Itzhak Perlman – Advice on practicing and over-practicing

Reid Walley — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:44:41 +0000

Itzhak Perlman’s awesome advice on practicing: Practice slowly! “If you learn something slowly you forget it slowly. If you learn something very quickly you forget it immediately.” And his advice for not over-practicing: 5-hours maximum. With each hour being a 50-min hour, with 10 mins of rest.

Erik Satie – Gymnopédie 1

Reid Walley — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 07:05:19 +0000

Yeah, this is the best “floating” music. Totally makes my heart cry, if I’m not careful. But careful can sometimes be the wrong direction. Sometimes we need to float – to discover, to feel, to love, to be our own next dimension! Yeah, this music makes me float – especially when I’m careful enough to let it.

How do I find the one to find?

This is not life; this is only the bars and the Saturday afternoons spent with lovers. How do I find the one to find?

Or the many, for that matter; How do I choose from the many?

No, real life is during the early waking hours, the beginning of the week, and the very end of every day. Who is there at those times, and how do I choose? How do I find the one to find?

All day today spent with lovers, and the evening with mistresses. Sometimes too many is worse because nothing is found. No love; no truth.

Today I kept running into lovers that I wanted, and continued to want lovers that I did not see. And after the booze and bars, dancing and kissing, nothing is real. No one is really found.

There is no one to die for, or to die with. There is no Juliet.

It is all simply a song, a bar, a girl with my number that does not call.

So, how do I find the one to find?

Brokenhearted

Reid Walley — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:45:01 +0000

Brokenhearted cuts her hair but doesn’t mend her heart. Pruning’s faster, sure, but the anger festers still. And the new boy fancy’s he’s found a fancy girl – after all, she looks anew. It must be the new ‘do. Yet … Continue reading →

Maysa Matarazzo – Ne me quitte pas

NE ME QUITTE PAS – Lyrics in French
Written by Jacques Brel

http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/n/nemequittepas.shtml

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s’oublier
Qui s’enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas (3x)

Moi je t’offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu’après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D’or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l’amour sera roi
Où l’amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas (3x)

Ne me quitte pas
Je t’inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vue deux fois
Leurs coeurs s’embraser
Je te raconterai
L’histoire de ce roi
Mort de n’avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas (3x)

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l’ancien volcan
Qu’on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu’un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu’un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s’épousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas (3x)

Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t’écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L’ombre de ton ombre
L’ombre de ta main
L’ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas (4x)
