Biography
Heidelberg

I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

Born in London, England, after travelling around Europe for a while, I made Heidelberg, Germany my home. It is a beautiful city: small, yet cosmopolitan with a picturesque castle and surrounding wooded hills. It is a great place to feel relaxed and become inspired. It is the perfect base for work and play in various parts of the continent. I mostly spend my time making or teaching music.

Bands etc.
Qualifications
Teaching

I have been playing (keys and piano) with lots of different bands and styles, doing studio work, theatre productions and teaching for longer than I care to think about. Here one of my earliest albums: Frank Pyne and Sombrero Fallout (1988),

​

​

​

​

​

I teach, keyboards, piano (mostly pop and jazz), music production, songwriting and band coaching in German music schools (WMK, MuKs, Mannheim) and  a regular bilingual school (MIS).

​

To ground my teaching skills, over the years, I have taken three two-year part-time demanding but satisfying further education courses at the National Academy for Youth Music Education (Bundesakademie für musikalische Jugendbildung) in Trossingen, Germany. These were in teaching electronic keyboard instruments in music schools, teaching music in regular schools and teaching pop music in schools and music schools.

​

Not having completed my first studies in Mathematics and Computer Science at Leeds and Heidelberg Universities, I decided to obtain my degrees in the field of music, receiving a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Humanities with Music from the Open University in July 2013 and a Master of Music (MMus) in Songwriting from Bath Spa University in November 2015.

​

After stopping smoking, I rediscovered the joys of singing (I had sung in a  very accomplished choir till my voice broke). First joining the Heidelberger Jazz Choir and then Mokolé, a German choir singing African songs in the original languages (Swahili, Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho etc.) with whom I also went on tour to South Africa, Lesotho, Zwasiland and Kenya (video). I then joined the locally well known cabaret men's choir, the Heidelberger HardChor, with whom I still regularly perform.

Coming Home

After taking a short but intensive CVT course in Copenhagen, I feel more comfortable with my solo singing, singing most of my own songs with my band memes.and.dreams, amongst others (e.g. Limbus Club).

Performed at the CVI in Copenhagen 

Among other musical activities I guide, conduct and accompany a group of Turkish singers in Heidelberg, the Happy Kanak Stars. I also occasionally write choral arrangements for them and sometimes for the HardChor. Here is one I am particularly proud of, with special thanks to Gerry Brazil and Chris Dedrick: an a capella vocal arrangement of the Lennon and McCartney song, Penny Lane. The score is available on request.

Old Bones

A chance meeting with Rick Comrie and the discovery of a mutual interest in Barber Shop singing led to the formation of the Old Bones Barershop quartet. It continues, but unfortunately without Rick who returned to his native Canada.

Digging the Stone 1: No Way.

Read more Improvisation by Peter Antony On 16th December, 2021 I was lucky enough to have a few hours playing and recording the wonderful Steingraeber (= stone digger) grand piano in the Betriebswerk, Heidelberg. The session was for my series of 52 songs for the year 2021. I was inspired by the piano to continue playing and I will be posting some of the left over material, unedited, on Sundays, over the next few weeks. I hope the title of this improvisation is not too cryptic. Again a big thank you to Dominic Mayr, David and Walter Nussbaum and the KlangForum Heidelberg for allowing me to play the piano and use their excellent recording equipment. www.peterantony.de

Digging the Stone 2: Folle e ben che si crede.

Read more Text and Music: Tarquinio Merula (1595-1665) An early pop song with a beautiful melody. See below for text and translation. Folle è ben che si crede Che per dolci lusinghe amorose O per fiere minaccie sdegnose Dal bel idoo mio rittraga il piede Cangi pur suo pensiero Ch'il mio cor prigioniero Spera che goda la libertà Dica chi vuole dica chi sa. Altri per gelosa Spiri pur empie fiamme dal seno Versi pure Megera il veneno Perchè rompi al mio ben la fede mia Morte il viver mi toglia Mai fia ver che si scioglia Quel caro laccio che preso m'ha Dica chi vuole dica chi sa. Ben havrò tempo, e loco Da sfogar l'amoroser mie pene Da temprar de l'amato mio bene E de l'arso mio cor, l'occulto foco E trà l'ombre, e gli orrori De nuturni splendori Il mio ben furto s'asconderà Dica chi vuole dica chi sa. He is indeed mad who believes He can, by sweet and amorous flattery Or by proud and haughty threats Turn my steps away from my beautiful idol. He might as well change his way of thinking, For my captive heart Hopes only to enjoy freedom. Say what you will, say what you may. Others, out of jealousy, May breath foul flames from their hearts, A vixen may pour forth her venom To destroy my trust in my beloved, Death may snatch my life away, But never will this precious bond That binds me be loosened. Say what you will, say what you may. Soon shall I have both time and leisure To give free vent to my amorous pangs, To measure the secret fire Of my beloved and of my burning heart, And, 'twixt the shadows and frights Of nocturnal splendors, My beloved will secretly be hiding. Say what you will, say what you may On 16th December, 2021 I was lucky enough to have a few hours playing and recording the wonderful Steingraeber (= stone digger) grand piano in the Betriebswerk, Heidelberg.

Digging the Stone 3: I'm a Man.

Read more Music: Peter Antony. Text Dave Suich. This is a song from one of my first bands when I was a student of Leeds University, co-written with the bass player, Dave Suich (who later became a founding member of the internationally renowned Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain). His text is an early Dave masterpiece, seen from the perspective of a sexual predator (see below) but is not autobiographical or condoning the behaviour in any way. The song was originally called Cambridge and was about a rapist who was terrorising the female students of Cambridge at the time. The song title is not relevant anymore and was changed somewhere in the intervening period, although some might say the original title could be contemporary if seen as a metaphor for certain members of our present UK government. On 16th December, 2021 I was lucky enough to have a few hours playing and recording the wonderful Steingraeber (= stone digger) grand piano in the Betriebswerk, Heidelberg. The session was for my series of 52 songs for the year 2021.

I'm not a monster But if I am I can’t help it I'm a man I'm not a monster But if I am I can’t help it I'm a man

Time Alive. Song 52 of 52.

Read more Music and Text: Peter Antony Vocals: Paqui Romero Percussion: Shooresh Fezoni The final song of my 2021 New Year's resolution, posted on the last day of the year. A positive song to finish a difficult year, reminding us of the magic of being alive. A big thank you to Paqui, Shooresh and Ute Seitz (video production) for this song. To all the others who, contributed, helped and supported over the year, I am more grateful than you can possibly know. Time Alive Time stretches, endless longing, Holding, with stilling power. The past, a fragment of long lost desires. Life waiting, patience dying, Breaking the numbing pain. The now, a mix-up of long felt designs. An image of a phantom lover, A castle in the sky. An image of a phantom lover, A million miles high. It's just a touch away, You can smell it, hear it, See it in the edge of your eye, Just one small move and you will feel it, Surround you with all its passion. The mystery of the moment. The nature of the game. The magic of time alive. Not content, not aware, Sensing, behind there's more The where you are, the when of now, escaping somehow. Seconds ticking, years forever, Lost behind a stagnant wall. The who, the why, the questioned answered, Somewhere in the now. An image of a phantom lover, A child of the sun. An image of a phantom lover, A million seconds long., It's just a touch away, You can smell it, hear it, See it in the edge of your eye, Just one small move and you will feel it, Surround you with all its passion. The mystery of the moment. The nature of the game. The magic of time alive. www.peterantony.de 52 Song Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_

Passion. Song 51 of 52.

