me is a burden I can stand

I see Frankie between some records I brought
he asked you for a dance, but you declined politely

I rub lightly the tip of your cotton gown
so thin that with no words
my hands could tell your skin to
open your eyes and say that you want me to leave

Waiting 
for your unplanned
waking
while I pretend 
taking 
so long to have you with me is a burden I can stand

we'd go dancing and be just like Fred and Ginger
(I'll even let you lead if you don't like my moves)
and then I'd give you flowers - the ones you love, that go with your evening dress
we'd hold hands at the movies and make faces as Tracy and Hepburn kiss 
we'd share ice-cream for dinner, and I could tell you all about when I had hopes for me to stop

waiting 
for your unplanned 
waking, 
while I pretend 
taking 
so long to have you with me is a burden I can stand
