Originally recorded by Florent in 1984 using two cassette decks — three layers of synth, bass, and guitar looping against time.
Barbonus remastered and expanded the fragment into a full instrumental piece, keeping its analog pulse alive.

A high-energy, C minor instrumental with a driving rhythm section and bright synth leads — the energy behind BC25’s origins.
This is where the noise began to sing.

Part of the Eternity sessions — fragments from an unfinished conversation between time and sound.

Little shine

Welcome aboard the "Still in the Air (Cruise Mix)."

This isn't just a remix; it's a full re-imagining of the original's patient, restless energy, rebuilt with my signature electric yacht club sound.

I wanted to take that feeling of anticipation—the "slow burn" and "patient riot" from the lyrics—and set it adrift on the open water. This track blends smooth, coastal-inspired synths and a relaxed, steady groove, creating a vibe that's perfect for a sunset cruise just as the lights on the shore are beginning to appear.

It's the soundtrack for that moment of transformation, right before you finally arrive.

Hope you enjoy the journey.

Still in the Air (Cruise Mix)

This track is a self love empowerment song. Break up's are hard and this song helped me come back from the pain.

I'm Not Broken

Bad habit 

[Verse 1]
You said forever, but you lied so sweet,
Left your echo where my heart should beat.
Now I’m chasing ghosts in my bed,
Every touch just messes with my head.
You made love feel like a promise owed,
Then left me standing in the cold.
Your shadow’s the only thing that stays,
Guess I’m addicted to the ache.
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to wash you out my skin,
But the scent of you keeps sinking in.
It’s like you branded me inside —
I keep coming back, though I’ve tried.
[Chorus]
You’re my bad habit,
The poison I taste when I can’t stand it.
You broke me down, but I still crave,
That love I can’t seem to save.
I should let go, but it’s too late,
Guess I’m just used to the pain.
[Verse 2]
You know the weakness that you made,
The way you love, then pull away.
I keep replaying what we were,
Like I could heal if I remembered.
Your lies got rhythm, they sound true,
Every line just pulls me through.
I hate the way I love the sting,
But I can’t stop remembering.
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to wash you out my skin,
But the scent of you keeps sinking in.
It’s like you branded me inside —
I keep coming back, though I’ve tried.
[Chorus]
You’re my bad habit,
The poison I taste when I can’t stand it.
You broke me down, but I still crave,
That love I can’t seem to save.
I should let go, but it’s too late,
Guess I’m just used to the pain.
[Bridge]
No more tears, I’m running dry,
Still I call your name at night.
Every scar you left remains,
But maybe I like the way it burns my veins.
[Final Chorus]
You’re my bad habit,
The poison I taste when I can’t stand it.
You broke me down, but I still crave,
That love I can’t seem to save.
I should let go, but it’s too late,
Guess I’m just used to the pain.
[Outro]
Yeah… used to the pain.
It’s the only thing that feels the same.

Bad habit

Pull me close 

[Verse 1]
Late at night, I hear your name
Whispers in the dark, and I’m not the same
I know the fire burns between us still
Every touch, every word, fuck, it kills
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself, “Don’t let it go too far”
But every time you’re near, I lose who we are
It’s dangerous, but I can’t fight it
Your lips on mine, yeah, I’ll let you try it
[Chorus]
Pull me close, don’t let me go
Fuck the pain, just show me what I know
We crash and burn, then we ignite
Kiss me like it’s wrong, make it right tonight
Pull me close, yeah, I can’t stay away
Even when love hurts, I’ll still crave your flame
[Verse 2]
Fingers trace the scars we hide
Promises broken, but we still collide
I hate the way I need your touch
But baby, this fucking addiction’s too much
[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I’ll leave, but I never do
The heat between us pulls me back to you
It’s reckless, it’s wild, it’s our confession
Every fight ends in our obsession
[Chorus]
Pull me close, don’t let me go
Fuck the pain, just show me what I know
We crash and burn, then we ignite
Kiss me like it’s wrong, make it right tonight
Pull me close, yeah, I can’t stay away
Even when love hurts, I’ll still crave your flame
[Bridge]
Every lie, every tear, every sleepless night
We find a way back in, losing our minds
I know it’s broken, but it feels so real
One touch from you, I can’t conceal
[Chorus / Outro]
Pull me close, don’t let me go
Fuck the pain, just show me what I know
We crash and burn, then we ignite
Kiss me like it’s wrong, make it right tonight
Pull me close, yeah, I can’t stay away
Even when love hurts, I’ll still crave your flame.

