All My Yesterdays (Lyrics)

My mind ain't what it used to be
Now playing tricks on me
Places and faces I don't recall

Is this my bed, is this my home
Why these thoughts please Leave me alone
Who am I what's it all coming to

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

When I wake I think I don't know
Looking for those who passed long ago
Oh why is this happening to me

Its such a strange such a lonely place
Thoughts leave you without a trace 
All my memories are slipping away

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

I see something warm in your eyes
Struggle with your name I try and recognize
I'm sorry but this isn't me

Hold my hand comfort me
I know you now momentarily
How I wish this moment would last

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading 

As song I wrote and recorded for an Alzheimer's charity! A subject very dear to me. Apart from funds raised it was also to highlight awareness to this heartbreaking condition.

All My Yesterdays - Original Song

White City
Snow in my eyes
White City
Quiet tonight
Rest easy rest easy rest easy
Your mother will come home tonight
White City
There’s no need to fight
White City
Broken and tired
Rest easy rest easy rest easy
Your mother will come home tonight
Your mother will come home There's no need to fight Your mother will come home So rest easy to tonight

White CIty Lullaby Reprise

Method: The poem came first. The collaboration with Vazcoatls (https://soundcloud.com/vazcoatls) came second. Now listen to a brand new audioverse .... Vazcoatls, it's a real pleasure to feel your sonic presence in every second of this.
Narration: The poem acknowledges some of the extreme, existential and intense performances by Marina Abramovich and Ulay. https://mai.art/
Image: Based on two photos and quite some GIMPing by JR.



Poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in Tiny Inclusions, in: Auslegpapier):

This is her partner. With rest
energy, he holds the bowstring,
the arrow about to speed
forward, right into her chest.

A single movement would make
all the difference a difference
can make. She watches him
breathing, breathing slowly herself.

This breath does not belong to her.
They have shared up all the oxygen
between them before. This is his
breath, as well, that keeps her alive.
Noone can enter the room without
squeezing through their only nostril.

Usual, chronic lack of time to properly fine-tune the whole damn, anyway...to be continued_ _

Aged 23…

Youth is a bad curse/

Youth is a disease/

Youth is a bad thing/

Youth is just a myth.

The youth is a myth/

Youth is a disease/

Youth is a myth/

Aged 23…

Being young is a curse/

Silly (x23)

The province is beautiful,

the province sucks, 

the province is beautiful, 

the province sucks, the province has ruined you, the province has impoverished you, 

the province can save you,

the province is bloody, 

no one can save you.

Harmony

I still remember the day this song was born. on a Sunday morning in August in 2015.
recently awake and with strange feelings, difficult to define ...
so I went to the piano and found this music.
I tried it again for the whole morning and most of the song was already defined at the end of the day. it was one of the few times in my life that a musical idea took shape and substance so quickly, without too many second thoughts. I have only revised a few details over time, like some notes or rests, but otherwise it is perfect in my opinion. there is no need for anything else. I received appreciation from several friends or people I know when I proposed listening to it .. and so I decided to make it known to a wider audience. I think it is one of the songs that has given me greater awareness as an artist. a kind of beginning ... for a road that I am still walking.

Version update on 25/01/2023.

After so many years and after so many daily rehearsals I managed to reinterpret this piece again in an attempt to add some small details that enrich the atmosphere. No effect or compression etc.  added, only a very light editing to correct the dynamics and attack of some chords or notes.