Read more Music and Text: Peter Antony. Vocals: Silke Allenberg Drums: Simon Ostheim The second to last song of my 2021 New Years's Resolution, Passion, retells what can make live worth living. Passion If every day just feels the same, No ups or downs, feeling no pain. The world is seeming pretty, dull and grey. You wonder what it’s all just for. Is that all there is, there must be more. The high lights of your life - all washed away. Don’t you worry if you’ve got The Existential Blues, Maybe you can find some joy, But if that doesn’t work for you, You need passion. To take you higher and higher. You need passion. It can be sweet or it can be dark. You need passion, To take you higher and higher. It’s not what you do, But the way it makes you feel inside. And when you know the secret way, Carpe diem - and have your say. Live your life, each day - could be your last. ‘Cos in the end, it’s all in your head, And when you're on your dying bed, Have some fun. Enjoy. Re-live your past. You know it all don’t mean a damn, You’re not part of some master plan. So just enjoy yourself while you still can. www.peterantony.de

The Jabberwocky. Song 49 of 52.

Read more Text (1871): Lewis Carroll Music written and performed (2021) by Peter Antony Recited by Peter Antony and Silke Allenberg. Continuing with my 2021 New Year's Resolution, here is a piece written to accompany the famous and brilliant nonsense poem from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, the Jabberwocky. www.peterantony.de Twas brillig, and the slithy toves    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves,    And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun    The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand;    Long time the manxome foe he sought. So rested he by the Tumtum tree,    And stood a while in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood,    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,    And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head    He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?    Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"    He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves,    And the mome raths outgrabe. Verdaustig war's, und glaße Wieben rotterten gorkicht im Gemank. Gar elump war der Pluckerwank, und die gabben Schweisel frieben. »Hab acht vorm Zipferlak, mein Kind! Sein Maul ist beiß, sein Griff ist bohr. Vorm Fliegelflagel sieh dich vor, dem mampfen Schnatterrind.« Er zückt' sein scharfgebifftes Schwert, den Feind zu futzen ohne Saum, und lehnt' sich an den Dudelbaum und stand da lang in sich gekehrt. In sich gekeimt, so stand er hier, da kam verschnoff der Zipferlak mit Flammenlefze angewackt und gurgt' in seiner Gier. Mit Eins! und Zwei! und bis auf's Bein! Die biffe Klinge ritscheropf! Trennt' er vom Hals den toten Kopf, und wichernd sprengt' er heim. »Vom Zipferlak hast uns befreit? Komm an mein Herz, aromer Sohn! Oh, blumer Tag! Oh, schlusse Fron!« So kröpfte er vor Freud'. Verdaustig war's, und glaße Wieben rotterten gorkicht im Gemank. Gar elump war der Pluckerwank, und die gabben Schweisel frieben. Era el briño, y los ligrosos Giraban y mangaban en el panal: Tan debrable los bogrosos, Y aún los rantopos salgraban. “¡Hijo, cuidado con el Jabroco!¡ Mandibulas mordiente, garras enganchante!¡ Cuidado con el pájaro Joco, Y descátarte del Bandagarras frumante! El tomó su espada vorpal en mano, Largo el enemigo majón buscaba Así descansó bajo el árbol de Tamo, Y parado un tiempo pensaba. Y, tal parado en su pensar ufado, El Jabroco, con ojos de llama, Vino chiflando através del bosque tulgado, Y burjaba mientras llegaba! ¡Un, dos! ¡Un, dos! ¡Y de pieza en pieza La espada vorpal cortaba y cartaba! Lo dejo muerto, y con su cabeza Regresó en una galumpiada. “¿Y, hais matado al Jabroco? ¡Ven a mis manos, mi hijo radiante! ¡Que día fralloso! ¡Qué hillo! ¡Qué cozo!”Chorló el, felizmente. Era el briño, y los ligrosos Giraban y mangaban en el panal: Tan debrable los bogrosos, Y aún los rantopos salgraban. Il était ardille et les glisseux torves Gyraient et gamblaient sur la plade Tout dodegoutants étaient les borororves Les chonverts grougroussaient la nomade. «Attention au Berdouilleux, mon fils! Ses crocs sont aigus et ses griffes pointues Attention à l'oiseau Jubjub, éfisse Le trop croacieux Barbentue.» Il saisit d'une main son épée vorpale Et longtemps, longtemps il chercha l'ennemi. Puis sous l'arbre Tumtum, il s'allongea tout pâle Pour mieux réfléchir, à l'abri il se mit. Et tandis qu'ainsi, il gisait tout penseur, Le Berdouilleux, des flammes dans les yeux, Soufflichait à travers le bouillage en pleurs Et gabardouillait son chemin comme un preux. Un, deux! Un, deux! Et vlan, et vlan! L'épée vorpale lui traversa les flancs De part en part. Il lui coupa la tête Et partit en courant vers le lieu de la fête. «L'as-tu bien trucidé, cet affreux Berdouilleux! Viens dans mes bras, mon fils très glorieux! O quel jour rayonneux! Aïe, aïe, aïeux!» Brâlait le vieux tant il était gayeux. Il était ardille et les glisseux torves Gyraient et gamblaient sur la plade Tout dodegoutants étaient les borororves Les chonverts grougroussaient la nomade.

A big thank you to Silke Allenberg for the setting and the filming. www.peterantony.de Christmas the Whole Year Round I suppose today I should write a Christmas song. This is what I came up with, I hope it’s not too long The thing that kind of makes me sad At Christmas we try to be good, not bad The rest of the year we don’t take the time To be decent, respectful, loving and kind. I guess I can’t avoid the old cliche and say it should be Christmas, well, every day The things that really make it shine Should stay with us all the time It’s not only about presents, but also about sharing It’s not only about feasting but also about caring The days after Christmas are the days before, too Let peace and joy and love reign The whole year through Here’s what I’d like to share with you Let’s do the right thing, to each other stay true If the love within you is found It’s Christmas the whole year round Inside 52 songs for 2021 playlist. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_

The Darker Side of Summer. Song 44 of 52.

Read more Continuing my 2021 New Years Resolution, here, posted on the shortest day of the year, is a song recorded on the one of the longest days of the year. Despite the dark days, this song should help us remember how far we have come. The Limbus Club in Tom's Garden: The musicians of the Limbus Club: Peter Antony (music, text and keys). Jochen Seiterle (guitar and video), Christof Keller (bass), Tom Beisel (drums and garden). www.peterantony.de www.limbusclub.de The Darker Side of Summer Thinking on the year gone by, it all seemed pretty good. Things were moving slowly on, progressing as they should. Even though the news was bad and the Don was acting dumb, We all were sure that come next year, the dummy would be gone. But we were getting news that didn’t sound too good. Some people getting sick like you thought they never would. Any then we found, The darker side of summer. And then we tried to fix it all and locked ourselves away And we were doing pretty good getting ready for the opening day But then we heard from across the pond that it was all a lie The Dems has made it up to stop the Don from having a second try. BLM, social justice, statues taken down He tried to say it was all a plot to relieve him our his crown Any then we found, The darker side of summer. There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun. There is no dark side of summer really. Matter of fact it's all light, it's alright. The only thing that makes it look dark Is the shadow cast by some big, fat, dumb, orange ass

Where the Funk is Ollie? Song 41 of 52.

