Thank you for providing the perfect magical soundtrack to my journey, Andreas.

With his eyes on fire and his heart ablaze, 
He goes looking for the flavor of his younger days.
Locked in a battle with the demon, time
He's an unfinished poem searching for a rhyme.
 As his life starts to unfold he questions why. 
“Am I doomed to just grow old and die?”

So he arms himself with an M.B.A.
BMW and PTA.
Over barbecue grills he poetically waxes
How he avoided paying income taxes.
His  ambitions starts a’gnawing his insides.
He’s so busy he can’t hear the voices cry.

You gotta live, you gotta try. You gotta soar, you gotta fly.
You gotta hope, you gotta pray. 
You gotta lend a helping hand to your brother every day. You gotta live.
 
 She’s climbing fast on the corporate ladder,
 If someone’s hurt, what does it matter?
And the motto she holds oh, so dear.
“Feel no mercy, show no fear.”
There’s no question that she’s gonna reach the  top,
But the question is, does   she know when to stop?

You gotta live, you gotta try. You gotta soar, you gotta fly.
You gotta hope, you gotta pray. 
You gotta lend a helping hand to your brother every day. You gotta live.
You gotta win, you gotta lose.  
You gotta make a lotta choices, and knowing when you choose,
You gotta smile through it all, ‘cause your
Family, they all need you, need you standing straight and tall. You gotta live.

You Gotta Live

En la otra orilla

En la orilla del dolor
sólo tienen frustración
y el anhelo de un mundo mejor.

En la orilla del placer
todo es poco hasta ser
el más fuerte y el que tenga el poder.

Estribillo

Desde la orilla se ve el fulgor
de la riqueza aupada en neón
que nutre la fe y la ilusión.
Todos se echan a la mar
porque piensan que tendrán
por fin un lugar para soñar.

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

No se entiende que huir
del infierno es seguir
el instinto de sobrevivir.

Estribillo

Y se tienen que aguantar
si los quieren explotar
los mismos que los quieren echar.

On the other shore

On the shore of pain
they only have frustration
and the longing for a better world.

On the shore of pleasure
everything is too little until you are
the strongest and the one who has the power.

Chorus

From the shore you can see the glow
of wealth boosted in neon
that nourishes faith and illusion.
Everyone sets out to sea
because they think they will
finally have a place to dream.

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

It is not understood that fleeing
from hell is following
the instinct to survive.

Chorus

And they have to put up with
if they want to exploit them
the same people who want to throw them out.

En la otra orilla (Feat. Hugo Iglesias Olmos)

[Intro]  

I put my heart into these chords, these lines, these melodies,  
Upload my soul into the void, just hoping someone sees.  
But every time I check my feed, a message waits for me—  
A promise wrapped in sugar, but it’s never what it seems.  

[Verse 1]  

"Hey, I love your music, bro! It’s fire, it’s insane!"  

Then three replies later, it’s "Invest in your name!"  
Sony wants to sign me? Oh, sure, that sounds legit…  
But why’s your profile say you’re based in Bangladesh?  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t need a fake deal,  
I don’t need your promo,  
I just want a real ear  
To hear what I wrote, so…  

[Chorus]  
 
Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Verse 2]  

Atlantic’s in my inbox now, but spelled without a "C."  
And Capitol’s got zero posts? Yeah, sounds legit to me…  
"Let’s get you on a playlist, bro—50 dollars a song!"  
If I had a dime for every scam, I’d own the whole damn blog.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t need a fake deal,  
I don’t need your promo,  
I just want a real ear  
To hear what I wrote, so…  

[Chorus]  
Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Bridge]  

From India to Singapore, LA to UK,  
They’re all reading from the same damn play…  
"Your music’s got potential, we love your sound!"  
Then it’s "Pay me first, I’ll get you found."  

[Final Chorus]  

Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Outro]  

Just listen… just listen…  
Not for money… just for meaning…  
Just listen… 


Just Listen

She was a killer!

Niebla y neón: distopía

Hoy la niebla no permite ver
el paseo por el cielo azul
que dará el sol y nos roba ese placer.
Sin embargo nos regalará
una estampa de secreta luz
singular en la inmensidad.

Estribillo

No existe la verdad ni la seguridad
la certeza ya no está y todo es dudar.
En esa desazón hay una excepción
que nos guiará en la inquietud: las luces de neón.
---------------
El sol se ve en la prisión
y sin cumplir con su misión
sigue con fe peleando
pero no está alumbrando.

Pues la noche pronto va a caer
y la bruma todo cubrirá
hasta que por fin surja un nuevo amanecer.
Mientras tanto hay que descubrir
lo que el ciclo nos deparará
y lo que nos va a permitir.

Estribillo

Fog and Neon: Dystopia

Today, the fog prevents us from seeing
the sun's journey through the blue sky
and robs us of that pleasure.
However, it will give us
a glimpse of secret light
unique in the immensity.

Chorus

There is no truth or security.
Certainty is no longer there, and everything is doubt.
In this unease, there is one exception
that will guide us through our anxiety: the neon lights.
---------------
The sun sees itself in prison
and, without fulfilling its mission,
it continues to fight with faith
but it is not shining.

For night will soon fall
and the fog will cover everything
until a new dawn finally emerges.
In the meantime, we must discover
what the cycle will bring us
and what it will allow us.

Chorus

Niebla y neón: distopía

A Better Man Of Me

Annie (https://soundcloud.com/annie-dieu-le-veut) has a fantastic story of this happening to her, just around the corner from where she lives ... that story now lives within a lovingly supporting musical environment. 
Words, narration and cover by Annie, music and titling by me.

ive got faith in my soul, and i dont need no arrow
ive got love in my home, i dont care if you follow

i was a little kid, and now im grown
its been a while ive been on my own
i tought i knew a lot of things about life
but nothing close to what we call right
the more you learn the more you know you dont know
humble yourself, prepare for tomorrow
help one another, remember each other
we re all ending up facing the mightyy father

ive got faith in my soul, say i and i need no throne
ive got love in my home, im not alone im not alone im not alone

people use to tell me if you want to be free
you have to work a lot and look up for money
the time you have in life is worth than gold
you ve gotta think twice before you get bold
dont you be afraid in the valley of shadow 
you can brake that stone with just one blow
they will call you maybe
they will call you crazy but

ive got faith in my soul, and i dont need no arrow
ive got love in my home, i dont care if you follow

Yes I

Im not alone

Im Not Alone

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 ...
