Lyrics:

Intro
Deep cuts thin lines run through
Deep cuts thin lines run through
Deep cuts thin lines run through
Deep cuts thin lines run through

Verse
The mind is powerful
But for the feelings that it craves
The mind's unstoppable
But for the heart’s compulsive ways

If the place you flow, your energy through 
Is the place that you blow your mind
Take a taste from the cup, that replenishes you
All else is a waste of time…

Bridge
I've got this screen you see
It keeps on feeding me
It's like pure nicotine
It keeps me hungry

Chorus

Deep cuts thin lines run through
You better hold on to the lies and the truth
Deep cuts thin lines run through

Deep cuts thin lines run through
You better hold on to the lies and the truth
Some of us spend our lives in a vision
Some of us spin lies for a livin 

Verse
Though the mind it is powerful
There’s this fear sometimes
And it’s unstoppable  
And though the colour may fade from sight
Without the darkness  
There is no light

The place that you flow your energy through
Is the place that you will find
Slower songs than anyone
Deeper cuts and thinner lines… 

Bridge
In this quiet time
You are crying out
You are a friend of mine
But I can't hear you shout

I've got this screen you see
That keeps on feeding me
It's like pure nicotine
It keeps me hungry

Chorus
Deep cut thin lines run through
You better hold on to the lies and the truth
Deep cut thin lines run through

Deep cut thin lines run through
You better hold on to the lies and the truth
Some of us spend our lives in a vision
Some of us spin lies for a livin

Repeat Chorus

Outro, End.

This song is about trying to spend more time on the things and with the people that make you (and them) thrive. Its about the struggles of getting out of habits of inaction, wasting time on the stuff that doesnt matter, instead of spending time engaging in more life enhancing moments. These habits and compulsions to pay attention to the worthless are difficult to shift. They can form deep cut thin lines in our minds that are hard to notice and even more difficult to escape from. The song culminates in an instrumental outro which echoes the positive feeling of breaking free into the 'flow' state and finding yourself thriving on life...kinda the way I felt when I was playing it. I hope you enjoy it.

Deep Cut Thin Lines

In Every Dream Home A Heartache is a Roxy Music classic. Lyrically, the song is a sinister monologue, part critique of the emptiness of opulence, partly a love song to an inflatable doll. This is a Trap style remix.

Sazanka is a name of winter flower often seen anywhere in Japan. I love to see the flowers falling on the ground like snow flakes. It makes me think of our life time and all the beautiful gifts from the nature.

Lyrics

Flowers, blowing wind
Flowing over my head
Slip inside ,Break me down
I see you, how once we, lately again

But I hope you remember me 
There are leaves falling on
Still my eyes keep on (the ) flow
Couldn’t take my eyes off, All…

When we’re outside into the shadows
Fall on ground
She left behind away
 I missing you all alone
 In the world
                    
When we’re outside into the shadows
 Fall on ground
 She never find your way
 I missing you all alone
 
  I missing , dreaming, over over again

Sazanka

A song that wonders whatever happened to Jolene from the famous Dolly Parton song as the years went by…  Jolene, did you ever find your forever man?

Over the Rainbow [instrumental] Trumpet and piano

I did this trumpet and piano version in early 2021.

Two favourite covers come to mind for this famous classic. One is by Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole from Hawaii who is no longer with us and Eva Cassidy who has also departed this earthly plain. Both are on youtube. Eva has some other great songs there as well. 

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

Piano arrangement and performance by jazz pianist Doug McKenzie. Trumpet arrangement and performance by yours truly.

