Here I Love You ~ Pablo Neruda

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.

Oh the black cross of a ship.
Alone.
Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
This is a port.
Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.
The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.

A Magic Moment I Remember - Pushkin

A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare.

I pray to mute despair and anguish,
To vain pursuits the world esteems,
Long did I near your soothing accents,
Long did your features haunt my dreams.

Time passed. A rebel storm-blast scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.

In dark days of enforced retirement
I gazed upon grey skies above
With no ideals to inspire me,
No one to cry for, live for, love.

Then came a moment of renaissance,
I looked up - you again are there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that`s beautiful and rare.

Let These be Your Desires ~ Kahlil Gibran

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself
But if your love and must needs have desires,
Let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook
That sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
And give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer
For the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise upon your lips.

I Wish..

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

- Sheelagh Lennon -

Arnej

 

One of many talented producers that knows how to deal with soundscapes, beats and melodies, but has a sound like no other, is Canadian top producer Arnej. Look beyond the numerous signs of his musical schizophrenia and you’ll be surprised how well this music addict knows how to turn his tricks and hits into yet another diverse beat-beauty.
Arnej founded his success with tracks like ‘Rendezvous’, ‘The Ones That Get Away’, ‘The Return’ and ‘They Always Come Back’, all heavily supported by the DJ elite and reaching the crowd through names like Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Judge Jules, Pete Tong, David Guetta and Paul Oakenfold. Being tipped as favourite producer of 2008 by Armin van Buuren, receiving a nomination for ‘Best New Face of 2008′ at the Trance Awards, pouring out as many as 10 quality singles in this year alone, and remixing some of the most iconic names in trance, including Armin van Buuren, The Thrillseekers and Push aka M.I.K.E., have made Arnej’s prominence rise high and grow fast.
With Arnej’s first vocal track and collaboration with Josie and Jaren, ‘Strangers We’ve Become’, ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’, ‘They Need Us’ and ‘The Strings That Bind Us’ making waves across the scene, a video game soundtrack in the making and all the backup and support one might wish, Arnej is prepared for another year that will surely take his musical art to the next level.

Arnej and 8 Wonders - Beginning Of The End / The Crossover

Looks like Canadian producer/DJ Arnej Secerkadic suffers from a small identity-crisis. A little schizophreny never harmed creativity though, so we welcome Arnej and his 8 Wonders moniker all together on this A State of Trance release. With two proggy flavoured Arnej tracks, 'They Need Us' and 'Ping Pong', going round the dance scene at the moment, the mastermind behind 'Strangers We've Become', 'They Always Come Back' and 'The Ones That Get Away' is off to a swift start of 2010.

Those tracks were the perfect warm up for what was about to come, for this trancy duo is an absolute main course. The bulky beat of 'The Crossover' punches directly in the face, guided by a storm of distortion and dramatic synths. Driven by the unmistakable atmosphere of the 8Wonders moniker, Arnej made 'Beginning Of The End' reside on the darker side just the same, with another legendary, theatrical type of break. We'd like to think it's not the beginning of the end for Arnej, but more the end of the beginning. This talent is ready for the next phase in his already impressive musical career.

Arnej - The Strings That Bind Us

Fallacy was reigning supreme when Arnej made up the first notes of his new A State of Trance release. There's no way around it. 'The Strings That Bind Us' has such a strong, eerie ambience, that its 9 minutes of pure delusion will send you off to an outside world where nothing but the music matters. Not that Arnej's trying to delude anyone, creating new sounds and worlds within them, is part of his nature. Thousands - if not millions - of souls have gone lost in the world of Arnej's productions, with 'They Always Come Back', 'Dust In The Wind', 'Tomorrow Never Comes' and 'Beginning of the End' taking soul by soul. After the more uplifting, anti-Arnej track 'They Need Us', the Canadian mastermind returns to his deep and dark prog-trance with 'The Strings That Bind Us'.
Intense, deep-rooted synths swirl inside a maze of strings, intricate vocals effects and the surroundings of melodrama. With 'The Strings That Bind Us', Arnej's back doing the thing he's best in: creating new worlds with unforgettable, timeless productions.
You'll find 'The Strings That Bind Us' not only on your mp3 player, rocking your stereo or down the clubs, but also on Armin van Buuren's 'A State of Trance 2010'.

Arnej - The Day Will Come

The day has come. The day that Canadian producer Arnej Secerkadic once again shows he's a true master of soul-soothing prog-trance sounds. After exploring the very edge of music and all its options with the hauntingly beautiful 'They Always Come Back', 'Dust In The Wind', 'Tomorrow Never Comes' and 'The Strings That Bind Us', he ever still keeps his mind open to new rides into depth. Whether under his Arnej or 8 Wonders moniker, this guy's music and specific, unrivalled sound crawls under your skin time after time.

His latest creation, 'The Day Will Come', is another shadowy, remarkable prog tune. Tight beats, warping bass, a constant drive and deep synths take you in, along with a tension-building effect, perceptibly heading for its forceful conclusion.

On his '8 Wonders Remix', he embellishes the track with a more euphoric lead melody and bolder bassline. The day has come. The day you will enjoy your journey to the darker side of trance.

Aly & Fila feat. Sue McLaren - I Can Hear You

So far it's been a busy year for the successful DJ and producer duo Aly & Fila. Their Future Sound Of Egypt label joined forces with Armada Music and shortly after their first artist album 'Rising Sun' saw the light of day. The Egyptians hit the core of the trance scene with their singles 'My Mind Is With You' and 'Listening', and as one of the most popular producer duo's in the trance scene their current schedule includes countless gigs all around the globe.

For those that think they'd burn out, not even close! Aly & Fila still just can't get enough. With their new single 'I Can Hear You', also taken from their successful 'Rising Sun' album, they once again provide a tempting trancer, melodic and uplifting, just the way we like it. On the vocals, British singer Sue McLaren lent her lovely voice to the Egyptian duo. An explosive combination, set to bomb the dance floor.

Same side-effects come along with the two remixes of 'I Can Hear You'. Estonian DJ and producer Beat Service expands the track's melody and presents a new, euphoric uplifting part right after the vocal-driven break. Ukrainian producers Den Rize and Danish Mark Andrez teamed up and created a lovely, less vocal focussed rework of 'I Can Hear You'. Can you hear it?

Support by:

Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Paul van Dijk, Roger Shah, Ernesto vs. Bastian, Ashley Wallbridge, Simon Patterson, John O'Callaghan, John Askew, Lange, TyDi, Richard Durand, Cosmic Gate, David Forbes, Jorn van Deynhoven, Myon & Shane 54
