https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8WNhgVeMhk Estranged By Natalia Vega Maisonave specially written for “Estranged” by Piano Del Cuore. It’s interesting, the way the world works. There are around 7.9 billion humans living in it, each in their own unique little world. What were the odds that you and I would end up together? Two out of 7.9 billion people. Almost impossible. The fact that we exist in the same time and space is more than just luck for me. But finding out that my feelings weren’t one sided… it felt like I was one of God’s favorites. I’ve spent hours memorizing your small...
Piano Del Cuore – Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b33tqOIeHM Mela By Natalia Vega Maisonave specially written for “Time” by Piano Del Cuore. As I sit on the park bench, in front of children playing, I see my small girl–Mela–run and smile. Her toothy grin makes anyone smile along, and I look towards her like fool in awe. She plays with the other kids, as if her past seven years of life had been nothing but calming, sweet memories. Although she has a warm and caring family now, I can’t help but feel anger as I remember the state she was in when we first met her. ~~~...
Piano Del Cuore – Tenderness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3L_FTo4-Pg Lessons in Unexpected Tenderness By Dani Moreno specially written for “Tenderness” by Piano Del Cuore. I’m not sure I would have simply wanted to tell my story, but I would have loved to tell hers. Somehow though, I know the right story to tell is ours, even if it doesn’t exactly belong to the two of us. It is a story about the things we gave each other and eventually offered to the world around us. The little things, the brilliant moments, even those that hurt but, most importantly, about the tenderness that made us who we are. The first...
Piano Del Cuore – Reminisce
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iglzA_JFpHk Lights off By Norma Vásquez specially written for ‘’Reminisce’’ by Piano Del Cuore. It was always easy to turn on the light. In fact, without light, I would not have the memories that come with me today. Light is, without a doubt, a crucial element in the creation of memories. It has always been magical for me how we, humans, have the capacity to capture light and reflect it on surfaces. Yes. Magical. Or maybe unreal. I don't know. The best legacy of mankind is this: the ability we have to catch moments and capture them. To make them...
Piano Del Cuore – Cherish
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdYdbc9s6Ys The Harrow Brothers By Natalia Vega Maisonave specially written for ‘’Cherish’’ by Piano Del Cuore. “But don’t let him get too close,” my brother Caisson warned me. “If you let them get too close, you’ll have to use your sword.” I draw my bowstring closer to me, aim at the soldier charging at me and release it–a clean hit on the forehead. Caisson grips my shoulders hard and shakes me, “Great shot, Ren!” I smile. The satisfaction of making my brother proud is better than shooting a perfect arrow. Although we’re only a year apart in age,...
Piano Del Cuore – Sacramento River
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GOd0VqxZQo Sacramento River By Christina Goudis The day begins with the Californian sun gleaming on the Sacramento River. The sun never stops shining in California in its blue skies just as the serene currents of the Sacramento River never stop flowing. The River gives a purpose to people. People need nature. It serves its nearby fertile grounds to Coast Ranges, Sierra Nevada, and the Sacramento Valley where the farmers rely on its grand source of water and fertile ground to produce crops. The Sacramento River even flows through the volcanic lands of Northeastern California. The river has lived through...
Piano Del Cuore – Quirky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVEmi6iyYOk Quirky By Farirai Manonose Selene lived unseen, all on her lonesome, in a small brick house on the side of a hill. It was a cold solitary place, and it was glorious. The sun was never quite bright, but a soft light filtered by grey clouds and snowstorms tickled her eyelids open every morning. Here in the mountains with her records and her books, Selene couldn’t have been more alone or more at home. She couldn’t have had more freedom. Here she had no need to protect herself, and so her heart was on her sleeve for all...
Piano Del Cuore – Recall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZyco9Rsf8w Recall By Farirai Manonose To you. Your infectious laugh and the sound of your voice, it’s all fading from memory. I hold on to times past as if my life depends on it. I hold on to them like a man clutching to a piece of driftwood in the ocean. What will happen when it disintegrates? When it decays from the passing of the years. I wonder, will I sink, or will I swim? If I sink, will you come and rescue me? It’s a cliché I know, but you wouldn’t believe how true it is, that without...
Piano Del Cuore – Nighty Night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfkBkcYPAww Nighty Night By Natalia Vega Maisonave Through a small opening between the window curtains, a soft light enters my room, coloring everything in a blue hue. The only thing that calls for attention is the clock by the dresser marking 11:41 PM with its bright red LED light. I get up from the bed and walk to the window, opening the curtains fully so the light can reach whatever it wants. The road outside is lined in both sides by bars and restaurants in full swing. From this third floor, one can clearly see all the people’s faces....
Piano Del Cuore – East River Blues
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypzvLGJz90A East River By Christina Goudis Day by day as the water currents flow, people walk past East River with all things flowing in their life as the river does. People walk on the pavement path besides the river and the bridges above it rushing to work, rushing to an appointment or meeting. People are running along the path or walking for their workout. Mothers are walking their babies in their strollers. Friends are walking sharing laughter. People are walking sharing their story whether it be their joys or their blues. People walk alone with their thoughts, or their...
