Walking Away
There is an interesting story behind this singer.
Re: What music are you listening too?
Not a secret, the lens through which I try make sense of reality, human nature and our never ending efforts to rise above the damned ape. An effort that turns to be mostly at our own peril..

A Merry & monkey wise Xmas to all
“More Than a Monkey”
Verse 1
He swings through the trees like he’s royalty,
Chest out, chin high, claiming nobility.
Says, “I’m not just a creature with hands and a tail—
I’m a legend in motion, I was born to prevail.”
Pre-Chorus
But the jungle keeps whispering, softly, sincerely:
“You’re a monkey, my friend… quite clearly.”
Chorus
But he says, “No, no, no, I’m more than a monkey,
I’m a dream in the making, a mind running free.
I’m a poet, a prophet, a king of the canopy—
Don’t put that label on me.”
Oh, he’s in denial, climbing up the sky,
Trying to rewrite his own family line.
He says, “I’m more than a monkey—
Just watch me defy.”
Verse 2
He polishes rocks like they’re precious gold,
Practices speeches he’s never told.
Stares at his reflection like destiny’s near,
But the moment he screeches, the truth reappears.
Pre-Chorus
Still the forest keeps laughing, gently, politely:
“You’re a monkey, my friend… most likely.”
Chorus
But he says, “No, no, no, I’m more than a monkey,
A misunderstood genius no one can see.
I’m a thinker, a seeker, a future celebrity—
Don’t put that label on me.”
Oh, he keeps denying, reaching for the sun,
Running from a truth he can’t outrun.
He says, “I’m more than a monkey—
My story’s just begun.”
Bridge
Maybe dreams are bigger than the names we’re given,
Maybe evolution’s just a state we live in.
And if he wants to be more than what he seems,
Who are we to cage another creature’s dreams?
Final Chorus
So he shouts, “No, no, no, I’m more than a monkey,
More than these branches, more than what you see.
I’m a miracle climbing through possibility—
You won’t put that label on me.”
And though the world keeps saying what he is inside,
He keeps on swinging with unbroken pride.
“Yes, I’m more than a monkey—
Just watch me rise.”

Re: What music are you listening too?
Live streamed Saturday January 13th, 2024
Conductor - Olha Dondyk
Piano - Antonii Baryshevskyi
Piano - Anna Fedorova
Orchestra: Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
Lunyov - Libera me for string orchestra
Silvestrov - Epitaph
Chopin - Second piano concerto
For almost two years now, war is raging in Ukraine. Countless civilians have fled their country, leaving behind everything they have. More that a hundred thousand have found refuge in the Netherlands; many of whom are hosted in the homes of those volunteering to do so. The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra wants to give a helping hand as well. Musicians may not have the power to end a war, but music can keep the hope for a better day, and the believe in humanity and solidarity alive.
Therefore, as a gesture of solidarity, we invited thirteen Ukrainian musicians that have fled to come and give a concert together. On Saturday, January 13th they will share the music stand with the members of our orchestra. The young Ukrainian supertalent Olha Dondyk joins as a conductor, Ukrainian pianists Antonii Baryshevskyi and Anna Fedorova will play works by Silvestrov and Chopin.
"Music matters" says Anna Fedorova. "Music makes you feel what you are willing to fight for, it gives us perspective, and that is something very powerful."
The proceeds and donations for this concert all go to War Child: No child has ever started a war. Even so, 230 million children worldwide grow up in situations of war and violence. They feel unsafe, scared, aggresive and are afraid of seeking out aid. Warchild provides them with psycho-social support, protection and education. Globally. Through music, sports and playing games, we help these children to process their impactful experiences. This way, they are able to regain their self-confidence and their ability to confide in others. This is of great importance, because children should never have to experience a war. Ever.
This concert is made possible by the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra All the proceeds and donations go directly to War Child.
