Magical Music feat. Oddrun Eikli

These are my favorite songs that I've listened to on Soundcloud over the last 3 months. They have not necessarily been released recently, just really good tunes that I wanted to immortalize for my future, continued enjoyment and perhaps yours as well! The songs are in no particular order as well as no favoritism extended to any close Soundcloud friends. An objective catalogue of greats!

The Little Mermaid - The Little Mermaid's Song Feat. Oddrun Eikli

" Before every  important moment in our lives there are the emotions and tensions if waiting
 between the dreams and the expectations...
 Until the moment arrives and became a precious memory of yesterday  to tell and to preserve" Lenn.

A Beautiful Piano-orchestral Pop song.

Before

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)

This is an original "power ballad-ish" song I wrote WAY back around 1990! I recorded it at a friend's pre-DAW, ADAT based studio in Las Vegas around 1998. Duet partner was popular local Christian artist Annie Meadows. I recently pulled it out and remixed it using some modern tools!

You And The City

Frozen Brain

"Black & White give us a sense of duality like Yin and Yang, the good and the evil..
Two opposites to each other...
References and part of the search of balance in everithing...
Harmony like the keys of piano or the dance of serveral dancers...
Character like a filter of image or video...
Only Black & White? No shades!...
Unique, relevant, essential...
The starting point of everything...
A return of the essence of  forms and lines".

A modern Piano - New Age composition.

The Forensic- Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

In the waning light of the 19th century, Albert was the kind of doctor you’d trust with your life—and your secrets. He stitched wounds and whispered comfort in the same breath, a gentle soul in a village that smelled of woodsmoke and horse sweat. Folks said he had healing in his hands and kindness in his bones.
But by 1920, the village had grown teeth. Brick buildings clawed at the sky, and the streets pulsed with something darker—something hungry. The city needed a forensic pathologist, not a kindly country doctor. Bodies were turning up in alleyways, drained of life and layered in mystery. And Albert, well... Albert answered the call.
That’s when the dreams began.
He’d wake with blood under his fingernails and no memory of how it got there. He started talking to himself—or rather, someone inside him started talking back. A voice that knew things Albert shouldn’t. A voice that liked the smell of formaldehyde and whispered about what lay beneath the skin.
Albert tried to resist. God knows he did. But the city was changing, and so was he. The question wasn’t whether he’d lose himself. The question was: who would he become when he did?

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.”

Musical notes: I was inspired by the fabulous music of Theodore Shapiro.

The Forensic

A sequel to King's Daughter. Will she be able to free herself from her father's shackles?

King's Daughter - Freed from Bondage

This piece is an emotional journey from a dark and sinister origin to a bright and hopeful finale. If you like passionate low whistles combined with tasteful orchestration, you should definitely give it a listen.
As with my recent work I've added a lot of live recordings (e.g. the low whistle performances). You can find quite a few "behind the scenes" views in my YouTube shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@TorbenFugger/shorts

A Glimmer of Hope

Isn't it haunting? (2025) - Float like a ghost from post to post
“Isn’t It Haunting” is a dark, atmospheric pop track that explores the eerie side of digital life and social media escapism. Built on cinematic, ethereal synths with hints of chamber pop, it captures the feeling of floating like a ghost through endless feeds—connected, yet deeply isolated. With its haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, the song asks: who are we when our art, memories, and connections exist only online? Perfect for playlists that feature moody, introspective, or futuristic pop, “Isn’t It Haunting” resonates with anyone who’s ever felt lost in the digital noise.

LYRICS: 
These thoughts go drifting by
And I watch them fade away
Where they come from I don’t know
Where they go, who can say
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another twist in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go 

What are the rules in this game
Are there any rules at all?
These thoughts go drifting by
And down the waterfall
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another chapter in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

Now I’m standing by the river
At the foot of the mountainside
Will the grass be any greener
Over on the other side
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another time, another story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

The Break-in

'My Drouthy Cronie' is a line from the Robert Burn's poem, 'Tam o' Shanter', and is a tribute to the many 'drouthy cronies' I have shared time with over the past 60 years or so. Some have passed and some are still alive and kicking. I thank them all for sharing some of their valuable time with me.

3+2 walk (Theo Bina)

(No genIA involved. I use my voice and Vst instruments)
(Traduit plus bas)

In the land, the light is getting cold / colder
Feel your hands, the cold is biting more / deeper
Now listen, your heart is beating slow / beating slower, weaker 

See the sky, the colors start to fade / stranger
Hear the ground, the earth is shaking now / danger 
Understand, the change is coming close / coming nearer, clearer

In the land, the light is getting cold 
(In the silence, despair)
Feel your hands, the cold is biting more 
(Something's gone, yet waiting somewhere)
Now listen, your heart is beating slow
Beating slower, weaker 

It's getting harder these days
To understand how we may
Take life as it comes
When everything seems like a curse
One thing and its reverse
And when we only speak with guns

What should we do
When people go insane ? 

