Ueberall Blumen - So Many Flowers - Seelengold

Hi Angelusyeux,

with such enthusiastic praise, I have to be careful not to get delusions of grandeur. How quickly one writes rash things into the world ;-)

Many thanks to you!

Hi BeatJazz,

thank you for your kind comment.

Yes, the order you mentioned is correct: The description of what we actually think we will find in space when we already have the indescribable beauty here was there first and only then did the song come; it was actually superimposed on the description and not, conversely, the description was given to the song afterwards. I am very happy if the song is perceived by you or the listener as this harmonious whole.

Kind regards

Hello Dennel,

I wouldn't really make a distinction between social and ecological.

I think that each of these terms already contains the other within it, would even think that they are synonymous with each other; one could well speak of twins.

"I personally believe that the powerful are not telling us that we have already passed the point of no return, climate change, the spirit of humanity as a whole. That's why they are desperately trying to find new planets..."

Well, that's where I would reverse the order:
This ominous belief in some paradise out there and the resulting obviously intrinsic urge of man to want to find it come hell or high water, was already there before (in 1957 my father stood with me as a toddler in the garden and a luminous point pulled above us its orbit through the night sky, Sputnik...) when one could still quite safely assume that the point of no return was not yet reached.

Nobody knows whether it has already been exceeded, but what EVERYONE can know for sure, without having to be a Nobel Prize Winner, is that maintaining the current economic model, an irresponsible eternal growth fetishism that is alien to reality, is as safe as that Amen will come to church.
In the past, the planet seekers could at best be justified intrinsically - thus rather weakly equipped in terms of argumentation - but with the concrete current/concrete upcoming missed reversal point, an incomparably harder argument is possible according to the motto:
"You see what awaits us, should we remain idle and everyone perish here?"

If you want to get/earn money, this "right" market economy argument becomes more convincing as the urgency for action increases...

Many thanks to you for listening and your thoughts!

Best regards

Hello,

"We are greedy" - No! So generally the sentence is not true! A PART of mankind is greedy, can't get the neck full enough, yes! And the other - not greedy - part of mankind lets itself dominate by the former. And it is good that the resistance against the planet destroyers becomes bigger and bigger.

Thank you for your comment!

Hello to you,

"...I was feeling the words on it".

My first thought: great! And then quantum mechanics - "entangled quantum particles seem to 'know' about each other, even if they are far away from each other" - came to my mind.... "spooky distant effect", because my song actually also has lyrics, which I didn't finalize, but which correspond with the musical realization and without which the song wouldn't have come about at all. Beautiful when it communicates itself in its entirety like that.

I really don't lean much towards spirituality, but "that there are more things between heaven and earth than...", I believe that too.

I already knew your CONCERTO IN THE KEY OF E, but of course I listened to it again. Yes, this is classical music, perfectly realized with musical and technical skill. Compared to this, my work in its entirety is of course rather of a simple nature. In this respect, I am definitely sailing under false sails, because it is not really classical in itself, but of all the genres offered, it is best placed there; all the others fit even less.
Music reaches me primarily through the emotional level, purely, without my head being involved in any way. I like your piece too, but there I listen with head accompaniment, it's different from pure.

Thank you so much for your comment !

Hello Wayne,

things are tricky, but I can't help myself: When I hear "Wayne" I immediately see John Wayne in front of me. Then you get an idea of what actually means socialization, what enormous force is at work.

A beautiful picture that you have painted to my track there, it fits very well, thank you!

After your tip on chords, I've done some research on it and I think I can at least say a sentence or two about it now, should someone ask me about it. But the more you know, the more complicated things get, and I'm not at all sure now if chords really improve my puritan piano tracks or just puff them up with no actual added value.

By the way, your "Kansas City" actually gets better and better with each repeated listen, great. And it also became very clear to me with that song that rock music needs a certain minimum volume. If it remains under this, it remains thin and pale, can not even unfold in its enormous power.
Oh, to "Its Kansas City, USA, Baby", how this hint, this clarification is said, spoken, from whom to whom, oh, I could write a whole treatise on that now. But that would go beyond the scope of this article. But simply wonderful.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

Kind regards
