Description : This is another poem that comes from my past years of intense worry, looking for answers. I believe some answers were given and maybe I came a bit closer to how I would like me to be.
As a poem it is somehow aphoristic, but this is how it was written, I cannot change it now. I am not so aphoristic by now, things change, everything flows.

If you have time take a listen and give AnthonyAttard some feedback.
Anthony, this piece carries such incredible depth-its more than just poetry, it feels like a journey of thoughts and emotions woven together so beautifully. The way you've expressed yourself really pulls the reader in and makes them reflect. Truly powerful work, brother.
Thank you Richard, thank you so much for your appreciation and your kind manners. I like it when you say the poem makes the reader reflect, then it is the time of our communication. Then it is when you give and take.
Best wishes, Anthony
I really liked Anthony; the music and the integration of the poem into it was supreme to me. I've read that you're going to publish poems in Greek and Italian, and I'd love to hear them in Spanish as well. I can help you with that if you need it ;-)
I love Spanish, due to the vicinity to the Italian (that lets me understand a bit) and the temperament of this language, so vivid and melodic. I will soon upload this poem (El sol del silencio) and of course I would like it in Spanish. I think you will better understand it from the Italian narration and it would also be great if you could narrate the poem, so I can add it to the existing ones. Thanks a lot for the visit and your comments, I am really glad that you want to collaborate on this.
Best regards, Anthony
Hi Anthony
I think you didd a great job.
I know how it is when you need to speak or sing in In another language.
I know how difficult it is sometimes to make your words understandable to others because you can hear them clearly yourself, knowing the lyrics.
You're not a vocalist, so I think you definitely did a good job.
The poem is beautiful just the way it is. You wrote down your feelings at the time, and you shouldn't change anything about that.
Hello Rita
Thank you for being so supportive.
I do understand it is difficult to narrate or sing properly in a foreign language. And it is not just spoken words, it is with music which means you have to achieve a certain level of integration to the music. That needs extra skills and so on.
It is an effort of communicating my thoughts.
A small book that would contain my poems would have the beauty and charm of paper and the chosen typing characteristics. Maybe a picture or two.
Here on LM we use sound and I have to copy with that.
I will try with AI voices (actually I have prepared a beautiful poem named "The sun of silence" with three differnet voices, each one for the Greek, the English and the Italian language). Their narration is reeally clear. In some cases one needs to intervene to the text in various ways so that things would sound as natural as it could be .
But it is fascinating, really interesting and enjoyable, at least to me. When I get the message that the community liked, one way or another, what I presented, I am realy pleased.
Of course I listen to every member that took the time to write to me, this is the other interesting thing that happens during this procedure. Very, very interesting.
We are among the lucky ones that time is given to them to spend it on these things. True luck Rita. Thanks again for the visit and the beautiful comments.
Best wishes, Anthony
Greetings, I do love sometimes spoken word pieces from time to time. But to be honest. It was because i was reading the lyrics sheet. Otherwise i wouldnt even understand a thing out of it to be honest. Also those 2 voices in it confused it even more and made it more unclear. But i know the intention is good here. But to me it sounded prety messy. I needed to listen really hard to make sense out of it. Still what i read in the lyric sheet did shed some light on this. But anyway, keep on creating. And have a good one though, Verdi
Hello Verdi
I think it is a bit messy too, with the two voices but honestly the intention is to read the lyrics. It is a poem and I am very satisfied when is read. I am not a narrator or a vocalist. To tell you the truth I've been working on another poem and I have used AI voices. The dilemma is if I should try to accompany the voice in Greek or not, just because I wrote the poem and the music. It is creative and I enjoy the fact that these poems reach an audience, it is not strictly in written form. I agree with you though that this one is a bit messy. I also do not know if the idea of just writing the poem in the lyrics section escorted by the music written upon it, would be an acceptable way of presentation.
I really hope the written form did the job (you see it is a translation and in such casrs there is always a distance from the native language).
Tutto O.K, come dicono gli amici Italiani !
Best wishes, Anthony
Thank you Dan
