Final Outbreak (2024 Master)

Final Outbreak

Every time I look in the mirror
I see less and less of me
There was a time when I believed
I could be anything I dreamed

I'm - not really sure anymore
I'm - not really sure anymore

I gotta get
Back to the treehouse
Back to the ball field
Back to the bicycle jump we made
When we were young and stupid
But we could fly

Summertime blankets
Covered with sand
An afternoon empire
From our lemonaide stand
We were young and stupid
But we could fly

Every now and then I remember
The spark I used to see
A world of limitless horizons
No boxes around me

I'm - not really sure anymore
I'm - not really sure anymore

I gotta get
Back to the treehouse
Back to the ball field
Back to the bicycle jump we made
When we were young and stupid
But we could fly

That summertime blanket
Fashioned into a cape
We'd soar from the roof
Despite the bruises and scrapes
We were young and stupid
But we could fly

Young & Stupid

Skio's Zimmer90 remix: I dared to resequence the track, left some elements, added drums, percs and moog bass, FXed some stuff as well. I love 'em vocals! 

This extended mix adds some bars here and there to produce a kinda flowing EDM track. Or so.

What Love Is (extended Mix)

Be quiet boy
you’re ok

Sometimes I wake up at night
Covered in sweat 
Like I’ve been in a fight 
And I reach for you
Some unattainable you
That unattainable you 
that is me

Sometimes I reach at night
What feels like an unattainable fight
I climb Jacob’s ladder
I find it, I flatter
I wrestle myself into the deep

I’m quiet as a moose
And I sweat up the house
And I smell like something…
Like it shouldn’t
And I know you know 
And I know I know
But what else
Is incomplete 

And I bid you adieu
And I wish I could play this tune
much Better than it’s coming out 
But I’ll frown and I’ll sigh
And I’ll cry and I’ll die
And I’ll realize I was alright 

So don’t be a fool
Just play by the rules
Just listen to whatever they tell you 
But a radical is a radical
And a battle is a battle
So you better put up your saddle 

I swear 
I don’t wanna fight no more
I got nothing left for you
To even the score
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care for you

For you for you
Just go away
Just come again
Another never day
And find your own life
Find your own wife
Find your own you
I don’t mean to be rude

But I can’t help my tongue
It’s  what I was born with
It’s what I came to this earth with
And what I’ll do when I quit
I’ll shut the chuck up
And I’ll write another song
And I’ll write to see the world doesn’t revolve

Doesn’t revolve around me
The world doesn’t revolve around me
The world doesn’t revolve
Around me
And that’s all I plead
That’s all I plea to know
That’s all I plea to know
Why don’t you let me know

You won’t let me go
Cause I can’t go home
Until you feel that I’ve atoned
For every crime
That crossed my mind
The human kind
Can we dine!

I’ll set the table for 2 or 3 or 4
I don’t care
I don’t care anymore
I’ll lose my mind
I’ll fight the sign
But I’ll be gone

Ballad of a Kvetch

I stripped the track off (most) fancy-but-not-needed musical extras, concentrating on the basics and the all-important vocals. All drums were replaced by new ones. Speed is slightly increased to 160 bpm.

My remix of the Skytech & Dannic track "Hurt Me Now" (presented at SKIO).

Hurt Me Now

SKIO Music runs a remix contest in Oct 2024 for the track "Ticking Time Bomb". I merely took the provided vocal stems and redesigned everything else: drums, piano, bass, bells and choir. The tempo got reduced to 142 bpm.

Ticking Time Bomb (remix)

His beard has much to say.
It reminds me old days.
When he was tall. Not grey.
Oh my! If I may.

His thoughts were mine those days.
I liked when we used to play.
We were fishing in may.
When he was tall. Not grey.

I'll love him forever.
I'm sure he made me stronger.
Though sometimes, I felt anger, 
He helped me being better.
We used to laugh after 
I had made errors.
He comforted whenever 
I had silly terrors.

His eyes have much to say.
They’re full of love today.
It reminds me old days.
When he was tall. Not grey.

I'll love him forever.
I'm sure he made me stronger.
Though sometimes, I felt anger, 
He helped me being better.
We used to laugh after 
I had made errors.
He comforted whenever 
I had silly terrors.

Peaceful World is a heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary lives of Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and countless others who devoted themselves to fostering peace and unity.
Their compassion and unwavering commitment remind us of the profound impact that love and understanding can have in creating a more harmonious world

2.Nelson Mandela

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 ...