Read more Music, text, vocals, keys, production: Peter Antony. Additional vocals: Silke Allenberg. Drums: Christoph Buhse. Continuing my New Year's Resolution, here is song 41 of 52. It is a bit tongue in cheek with the reference to Ollie and the Chorus playing tribute to one of the favourite musicals of my childhood. Where the funk is Ollei? There she was, just chillin’ Sipping some wine Taking my time He went and sat beside her Handsome and fine Drinking vodka and lime We started chattin’ Ollie was her name Love her game My head was spinnin’ The time went so fast And I knew at last I’d met my soulmate It was all so insane She said she felt the same I turned to her and said I had to go Play in some show But I had something to say before I left I want to funk with you But it was too soon So she slapped my face And stared at me cold And turned and walked into the night I was alone but I know In the morning In the daytime In the evening In the night time Se’s the one For me. Where is he? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he still be there for me? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he be the one to take my hand And lead me to the promised land? Where is he? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he swing down from a tree? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he ride upon a white horse singing A silly love song? I realised how stupid I’d been To be so obscene, tasteless and mean I’d lost the chance of fun, sun and laughter For now and ever after. I searched high and low Every red house, every bar Went to all the discos And cafes, near and far But I'd lost my soulmate. Hey, Bro, how ya smelling It’s a jive-arse, honky rap Ya brother’s a mother With a Sigmund up his back Ya Momma’s got her boots on She’s out to jive tonight Ya Papa’s off the payroll He can‘t do nothing right So tell me where you're going And I'll tell you where you've been While I dance with my rhythm I'll tell you what I've seen I hustle, I bustle, I twist and I sway 'Cos my name is Ollie, and I'm here to stay. In the morning In the daytime In the evening In the night time She’s the one For me Where is he? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he still be there for me? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he be the one to take my hand And lead me to the promised land? Where is he? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he swing down from a tree? [Where the funk, where the funk is Olli?] Will he ride upon a white horse singing A silly love song? www.peterantony.de

Junction of the Heart. Song 39 of 52.

Read more Text and Music : Peter Antony Continuing my New Year's Resolution to post 52 unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs (one for every week) in 2021, this is song 39 of 52. Junction of the Heart was inspired by the Brit pop of the 1980's and will appear on the next memes.and.dreams CD. This unplugged recording was one of a few made spontaneously on the wonderful Steinway Grand piano of the Raum 103 Studio in Darmstadt. Thanks to Christoph Paulssen, Axel Marx and Christof Keller for making it possible. #Raum103. Junction of the Heart The sun got bored and didn’t say goodbyeTo the bistro coffee-drinkers and town square-strollers With their lazy evening chatter and respect for rules and empty soulsIn pursuit of yet another dirty dollar Scrambling up some non-existent ladder A jaded bar, a haunt of the world-wearyA muscled barman who knew his clients clearly It had been her idea - she felt protected here He ordered drinks, she fiddled with a toothpick They didn’t talk, got lost inside the music Hollow words sung to over-played tunesAbout gentle rain, tender touch and blue full moons About the safer side of love But love is a bizarre deviceA champagne cork, a poisoned dart A polished fork, a sharpened knife A junction of the heart Dressed to kill, she put him in his placeShe shoved a stop sign in his open, innocent face With an ironic lack of humour, she said, ‘I don’t love you anymore’ The jarring words bounced off the wooden wallsAnd spiralled in, smothered him And lost him in a maze from which he struggled, He struggled to withdraw Hollow words sung to over-played tunesAbout gentle rain, tender touch and blue full moons About the safer side of love But love is a bizarre deviceA champagne cork, a poisoned dart A polished fork, a sharpened knife A junction of the heart. 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Close to Tears. Song 38 of 52.

Read more Words and Music: Peter Antony. Bass: Katja Wesch. Continuing my New Year's Resolution, here is song 38 of 52, Close to Tears. It was a songwriting exercise, to see how self-indulgent I could get: that is why it is a little over the top. It uses a play on words which might be more common in a country song than in a jazz ballad like this. Recorded and filmed live, in one take, it has some wonderful fretless bass playing from Katja Wesch. I added some strings and pads in post-production.. The wonderful singer Birgit Beelte performed a version with a more positive ending on a memes.and.dreams CD. https://youtu.be/vPYh3fPHOzo Close to Tears I can still taste that last sip of red wiine Hear the radio’s love song I can still see your bedroom eyes And feel the intruding dawn You told me you were leaving You said you needed time Inside me - something died You wouldn’t be coming home Now you’re gone The bird has flown Fled, left the fold And me? Lost in memories Alone What made you stay so quiet What made you so unfulfilled What made me think you loved me What makes me love you still Once I was always close to you Now I’m always close to tears Let’s stay in bed, you said The perfume of your perfect skin I coated you with kisses Longing to touch you again 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Live Easy. Song 36 of 52.

Read more Words, music, performance and production: Peter Antony. Continuing, my New Year Resolution, song 36 speaks for itself, The film was made pre-pandemic, on the island of Rhodes. I can live disappointment, but I'd rather live with you. Now you want to go, so I thought I'd let you know, It isn't that I love you, or you make me feel the need, It's just that when I'm with you, I'll follow where you lead. But when you're ÷gone, I'm going to long, For the song, so strong, you gave to me. So I guess you'll go, but you ought to know, It's you gave me the clue, to what I want to be. Live easy, live easy, live without your love. Live easy, live easy, live without your love. It's not easy trying to tell you, how hard it is for me, To live my life as single self, when two is company. I've lost your inspiration, but I guess I'll find my own, So leave me if you want to, I'm sure I'll carry on But when you're gone, I'm going to long, For the song, so strong, you gave to me. So I guess you'll go, but you ought to know, It's you gave me the clue, to what I want to be. Live easy, live easy, live without your love.

When October Falls. Song 34 of 52

Read more Music and Text: Peter Antony. Guitar: Stefan Varga. Continuing my New Years Resolution of posting 52 of my songs in 2021, here is a rather melancholic song, albeit with a hopeful ending. It is a romantic jazz ballad, in the style of the wonderful Canadian composer, Michel Legrand, who unfortunately passed away in 2019. The middle section is not quite right yet, but, in trying to keep to my self-imposed time schedule, I have posted it now. See it as a work in progress. The first line of the text is a tribute to Douglas Adams. Thank you to Stefan Varga for his guitar accompaniment that tastefully, perfectly found the right feel for the song. When October Falls The tea-time of my soul Is mirrored in the call Of good times when we said we'd be forever Past the day October falls. The autumn of my life gives way to winter's cold But memories of you will keep me warm When shadows lengthen and the trees are barren, Grey surrounds us, cold approaches, When October falls and you are gone. And think on all the thoughts we had And think of all the words we said And feel again the warmth of sun No doubts or fear could ever be for us Even as days grow shorter Nights are ever longer We go on. The autumn of my life gives way to winter's cold, But being close to you still keeps us warm When shadows lengthen and the trees are barren, Grey surrounds us, cold approaches, When October falls and you are here. 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher self-motivation in these difficult corona times.

