Still

A short calm piano piece by Richard to add some peace into your day or evening. From the artist: I was in a misty landscape by a lake. The wind and lake was still. I found stillness. Not without emotion but with a new peace of mind and some sense of dignity in the humanness and vulnerability of being open to sorrow. And in that way also letting it pass. Some days later this short musical piece came. In this recording I have tried something new. In my home i have an old upright piano (from ca 1910). It has moved with me everytime I move and has really become like a ragged old friend. I have earlier been hesitant to record it because the sound is a bit rough and you always get unwanted sound of the mechanics in the piano. Recently I'm starting to see the beauty of imperfection. Perhaps when you can enjoy the singularities and imperfection of people and things it is also easier to see the beauty in yourself and accept yourself as you are.

Truly beautiful. To me the mechanics add to the warmth and real ness of the piece. Brings back memories of my nannas piano - old and wonderful. Thank you for having the courage to share.

Richard, this piece is absolutely beautiful- and I love what you shared about how you came to see and accept imperfections just as they are. I think it’s a profound lesson for us all. I know it is for me. This piece may have its imperfections yet from that comes wisdom and beauty, authenticity and vulnerability, which to me seems absolutely perfect when I sink into the depth and freedom it brings forth! I am sooo grateful you recorded this! 💕🙏🏼💕
