Eric Stanley - Voltaire (Official Music Video)

Video created by Moving Silence 👉 movingsilence.com/
Why did I name this song "Voltaire?" It is named after the French philosopher François-Marie Arouet or famously named Voltaire. One of his most famous writings is called 'The Story of Candide.' Published in 1759, the fictional work begins in a baron’s castle in Germany, where the young Candide lives peacefully. Through a series of events, Candide travels throughout South America and Europe, where he sees and experiences misfortunes ranging from natural disasters to unjust acts of violence. In The Story of Candide, three dangers in life are listed. The first one is the danger of optimism. The second is the danger of success. The third is the danger of inaction. Candide’s quest to find meaning was also a quest for happiness. At a few points in the story, Candide reaches somewhere that should make him happy, but only brings dissatisfaction.
When Candide is reunited with his friends and beloved, once again, he should be happy. They’re free from wars, violence, and natural disasters. But they grow restless and bored. It is only when Candide meets a hard-working farmer that he realizes the one thing they need: purpose.
My goal was to be a successful violinist and to inspire others. This will be the only original song I release. When I made this song, I was the most happiest and content I've ever been in my life. I will never be able to recreate this feeling again but hopefully you can experience a little bit of what I felt the day by listening to it.
I hope that I inspired you. Take care and stay inspired.

Mr. Eric Stanley, young man! I stumbled upon your FB post and was deeply moved what I read. I had never heard of you (shame on me) because I love hearing a solo artist showcase their gift(s) on an instrument. Because an instrument no matter how beautiful or expensive, is nothing until someone plays it. The artist brings it to life and cause people to lend their ear and listen. So, "ThankYou!" Five words made the difference in your life: "Eric, you will be great!" from someone who believed in you - your violin teacher - Mr. Yasha Tulchinsky. I'm sure his heart was made glad to see that you are the accomplished violinist that you've become. And not by his words alone. Having you to take a "look in the mirror" was the beginning of you believing for yourself what he already believed for you! I'm sure since 2015, you have gone places and met some people beyond whatever you can think or image. CONGRATULATIONS! This song "Voltaire" is phenomenal, because your heart and soul was into it. I will be exploring KZbin to hear other pieces from you. May God continue to bless you with the mind to write and create, and your hands & fingers to keeping bringing to life your music.