Up Against the Wall. Song 8 of 52

Read more Text & Music: Peter Antony. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 8 of 52. I used a Roland JD-Xi synth to record the loop in real time, a Nord Stage as electric piano and an Ultranova from Novation. It was multi -track recorded, but in one take with only some effects on the vocal added in post. Up Against the Wall Build a wall, build a wall, they say. I say no: let’s watch walls fall. We don’t need barriers between us all Sometimes it’s her, sometimes it’s me Sometimes it just ain’t meant to be No simple answer to please the masses, The base impassive and obsessive No easy answer No fountain of youth, no oracle of truth No knight in shining armour on a white horse To put you back on course and To heed the cries of fake news that you live and breathe I got the blues ‘Cos I’m up against the wall And I can’t recall where my mind was going While my heart was searching for the way to the other side For the way over. Not knowing how to describe the barricades I can’t decide Are they just inside Four walls in my mind, blind to the outside. Now I’m climbing up the wall, looking tall. And maybe I’ll just sit on the wall From up here, you look so small Don’t make me come down there To see if anybody really cares Turn around - put your back against the wall Turn around - and see they they’re just like you Turn around - climb up and look over What do you see? The same as me? I don’t know where I started from, the differences receding - all gone Build a wall, build a wall, they say. I say no: let’s watch walls fall. We don’t need barriers between us all Knock down this wall Mr. Gorbachov.

The Colour of Money. Song 30 of 52.

Although the orange one has gone, hopefully for good, the corrupting power of money is still with us, so the song remains relevant. The musicians are from the eclectic Limbus [Club]. They perform a monthly one-off show with every month a new theme, in the Jazzhaus Heidelberg (www.hd-jazzhaus.de) where indoor concerts have happily started again.

Read more Music composed and arranged by Peter Antony Videos by Paqui Romero Video editing by Peter Antony This next part of my 2021 New Yer's resolution is something totally different. It was put together entirely on the computer, using various software synths and samplers, mostly from Logic and Native Instruments. The spoken word samples are from friends that I recorded myself. Rather than keep to a standard form, I recorded lots of sound bites and looped and moved them around in my DAW (digital audio workstation - Logic Pro) until it sounded interesting without it getting boring. Repetition is an important part of music, as is change and the unexpected. Getting the balance right is the hardest part of composing. This process was more like painting than composing. The video was put together quickly, in the same way (using the video editing software Camtasia) with the short clips provided by my friend, Paqui Romero who filmed her chickens in her garden in Almeria, Spain. 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Spring Heeled Jack. Song 29 of 52.

Read more Music by Peter Antony. Continuing my New Years Resolution of posting 52 of my songs in 2021, here is a piano piece that warps the famous cockney song "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner". I was born in London and feel quite comfortable giving a renditioning of this song at the end of the video. I used this theme while accompanying, live, the silent movie "Waxworks". The film has three parts, one of which visualises the story of Spring Heeled Jack, a mysterious figure of the folk lore of Victorian England. He was spotted mostly in London and said to have had a bizarre appearance and be able to make extraordinary leaps. Whether real or not, this early super hero/villain inspired many stories and was possibly the root of such figures as Batman. The urban legend also featured in the popular video game, Assassin's Creed. 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

I'm So Dumb. Song 28 of 52.

Read more Text and Music. Peter Antony. Vocals. Femke Soatenga. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This song (28 of 52) was written for the Limbus [Club] - the once monthly (with a new theme every month), improvised words and music session in the Jazzhaus, Heidelberg (www.limbusclub.de). It is about the situation we all know, where the perfect comeback occurs to you an hour late after the discussion or argument is over. It is written a little as a pastiche of the contemporary musical ballad - although it would have included some arbitrary key and tempo changes to be more in style. I had a couple of gala concerts, playing second keyboard on a selection of broadway musical hits and was lucky enough that one of the excellent singers agreed, in an off moment to perform this for me. Femke Soatenga learnt the song in a few minutes and we filmed in it one take. The atmosphere sounds were spontaneously provided by the passing traffic. I'm So Dumb You called me this, you called me that, you said I had no clue My mind went blank, I couldn’t find the words, to say what’s long overdue You twisted what you thought I’d said and turned it on its head As frustration rose inside my gut, I broke out in a sweat Well, I’m so dumb, why didn’t I say What I wanted to say to you today I’m so dumb, I could just kick myself ‘cos I couldn’t find the way But now I’ve found the perfect words To put you back down in your place But you’re not here, so I can’t say them now Directly to your face Oh why am I so dumb? I tried to speak, it came out wrong, default misunderstood Am I obliged to read your mind, do like you think I should Accused again of doing to you, what you always do to me You said I should finally open my eyes, but I’m the mirror you can’t see Well, I’m so dumb, why didn’t I say What I wanted to say to you today I’m so dumb, I could just kick myself ‘cos I couldn’t find the way But now I’ve found the perfect words To put you back down in your place But you’re not here, so I can’t say them now Directly to your face Oh why am I so dumb? My mind went blank, I couldn’t find the words To say what’s long overdue Now you’re not here, but I know you’ll get it When I say to you - screw you. 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Although not autobiographical some of the scenes depicted in the lyrics were the results of personal experiences oft the writers. Thank you to Serene for the video footage. So Different to Me You go swimming naked in forbidden places   And scramble over walls to sacred hidden spaces To howl at the full moon You give food to the tramp in the faded parka And find the bargain in the local flea market And make love in the afternoon Just free  You're so different to me You're so different to me Everything you do I’m more and more unsure Everything you do Upsets my world a little more  And I like it  You party till four - up again at eight You time it to be just that little bit late  To make sure you stand out You take me to the craziest concerts And sing back stage with the guys all the old standards The star in the crowd Just free  You're so different to me You're so different to me Everything you do I’m more and more unsure Everything you do Upsets my world a little more  And I like it  But it ain't easy You never pay your bills I never know what's coming, no, no I don't know what's important, no What's real What matters anymore You're so different to me You're so different to me Everything you do I’m more and more unsure Everything you do Upsets my world a little more  You're so different to me You're so different to me Everything you do I’m more and more unsure Everything you do Upsets my world a little more  And I like it  52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Afterglow. Song 23 of 52

Read more Afterglow. Song 23 of 52. Music and Text: Peter Antony. Drums: Roman Schuler I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. Song 23 is a tribute to Amy Winehouse, who died 10 years ago. Having listened to her music frequently since then, it has become ever more apparent what a unique talent she was. Nobody sings like Amy and her passing is a great loss to the world. I wrote the song in 2011 as part of a further education exercise. This is the first version of the song and was recorded in 2012 as a part of my final submission for the course.. It was recorded using only keyboards, except for the drums. played by my fellow student, Roman Schuler. My band, memes.and.dreams, have also recorded the song. https://youtu.be/WMEY1q79klM 52 songs for 2021 playlist; https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ Afterglow Text and Music: Peter Antony Born in the city, just another little girl, Who wants to play and play and play. Dreams of being a star, chauffeur and car, One day, one day, one day But then it happened so fast, The past was gone, the song, so strong, But was that really where you belonged, Feet off the ground, head spinning round, You were losing touch. Too much to take, make or break, But too down to earth to be their fake. Castles of sand, dust in your hand. Lows and highs, downs and ups. Are we happy, now your ride is over? Afterglow, left behind, Fast fading, echoes end, It’s over. Left in an afterglow. Suddenly you stop, you’re on the top. Riches, glamour and fame, That’s the name of the game. But when you then look down, You see the drop. And with the fame, there came the pain. “Back to black”, You made your mark, light in the dark. You didn’t know that you could go with the flow, Enjoy the ride, stay true inside. You had something to say, But you lost your way, no shades of grey. And we all wanted to take too much from you. You raced to that place, where feelings are few. Lows and highs, downs and ups.Are we happy, now your ride is over? Afterglow, left behind, Fast fading, echoes end, It’s over. Left in an afterglow. Yesterday’s news, between tales of financial crisis and a storm in Texas. Twenty seconds, then the shot of the wind torn streets matched what I was feeling inside. The final rehab. A few half forgotten lines, a dying glimmer on the screen, And we’re left in the afterglow. Afterglow I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

