even at the risk of annoying you by constantly harping on about how incredibly stupid and uninhibitedly destructive we humans are towards our planet and all life around us, here is another piece of work. 

I wrote the original 12 years ago after a rainy walk around hamburg's alster lake (just google it and see how beautiful this place in the middle of the city is). me and carina, we enjoyed the unique atmosphere, gazed at the sky with its colossal cloud formations and 1000 shades of blue and grey, the diverse play of colours and textures created by the millions of raindrops, the rainfilled leafy branches of the trees, the bushes, the grasses...

while seeing and hearing and smelling and feeling all these unparalleled wonders, roy batty's iconic monologue from the film blade runner came to our mind: ‘I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the tannhäuser gate. all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. time to die’.

we concluded that we also have some very nice motifs on earth.

at that time, there were still a few hopeful signs that humanity would manage to preserve all these magnificent phenomena on our planet and courageously commit to a future worth living.

and today?

(just to explain: whenever the sky turned red in the evening, my mother used to tell us that the angels were baking bread. for me, that made sunset the first great mystery of life…)

We’ve seen the angels baking bread
We've seen the sky burst into red
We've seen the moonlight wax and wane
We've seen the stars carve out a name

We’ve seen a million clouds go by
We’ve seen the mountains kiss the sky
We’ve seen the starlings' sculpted swarms
We’ve seen the eyes of mighty storms

We’ve seen it all

We’ve seen the rivers twist and bend
We’ve seen blue streams that never end
We’ve seen the crystal sparks of rain
We've seen no day will bring the same

We’ve seen the trees dance in the breeze
We've seen the summer's busy bees
We’ve seen how winter worlds can freeze
We've seen all seasons full of ease

We've seen it all

We’ve seen so many things and more
We’ve seen we’ve never seen before
We’ve seen a world of wonderlands
We’ve seen what now forever ends

We’ve seen it coming all too well
We’ve seen our heaven turn to hell
We've seen it and we let it go
We've seen it. Cut. End of the show.

We've seen it all
We've seen it all too good
We've seen it all
We've seen it all too good

We've seen it all

wait by the window
pray through the sight

for a dollar
in my pocket
for my country
who’d have thought?

don’t stand by the window
outmanned and alone

after drinking
(check my cheekpiece)
i can hit it
(pull the bolt back)
without thinking
(keep my hands loose)
what i’ve done

i’m waiting now by the window
i don’t know how to get home

for a dollar
in my pocket
for my country
wrong or right

after drinking
(check my cheekpiece)
i can hit it
(pull the bolt back)
without thinking
(keep my hands loose)
what i’ve done

My Lil Shit Forever (Remix)

My Lil Shit Forever (Remix) (Sped Up)

A new Rock version of a song that I wrote in 2020.
Lyrics below:

I WAS A BIT BORED
WHILE CRUISIN' ONE NIGHT
IN MY OLD 31 FORD
AND THEN I SAW A GTO
WITH IT'S PIPES BLASTIN'
I KNEW IT WAS ALL SHOW
HE WAS LOOKIN' AND SMILIN'
AND WE SAW NO COPS
SOON, OUR TIRES WERE SMOKIN'
WE RAN SIDE BY SIDE
FROM RED LIGHT TO RED LIGHT
MAN, HE WAS HURTIN' MY PRIDE
AS HIS LIGHTS WERE FADIN'
OUT OF NOWHERE
BLUE LIGHTS WERE FLASHIN'
THE COPS CAUGHT THE GTO
AND I KNEW HE WAS IN TROUBLE
HE HAD NOWHERE TO GO
ON THE OUTSIDE OF TOWN
I HID BEHIND A CHURCH
WHILE MY NERVES SETTLED DOWN
THE DRIVER OF THE GTO
 SPENT THE NIGHT IN JAIL
I WAS LUCKY DON'T YOU KNOW
(GUITAR SOLO)
YEA, I WAS A BIT BORED
WHILE CRUISIN' ONE NIGHT
IN MY OLD 31 FORD
THEN I SAW A GTO
WITH IT'S PIPES BLASTIN'
I KNEW IT WAS ALL SHOW
YEA, I KNEW IT WAS ALL SHOW
