really great guitar tones with the keys, some awesome lines

You're one of my all time favs on SC - MastaJamez (Checkout the new Projekt)

Strong moody vibe with powerful natural shufflin' rhythmz makes for happy listeners.

Marco Lucchi : organ, bowed monochord, Blofeld synthesizer and Mellotron

Lyrics:

I'll feel myself now
Breaking hard
I’m weighed down
Hold it 'til you go there
Every single time
And I bleed hard
Hoping that you’ll heed hard
Knowing that we’ll be apart forever now

You say that you will, but you never call back
Leaving me sitting on the porch
Do you think I’m on crack
No, you never call back
You never loved me, now
No, you never loved me, now

I call sunshine
I'm gonna bathe my soul
And I know peace now
It’s more than you can hold
Cos I know this life
It’s all I’ve got to show
So I call sunshine
It glows in royal gold

I'll leave the race now
Slowing down
Found Grace, how
Catch a breath and breathe out
Falling starts to fly
So I move on
Sensing peace when you’re gone
Saying that the world keeps spinning ‘round just fine

You say that you will, but you never call back
Leaving me sitting on the porch
Do you think I’m on crack
No, you never call back
You never loved me, now
No, you never loved me, now

I call sunshine
I'm gonna bathe my soul
And I know peace now
It’s more than you can hold
Cos I know this life
It’s all I’ve got to show
So I call sunshine
I call sunshine
I'm gonna bathe my soul
And I know peace now
It’s more than you can hold
Cos I know this life
It’s all I’ve got to show
So I call sunshine
It glows in royal gold

You never loved me

Burnin' Burner - Riff Beach and Rock Flexible

the moisturizer

Most people write a love song about what they need from someone. This is a song about love. This is a real love song.

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you

I can’t see you, but I feel you
I can’t see you, but I feel you
I can’t see you, but I feel you

Life is pointless without you
Life is pointless without you
Life is pointless without you

Won’t take you for granted
Won’t take you for granted
Won’t take you for granted

I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
to live
to live

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you

All I Need

Behind The Cloud

In my spaceship I need a google-maps-version for the milky way. Othertwise I don´t know how to find home ...

Confused And Get Lost

ON TOMBE EN PANNE 
ON TOMBE EN RUINE
IL BRUINE SUR LES TOMBES
EST-CE LA FIN DU MONDE? 
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

DANS TOUS CES SPAMS
CES BAD FUZZING
LE LOUP GAROU DE LONDRES
L’OGRE GOOGLE IMMONDE
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

UN BON VIEUX TRAIN DE MARCHANDISE
QUELQUES BALLES DE COTON ET EN ROUTE LA VALISE
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

MOI JE M’ACHARNE
ET JE M’ÉCHINE
MAIS J’AI PERDU LA DATE
ET PAUMÉ TOUS MES DATAS
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

MOI TOUTES CES MERDES ME LES BRISENT
UNE HERBE ENTRE LES DENTS ET C’EST LA TERRE PROMISE
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

JUSTE DIX DOIGTS
POUR LE PICKING
ET BIEN SÛR COMME IL SE DOIT
UN MAXIMUM DE FEELING
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

ON TOMBE EN PANNE 
ON TOMBE EN RUINE
IL BRUINE SUR LES TOMBES
EST-CE LA FIN DU MONDE? 
ELISABETH COTTEN N’AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINE

ELIZABETH COTTEN N'AVAIT PAS BESOIN DE MACHINES (Lyrics)

This track is a very groove - driven one with guitars and guitarish lines, riffs and chops played and triggered completely by keys...
That's why it's titled "Keypoint".

Well, the socalled keypoint here is, that guitars triggered and played via the keys of a keyboard usually sound crappy or simply not authentic. At least I tried to execute the "axe" ...
But there are more points to get hooked by this track - it was a real pleasure to jam and build it up for me, filling it with a bunch of ideas and a whole lot of groove!

And that's for sure one of the major keypoints for me:
being pleased, satified and driven by positive energy...
in times when these aren't self-evident.

Hope you'll get hooked by optimism while listening as well!

_____________________________________

Calaminus was a one-man-project from Düsseldorf/Germany, producing groove-orientated instrumental music with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Acid/Nu)Jazz, Groove and Rock/Pop, sometimes enriched by several influences of our Worlds' Music.
From 2009 - 2021, I created more than 200 original music tracks, released 5 albums and actively colaborated with some fine musicians here.

In 2021, I decided to end this project after all these years due to the lack of general interest in my music and my own personal interest in music at all.