'Cos you're just a dogma victim And you've always been relying On a religious congregation To hear some common sense denying So watch how the tail wags the dog ... But me, i only lie in bed And listen to your lonely tales Of the love you thought you lost When he lied to you in yours and said He would stay forever Things ain't always as they seem ...

This is a third version of song 7 out of 52. This song, is for all those who are involuntarily separated from the ones they care about, be it because of the Corona virus or some other reason. Musically, it was inspired by a live concert of the Turkish musician, Mercan Dede, that I attended in Istanbul on 22 September 2019 Do Not Doubt My Love Even if shrouded in blackened gloom Even if the silence is as before a storm Even if anger colours every careless word And stubborn blindness mores the hurt Do not doubt my love Even when lost at night alone at home Even when exchanging hollow words on the phone Even when the pendulum is at its furthest place And you can not remember the look of my face Do not doubt my love. Even though the miles between us are many Even though our two becoming one seems imaginary and uncanny Even though we cannot see a future time or way When being together is as common as the break of day Do not doubt my love.

This is song 19 out of 52. A few years ago I was involved with a live reading of Alessandro Baricco's monologue, "The Legend of 1900" (Italian: La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano, "The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean". It is a fascinating tale of someone born and abandoned on a luxury cruise ship in the year 1900. He lives his whole life on the ship, never leaving, and becomes a masterful pianist. Here, I am improvising on the main theme that I wrote for the occasion. 52 songs playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ https://www.memesandreams.com

Through the Smoke. Song 16 of 52

Read more Through the Smoke. Music and Text: Peter Antony. Percussion: Shooresh Fezoni. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 16 out of 52. This is an improvisation based on two of my favourite chords: E minor (7/9/11) and C major (6/maj7/9/), that have somehow followed me for decades. Two good friends and great musicians have used them, with me, in songs of their own: Frank Pyne in "Smokescreen" and Maurice "Big Mo" Huffmann in "Under the Lights". My text, here, pays tribute to both their lyrics and reflects the hope for a new renewal after a the long pandemic, and that we can emerge through the smoke into a clearer, brighter future. It was recorded, live, on a cool April evening, in front of a warming fire, with an almost full moon overhead, in a beautiful setting overlooking the Heidelberg castle. https://www.peterantony.de Through the Smoke The darkness is almost over The beginning of the end of the night We’re coming through the smokescreen Emerging into the light A hopeful April evening Looking at the full moon The fire relieving winter chills Imaging it’s June.

Dolphin Dance. 52 Songs Bonus Track

Read more Improvisation on Dolphin Dance (Herbie Hancock) I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is a bonus track, as it is not one of my own songs. I came across some films I made a few years ago, off the island of Madeira, of dolphins and pilot whales. Reminding me of better days, it inspired me to play a mellow, easy-Sunday improvisation on Herbie Hancock's 1965 masterpiece, Dolphin Dance. If you don't know it, you should give the original a listen. I played this on my Nord Stage electric piano/synthesiser/organ (aka The Red Baron), going straight into the mixer and DAW. I liked the first take so much, and don't think I could recreate it - so here it is, with the films that inspired me. 52 songs playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

This is song 14 of 52. This song was written for a musical that I was asked to write for a school's anniversary. The musical uses the story of Homer's re-telling of the Trojan War and the Odyssey but set in the modern day. This song is towards the end of the story and is the parallel to Penelope wanting to rekindle her relationship with Odysseus. While writing this, it is the start of Spring. I choose this song to reflect the season. Although basically a pop song, in this version; I slowed the tempo and added the ethereal voices to reflect the protagonists recollections and reference the spirituality of the period around Easter (I recorded this on Good Friday and finished editing on Easter Sunday). https://www.peterantony.de Revitalise Walking down the main street, Looking for your face.

Wisdom helps, but then beauty's heaven sent, And maybe love is the key to all. But strength and power can save me from a fall. So, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one, Who will always be by me. Which way to choose, which way to go. I wish that I could have the lot. To make a choice like him before, Wisdom, power, love, or what. Maybe then, well I should think of the past, And what Paris chose at last, Even though it caused a war.

Fear of Flying. Song 10 of 52

Read more Music and Text: Peter Antony. Special Guest on the Fretless Bass: Katja Wesch I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 10 of 52. Recorded on 7th March 2021 to be released on International Women's Day, 8th March 2021, the song was inspired by the similarly named, iconic, second-wave feminist, 1973 novel by Erica Jong @ar_of_Flying_(novel). As well as exploring female sexuality, Erica writes about the time she spent in Heidelberg, Germany. This song, that uses the fear of flying as a metaphor for the fear of commitment, was written for the monthly music and lyric improvised "Limbus Club" session that takes place in the Jazzhaus in Heidelberg. The song also appeared on the memes.and.dreams CD, with Katja again playing bass, along with Mario Schulz on guitar and Reiner Dettling on drums. Here is the memes.and.dreams version. https://youtu.be/uGCNnfAdNYw https://www.peterantony.de Fear of Flying 7th July 2013 Intro ||: D | Asus4/C# | Gadd9/H | Em add 11:|| | D | Asus4/C# Verse I’ve got a fear of flyin’, but I’m not afraid of dyin’. | Gadd9/H | Em add 11 Don’t wanna give control, to some guy I don’t know. | D | Asus4/C# I’ve got a fear of of lovin’.

Unprepared. Song 9 of 52

Read more Music: Peter Antony. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. Although it might not be classified as a "song", I have nevertheless included this in the list. it is song 09 of 52. By chance, I came across this beautiful grand piano that had been prepared for a concert the following day. The piano was prepared by inserting small pieces of plastic between various strings to change the timbre and intonation. The composer had specified exactly where and how the plastic was to be inserted and exactly what the performer was to play in the concert. I was unprepared for this and started messing with the sounds until I found something I liked. I then played this piece. It is a true improvisation and would be almost impossible to recreate (if one ever wanted to). It has a unique and undefinable quality that I have grown to quite like. 52 songs for 2021 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Up Against the Wall. Song 8 of 52

Read more Text & Music: Peter Antony. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 8 of 52. I used a Roland JD-Xi synth to record the loop in real time, a Nord Stage as electric piano and an Ultranova from Novation. It was multi -track recorded, but in one take with only some effects on the vocal added in post. www.peterantony.de Up Against the Wall Build a wall, build a wall, they say. I say no: let’s watch walls fall. We don’t need barriers between us all Sometimes it’s her, sometimes it’s me Sometimes it just ain’t meant to be No simple answer to please the masses, The base impassive and obsessive No easy answer No fountain of youth, no oracle of truth No knight in shining armour on a white horse To put you back on course and To heed the cries of fake news that you live and breathe I got the blues ‘Cos I’m up against the wall And I can’t recall where my mind was going While my heart was searching for the way to the other side For the way over. Not knowing how to describe the barricades I can’t decide Are they just inside Four walls in my mind, blind to the outside. Now I’m climbing up the wall, looking tall. And maybe I’ll just sit on the wall From up here, you look so small Don’t make me come down there To see if anybody really cares Turn around - put your back against the wall Turn around - and see they they’re just like you Turn around - climb up and look over What do you see? The same as me? I don’t know where I started from, the differences receding - all gone Build a wall, build a wall, they say. I say no: let’s watch walls fall. We don’t need barriers between us all Knock down this wall Mr. Gorbachov.