When every dream turns to dust  
And love’s replaced by mistrust  
When life sounds like a bad play 
I wonder how we'll get through
But still we can do  
Step by step, that's the way
Us, them, me and you
When life is about to change

What am I supposed to do 
When comes the change

What am I supposed to do 
When comes the change

-----
Dans le pays, la lumière devient froide / plus froide
Sens tes mains, le froid mord plus fort / plus profondément
Maintenant écoute, ton cœur bat lentement / bat plus lentement, plus faiblement
 
Regarde le ciel, les couleurs commencent à s'estomper / étrange
Écoute le sol, la terre tremble maintenant / danger 
Comprends, le changement approche / se rapproche, devient plus clair

Sur la terre, la lumière se refroidit 
(Dans le silence, le désespoir)
Sens tes mains, le froid mord davantage 
(Quelque chose a disparu, mais attend quelque part)
Maintenant écoute, ton cœur bat lentement
Bat plus lentement, plus faiblement 

C'est de plus en plus difficile ces jours-ci
De comprendre comment nous pouvons
Prendre la vie comme elle vient
Quand tout semble être une malédiction
Une chose et son contraire
Et quand nous ne parlons plus qu'avec des armes

Que devons-nous faire
Quand les gens deviennent fous ? 

Quand tous les rêves se transforment en poussière
Et que l'amour est remplacé par la méfiance
Quand la vie ressemble à une mauvaise pièce de théâtre 
Je me demande comment nous allons nous en sortir
Mais nous pouvons encore le faire
Pas à pas, c'est comme ça
Nous, eux, moi et toi
Quand la vie est sur le point de changer

Que suis-je censé faire 
Quand vient le changement

Que suis-je censé faire 
Quand vient le changement

When Comes the Change

[I accidentally removed the track. Sorry about that - those who have already listened can just move on].
Unfortunately, the connection has dropped, and we cannot be sure what is happening in the apartment where, at such a late hour, the light is still on. Probably nothing; they’re likely watching a film or reading a book. They might be projecting their reactions outward, and what we see could therefore be nothing more than the reflection of someone else’s nightmares — or dreams. Certainly, we have now reached a turning point: nothing can any longer be regarded as real, or the opposite... (all talk!).

This is the fifth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

We Will Not Bow Down To - Destraction Denial And Inertia

Cast of characters:


Gaz Brownie — @user-755327533 — Gaz — vocals, vocal harmonies, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums/ percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and piano
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– mix, production, and mastering

This song began by Gaz composing it and on his acoustic guitar, and singing his original lyrics over it. Gaz is a brilliant songwriter, lyricist, and singer, with whom we've worked before. However, this is the first song he's shared with us. He gave it to Ken first, who started the project and invited the rest of us to it.
  Ken, who was the originator of the project, was actually the second person to lay down a part, which he did to Josh's bass, instead of the other way around, as they usually do it. Stephen then came in and replaced Gaz's acoustic guitar with his silky smooth electric guitar. JJ got down on his magical piano and organ parts not long after Stephen added his guitar. 
  This was a somewhat uncomplicated process, as Gaz gave us a fully realized song to work with right from the start. Tez sealed the deal with his expert production to cap it off, too.
  As mentioned, this is our second song starring Gaz, and we're very grateful to him for sharing his magic with us. We're all looking forward to working together again in the future, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Gaz Brownie:
V1
Im drawing the conclusion that 
Im just being polite 
And questioning myself is it me our are they right
I’m feeling a little angry hope it’s not out of spite 
Is just a reaction to this uncomfortable night 

Chorus 
When did the world stop listening 
When did the world stop listening 


V2
As we compete for space to try & speak
Everyone’s on journey on a bus to shit creek
With condescending story’s of their bad & awesome week
And I’m working on finding just a better style of technique 

Chorus 

V3
I avoid catching that struggle bus 
Don’t wanna be part of my problem and be misunderstood 
What are you looking at is there something you wanna discuss 
I push his   face up the window cause I’ve had enough 

Finish on a chorus

When Did The World Stop Listening?- Gaz Brownie/Eclectic Collective

Savourer le Mr Freeze  
On me le dit souvent, alors je m’assois et j’attends.  
Monsieur frise un peu trop souvent,  
qu’on me le dise…  
J’attends, j’attends.  

L’air du temps qui glisse à travers le vent,  
À mâcher du réglisse et s’asseoir,  
Et à perdre son temps… alors j’attends.  

J’attends.  
Resté inactif et le regard vif,  
Je voulais y revenir un peu trop souvent.  
Mr rit de toutes ses dents,  
Et tu me le dis…  
J’attends.  

