Beethoven - “Moonlight Sonata” - 1st Movement - Performed by Andrew Furmanczyk

A beautiful performance of (perhaps) my favourite classical piece.

Andrew is a great young piano teacher, that provides very helpful piano lessons and a lot of motivation through his YouTube channel “Lypur”.

Various Production - Circle Of Sorrow

This is a pretty damn haunting track which really tugs at the heartstrings. The voice is pure emotion, and the mellowness of the track as a whole lowers your defences.

I’ve not been able to find the lyrics to this song anywhere online, so indulge me while I transcribe them here:

Circle of Sorrow, let me come in
Your secret affair, was whispering there
Don’t charge me a fare to go back home
It’s familiar to me, I’ll go it alone
Don’t try to wake me, but leave me to sleep
My will is strong, but my heart is weak
Hide in the shadows, I’ll find you there
Fall from the heavens, I’ll catch you in the air.

But YOU, find a home, with me
YOU, find a home, with me

Hide in the shadows, I’ll find you there,
Fall from the heavens, I’ll find you in the end
Wait by the river, that flows to the sea
Swim in the water, that brought you home to me

And you, find a home, with me
YOU, find a home, with me

Circle of Sorrow, let me come in
Your secret to bear, was whispering there
Don’t charge me any money to go back home
It’s familiar to me, I’ll go it alone

But you, find a home, with me
I said YOU, find a home, with me

Wait by the river, that flows to the sea
Swim in the water, that brought you home to me
Hide in the shadows, I’ll find you there
Fall from the heavens, and I’ll catch you in the air

Oh you, find a home, in me
You, find a home, right here with me

Anne Clark - “Our Darkness” - live @ M’era Luna 2007

Old classic song (1984!!) which never fails to amaze me and fill me with both thoughts and emotions.

Lyrics:

Through these city nightmares you’d walk with me
And we’d talk of it with idealistic assurance
That it wouldn’t tear us apart
We’d keep our heads above the blackened water
But there’s no room for ideals in this mechanical place
And you’re gone now

Through a grimy window that I can’t keep clean
Through billowing smoke that’s swallowed the sun
You’re nowhere to be seen

Do you think our desires still burn
I guess it was desires that tore us apart
There has to be passion
A passion for living, surviving
And that means detachment
Every-body has a weapon to fight you with
To beat you with when you are down
There were too many defence between us
Doubting all the time
Fearinf all the time
Doubting all the time
Fearing all the time
That like these urban nightmares
We’d blacken each other skies

When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there
Of written threats on endless walls
Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls
Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain
It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes
That we left behind
It rains even harder now…

Nightwish - “Sleeping Sun”

Tarja Turunen, the ex-singer of Nightwish in a beautiful, inspiring song. How can any other singer that ever replaces her (currently it’s Annete Olzon) compete with that?

Lyrics:

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night time
to last for a life-time
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you…

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I’d sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet’s play
Until there’s nothing left to say

I wish for this[…]

There’s hope ahead…

De/Vision - “New Drug” (1998)

One my all-time favourites!

Lyrics:

I lost my sight when I got stun
I never bleeded so
Do I slide into vice
Till I’m gone?

You’re like a dive into the wild
Like poems holding me
As gentle as a new born child
At night

Then sorrow breaks
The silent spell
My mind is clearing up
And takes me back
Into my shell
Back to hell

I hope you
Won’t see me through
Like I do
I can’t get
You out of my mind
I see still I’m blind

I hope you
Won’t see me through
Like I do
I can’t get
Me out of this hug
Just be my new drug

Clan of Xymox - “Internal Darkness”

I prefer the remix in the “Remixes from the Underground” album but I can’t find it online at the moment.

Dark but incredibly poetic lyrics, covering so many aspects and feelings: nostalgia, loneliness, introversy, dreaming, growing up, regrets and changes. I find I can apply their meaning into various situations I’ve found myself in my life.

Lyrics:

Sunshine, I wait for dawns recurrent light
I ponder in my narrow house and warm myself
Moonlight, calmly shines through the night
I stare at these old photographs, my heart beats fast

Im find no peace to read or write
My soul is lost, my spirits down
Theres no one in the dark
My little world has lost its light

The dim serene, I cant escape at all and my thoughts reveal
I cant forget the better days behind closed doors
Im still confused and longing for

Behind these lowered window blinds
Im holding back the tears and find
I think I shall never know
Why Im like this and you are so

We all grow, what happened through the years where dreams lie still
I tried to change it all and found dreams lie dead
I cant redo it all again

Homemade chicken soup.

It might not seem like special to you but it was to me! And it was delicious!

Thanks to Claire for the recipe (particularly the idea to put spaghetti in it).