Do not doubt. Song 7 of 52 (version 2.0)

Read more Text & Music: Peter Antony. Featuring Gökhan Budak on Saz. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 7 of 52 (version 2.0). After releasing this on Valentine's Day 2021, a good friend in Turkey played the Saz to it and sent me the video. I really liked it and have mixed it in to the original. This song, where I used the Boss RC5 looper for the first time, is for all those who are involuntarily separated from the ones they care about, be it because of the Corona virus or some other reason. Musically, it was inspired by a live concert of the Turkish musician, Mercan Dede, that I attended in Istanbul on 22 September 2019 www.peterantony.de Do Not Doubt my Love Even if shrouded in blackened gloom Even if the silence is as before a storm Even if anger colours every careless word And stubborn blindness mores the hurt Do not doubt my love Even when lost at night alone at home Even when exchanging hollow words on the phone Even when the pendulum is at its furthest place And you can not remember the look of my face Do not doubt my love. Even though the miles between us are many Even though our two becoming one seems imaginary and uncanny Even though we cannot see a future time or way When being together is as common as the break of day Do not doubt my love. Istanbul, 23 September 2019 I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby. I enjoy singing but would not consider myself an accomplished singer. All of the songs are recorded live, with minimal editing. I am well aware that the resulting videos (especially the audio quality) are not always of the highest quality, but it was not the intention to make perfect productions, considering the time constraints. This project is a form of self-motivation in these difficult corona times. I am not trying to please anybody in particular.

Suzanne. Song 6 of 52.

Read more Text: Peter Antony; Music: Peter Antony and Emma Kirkbride I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. Some of the songs have been recorded, some are in the works, some are half written and some haven't been written yet. Let's see how far I get. This is song 6 of 52. On 6th February 2014, I went to a Suzanne Vega concert in Bristol (graffiti city) with some of my friends and fellow students studying for a Masters degree in Songwriting at the nearby Bath Spa University (Corsham Court). It was a great concert and a great night. This song was inspired by the events and by Suzanne's songs, some of which are cryptically referred to in the verses. I recorded this version exactly seven years later, on 6th February 2021. www.peterantony.de Suzanne Night time in graffiti city The way to the top went round and round Turn back, turn back she vainly cried It’s not the way to the sonic playground We had strayed into a Kafka novel On high we finally saw the lights We could see the way before us As we headed down - into the long black night And she sang and she played And she played and she sang I’ve come tonight to whisper in your ears I’ve come tonight to shout it loud I’ve come tonight to tell the secrets of the world I’ve come tonight to show the secrets of the heart Will you listen? Will you listen? Will you listen? She sang of Queens in barren rooms And soldiers going off to war She sang of truth and childhood lost And cracks appearing in the walls She locked us in with her piercing stare And kept us rooted in that darkened place She spoke directly to our concealed desires And shone a spotlight on our inner. lonely space And she sang and she played And she played and she sang I’ve come tonight to whisper in your ears I’ve come tonight to shout it loud I’ve come tonight to show the secrets of the world I’ve come tonight to tell the secrets of the heart Will you listen? Will you listen? Will you listen? I am a professional piano player and teacher, but songwriting is something I would like to spend more time with. I enjoy singing but would not consider myself an accomplished singer. All of the songs are recorded live, with minimal editing. I am well aware that the resulting videos (especially the audio quality) are not always of the highest quality, but it was not the intention to make perfect productions, considering the time constraints of producing one song a week.

Around You Love. Song 4 of 52

Read more I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is number 4 of 52. Some of the songs have been recorded, some are in the works, some are half written and some haven't been written yet. Let's see how far I get. This was one of my first ever songs, written when I was 18. The text is from a young student and war refugee, Teddy, who was escaping form the Lebanese Civil War which started in 1975. He was staying with us in London, and used to expound about the beauties of the country and how he used to go skiing in the mountains in the morning and swimming in the ocean in the afternoon. War is a terrible thing. He didn't like the music I set to his text much. I think it was too typically English for him. He moved to the States many years ago and I lost contact. I hope he is doing alright. I don't think he will mind me posting this.I wish him well. I have played this song occasionally with bands, but never recorded it. It was generally seen as too complicated, having no real song structure ("It's three songs, not one!"). I have tried to rewrite it, to fit in more with listener expectations, but it is impossible for me. The form is set. It's impossible to please everybody and I don't try anymore but am happy if even one person enjoys my music. If you have like it, please share.

The Bigger the Lie Text and music: Peter Antony, 6 April 2014 Things ain't always as they seem But sometimes they are on this little blue dot And if a liar tells you he's lying Well it must be the truth or again, maybe it’s not You're just a propaganda victim And you've always been so willing When it's a red flag operation To condone the senseless killing So watch how the tail wags the dog Lies become truth, don’t look for proof Follow the line, don’t take the time to stop and think 'Cos the bigger the lie the harder to perceive The bigger the lie the easier to believe Just believe the lie - it’s easy, so easy Things ain't always as they seem ... 'Cos you're just a dogma victim And you've always been relying On a religious congregation To hear some common sense denying So watch how the tail wags the dog ... But me, i only lie in bed And listen to your lonely tales Of the love you thought you lost When he lied to you in yours and said He would stay forever Things ain't always as they seem ... You’re just another capitalist victim And you’ve always been consuming Blind to financial manipulation And political truth-confusing So watch how the tail wags the dog ...

Sadly, I just heard he recently passed away. He played in one of my favourite band's in the Heidelberg of my younger years. A band called, After the Storm. I wrote this song shortly after the 45th president came to power. It still seems relevant. It should be on the next memes.and.dreams album, hopefully coming out in the fall of 2021.

Nasty girl” He says, “I heard it from a credible source Don’t know who, but It was the biggest ever The photos lie, just like the press I am the best, I am the the greatest I never lie I said it, so it must be true Even if you think it makes no sense Just ask Pence and Rudi and Kelly Anne Who recites alternative facts - such a good plan - I’m so great” Divide and conquer It’s been done before He tries to raise the banner Of intolerance and war But don’t be fooled by this carrot of a man Give him no chance, refuse his hateful plan After the storm When the fool is gone When right beat wrong And we all belong To the same old world And it was so absurd That his lies were heard And the truth was blurred After the storm When the fool is gone In that great debate We can all relate You know love beats hate He says, “I’ll build a wall, tall and strong It’s so wrong to let the hombres in A bunch of sinners who hopefully don’t know, there’s other ways to go Tunnel or plane, it’s so insane Should I try again with some other folk Maybe from the Middle East The press will make a feast, but I don’t care I’ll rant on twitter and let them share My crazy thoughts with all the world My narcissism unfurled - I’m so great” If you have like it, please share.

The Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory. Song 15 of 52

Read more Music and Text: Peter Antony - more info below. Katja Wesch on Bass I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 15 of 52. I wrote this song on 9 September for a Limbus [Club] (@) session in September 2016. the theme being 9-11. The song will be on the next memes.and.dreams album. This ad lib version was recorded, with Katja Wesch on bass, in early 2016, when Trump's Election, Corona and QAnon were the most prevalent conspiracies. The text does not give any particular insights into why conspiracy theories gain such acceptance apart from pointing out the ubiquitousness of the rabbit hole. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities to update the text in the future. https://www.peterantony.de Conspiracy Peter Antony 11 September 2016 A section: ||: Am | F#m7/5b | Fmaj7 | Bb maj7 :|| B section ||: C#m7 | Em7/9 | Fmaj7 | B+7 :|| Lead me up the garden path Twist the truth - its on its head Right to left and back to front Upside down, turn it all around I trust my gut The red meat soothsayer Truth-slayer Never-been-no-use player Illuminati Free Masons Trilateral Commission Rothschild Reptile elite Aliens Pyramids Crop Circles Dollar signs Area 51 Paul is dead Elvis lives Hillary's sick Barack was born in Kenya But who killed Kennedy?

Revitalise. Song 14 of 52

Read more Music and Text: Peter Antony - more information below. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is song 14 of 52. This song was written for a musical that I was asked to write for a school's anniversary. The musical uses the story of Homer's re-telling of the Trojan War and the Odyssey but set in the modern day. This song is towards the end of the story and is the parallel to Penelope wanting to rekindle her relationship with Odysseus. While writing this, it is the start of Spring. I choose this song to reflect the season. Although basically a pop song, in this version; I slowed the tempo and added the ethereal voices to reflect the protagonists recollections and reference the spirituality of the period around Easter (I recorded this on Good Friday and finished editing on Easter Sunday). https://www.peterantony.de Revitalise Walking down the main street, Looking for your face. Thinking of the night before, When I was at your place. We smoked a little, drank a little Made it through the night, Lennon's music playing, We played until first light. Revitalise, let's do it all again. Tell you no lies, be more than just a friend. Capitalise, on the time we had, Revitalise, revitalise. Disappointment reaches out, Trying to pull me down. Swinging through the phases, Of this merry-go-round. Let's rise above it one more time, And see what we can do, I can handle this frustration, But I'd rather be with you. Revitalise, let's do it all again. Tell you no lies, be more than just a friend. Capitalise, on the time we had, Revitalise, revitalise. 52 songs playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

Inside of me, so I can see, Where to go, and who goes there with me. So, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one, Who will always be by me. Love is nice, but that doesn't pay the rent. Wisdom helps, but then beauty's heaven sent, And maybe love is the key to all. But strength and power can save me from a fall. So, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one, Who will always be by me. Which way to choose, which way to go. I wish that I could have the lot. To make a choice like him before, Wisdom, power, love, or what. Maybe then, well I should think of the past, And what Paris chose at last, Even though it caused a war. Love and beauty, two things I adore. So, you're the one, you're the one, You're the one, you're the one. You're the one, you're the one.

Unprepared. Song 9 of 52

Read more Music: Peter Antony. I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. Although it might not be classified as a "song", I have nevertheless included this in the list. it is song 09 of 52. By chance, I came across this beautiful grand piano that had been prepared for a concert the following day. The piano was prepared by inserting small pieces of plastic between various strings to change the timbre and intonation. The composer had specified exactly where and how the plastic was to be inserted and exactly what the performer was to play in the concert. I was unprepared for this and started messing with the sounds until I found something I liked. I then played this piece. It is a true improvisation and would be almost impossible to recreate (if one ever wanted to). It has a unique and undefinable quality that I have grown to quite like. 52 songs for 2021 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmhR43Bq46FWJVY5OLOtka8R8pNcYQb_ I am a professional piano player and teacher: songwriting is more of a hobby.

I say no: let’s watch walls fall. We don’t need barriers between us all Sometimes it’s her, sometimes it’s me Sometimes it just ain’t meant to be No simple answer to please the masses, The base impassive and obsessive No easy answer No fountain of youth, no oracle of truth No knight in shining armour on a white horse To put you back on course and To heed the cries of fake news that you live and breathe I got the blues ‘Cos I’m up against the wall And I can’t recall where my mind was going While my heart was searching for the way to the other side For the way over. Not knowing how to describe the barricades I can’t decide Are they just inside Four walls in my mind, blind to the outside. Now I’m climbing up the wall, looking tall. And maybe I’ll just sit on the wall From up here, you look so small Don’t make me come down there To see if anybody really cares Turn around - put your back against the wall Turn around - and see they they’re just like you Turn around - climb up and look over What do you see? The same as me? I don’t know where I started from, the differences receding - all gone Build a wall, build a wall, they say. I say no: let’s watch walls fall. We don’t need barriers between us all Knock down this wall Mr. Gorbachov.

Suzanne. Song 6 of 52.

Read more Text: Peter Antony; Music: Peter Antony and Emma Kirkbride I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. Some of the songs have been recorded, some are in the works, some are half written and some haven't been written yet. Let's see how far I get. This is song 6 of 52. On 6th February 2014, I went to a Suzanne Vega concert in Bristol (graffiti city) with some of my friends and fellow students studying for a Masters degree in Songwriting at the nearby Bath Spa University (Corsham Court). It was a great concert and a great night. This song was inspired by the events and by Suzanne's songs, some of which are cryptically referred to in the verses. I recorded this version exactly seven years later, on 6th February 2021. www.peterantony.de Suzanne Night time in graffiti city The way to the top went round and round Turn back, turn back she vainly cried It’s not the way to the sonic playground We had strayed into a Kafka novel On high we finally saw the lights We could see the way before us As we headed down - into the long black night And she sang and she played And she played and she sang I’ve come tonight to whisper in your ears I’ve come tonight to shout it loud I’ve come tonight to tell the secrets of the world I’ve come tonight to show the secrets of the heart Will you listen? Will you listen? Will you listen? She sang of Queens in barren rooms And soldiers going off to war She sang of truth and childhood lost And cracks appearing in the walls She locked us in with her piercing stare And kept us rooted in that darkened place She spoke directly to our concealed desires And shone a spotlight on our inner. lonely space And she sang and she played And she played and she sang I’ve come tonight to whisper in your ears I’ve come tonight to shout it loud I’ve come tonight to show the secrets of the world I’ve come tonight to tell the secrets of the heart Will you listen? Will you listen? Will you listen? I am a professional piano player and teacher, but songwriting is something I would like to spend more time with. I enjoy singing but would not consider myself an accomplished singer. All of the songs are recorded live, with minimal editing. I am well aware that the resulting videos (especially the audio quality) are not always of the highest quality, but it was not the intention to make perfect productions, considering the time constraints of producing one song a week.

