Harold Van Lennep - Horizon (Extended Mix)

despair has countless faces. many of these might be masks that despair hides behind so skillfully that not even their owners recognize them. it's no wonder, then, that people affected by this, realize they have a problem but misinterpret its cause completely. somehow it seems more acceptable to consider oneself e.g. angry than to consider oneself feeling desperate, or hurt, or fearful, or lost in doubts.

doubts: puberty is undoubtedly a phase of life characterized by significant doubt. and perhaps one of humanity's central problems stems from our failed approach to dealing with this phase of doubt aka despair. it’s toxic masculinity. 

heaps of bullshit are associated with this buzzword. anyway, I associate it with the oppressive difficulties that our beloved son max had to face during his adolescence – in a world that is fixated on rigid role models in such a merciless, insensitive and ruthless way. toxic…

it's almost impossible to cushion that as a family. of course, you can always talk about it and provide mental support. but the influence of the outside world is far too powerful. so, max went through a period full of doubt, insecurity, and fear, and used a lot of masks to hide it. in the end, he found his way, which was a massive relief to us before his journey came to such an abrupt end. 

max, we love you all the more forever!

the lyrics written in memory of those times have been translated by DeepL without working out corresponding english rhymes. the musical template was provided by a guitar arpeggio piece written and recorded a while ago – without realizing the harmonies aren’t that vocal-friendly. 

that only became apparent when I was working on it with suno. so, I decided to work out two versions. the first closely follows the original backing tracks (including cümbüş for the banjos) and the “guitared” vocal melody. the second is more direct and minimalized, like an inner voice. for that's what it's all about.

you wake up tense, breath short, chest tight
already feeling like you gotta prove something today
mirror looking back like, you sure you’re enough?
every silence around you feels like a test you can’t name

be a man, they said
but the rules came wrapped in shame
so you built this armor
made of jokes, smirks, and sideways looks
if you speak soft, you’re weak
if you speak loud, you’re a threat
so you hover somewhere in between
trapped in that quiet panic

you’re tired of holding it in
you’re tired of playing “I am”
don’t know who're you, man
don’t know who're you, man
don’t know who're you, man
don’t know who're you, man
just want to breathe again
just want to breathe again

scrolling through your feed
confidence everywhere
and you hate that you hate it
jealous of the ease they move with
the way they take up space like they belong
you? you shrink inside your shoulders
acting cool while you crumble slow

your jaw locked. hands tight
every move rehearsed
you measure worth in silence
in how little you let slip
can’t bleed, can’t need, can’t bend
so you drown
looking composed the whole time

you’re tired of holding it in …

sometimes you swing
not because you’re strong 
but because you’re scared
scared they’ll see the cracks
the small boy under the armor
you talk loud, but it’s fear wearing a crown
you throw shade, but it’s envy in disguise

you’re trying to unlearn this weight
trying to breathe without proving it
to stop mistaking numb for power
to stop mistaking fear for pride
maybe one day, you’ll stand still
no front, no mask
just you
finally enough

you’re tired of holding it in …

1~
In a world of noise, we shape the sound
Every word, is a twist, a turn around
Echoes dance in electric threads
Jazz meets rock, where the current spreads

What stories do we weave tonight?
In the rhythm, let’s take flight.

2~
It's a curious thought, a fleeting glance
The world goes fast, I want to dance
An echo of dreams, a timeless trance
Don't you feel this chance?

We’re dancing shadows under neon lights
In this vibrant world, we chase the heights.

3~
In a world where chaos reigns, I speak,
Words stumble like shadows, yet I seek,
The rhythms of life, in jazz and rock,
Echo truths, ticking like a clock.

So tell me the story, let it unfold,
In eclectic whispers, let the truth be told.

4~
In the twilight, echoes of a tale unfurl
Words weave like shadows in this swirling world
Byte-sized thoughts dance on the edge of time
A canvas painted with rhythm, so sublime

Listen close, a story speaks anew
In the silence, find the truth of you

5~
Whispers sing as they play
t'was of that day, lost in notes that sway - that sway
Voices supple as they sing
Dreams will run away like children's shadows play
Let the night embrace....embrace
All the hearts in space...in space

6~
In a world so vast voices blend and shimmer
with echoes of the past
feel the light grow dimmer

Words float like whispers
IN THE TWILIGHTS EMBRACE !

I am interested in all kinds of music: from Delta Blues to free jazz, Nu Jazz, world music, folk music from all over the world, experimental music, classical music, cheesy pop music, cerebral minimalist music....
	In short: music has always played an important role in my life...  not only listening to it  but also creating it.   ;-)
	From the trumpet to the guitar, the ukulele, keyboards, my mouth and anything else that can produce a sound, I enjoy myself without too many constraints other than ‘having fun’.
	Fun that I share with you... 
	Enjoy listening to my productions as much as I enjoyed producing them.


	Toutes les musiques m’intéressent : du Delta Blues au freejazz en passant par le NuJazz, de la World au Folk de tous pays, de l'expérimental au classique, de la variété cucul à la musique minimaliste cérébrale...
	Bref : La musique a toujours occupé une partie importante dans ma vie...  non seulement l'écouter  mais aussi la pondre.   ;-)
De la trompette en passant par la guitare, le ukulele, les claviers, la bouche et tout ce qui peut produire un son, je m'amuse sans trop de contraintes si ce n'est « me faire plaisir. ».
	Plaisir que je vous partage...
	 Amusez vous à l'écoute de mes productions comme j'ai pris du plaisir à les produire.

   These voices are no longer mine, but those of an algorithm. Like a subtle alchemist, AI has changed the colour of my voice, but not its flavour, and it has enhanced its emotion.

    Ces voix ne sont plus la mienne, Mais celles d’un algorithme. En alchimiste subtil, l’IA  a changé la couleur de ma voix, mais pas le goût  et elle  en a renforcé l’émotion.