What to say about Maximilian?
There are so many things to be told: a lifetime of 24 years, full of special moments, joys, fears, sorrows, worries, hopes, dreams, ups, downs, progress, regress, searching, finding, winning, losing, restlessness, peace...
His life had begun with an extremely difficult birth, almost as if the world didn’t want him. They told us he had a life-threatening infection, there were probably holes in his lungs and he obviously had no kidneys. In total, his chances of surviving were exceedingly slim. However, after endless weeks of both despair and hope, he overcame the infection, the diagnosis of holes in his lungs turned out to be totally wrong and they even discovered a kidney.  Just one maybe but at least it worked perfectly.  His journey into existence had begun.
As he grew, so did the never-ending nightmare of problems, challenges and battles, until we began to wonder what could possibly happen next.  Through it all, Max took every opportunity to accumulate extreme experiences - never hiding, always   seeking.  For that, we loved him even more…and even more it broke our hearts that we couldn’t help him find what he was looking for.
But suddenly, as the Summer of 2011 dawned, his troubles seemed to merely fade away.  Was he just arriving in life, coming of age, finding his place in society?  To be honest, we hadn’t the faintest idea.  But it was abundantly clear that, having always been an underdog, that same unwelcoming world had simply started to like and respect him.  He began to realise his many talents, enjoying his job as never before, finally becoming something he had never been - happy.
Fast forward to the gorgeous Summer evening of June 28th, the eve of a 4-week vacation to which he had been looking forward so very much.  A smile on his face, he said he was in the mood to go jogging, something he loved. Sometimes, he ran and ran for ages.  He’d been gone about 3 hours, quite a long time even for him, so Carina called his phone and he answered, cheerfully telling her not to worry and assuring her he’d be home very soon.  Seconds after the call, out of the blue, he collapsed.  A pulmonary embolism.  They told us he died instantly. 
Max, we have no words for what happened, nor for the eternal gratitude we feel for every single second of your life.  We do know we will never stop loving you.”
(Hans & Carina Albers)

Small chance of survival, words from the first day
Stretching all emotions not a single which way
Asking whys and reasons, a chance to breathe long
Heartbreaking moments, hopes remained strong

Such a short distance, but a life running miles
Bring every sensation, fear to a million smiles
Experience not forgotten, continuous hug of care      
Born with fighting spirit, giving back more to share

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, never to forget

Every challenge building, inner muscles to be felt
Secret ways to be happy, never question hand dealt         
Complication of thinking to find a new sentence 
Pathways to friendships, dreams of acceptance

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, never to forget

A vision full of truth with strength to admire
Finding a hidden talent, past helping to aspire 
No journey of distance could prevent direction
A phone call assurance became last connection

It’s hard to find words, express feelings remaining 
Deep down inside shell, empty, sad, self-complaining 
But we will never forget our boy hero from birth
Brought love and kindness, past and future unblurred

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, will never forget
24 years of love…

FUTURE TALK

A huge thank you to Stefan @stefankraft_music for his splendid orchestral reimaginings of my piano compositions, which resulted in creating an incredibly captivating sonic tapestry. It has been a great honour and joy for me to collaborate with this immensely talented composer and musician.

Thank you so much for listening, we genuinely hope you will enjoy this work.

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Prompting Takes A Lot Of Skill

Ascension tells the story of a protagonist following his career path, overcoming fears and barriers, getting over self doubt and adverse conditions. Or maybe the tale of a space odyssey operated by a huge company and its rise to the most powerful entity of mankind. 

Choose whatever you want and please tell it in the comments.

This is a hybrid track starting with a solo violin and piano and strings accompaniment. A constant soft string ostinato is opposed to a synth pulse. The middle part starts very ambient with spacious pads but rises in tension with the help of the orchestra.

The climax is introduced with a strong melodic statement played by horns. It's further developed with modulation and varied instrumentation.

The outro is more or less a mirror of the intro.

Ascension

Inspired by Jorge Morel's Danza Brasileira 
His years of countless serenades are manifested in his face as well as this fast paced Danza styling.
His six string reverberates through the streets and nearby alleyways.

Danza Brasileira

The Way You Look Tonight" is a song from the film Swing Time that was performed by Fred Astaire and composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics written by Dorothy Fields. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936.

NEVER FALL

singer-songwriter/guitarist /composer/arranger. I do everything about making songs by myself.  Basically my music consists of acoustic guitar playing and vocals, but now I’m trying to make it sounds  more catchy and enjoyable for today’s listeners. And I’d like to say that listening to the music on SoundCloud always give me such inspiration and motivation. I do love and respect your great works!
Wish you all good health and safety from my heart🕊️💛 And thank you so much for your listenings and support, always🙏✨✨✨
