You are Young now, man👍👍👍👍 And very good, too

Great prog rock, and wise and warm guidance in the lyrics.

You're always as young as you feel. At 6:00 a.m. I feel like I'm 80, after my first coffee I feel more like I'm in my mid-50s, and at night I don't want to go to bed, as if I were 12. :-)

Love this in the very first second LOL.  So cool!!!

Beautifully done. Strong song, and performance.

AL PREGUNTAR POR MI MAMÁ

Acostado en su cama
no aparta la mirada
del “señor” que está en la cruz
¿quién es él? Solo sabe
que se llevó a su madre
y que se llama Jesús.

Su expresión, que es muy dura,
le roba la dulzura
a su carita infantil
que, a pesar de sus años,
el odio ha dibujado
con un semblante muy hostil.

Señor, al preguntar por mi mamá,
me han dicho que usted se la ha llevado:
que ahora estará en el cielo a su lado
pero que nunca a casa volverá.

Mi mamá era su amiga
pues siempre me decía
que tenía que rezar
y antes de acostarme
y también al levantarme
le tenía que besar.

Pero si ahora no vuelve
yo no sé cómo quiere
que yo le vuelva a rezar
pues no sé cómo hacerlo
¿no ve que soy muy pequeño
y me tienen que ayudar?

Señor, yo creo que puede aceptar
el trato formal que ahora le propongo:
deje volver a mamá, que estoy solo,
y yo le quito los clavos y se va.

Esperó una respuesta
que nunca le fue hecha
y rendido se  durmió
después que unas lágrimas
regaran sus mejillas 
por la enorme decepción.

WHEN ASKING FOR MY MOTHER

Lying in his bed,
he can't take his gaze
off the "Lord" on the cross.
Who is he? He only knows
that he took his mother
and that his name is Jesus.

His expression, which is very hard,
robs the sweetness
from his childlike face,
which, despite his years,
hate has shaped
with a very hostile countenance.

Sir, when I asked for my mother,
they told me that you have taken her:
that she will now be in heaven by your side
but that she will never return home.

My mother was your friend
because she always told me
that I had to pray
and before going to bed
and also when I got up
I had to kiss you.

But if you don't come back now,
I don't know how you expect
me to pray to you again,
because I don't know how to do it.
Don't you see that I am very small
and you have to help me?

Sir, I think you can accept
the formal deal I'm now proposing:
Let Mom come back, I'm alone,
and I'll take out the nails and you can leave.

He waited for an answer
that was never given
and, exhausted, he fell asleep
after a few tears
flowed down his cheeks
out of sheer disappointment.

When I Fall

Bass - Sickly Just

I think Andreas has done an extraordinary arrangement with this one. It was the perfect choice, using an extract of Saturn from Holst's Planet Suite.

16. The Tower

“Dead Inside / Fell Again”

A two-part sonic journey that drifts from numb isolation into stylish melancholy, “Dead Inside / Fell Again” blends airy ambient synths with hard-hitting 808s in a seamless emotional shift.

Part I – “Dead Inside” floats in slow, spacious production, with auto-tuned, slurred vocals painting a portrait of spiritual exhaustion and emotional detachment. The narrator is adrift in silence, haunted by past sins, refusing to open messages that don’t bring peace, and watching time slip away without feeling love.

Part II – “Fell Again” hits with a beat switch — heavier bass, tighter bounce, and a moody confidence. The delivery turns more melodic-rap, lacing designer flexes and anime nods over pain-drenched imagery. Ghosted calls, fake love, and rearview memories blur into a stylish but lonely ride, where even in loss, the glow remains.

The track balances vulnerability with swagger, evoking late-night drives, city lights in the rain, and the quiet resilience of surviving heartbreak while keeping your drip immaculate.

DEAD INSIDE / FELL AGAIN

Why not going a bit more progressive? Progressive Rock that is ... more the modern variation than classic 1970s style. Maybe NeoProg ... 

when i was young

The session for "When I was young" (https://soundcloud.com/api_zz/when-i-was-young) yielded a second nice prog rock track. Here it is.

Stand with Ukraine

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 ...