It is do pleasing to know you liked it. It is pleasing because I do know it is dark at some point but you do see the light too, which is why I do this stuff .
Best regards, Anthony
Hello Fanis
Thanks a lot, after so many years these poems live again. It is a new way, it is not ink and paper but it is a way and I enjoy the procedure. I am tought by the A.I in translating and rendering these poems in the English and Italian language. It is something that would have taken way more time and perhaps with inaccurate results. Now I discuss with sophisticated creation and all I need to transfer to the new language version of the poem, is really transferred. There is an exchange of opinions and this makes the whole thing fascinating. Then it is the music...well here the rhymes give the pace, it is clearly a matter of emotions and mood you are in.
Much love brother!!
Hello
They are of course personal thoughts of a certain period of my life, so yes they may be provoking and poignant, even aphoristic, but by now I see things less critically for not being the judge. It is not that the world and people changed, it is rather I' ve changed. We don't have to be caustic for being understood, at least by those who we want to come in touch.
In cases silence may give better results.
Best regards, Anthony
Hello AnthonyAttard, man this is some incredible self reflection and thought, the music itself is quite an addition to this piece and fits so well....you've put together a very interesting and powerful work here and my hats off to you my brother, its a great piece of work.
Thank you Glenn
I really appreciate the fact that you listened to my spoken thoughts and something interesting came up. This way I get a message to continue and this I like a lot.
Best regards, Anthony
Anthony, Its amazing how you captured a solid cinematic atmosphere. It would be great if this had imagery. This is open honest and transparent. Great cadence.
Peace,
Mark
Anthony i say again i like this side of you, your poems are exquisite, they are deep and carry weight and feeling, i like the double vox too, but if you give just a single vocal in a couple of areas to expressive words or a sentence, it would carry even further, there is nothing wrong as is, its just a tip, change, adds variety and character, you have a nice voice with good spoken English your grammar is good, continue on your upward spiral, remember your representing Greece, this isn't the Eurovision song contest, this is world song contest we need to add as much culture this is a great spoken piece and another fine listen
Hello Paul
You know I am really glad to read your comments. You always listen with care and your advise is thoughtful. I will say I can't really see it like some kind of a competition. I do not want to see it this way. I try to be accepted as a creator something that gives me joy. Competition brings anxiety and I've had and still have enough in other parts of my life. Let it be a bit loose on LM. I always love my country and I try not to be considered as a non good example but I do not know if representation is accepted since not chosen and approved. Let it be loose Paul, after all I strongly believe we all stand with dignity here on LM representing ourselves or our band (if any). I am so glad you liked my thoughts my friend. It has been a reason for a nice conversation.
Best regard, Anthony
Hello Zoot
It is part of my emotional and rational world, I mean the rhymes and music...they accompany me in various ways.
Thank you for your time to listen and comment on my music and my thoughts.
Best regard, Anthony
How did I miss this? Beautiful verse and tune - your vocal has a raw emotion which transmits v well amongst the cords - I love that Oriental 'wise' vibe going through it - reminds me of Confucius ' A wise man seeks by music to strengthen his soul: the thoughtless one uses it to stifle his fears.' Good job, Anthony
Hello to both of you
Thank you for your kind words. This Oriental vibe, as it reflected on you, has not been intentional. Let's say it is raw material. I am really glad it brought to your mind wise words. It is a good sideeffect..!
Best regards, Anthony

Description : We've reached the limit of LM. Some songs will have to be removed but there are things left yet. I have to complete my "album" and I'd like very much to show to you a nice idea which includes poetry. I've had a conversation with chat GPT about a poem of mine and it gave me a suggestion of a musical presentation of such poems. There are more so I dared to try the idea. Great help in rendering the poem to English (not a translation word by word) and cool ideas about the setup of the audio file.

Description : Spoken Word with Rhythm. It's a song about dedication and being there for the one you love. People can easily say what they are going to do but not really mean any of the words. I learned a hard lesson in that today.
Description : I was writing another type of track and this "Spoken Word" I ran across kinda hi-jacked the track. At least I'll have the Genre right this time.

Description : Something a bit different (is it?) based on a poetry piece from Arthur Rimbaud.
