Lyrics: 
We‘re The Solution

We‘ve got to hurry
cause time is flying.
We‘ve got to worry
cause the planet is dying.

You may think 
you can leave us crying,
but we‘re trying
to change things up.

Be the solution
to all the pollution you see. 
Unfortunately, we‘re the problem too.
Both me and you.
So sad but true.

No plant B,
Lakes are drying out,
Millions of seabirds are dying out.
It makes me
wanna cry out loud,
We‘re going down!

It‘s up to us to rearrange.
All of Europe needs to mak a change.
Planet earth‘s no longer the same.
We‘re going down, down, down.

Be the solution
to all the pollution you see. 
Unfortunately, we‘re the problem too.
Both me and you.
So sad but true.

We‘re the solution!

We’re the solution
to all the pollution, but we,
unfortunately, we‘re the problem too.
Both me and you.
So sad but true.

We’re The Solution

So many seemingly mindless faces staring into mobile phones at a train station, each individual with a story of their own and a destination to reach. Some escaping, some heading down the track to no good.
Thanks to the following contributors: Kevin Cook (bass), Aron Templeton (harmonica) and  Jody  Templeton (backing vocal) for being part of the creative fun. Thanks also to Steve Quirk for the cover artwork.

This is a song about the senseless loss of life and landscape in Ukraine. Peace and Love! Lyrics:

1955 

As beauty fades,
as the ground begins to shake,
golden fields turn into
desolate moonscapes.

On both sides: eye for an eye.
The most important question
to be asked is: why?

Men who decide, but
never fight in a war,
command others to die 
while they remain secure.

(You asked) where 
have all the flowers gone?
This was in 1955!
You got no answer.
And quiet flows the Don
It carries on…

As language fails,
as human decency goes off the rails,
our attempts to help were sadly to no avail.

On both sides: eye for an eye.
The loss of life and landscape is unjustified.

Mighty men make decisions,
but never fight in a war. They
command others to give their lives
while they remain secure.

Oh, where have
all the flowers gone?
This was in 1955!
Still no answers.
And quiet flows the Don
It carries on…

How can it be
that in 2023
there are 22 wars
and so little peace?

Oh, where have
all the flowers gone?
This was in 1955!
Still no answers.
And quiet flows the Don
It carries on…

Anyone who has seen The Chosen might like this song. It is about Maria of Magdala and her first encounter with Jesus. Thanks so much, Paola & Ben!

I had this 8-track demo of a sad lovesong. Richard liked it and asked me to send over the stems in order to "try something". What he sent back hit me like a hammer. Damn, that was beautiful! He' d turned my sad indie ballad into a sweet french pop song with the amazing Delphine Portier on b-vocs. Merci beaucoup, chers ami!

Dedicated to Sara. Thanks for the attention!

Ein Gute-Laune-Song über schwesterliche Liebe. Hier der Text:

Beschde (Lilli A. & Anna-Elea)

Na, nana, na, na.

Ich steh‘ an Deiner Seite,
kein Weg ist mir zu weit.
Für jede Form von Unfug
bin ich jederzeit bereit.

Herz gebrochen. Du hilfst mir auf,
wenn ich am Boden liege. 
So viele Menschen,
viel zu wenig Liebe!

Du bist die Beschde
an jedem Tag,
weißt wie‘s mir geht, selbst
wenn ich gar nix sag.

Na, nana, na, na.

Mancher Glücksmoment mag
vielleicht einmal vergehen.
Doch in unserer Erinnerung
bleibt er ewig bestehen.

Schwesternzweisamkeit
wir kichern asynchron.
Es ist uns ganz egal.
Die Leute gucken schon.

Du bist die Beschde
an jedem Tag.
Hab ich Dir heut schon gesagt,
dass ich Dich mag?

Du bist die Beschde,
hast mein Humor.
Jeder Moment mit Dir
ist besser als davor.

Na, nana, na, na.

Das Leben ist zu kurz für irgendwann.
Dann lass uns leben im Hier und Jetzt.
Es muss nicht perfekt sein,
sondern nur echt.

Du bist die Beschde
an jedem Tag.
Hab ich Dir heut schon gesagt,
dass ich Dich mag?

Du bist die Beschde,
soll ich’s buchstabier´n?
damit die Norddeutschen
es auch kapier’n.

Na, nana, na, na.

Beschde

As the title says these are thoughts for a summer day:  
Take a break from technology here and there;
Have some hope in humanity;
do what you can to make it a better world; 
Try hard to find people who you vibe with and enjoy their company.

THOUGHTS FOR A SUMMER SUNDAY
(c) JunkHeap Mar 01 2024

Looking at the sunrise, 
flowing through the dusty blinds,
bleary-eyed, not really wanting to wake.  
Taking a deep breath and stretching away the sleep. 
I know it's gonna be a good day.
I Hope!  it's gonna to be a good day.

Skip the 'get ready' lyrics, hit the street, 
knowing it's for sure cold out there.

I hear the sounds, and the smells of my main street,
climate change giving a bit of repreive, 
from the usual deep freeze.
I know I shouldn't say it, but I like the warmth.

The familiar people I see in the hood, 
wishing the trees were green and the sun
bathing us with its warmth, 
as the winter concludes.
We're wishing for an end to the cold,
careful what you wish for!

Ch.
I think we've forgotten some of the simple,
need  to get back to what matters.
Leave the tech, 
not a substitute for human interaction.
There's nothing that we need to argue about.
There's nothing to go on about.
Just take that day off and relax...
on a Summer Sunday.

Ya... turn on the TV and it's the same-same.
Smartphone, computer... the same-same.
Everyone trying to yell louder than everyone else.

Hearing the bell on the steeple a block away,
being a non-church type, I say hey...
Hard to say anything without sounding like a preacher,
but sometimes we need a little faith, in hard times,
a little faith, in ourselves, a little faith, in hard times,
find the strength, in these hard times, 
we want the same.

Ch. 
I think we've forgotten some of the simple,
need  to get back to what matters.
Leave the tech, 
not a substitute for human interaction.
There's nothing that we need to argue about. 
There's nothing to go on about.
Just take that day off and relax...
on a Summer Sunday.

Guit solo.
