Tom Howard's album, View From The Bridge, is a delightful collection of instrumental music that showcases the artist's mastery of the piano. The album features ten original compositions, each one a unique and captivating piece of music.
From the opening track, "View From The Bridge," the listener is transported to a world of beauty and tranquility. The gentle, flowing melodies of the piano are accompanied by subtle percussion and rich, warm strings. The result is a sound that is both soothing and uplifting.
Throughout the album, Howard's skill as a composer and pianist is evident. His compositions are complex and nuanced, yet always accessible and enjoyable. Whether he is playing a gentle ballad like "Aria" or a more upbeat piece like "Rain Dance," Howard's touch on the keys is always sensitive and expressive.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Crossing." This piece begins with a haunting melody played on the piano, which is then joined by a mournful cello. As the music builds, the percussion and strings come in, creating a dramatic and emotional climax.
Tom Howard, from View From the Bridge
Self-imposed outside, weary from defeat
Without your true provider within, you’re incomplete
I thought I saw you standing just outside the door
The places are prepared now; What are you waiting for?
Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin
Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin
Such a grand provision, perfect in its plan
He gave us a decision, yeah, put it in our hands
Preach the truth in love here, free to disobey
Open up and enter in, or turn and walk away
Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin
Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin
(Instrumental break)
Where they’re seen a-falling, you know the flowers shall appear
Can’t a-fill this crawling, you know the body flies near
Here we find the secret; the fact is very plain
Cling to life or lose it, surrender entertain
Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin
Ah, Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin
Woah, come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past time to begin
Woah, Come on in (Come on in)
Come on in (Come on in)
It’s well past the time to begin (It’s well past the time to begin)
It’s well past the time to begin (It’s well past the time to begin)
It’s well past the time to begin (It’s well past the time to begin)
It’s well past the time to begin (It’s well past the time to begin)
