This song is dedicated to my wife Cheryl. 

She is a scientist at heart and especially loves ginkgo trees.

We'll be married 40 years in May.

I ask her to give a listen before I post my songs.  I fixed the ending of this song Ginkgo because of something she noticed. Ha ha and I thought it was finished!  We both know that some of my songs are not exactly her cup of tea. She seems to like this one pretty well.

She's a real nice girl and a great co-producer.

Listen to the Epic Version as well ☝🏻

Something is missing

Absently I look into my core
Yesterday seems so eternally far away
The achromatic colors are reflected in my heart
Even if I were able to walk
I would not want to move
The only light in life is the candle
At the edge of a wall that I
I'll never get over

And even if I stop bleeding
Scars will remain forever

I wish I had died
To have died much sooner
So that this hollow pain would end
But through the mirror I see you from behind
Wrapped in candles, how could it be otherwise?
Maybe you expect too much
Of the wounded
Of those who live on the ground

And even if I stop bleeding
Scars will remain forever

Even if I stop
I will remain forever

Irgendetwas fehlt

Abwesend blicke ich in meinen Kern
Gestern scheint so ewig weit entfernt
Die Unfarben spiegeln sich im Herzen
Auch wenn ich im Stande wäre zu gehen
Würde ich mich nicht bewegen wollen
Das einzige Licht im Leben gibt die Kerze
Am Rande einer Mauer, die ich
niemals überwinden werde

Und auch wenn ich aufhöre zu bluten
Narben werden doch für immer bleiben

Ich wünschte mir
Schon viel früher gestorben zu sein
Damit dieser hohle Schmerz endlich aufhört
Aber durch den Spiegel sehe ich dich von hinten
Umhüllt von Kerzen, wie könnte es anders sein
Vielleicht erwartest du auch nur zuviel
von den Verwundeten
Von denen, die am Boden leben

Und auch wenn ich aufhöre zu bluten
Narben werden doch für immer bleiben

Auch wenn ich aufhöre
Werde ich für immer bleiben

This song was born when I was relaxing on bed with toy poodle in the morning 😊🤗🍎🌻🐶💖☕🌈🌙🎵

#NewOriginalSong #Chilling #Morning #originalsong #vocaloid 

[Verse 1]
Here you come, on my bed in the morning
Next to me who is half asleep
Fluffy, fluffy, furry, furry
Both the comforter and you are soft
Don't get trampled under my back
I can't stop rolling over
Furry, furry

[Chorus]
Hairy toy poodle
Semi-double, but there's no safe to live
Even so if you don't mind
Come on, chilling in the morning
Fluffy, fluffy
Don't get mad just because I stopped my hand
More than that, watch out for my turning over
Kinda dangerous, chilling in the Morning
Oh my little lovely baby
Kinda dangerous, chilling in the Morning
Furry, furry

[Verse 2]
Even though there is a tray on the second floor
Always you go down the stairs
Fluffy, fluffy, furry, furry
‘Cause you are definitely smart, I know
I want you to master it by winter
We can have a much more pleasant morning
Furry, furry

[Chorus]
Hairy toy poodle
Semi-double, but there's no safe to live
Even so if you don't mind
Come on, chilling in the morning
Fluffy, fluffy
Don't get mad just because I stopped my hand
More than that, watch out for my turning over
Kinda dangerous, chilling in the Morning
Oh my little lovely baby
Kinda dangerous, chilling in the Morning
Furry, furry

[Outro]
With a little effort, summer and winter
Super comfortable, chilling in the morning
Kinda dangerous, chilling in the Morning

Bedtime Story

I'm often outside in the forest, taking my daily walks. It's beautiful out there. But it's also painful because there are so many traces of destruction made by people:  Roadkilled animals like fire salamanders and blindworms. Waste and litter they left there, looking for recreation in nature but leaving it without any respect. Sometimes I wander for hours through the woods but still hear the noises of cars and planes. Some weeks ago I found "my" forest destructed by Harvesters. The place was a mess, it looked like a battlefield! All for profit - for growth, growth, growth....I just sat there and cried because it felt so incredible bad and I was ashamed to belong to the human species. Even now as I write and remember the day, I feel the tears behind my eyes.

A thought I liked then was how it all would look like if we humans were no longer here. How the plant and animal world slowly can recover. Breathe again. A thought that gives me solace and comfort in a time when everyone with eyes can see that it's wrong how we treat our environment. Another day without humanity - the track describes pretty much the feeling I have when I imagine a world without human destruction and carelessness.

Heidi K is a skilled musician I met here on Soundcloud and although she is not mainly doing ambient music, she was a wonderful collaborateur and brought up great musical ideas and samples.  She shares my love for music and nature and it has been a pleasure to work with her. Thank you very much, Heidi! https://on.soundcloud.com/8H85G

Dancing with Shadows

I want to be and stay myself.
That includes further development.
I was born on January 16, 1976 in Hanau.
I had home organ lessons at the age of 9, then another 2 1/2 years at the piano at the age of 11.
