WOW This sounds like a completely different song now. Nice work Andreas. Thanks again. 🫶😘🙏🎼🎵🎶

After the existential crisis of The Judgement, I wanted something soothing and comforting to round things off, and I could think of no better for that than Americana roots rock. The words are a mash-up from Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.

André Gide disait "Que l'importance soit dans ton regard, non dans la chose regardée." Cette chanson en est une illustration à travers la pluie qu'on peut voir comme triste. À moins qu'on sache voir entre les gouttes...

				       À Leny

Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes ?

Y a ceux qui voient toujours le verre
À moitié vide
À moitié plein
Y a ceux qui voient toujours l’hiver
Saison frigide
Saison de rien

Refrain :
Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes,
Là où le ciel ne pleure pas ?
Moi, je me dis sans doute, sans doute,
Que la réponse dépend de toi…
Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes,
Là où le ciel ne pleure pas ?
Moi, je me dis sans doute, sans doute,
Qu’un p’tit bonheur sa cache là.

Y a ceux qui voient toujours la Terre
Soit tout en blanc,
Soit tout en noir.
Y a ceux qui voient ceux qui espèrent
Vendeurs de vent,
Vendeurs d’espoirs.
(refrain)

Y a ceux qui croient que la misère
Se compte en banque,
Se compte en rien.
Y a ceux qui voient tout en colère
Cœur à la manque
Cœur tout éteint

André Gide said, “Let the importance be in your gaze, not in the thing you gaze upon.” This song illustrates this through the rain, which can be seen as sad. Unless you know how to see between the raindrops...
	                                To Leny

What's the weather like between the raindrops?

There are those who always see the glass
Half empty
Half full
There are those who always see winter
A frigid season
A season of nothing

Chorus :
What's the weather like between the raindrops,
Where the sky doesn't cry?
I tell myself, no doubt, no doubt,
That the answer depends on you...
What's the weather like between the raindrops,
Where the sky doesn't cry?
I tell myself, no doubt, no doubt,
That a little happiness is hiding there.

There are those who always see the Earth
Either all white,
Or all black.
There are those who see those who hope
Sellers of wind,
Sellers of hope.
(chorus)

There are those who believe that misery
Is counted in the bank,
Is counted as nothing.
There are those who see everything with anger,
Heart missing,
Heart completely extinguished.

PRIMEROS PASOS

Un tambaleo y tus ojitos son
unos luceros buscando protección
y también un mundo bajo tus pies.

Manitas altas y un nuevo tropezón
en una danza sin red y sin guión
que te da suelo y cielo a la vez.

Estribillo

Primeros pasos para mi sol
tu primavera, tu despertar
allí estaré si quiero verte brillar.

Primeros pasos ¡qué ilusión!
si tienes dudas vigilaré
me ocuparé de mantenerte en pie.

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

Te caes, ríes y vuelves a empezar
en cada paso se ve la decisión
de seguir con valor y tesón.

Estribillo

Primeros pasos, pura ternura,
así comienza la gran aventura…

FIRST STEPS

A wobble and your little eyes are
stars seeking protection
and also a world beneath your feet.

High hands and a new stumble
in a dance without a net and without a script
that gives you ground and sky at the same time.

Chorus

First steps for my sun
your spring, your awakening
I'll be there if I want to see you shine.

First steps, what an illusion!
if you have doubts, I'll watch
and I'll make sure you stay on your feet.

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

You fall, laugh, and start again
in every step you see the decision
to continue with courage and determination.

Chorus

First steps, pure tenderness,
thus begins the great adventure...

Primeros pasos

YESTERDAY, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MONDAY

Sometimes life really feels like a sitcom on wheels 🚗💥.
“Just Another Day” is born from a couple of small real accidents that happened to two of us (don’t ask who 😅). Between alarms, burnt breakfasts, empty gas tanks, exploding tires and near-superhero sprints, we tried to turn the chaos into a darkly playful pop rock anthem. Because at the end of the day… it’s just another day!🤪

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on September 5, 2025.

Lyrics:

It is Sunday morning
the alarm is ringing
I don’t want to wake up
I just need more sleeping

It’s already 9 o’clock
I can’t wait to see you
I get up and grab some bread
it almost makes me dead

But I’ve no time
I take my car
driving straight to you
now something’s wrong
I need to stop
I’m out of fuel

Dozens of cars ahead
under this burning sun
it’s just another day
a day of madness, craziness
but nothing in this world
will stop me going on
I’m back into the traffic
feeling lost, confused and stuck
I’m going slightly crazy
I just need a mental pit stop

Now I’m driving faster
I’ve almost reached you
there are only 9 more blocks
keeping me away from you
When the blocks are only 4
suddenly a tire blows
and I crash into the wall
I’m OK but the car is not

I need to run
it’s getting late
and no, I can’t wait
to hug you once again
I want to hold
you in my arms
and kiss you once again
after all
it’s just another day

I feel like the Flash
my shoes are burning
I’m sweating like a runner
I just need some resting
But now I’m almost there
breathless and almost dead
when someone makes me stumble
this is just another day

Dozens of cars ahead
under this burning sun
it’s just another day
a day of madness, craziness
but nothing in this world
will stop me going on
I’m back into the traffic
feeling lost, confused and stuck
I’m going slightly crazy
I just need a mental pit stop

This is just another day
yeah, just another day

Just Another Day

Chasing Stars

My third installment of a remix of a VickStiX track (https://soundcloud.com/vicky-adair/behind-closed-eyes) -- this time slightly enhancing the 3/4 beat character of the tune.

Behind Closed Eyes (remix)

https://soundcloud.com/vicky-adair does three tracks around the theme of Columbus Day, clearly and openly differenciating who's involved with what outcome. The track https://soundcloud.com/vicky-adair/indigenous-peoples-day touches me most and inspired an extended remix with some organic sound additions like more drumming and a flute.

Indigenous (remix)

A track missing my mother in law, really, track of ALL of the family still missing her.  When she left us it left a hole, a wound on the heart, which has never really healed.  I try hard to enjoy life and spend time with those I love as life has an ending - make every second count.  Oh and, the Rainforest Cowboy suggests you go hug your mother right now.

Ina, Miss Kita Nang Sobra – Mother I Miss You So Much

You bloom in shadows like a flower made of night  
Fragrance drifting softly through the fading light  
Your voice a fragile echo wrapped in quiet might  
Your eyes the storm before it bites  

I follow footsteps painted silver on the ground  
Each one humming with a distant sound  
A melody lost — but now it’s found  
In the place your heart is crowned  

You pull me deeper than the grave  
Into the dark I try to brave  
But in your hands I’m not a slave  
Just someone wishing you’d stay and save  

Shadow bloom, you whisper slow  
Secrets only spirits know  
In your moonlit, haunted glow  
I'm falling fast — too fast to go  

Hold me where the night is warm  
Where broken things can take new form  
Where darkness isn’t seen as harm  
But just another kind of calm  


SHADOW BLOOM

My good friend has created “Nashville City Limits” as a songwriter’s reckoning — a soulful, storyteller-driven album about chasing music, chasing truth, and learning where your own limits really are.
These songs blend acoustic warmth, country-folk heart, and Nashville-flavored lyric honesty, each track unfolding like a page from a road-worn journal.
It’s part love letter, part warning flare, part confession from a woman who’s learned the price of dreams and the cost of settling.
If you’ve ever stood on the edge of something big — wondering if it’ll break your heart or set you free — this record will feel like home.

Open Mic Fright

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
