Stunningly beautiful...
I wish I listened to these in order now....
You write a real journey bro!
A storey I want to hear!
The way you condense each section into easily digestible parts is a fine skill!
Every change comes at just the right point to my ears....
Love it!
Широко, задумчиво, и конечно, в одном стиле. Я работаю в двух направлениях: этническом и эстрадном. Есть группа музыкантов, с которыми мы пишем аранжировки. Записи с концертов есть на youtube. Спасибо за ваши комментарии!!!)))
The long sustain on the piano and the Moorish progressions do give this a "warm desert" feel, very contemplative and soothing. The flute accompaniment was a nice touch... I'd love to meet the flute player, she has quite a set of lungs (smirk)... those are some long un-interrupted passages of notes... that, plus the quiet beauty of this kept me holding my breath. Nice!

Great cover! Manzarek had the ability to hold down the bass line (the Doors didn't have a bassist) and do those wonderful Bach-ish runs simultaneously. You've got that going on here too.
This is a great version, and I really enjoyed it! It's quit uncanny, but I just recently listened to Robby Krieger's "Versions", in which he covered his band's song as well. JM is great, but for some reason I always loved this one as an instrumental.
Very good piano playing, my friend!
Frozen eyes....
and like the wail of a crying child...
she grieves for what is lost to her...
finding solace in a shared moment....
she absently brushes the thought away....
there is no beauty in the sky....
or warmth on her face…
Celebrating my 1 yr. on this site. This just came out of the blue. Nothing planned here.
Thanks to all of you for your support and listening ears!

simply beautiful,, sometimes those that just appear of their own accord can be the most amazing,, on a tech note is this only recorded in mono? i was listening, and then switched headphones but still only have mono,, love the flurrishes after the 4 min mark,,,, always a fun way to add a bit of drama,, well done,, richard
This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…
Here we go, a tender little rocker from the broom-cupboard...

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)
A doodle that couldn't be left and a pondering thought of a love story that's going wrong always makes a song...so here it is.....on the old Acoustic .....

For the first time I see

At once, Arise

Oh dark and glorious! Brilliant!!
Mesmerizing arpeggios... intriguing to hear the melody rise out of it all.
Another flashing chance at bliss...I love The Doors, this is a very creative cover -

Все композиции повествуют (рассказывают) о чём-то жизненном, важном...
Интересный инструментальный дуэт, задумчивый и филосовский...

Quiet,but takes me oh so deep. Beautiful

yes, beautiful! Lovely contemplative feel.
Nice one mate great sound.
I enjoyed this album Richard. Very pleasant. A bit of charm, some class, and some top notch piano playing.
I'm still waiting for a left handed piano. I want the keys to go the other way :)
Gorgeous!