It is a piano solo that I used as an interlude in a musical I was commissioned to write over 20 years ago (The Trip). There is a notated version of the main theme here: https://musescore.com/user/10402471/scores/6166713 I am not trying to please anybody in particular. It's impossible to please everybody anyway and I don't try anymore, but am happy if even one person enjoys my music. This project is also a form of self-motivation in these difficult times. If you like it, please share. If you have some constructive criticism or praise, let me know. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself. www.peterantony.de

Around You Love. Song 4 of 52

Read more I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is number 4 of 52. Some of the songs have been recorded, some are in the works, some are half written and some haven't been written yet. Let's see how far I get. This was one of my first ever songs, written when I was 18. The text is from a young student and war refugee, Teddy, who was escaping form the Lebanese Civil War which started in 1975. He was staying with us in London, and used to expound about the beauties of the country and how he used to go skiing in the mountains in the morning and swimming in the ocean in the afternoon. War is a terrible thing. He didn't like the music I set to his text much. I think it was too typically English for him. He moved to the States many years ago and I lost contact. I hope he is doing alright. I don't think he will mind me posting this.I wish him well. I have played this song occasionally with bands, but never recorded it. It was generally seen as too complicated, having no real song structure ("It's three songs, not one!"). I have tried to rewrite it, to fit in more with listener expectations, but it is impossible for me. The form is set. It's impossible to please everybody and I don't try anymore but am happy if even one person enjoys my music. If you have like it, please share. If you have some comments, constructive criticism or praise, let me know. If you don't like it, that's ok, but keep it to yourself. www.peterantony.de Around You Love Intro D. Em. F. Em. D. Em. F.

The Bigger the Lie. Song 3 of 52

Read more I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is number 3 of 52. Some of the songs have been recorded, some are in the works, some are half written and some haven't been written yet. Let's see how far I get. This song was first released on the 2016 memes.and.dreams album. https://youtu.be/Q3NFprHaP8s To get this version sounding more like the original, use the neat YouTube feature and set the playback speed to 0.75. https://www.memesandreams.com www.peterantony.de A lead sheet version is available here: https://musescore.com/user/10402471/scores/6559542 If you have like it, please share. If you have some constructive criticism, let me know. If you don't like it, that's ok, but keep it to yourself. The Bigger the Lie Text and music: Peter Antony, 6 April 2014 Things ain't always as they seem But sometimes they are on this little blue dot And if a liar tells you he's lying Well it must be the truth or again, maybe it’s not You're just a propaganda victim And you've always been so willing When it's a red flag operation To condone the senseless killing So watch how the tail wags the dog Lies become truth, don’t look for proof Follow the line, don’t take the time to stop and think 'Cos the bigger the lie the harder to perceive The bigger the lie the easier to believe Just believe the lie - it’s easy, so easy Things ain't always as they seem ... 'Cos you're just a dogma victim And you've always been relying On a religious congregation To hear some common sense denying So watch how the tail wags the dog ... But me, i only lie in bed And listen to your lonely tales Of the love you thought you lost When he lied to you in yours and said He would stay forever Things ain't always as they seem ... You’re just another capitalist victim And you’ve always been consuming Blind to financial manipulation And political truth-confusing So watch how the tail wags the dog ...

I don’t wanna go to school today. Verse: Now I’m a man, I often have to say I don’t wanna go to work today I just wanna stay with you and play. I don’t like faking, and stupid bosses, I don’t like being told what to do. When all I know is, when all I know is, I’ll be missing you. I don’t wanna go to work today. Bridge: | Gm7 Am7 | D | Bm7 | Gj7 | A11 | Gm7 | A7/9b/11| Gm7 Am7 | D | D | The sum of our lives, is the hours spent giving, The hours spent caring, the hours spent with you. And when you’ve paid Time its due, The sum of our lives is the hours spent loving. Verse 3: At some time in my life I guess I’ll have to say I don’t, I don’t wanna die today I just wanna stay with you and play I like to sing with you, I like to dance with you I like to laugh with you, I like to be with you And all I know is, and all I know is, I’ll be missing you.

After the Storm. Song 2 of 52

Read more I made a New Year's Resolution to post an unplugged or minimalist version of one of my songs every week for the whole of 2021. This is number 2 of 52. Some of the songs have been recorded, some are in the works, some are half written and some haven't been written yet. Let's see how far I get. www.peterantony.de I wrote this song shortly after the 45th president came to power. It still seems relevant. It should be on the next memes.and.dreams album, hopefully coming out in the fall of 2021. I left the mistakes in to show it was live and to see who is paying attention. After the Storm Text and music: Peter Antony, 5 February 2017 He says, “The women love me I touch them here I touch them there I don’t care I’m a star But she’s a crook I’ll throw the book at her, 'cos I can Yes I’m the man who can and will Put her away for twenty years and a day. Nasty girl” He says, “I heard it from a credible source Don’t know who, but It was the biggest ever The photos lie, just like the press I am the best, I am the the greatest I never lie I said it, so it must be true Even if you think it makes no sense Just ask Pence and Rudi and Kelly Anne Who recites alternative facts - such a good plan - I’m so great” Divide and conquer It’s been done before He tries to raise the banner Of intolerance and war But don’t be fooled by this carrot of a man Give him no chance, refuse his hateful plan After the storm When the fool is gone When right beat wrong And we all belong To the same old world And it was so absurd That his lies were heard And the truth was blurred After the storm When the fool is gone In that great debate We can all relate You know love beats hate He says, “I’ll build a wall, tall and strong It’s so wrong to let the hombres in A bunch of sinners who hopefully don’t know, there’s other ways to go Tunnel or plane, it’s so insane Should I try again with some other folk Maybe from the Middle East The press will make a feast, but I don’t care I’ll rant on twitter and let them share My crazy thoughts with all the world My narcissism unfurled - I’m so great”

Die Luft brennt. Bier und Chips bereithalten, rät der Chronist.

Goodbye Porkpie Hat at the Limbus [Club]

Read more The Limbus [Club] musicians playing a very free version of Goodbye Porkpie Hat by Charles Mingus. The Limbus [Club] meets once a month in the Jazzhaus in Heidelberg, Germany and performs an eclectic mix of words and music based on a given theme. The themes are varied and change every month. In March 2012, the theme was Charlie's Tantra which is a word play on the title of the film Charlie's Tante (Charlie's Aunt). The music is not rehearsed and arrangements are done in real time. This tightrope walking can lead to some very interesting and unexpected results (even if not always perfect). The two readers/wordsmiths, Heiner Grombein and Leif Schmitt, provide inspirational, satirical or provoking texts, interacting with the music pieces. The musicians are all professionals involved in various band, solo, recording, composing, theatre and teaching projects, but this is their once a month chance to let their musical hair down, with a no-holes-barred approach and with no prisoners taken. Not for easy listening fans. They are collecting a small but dedicated cult following.

The Sound of Songwriting

Read more Submission (January 2015) for the History of Song module of the Master of Music (MMus) in Songwriting at Bath Spa University. Using three songs as examples, the video examines how genre, groove, harmony, timbre, instrumentation, harmony, production and performance can be so paramount that they can be regarded as much an integral part of the songwriting process and end result as the traditionally considered melody and text along with its resulting prosody. The songs are studied and compared for their genre-defining characteristics and universal dimensions as well as their unique qualities.