Pull me close

A song about losing a friend in December.

SNOW IN HEAVEN

[Verse 1]
I practiced what I’d say in the mirror
Made it sharp, made it clear, made it cruel
But when I saw your face get quieter
Every word just felt like it broke the rule
I thought hate would feel like power
Something strong I could lean into
But it fades after a few hours
And leaves more mess than you ever do

[Pre-Chorus]
I stacked every reason in my head
Tried to make you easier to forget
But every memory fights back
And rewrites every fact

[Chorus]
I hate you, I think
But that word feels heavier every time
’Cause if I really did
You wouldn’t still live in my mind
I hate you, I swear
But hate don’t feel like this
It feels cleaner than regret
And you still feel like a mess I can’t fix

[Verse 2]
Your name still comes up in my notifications
Like you’re checking in through the noise
I delete it, I mute it, I hesitate
Like I don’t trust my own voice
I replay things I should’ve said louder
And things I should’ve never let slide
Funny how being “over someone”
Just means you stopped showing the side

[Pre-Chorus]
I built a story where I survived
Where you’re just a villain in my mind
But you were more than just the fight
That’s what makes letting go hard tonight

[Chorus]
I hate you, I think
But that word feels heavier every time
’Cause if I really did
You wouldn’t still cross my mind
I hate you, it’s true
At least some days I pretend
But hate is such a final word
For something I couldn’t even end

[Verse 3]
You walked away like nothing cracked
Like I wasn’t the one holding it up
You called it “growth” and turned your back
While I swallowed what you fucked up

You love pretending it was mutual
Like you didn’t leave me there
Don’t rewrite it to feel neutral
You made the mess, then disappeared

[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t hate you
Maybe I just hate the way I stayed
Maybe I don’t miss you
I just miss who I became

Funny how the same two people
Can mean something so different now
Like strangers with old passwords
Typing memories out loud

[Final Chorus]
I hate you, I think
But it sounds weak when I say it slow
’Cause if I really did
I’d have let you go
I hate you, maybe
Or maybe I just hate the lie
That I’d be fine without your name
Still echoing in my mind

I Hate You... I Think

American Soul is a journey through the heart of a modern cowboy—raw, reflective, and built on lived experience. Across nine tracks, the album blends gritty realism with emotional storytelling, capturing the quiet moments, heartbreaks, and hard-won strength that shape a man’s character.

It opens with “Cold Coffee Mornings,” a slow-burning reflection on routine and regret, before expanding into the dreamlike hope of “The Breath Between Stars.” Songs like “River Takes the Weight” and “Backroads Built My Heart” explore loss, memory, and the places that raised us, while “Porchlight Glow” brings warmth back into the darkness.

The middle of the record hits harder—“Dirt Road Revival” and “Iron In My Chest” pulse with grit, resilience, and the heavy bass of a life lived close to the edge. “Almost Had You” dives into heartbreak deep enough to leave a scar, while the finale, “Soul Fire Rising,” lifts the listener out of the ashes with a cinematic, powerful sense of rebirth.

From stripped-down acoustic moments to full-bodied, cinematic country crescendos, American Soul captures the dust, the quiet, the storms, and the resilience of a man carving meaning from a wild world—one song at a time.

The Breath Between Stars

Barbonus is a German lyricist who treats songwriting as a form of literature. His tracks begin with words – fragments of prose, quiet observations, poetic disruptions – and build outward into minimalist soundscapes.

Instead of writing hits, Barbonus writes moments. His lyrics don’t chase hooks; they linger, reveal, suggest. Framed by gentle synths and indie-flavored textures, his work explores memory, digital disconnection, and the beauty of unfinished thoughts.

Beyond his solo work, Barbonus moves between several constellations:
• with Vela Sorell he forms the duo BC25, exploring fragile songs of memory and breath.
• with Klarstein.rocks he releases playful Country-inspired tracks and writes German lyrics in the ironic spirit of the NDW.
• in his archive work, he reconstructs cassette recordings from the 1990s, recovering fragments from a rehearsal basement.

With growing attention from international blogs describing his sound as “electronica with heart” and “a softer, more introspective space,” Barbonus positions himself less as a performer and more as a narrator. A voice at the edge of the frame, crafting scenes in words before sound enters the room.

For him, music is not the message – it’s the carrier wave.
