One

of

a

kind

by

Acumen

____

"Snowflake"

Like

snowflake

on

the

sky,

I

came

into

your

mind,

I

looked

towards

your

eyes

and

said

your

heart

is

mine,

you

took

a

step

behind

and

told

me

I`m

your

kind,

right

then

I

started

smiling

and

looked

upon

my

darling.

____

Emotions,

these

earthly

seeds

of

heavenly

paradise

that

you`re

spelled

upon

every

once

and

a

while

..

Devotions,

like

an

ocean

full

of

whales

swimming

among

those

drops

of

Eden,

humming

to

one

another

with

the

justified

knowing

of

belonging

on

the

face

of

the

earth

that

mankind

no

longer

deserves

to

have

..

____

The

story?

Where

did

this

song

really

got

it`s

inspiration

and

the

melancholy,

it`s

carrying

force?

..

It`s

a

story

of

a

boy

and

a

girl,

the

rest

you

might

already

know..

I

am

sure

we`d

all

like

to

cherish

our

loved

ones

and

to

think

they`re

something

special

between

heaven

and

earth,

something

precious,

and

actually

that`s

quite

true

since

we`re

all

different,

yet

at

the

same

time

all

related.

Every

single

person

whom

you

get

acquinted

with

during

you`re

life,

you

develope

feelings,

certain

thoughts

about

this

person.

There

was

one

feeling

that

held

a

thought

with`in

which

I

hadn`t

had

for

a

long

time.

I

almost

had

closed

my

eyes

for

seeking

it`s

existance,

and

nearly

completely

had

forgotten

how

it

felt

like

..

She

basicly

turned

me

upside

down,

and

reminded

me

that

not

all

live

is

cold,

unharsh,

and

full

of

hatred,

dishonesty

and

repulsive

acts

of

human.

She

reminded

me

how

wonderful

and

precious

life

actually

is,

and

how

we

all

take

it

for

granted,

when

infact

no

one

owes

us

that

blessing.

____

.v.i.s.i.o.n.s.

Why

is

it

that

we

have

the

urge

to

create

destruction,

deceives

and

lies

with`in

this

garden

of

Eden

which

some

of

refer

as

planet

earth?

..

Do

we

REALLY

need

guns,

wars,

victims,

casualties

and

misery

to

understand

how

vulnerable

mother

nature

is,

and

how

significant

we

actually

are.

My

answer

at

the

time

would

be

"yes".

We`re

spending

more

money

in

finding

out

more

efficient

ways

to

kill

entire

nations

than

in

solving

the

problems

that

are

slowly,

but

surely

getting

out

of

hands.

In

other

words,

we`re

all

in

this

together,

shame

on

all

of

us!

There`s

one

thing

I`m

glad

about,

and

that

is

that

we

won`t

be

vanishing

without

paying

the

price

to

all

of

this.

The

end

is

near,

and

it

won`t

be

pretty.

We`re

all

part

of

this

chain

which

in

the

end

leads

to

slow,

but

sure

suicide

of

mankind,

suicide

none

of

us

really

wanted.

____

.i.n.f.l.u.e.n.c.e.s.

Here`s

some

music

that

I

feel

obligated

to

mention

as

like

others,

I

also

"drain"

influences

from

the

world

surrounding

me,

and

from

the

music

I

love

listening

to.

First

of

all,

Warder`s

"Thanatos

Minor"

is

something

I

didn`t

instantly

fall

in

love

with,

but

after

some

period

of

time

I

got

the

hang

of

it,

and

experienced

the

airy,

yet

still

"pressurized"

enviroment.

Once

again

I

must

thank

Warder

(the

reincarnation

of

Mozart?)

for

these

terrific

samples

he

had

done.

Who

knows

if

I`d

have

ever

composed

this

song

without

his

inspiring

pro-samples.

Awesome`s

"For

a

New

World"

is

truly

beautiful

too,

much

more

like

my

song

than

Warder`s,

and

maybe

this

silently

taught

me

to

control

the

flow

of

emotions,

and

to

express

them.

A

wonderful

pop

ballad!

Nitzer`s

"The

Adventure"

is

quite

similar

to

the

mood

and

style

Awesome`s

song

has,

but

this

has

more

of

the

same

elements

as

mine

does.

Like

in

mine,

the

piano

plays

an

important

role,

and

I

could

also

almost

swear

I

can

hear

a

story

been

told

with

every

note

being

played

like

it

would

be

a

word

whispered

in

the

air.

Again,

one

song

you

must

hear!

Nightwish`s

"Sleeping

Sun".

This

is

a

commercial

finnish

band,

so

you

won`t

find

this

at

any

scene

related

site.

Actually

I

have

never

liked

heavy

music,

but

this

wonderful

(not-se-heavy)

ballad

made

an

instant

affection

on

me,

exspecially

the

female

singer`s

beautiful

"opera"

type

of

singing).

____

.closing

words

&

thoughts.

It

felt

damn

good

to

compose

again

to

tell

you

the

truth.

I`d

compare

this

experience

to

holding

your

breath

for

a

minute

and

then

slowly

inhaling

again.

It

sure

does

feel

good,

doesn`t

it?

..

This

was

like

a

new

discovery

for

me

with

an

old

subject

of

interest.

I

think

I`ve

simply

come

to

realize

that

the

key

factor

in

making

music

is

that

there`s

no

time,

only

space

..

Funny

thing,

I

kept

whistling

my

own

song

for

the

first

time

in

my

life,

and

infact,

I

actually

didn`t

remember

nor

realize

that

it

was

my

own

song

I

kept

on

repeating

..

Another

funny

thing

is

how

many

of

you

have

asked

me

about

my

knowledge

of

music

theory,

and

the

simple

fact

that

I

don`t

have

much

knowledge

of

theory

at

all.

I

know

I`m

not

alone

with

this

matter,

since

there

are

many

people

just

like

me,

composing

music

and

that

are

confronted

with

the

same

type

of

questions

and

amazements.

I`d

like

to

learn

more

about

theory,

but

at

the

same

time

I

can`t

help

to

think

that

it

might

take

away

something

"untained"

and

"pure"

with

my

work

among

music,

in

it`s

style

and

unique

way

of

presenting

it.

Well,

in

any

case,

music

theory

is

an

interesting

field

which

I

am

coming

more

aware

of

day

by

day

..

____

.t.h.e.

.e.n.d.

This

is

all

for

now,

but

before

I

finish,

let

me

light

a

candle

of

hope

to

enlighten

your

day.

As

you`re

listening

to

the

end

of

my

song,

you

can

hear

that

it`s

reaching

out

for

a

better

tomorrow

as

the

melody

changes

from

melancholic

to

one

that

carries

more

hope

and

belief

inside

..
