Song Meanings : Music All Around and A Song To Remember

 23 October 2014

So here it is! Some of them quite personal to me or someone close to me.
 
Song Meanings:


 
Album : Music All Around

 








Omega Centauri
This song was inspired by the “Omega Centauri” Galaxy. The immense power of God’s creation, colours bursting with energy.
 
The Time Traveller
I imagined myself being a time traveller...

Contemplating
A melody reminiscing in my head, building up to something spectacular!
Inspired from a song in the late 70’s.
A somewhat small connection between the two songs, but quite significant to me
 
Lost for Words
A melody that derived from the same idea as “A song to remember”
A haunting, but yet promising and hopeful tune…
 
The Journey
When I composed this song I pictured myself tied in front of locomotive.
I try to express the adrenaline rush throughout this song. 
 
Dark sonata
A sonata in a minor key. 
 
Beethoven’s Fifth
Not a song traditionally played on a piano, but I did it !
 
Sad Blue sky
This song is very personal and it’s about a relative. He fell ill with a painful disease. I imagined him experiencing this and the pain, looking up at the sad blue sky. Don't listen to this song if you are feeling sad.
 
Music All Around
The title track from my album. This song was born a couple of years ago, but it never felt right until this album.
 
Serenity
This song is all about serenity.
 
Collapse
Everything around you falls apart, but there is still a tiny bit of hope...
 
The Portal
Imagine yourself walking through a portal that transports you to a different place or time…
 
 
 
 

 
Album: A Song to Remember
 









A Song To Remember
The first waltz you would dance to at your wedding. A new beginning …
 
Jupiter (from the Planets)
My favourite movement from the “Planets”. A masterpiece composed by Gustav Holst. You’ll notice 2 pianos layered over one another.
A Boesendorfer Imperial 290 Grand and a Yamaha Concert Grand.
 
Pride
This entire album was recorded in memory of my late Grandmother. Her pride and honour throughout her life. This emotion reflected in this song.
 
Leave Us Behind
With this composition I tried to express how you would feel when you’ve lost a family member through death. The feeling that you were left behind…
 
The Misty Valley.
Edward Grieg’s famous melody. I imagine giants and trolls living in caves on a mountain, and hiding under bridges.
 
The Last Road Travelled
I was fortunate enough to spend my very last and special trip with my Grandmother.
 
My Eden
The promise of Eden. A melody of hope and inspiration
 
Prelude in C minor
A funeral song by Chopin.
 
Memories Of You
Remembering someone you’ve lost and how the memories become faded.
 
I Am Calling
A song trying to find true love. You don't know this person yet....
 
The Wedding Prayer
Wedding bliss and promise of happiness
 
Ode to June
An ode to my birth month.
 
My home is you
A love song for your soul mate. “ We could live anywhere, but you are my home”
 
As jy die son kan onder kry
Another love song explaining endless love. You’ll never be able to stop the sun from rising in morning. A simile of your undying love for someone
