With Chopin’s ethereal nocturne in the background, here are some excerpts from a conversation between Ray Charles and Dick Cavett that took place in June 1972. Ray’s astonishing response when asked if he would welcome the prospect of having his sight restored (assuming such an option was available) is both incredibly sincere and extremely topical…
Music & Lyrics: The Muser
Recorded in Athens during the summer of 2005, right before I moved to Amsterdam. Seems I could already sense the first Dutch raindrops falling down…
First drops of the rainThe sky is blue
The clouds are white
But the color of my heart stands out of sight
In foreign lands and distant seas
I tried to find my Eden
I begged on my knees
The first drops of the rain are falling down
Just like the tears in my eyes
that are slightly shown
but never gone
The moon is red
The starts stand still
Break the chains of sorrow
Tonight I will
I wish the pain could turn to rain
be drifted out to sea
prove itself vain
The first drops of the rain are falling down
Just like the tears in my eyes
that are slightly shown
but never gone
I feel the raindrops all over me
The morning light is shining
The pain will dry away
The Muser
