8 Le Coeur Léger

Ocean

This song was inspired by "The Cold Heart" (German: Das kalte Herz), a fairy tale written by Wilhelm Hauff. It was published in 1827 in a collection of fairy tales that take place within the narrative of The Spessart Inn.
Although written almost 200 years ago, the described conflicts of mankind are still up-to-date, maybe even more than before. Preferring status und prosperity over humanity is something which has become socially acceptable.

Special thanks for prelistening and precious ideas to my dear friend Gary Reeves!

Lyrics
Peter was in the charcoal business
never in peace with the live he was living
made a deal with the forest spirit
Three wishes and a new life given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
 
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

It did not play out like you were whishing for
glassworks went down and you needed much more
sold your heart to Dutch Mike to keep living
a heart of stone and the fortune you were given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Flourishing business kept you going
but your smile was eternally frozen
when your drivers faded and you had murdered love
nothing left there but an empty heart

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Stone Cold Heart

Scream for Your Life before it changes forever.

I Can't Remember Love (From Queen's Gambit)

Echoes Of The Sun

I offered these lyrics to Axel, and he turned them into a very beautiful and emotional song. 

Lyrics: Andrea Brennan
Music, vocals and production: Axel Menningen

Love is the captor I welcomed to find
But now that you're gone, how my heart cries
I'm surviving on memories replayed in my mind

Our home now a house, the warmth faded and gone
Death is the poison nightmares feed upon
And it's cold as Hell, yet a fire burns on

How long does it take to heal this broken heart
Piece together my world that has fallen apart
To feel once more like I did before
How long does it take to heal this broken heart

Sweet remnants of you everywhere that I look
Slippers by the bed, pink robe on a hook
Reading glasses perched on your unfinished book

Things can't dry my tears and they can't hold me tight
Things cannot rock me gently through the night
And things cannot whisper everything will be alright

How long does it take to heal this broken heart
Piece together my world that has fallen apart
To feel once more like I did before
How long does it take to heal this broken heart

How Long Does It Take

In your wildest dreams (Rehearsal)

E penso a te Lucio Battisti cover Tonia Madonna

HAPLESSLY ROMANTIC  

	Somewhere in a bucket of miscues
	He found parts of his heart
	He thought it’s something he might use
	Why not, it’s a place to start

	He knew he had to let go
	Liquor and anger had stolen his days
	She hoped he wanted to know
	But wondered if he still prays

		Haplessly romantic, he was Spartan of phrase
		His timing was frantic, he was lost in a haze
		The space between the two of them could drive them apart
		At the rate they’re going, they might make it an art

	Downstairs in the basement of lifetimes
	He kept what he can’t reveal
	Upstairs in the kitchen of sunshine
	She knew what glances to steal
 
	They shop for joy for their children
	As hate grows like mold in the damp
	She has the will of a pilgrim
	His mind contracts like a cramp 
  
		I don’t need a legacy, I just want you
		Got no time for fantasy when truth will do
		What we do from here is up to just us two
		I don’t try to love you, it’s just what I do

				Our time has come, children have gone
				We’ll get there if we don’t take too long

		I don’t do bad things to appear a good person
		Being a soldier is no excuse
		I don’t preach salvation hoping things worsen
		No one ever outruns the hounds they let loose

"WELCOME"

"WELCOME" By: DOMINIQUEFRENCH Collaboration with DANKE NOETIC 6-4-20

Composer, guitarist, singer stranded on a beach in Yucatan, Mexico.  Gigged in bands as a drummer since I was a kid in Thailand, Brazil, and the US, and indelibly influenced by all of these places.  No claims to fame beyond shoulder rubbing with the renowned on rare occasions.  I am blessed with collaborators like English singer/songwriter Michael Sellers and producer Sergio Aguilar, plus a roster of other dazzling musicians in Mérida.  So I ain't done yet.