L’air de rien qui passe comme le vent,  
Souffle, traverse le temps et s’assoit,  
Se terre souvent… alors  
J’attends.  

Resté immobile même si la vie défile,  
Sur mon côté débile si facile,  
Dégouline une larme sur ma joue.  
La menthe me manque, juste une envie.  
Personne n’arrive, un ciel trop clair,  
À crier dans les airs…  
J’attends.  


J'attend

this is a quickie I put together after a conversation with a mate ……….peace, and cheers for having a listen

Who I Am

is it a dog or a cat maybe a mouse could be a rat
is it a bottle or a can and let me know
who I am

is it a leaf or a tree is it the honey or the bee
dressed as mutton  could be the lamb please let me know
who I am

is it a highway or a road  could be a frog maybe a toad
Is it a fish or the clam  and can you tell me
who I am

Is it the ocean or the sea  is it a forest or a bunch of trees
was the daughter the son of Sam  and can you tell me
who I am

is it real or is it fake animal lover or beefsteak
reject the pig or eat the ham and can you tell me
who I am

Is it a spark or a flame is it mega or is it lame
is it old or secondhand and can you tell me
who I am

is it the singer or the song roll a joint or stoke the bong
breathing water or walking land can you tell me
who I am

who I am

Is it X or is it Y real musician or ai
sperm donor or a happy dad and can you tell me
who I am

Who I Am

(No GenAI inside. I use my voice and VST instruments on my songs)

I tried to talk to my piano
I tried to talk to my guitar
Talked to my imagination
Confided into alcohol

I tried and tried and tried some more
Told secrets 'til my voice was sore
Tired of empty conversation
'Cause no one hears me anymore

A hundred million stories
And a hundred million songs
I feel stupid when I sing
Nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening

I talked to shooting stars
But they always get it wrong
I feel stupid when I pray
So why am I praying anyway?
If nobody's listening

Anyone, please send me anyone
Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone,
Anyone, please send me anyone
Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone

I used to crave the world's attention
I think I cried too many times
I just need some more affection
Anything to get me by

A hundred million stories
And a hundred million songs
I feel stupid when I sing
Nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening

I talked to shooting stars
But they always get it wrong
I feel stupid when I pray
Why the fuck am I praying anyway?
If nobody's listening

Anyone, please send me anyone
Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone,
Anyone, please send me anyone
Oh, Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone

Oh, anyone, I need anyone
Oh, anyone, I need someone

A hundred million stories
And a hundred million songs
I feel stupid when I sing
Nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening

Anyone (cover Demi Lovato)

The Soughing Wind - Feat.Oddrun Eikli

****We have decided to link the song to a fundraising campaign. All proceeds and donations related to the song will go to a UNICEF project that supports children in the war-torn regions of Ukraine. We appreciate every contribution to the project, whether big or small. Thank you for your support!
https://www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r ****

 “The Greatest Gifts” is a Christmas song about everything you can’t wrap: closeness, kindness, friendship, and the people who make life a little brighter. The project has been in the works since summer. It all began at the end of June, when my good friend Mike Fox and I first talked about the idea. 
The beautiful lyrics were written by Andrea Brennan, and from there it slowly grew into an international collaboration with many wonderful singers, each bringing their own voice, character, and warmth. 

After all, the greatest gifts aren’t the ones under the tree – they’re the smiles, the helping hands, the shared laughter, and the moments that connect us.

Watch the video on YouTube. You can also see all the singers there:

THEY SAY A TOAD IS ONE UGLY CREATURE 
THEY NEVER CHECKED THEMSELVES  IN A MIRROR 
THEY TELL YOU SO THEY TELL YOU NO
THEY HAVE TOLD YOU LONG AGO
FOLLOW THE FLOW AND BEND DOWN LOW
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS BLOW

THEY SAY DON’T TRY THE GANGES RIVER
THAT’S IF YOU’RE NOT A TRUE BELIEVER
THEY TELL YOU STOP THEY TELL YOU GO
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD LONG AGO
YOU SHOULD EAT NO NO YELLOW SNOW
ONE THING YOU SHOULD DO IS BLOW

THEY TRY TO OVERBLOW YOUR PICTURE
UNTIL YOUR FACE WON’T SHOW IN THE MIRROR
DO AS THEY SAY NOD AND OBEY
WHO YOU ARE DON’T LET IT SHOW
JUST HOPE AND PRAY WAITING FOR THE DAY
WHEN THE TIME HAS COME TO BLOW
BLOW

Puttin' On The Ritz is a song written by Irving Berlin in 1927. The title derives from the slang expression "to put on the Ritz", meaning to dress very fashionably. The song was very popular after it was recorded by Fred Astaire in 1930.

If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
