DARK (SEPTEMBER 2016)

like the sun, you shine for me
like stars strewn above the trees
in the darkest hour you're all I see
cosmic fairytale standing next to me

cool green on earnest blue

you are the sun on a cloudy day
mere sight of you sends warmth my way
I am the harbor to your sea
trading chaos for serenity 

cool green on earnest blue
flawless connection, me and you

I'll be your mountain you can be my trees
I'll bloom for you in your fields of green
in the strongest storm, you are retreat 
cosmic fairytale standing next to me

cool green on earnest blue 
flawless connection, me and you

Earnest Blue

Lyrics:

Nothing’s gonna happen
I’m sinking in a fantasy 
If we love each other
Why can’t we be dreaming together?

Nothing’s gonna happen
I cannot stand reality
Does true love only exist?
I don’t want to live in a french movie

Living in a French Movie

---------

Für uns, denen der Pfosten der Tür verbrannt ist,
an dem die Jahre der Kindheit
Zentimeter für Zentimeter
eingetragen waren.
Die wir keinen Baum
in unseren Garten pflanzten,
um den Stuhl
in seinen wachsenden Schatten zu stellen.
Die wir am Hügel niedersetzen
als seien wir zu Hirten bestellt
der Wolkenschafe, die auf der blauen
Weide über den Ulmen dahinziehn.
Für uns, die stets unterwegs sind
– lebenslängliche Reise,
wie zwischen Planeten –
nach einem neuen Beginn.
Für uns
stehen die Herbstzeitlosen auf
in den braunen Wiesen des Sommers,
und der Wald füllt sich
mit Brombeeren und Hagebutten –
Damit wir in den Spiegel sehen
und es lernen
unser Gesicht zu lesen,
in dem die Ankunft
sich langsam entblößt.

---------------

Pour nous, dont l'enfance fut mesurée, 
centimètre après centimètre, 
au cadre d'une porte qui a brûlé. 

Nous, qui ne nous asseyons pas sous l'ombre, 
chaque année plus grande, dans le jardin 
– l'arbre, nous ne l'avons pas planté. 

Nous, couchés sur la colline, 
tels des bergers menant les nuages 
qui s'étendent, au-dessus des ormes, 
sur les bleus pâturages. 

Pour nous, toujours en chemin, 
- voyage à vie, 
comme entre des planètes - 
après un nouveau départ. 

Pour nous se lèvent 
les colchiques 
dans les prairies sombres de l'été, 
et la forêt s'emplit 
de mûres et de baies d'églantiers 

Pour nous voir 
dans le miroir 
et apprendre 
à lire notre visage, 

dans lequel la venue 
lentement se dénude

Neosignal's digital imprint Neodigital is back with a brand new compilation series called Eurofunk and with our ears still buzzing from the first installment volume 2 is upon us!

From Eurofunk Volume 2 we've got the premiere of Lockjaw & Current Value's insanely good track 'Countdown'. In Lockjaw's own words

"Countdown is track with a lot of attitude with the intention of creating a groove from very little and a simple framework. The collab process was a simple back and forth; I think both Tim and I's style comes thought clear in this one and I'm super happy with how the track fused both our sounds together."

PREMIERE: Lockjaw & Current Value - Countdown (Neodigital)

You are your dreamscape, you are the rain that falls on the dry earth.  You are the mushrooms that grow amongst the leaves, and the deer that forage through these wood.  Where will your feet take you?  somewhere far and beyond here, I hope.  Somewhere, where you can dig your fingers deep into the earth, and where the smell of the soil will nourish your tender heart.  You are your dreamscape, do not escape the world from which you take inspiration from.  Be in its place totally, with roots deeply settled, leaves mightily reaching the heavens.  Watch those stars rise and pass through the sky at night, watch them fly like birds across the night curtain of darkness.  Go south, seek the passion and the warmth that will guide your body to the land inside your heart

Contemplating the Cosmos, Watching Birds Fly

A song about breathing...

Here are the lyrics:

As the sun is diving
into the sea
i remember how we 
used to be
i didn't care for you
you didn't care about me
took us a little time 
the truth to see 

As the wind that blew 
is calming down
trying to pick my heart up
from the ground
it really makes no difference
you 're not around
i can feel lonely by myself
you don't have to help me out

I have ripped you off my life
there is nothing i can keep
i'm so tired of wondering why, now 
all i have to do is breathe

As the leaves are falling 
from the tree
i can see depression 
falling down on me
Sometimes you can't split 
happiness in three
It's not a state i'd 
really love to be in

As the moon is rising
in the sky
I'm not really happy
but at least i try 
like the birds i wish that
i could fly
if i had the wings i'd
fly so high

I have ripped you off my life
there is nothing i will keep
i'm so tired of wondering why, now 
all i have to do is breathe

Down

Breathe

When I recorded the track Man on a Grill it started out like this. So any similarities with that track -especially the drums- aren't coincidental. To make it even more confusing, It bears the same title as one of my other tracks :-)

A song about doing the right thing...

Here are the lyrics:

It's always hard enough 
to do the thinking,
you got to use your brain 
just for a while

You're going up and down
seems like you're sinking
but man it feels so great 
when you arrive

Sometimes it's painful trying
to be a good boy,
you may have to forget
about yourself 

You often have to 
give away your best toy
and maybe you 'll be found
hanging on a shelf

But baby, please don't you
hear a word i say
i'm just so alone that 
i could die

Lately, i saw my hair are
turning to grey
Well, i used to think i'm young enough
but now i know i'm playing the second half 

Most of the times it's tough
to do the right thing,
your heart will disagree
with your own mind

Countless days you 'll wait
to hear your phone ring,
at least you 'll have the space
true love to find

The Right Thing

Hypnosis

I did an adaptation of this Christmas classic last year for mass (where it was actually performed to my delight) but never recorded it. This year though I didn't want to let those neat ukulele chords slip into oblivion, so recording it I did, and also added some strings, bells, guitars, choir and organ at my random disposal.
Can we get any more christmass-y than this?
I don't hope so...

Downloads are enabled on this one so feel free to put it on any of your random Christmas music / happy vibes / 40ies trash samplers, and share the heaven out of it!
