Sometimes it feels that the world is just doomed, right? Leonard Cohen was able to capture this feeling in his unique metaphoric style in this cynic song.

Saturday morning Blues Piano improvisation my by son, Jan-Lukas. He just wanted to be on YouTube so badly, so we spontaneously recorded his piano playing. Give him a like and subscribe to the channel, if you enjoyed it. We will create more videos with him ;-)

In December 2019 my wife had a miscarriage, which struck us both very hard. When I first got the message, I realised how I had come to love this unborn child without even knowing it. On my way home from work I started wondering about what this child would have become. What kind of character would it have, which interests, which appearance? Nobody will ever know.
A few days later my wife found this quote on social media, which we both thought was beautiful. That's how this song came about.
"An angel opened the book of life,
wrote down our baby's birth.
Then whispered as he closed the book;
"Too beautiful for Earth!"
LYRICS
I wonder if I had the chance to see
Your little smile, your eyes that looked at me
Would they be blue just like the sea?
Or like mine, brown and green?
Would your crying keep us awake at night?
Or would you sleep until the morning light?
Would you prefer to play with dolls or dice?
Either would be alright.
An angel looked at you before your birth.
He said you were too beautiful for Earth.
When you grew up would you explore the world?
Or built a cosy home as you preferred?
Would you play the tunes by Jerry Lee?
Or Beethoven's symphonies?
I wonder would you be profound and sane?
Or rather be born to entertain?
Would you be the analytic brain?
Or the empathic friend?
An angel looked at you before your birth.
He said you were too beautiful for Earth.
Gone before I could give you a name,
I feel your presence on the empty chair.
There's nothing to do, and noone to blame.
This void is more than I can bear.
An angel looked at you before your birth.
He said you were too beautiful for Earth.
He whispered you're too beautiful for Earth.
