43 years have passed and here I am again on the platform waiting for this train which will transport me and make me travel to Castile and then Andalusia, final destination.

Saved

[Verse 1]
Packed my bags, left the shore,
Ventura sun, I’d see no more.
Dad had plans, we crossed the sea,
But in Geneva, it wasn’t meant to be.

At first, it felt like something new,
American school, a different view.
But then he left for Africa's call,
And I felt lost, I felt small.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Verse 2]
Athens nights and Cyprus skies,
Each new stop, a piece of life.
But my heart was set ahead,
To the Holy Land where my soul was led.

Half the day with hands in dirt,
Half the day where books would work.
Simple life, the air so clean,
It felt like waking from a dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Bridge]
Didn’t need a map, just a heart on fire,
Wanderer’s soul, climbing higher.
Maybe home’s not a place on a map,
But a feeling you chase and never look back.

[Outro]
Ventura’s waves still call my name,
But I’m not the same, I’ve changed my lane.
From Geneva’s halls to an open sky,
This is my life—I won't say goodbye.

[Final Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

Get Up

Smalts Tracks, Multiple Souls: The Art of Versions Returns. In 1970s Jamaica, a revolution began. One band, countless voices.

We recorded our Smalts song 'B B Told You So' from poet W.H. Auden, imagined through the voice of our enigmatic female guest singer B, telling her story about the poem 'But I Can't'

B B Told You So is the second single in the Smalts Queen B Series.

B B Told You So

kolkhorst 2025

l had to tell my friends of my cancer problem, when l was 23 years old.
Years went by. They thought l was tripping...
Now the best shit: l still have it!! Since last summer we know what the deal is about. 
They never checked the lymph system...

 jetzt bin ich seit ewigkeiten endstadium. das kickt extrem. der schilddrüsentumor und das rieseteil auf der halsaorta sind dem grunge vollkommen egal. lch gehe jetzt nochmal jede kolkhorst epoche durch und mache dazu jeweils ein lied. (hier werden es mehr als eins)  hier sind wir im pathologic neighborhood bereich. diese band gab es von 1987-1994. christoph koch: giraffe - alex koch: bass - piet wagner: dr - michael büttner: bass (später) und ich so als nur sänger, da meine arme vom schlagzeugspiel im eimer waren. dieses lied ist im style von damals.
das foto hat andre schuster  am 20.12.1990 in der nordlandhalle lüneburg geschossen. rock gegen rechts. es gab den abend eine bombendrohung und der raum musste geräumt werden. danach ging dann mit uns weiter.

der highpoint war, als die band in lüneburg 1993 mit dritte wahl und ferris mc in der alten FH lüneburg auftrat. damals als trio mit mir am bass.


ich sang dann in weiteren metal bands, die sich unzählig wieder auflösten, wie bushaltestellen quasi. irgendwann reichte mir dieser komplizierte kram und es ging mit einem chord weiter, den ich dann schon selber spielen konnte.
aber das ist dann die nächste geschichte. und es kann sein, dass das material nicht immer lupenrein ist - ich hab schon probleme bei der herstellung. aber es geht noch xD wenn wir diesen song schon 1990 gespielt hätten, wäre die welt wohl eine andere geworden. 
"hinterher ist man immer schlauer", so könnte diese compilation heissen.

rock on!

Lyrics:
Jesus Christ, let me live
I've been around since Lilith and Adam wed
I've seen your wars, seen the things that I can't forget

We met in pre-Adamite paradise, before time
I knew when I saw your face, how your voice sounds
You cracked some jokes but didn't know why you were funny
I spent a thousand something years looking over my shoulder
And there you were, in the Hanging Gardens
Tigris shon off your skin in the moonlight
I smiled at you, you took a hundred second glances
Your name echoed

Jesus Christ, let me live
I've been around since Lilith and Adam wed
I've seen your wars, seen the things that I can't forget

(Jesus Christ, you bastards win)
(You left me broken, bloodied and all beaten in)
(Not wings, suspended on a shoestring)

(Jesus Christ, you bastards win)
(You left me broken, bloodied and all beaten in)
(Not wings, suspended on a shoestring)

Empires fell and the bronze age collapsed
We just lay in our house, and I read you the greats
In Alexandria, we saw the library stormed
And you cursed their bloodlines for ruining your bed time story

Now our hair dragged behind us for a mile or two,
And our nails were as long as addition arms
One night you fashioned your nails into sixty daggers
And slayed the Caesar but never came home
That place had too many memories, so I burnt it to the ground
I cut my hair in the ashes and left for a new world

In sauna, I saw her, a fading angel
I thought I knew her face and her voice, it felt like home
She opened the wrong doors and
Didn't know why I found her funny
I hadn't felt this way for someone since I met you
I read her the classics, by my definition
Even the lost ones she said, sounded familia
And finally came the conversation of "how old you are"
I couldn't get a straight answer
I finally knew.

Jesus Christ, let me live
I've been around since Lilith and Adam wed
I've seen your wars, seen the things that I can't forget
Jesus Christ, you bastards win
You left me broken, bloodied and all beaten in
Not wings, suspended on a shoestring
