What are you listening to?

This is Igor Stravinsky. It's been a while since hearing this part of his Firebird suite, and I stumbled on this earlier.

Take your time now
Feel like standing still
Get your bearings
Until
When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown ...
 

Lol, at first I thought he must be French, but he is... Russian?

Listening to this:


Lyrics:

Standing still, as they charge
We will hold our ground, not back down
We will raise our swords from the ground
And we will fight the war to end all the suffering
Never fearing, heroes, foes
Or the daring and their cause
To the gods we pray: Never waive
Time has come for us to take charge and fight the power
 
One of the first anime I watched was the “Girl Who Leapt Through Time”, the film itself isn’t particularly amazing but I fell in love with the soundtrack.

Most of the music is by Kiyoshi Yoshida, with Haruki Mino playing the piano. The songs “Kawaranai Mono” and “Garnet” are made and performed by Hanako Oku.


When I first listened to the cd I panicked when I realised it lacked the films piano version of “Kawaranai Mono” which is in a separate album I promptly bought. I really like the first few opening bars and occasionally practice the song on the keyboard.

 

Time is a human construct, and you were below the waves

Time after time, July was in her eyes
But you lie, you lie to your soul


Your soul
Let it fly

I remember the rainy days in Chinatown
Oh, I hope you'll be okay

Time after time, July was in her eyes
But you lie, you lie to your soul

All we're offering is a chance to be loved





Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true right away

And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one

Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true miles away

Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will live love forever, as one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life, a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one, come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review

And as you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day, shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
I'm free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review
