Hilma, oh Hilma

“Dancing in the counterpoint, shadow on my soul…”
Dark trap hip-hop confession. Took Bach’s BWV 847, flipped it into something colder. Full song, raw vocals, Michigan nights.
Repost if the shadows speak back
Save if you’re riding this at 2AM

Lyrics:
You don’t wanna go
To Memphis
Too many thieves
Too many fences

Anything you wanna do
As long as I’m with you
Let’s talk it out 
Let’s work it out

Don’t wanna ride
You prefer walkin’
Say you can’t sleep
You feel like talking

Anything you wanna do
As long as I’m with you
Let’s talk it out 
Let’s work it out

Leave them behind
Best left forgotten
Baby blue sky
Clouds look like cotton

Anything you wanna do
As long as I’m with you
Let’s talk it out 
Let’s work it out
Let’s dream about

Anything

Herbst in Dub // Lunatics // Cosmic Ratzzz, joerxworx, Lofi Menta

Second song of our new album “ Rock yer socks off “ 

The moons burning the night awake 
Feet are stomping the floor might break 
Sweat drips down like a pouring rain 
Who cares about tomorrow’s pain 

Party's on lights ignited
 Let’s get started we’re united 
The drinks flowing hearts are sparking 
The music’s power keeps us barking 

Bassline pounding a heartbeat’s twin 
Spins and twirls the room’s a spin 
Shadows dancing on the wall 
Lose yourself forget it all 

Hands up high touch the ceiling 
No room here for any feeling 
Just the beat the thump the grind 
Leave your worries far behind 

Party's on lights ignited 
Let’s get started we’re united 
The drinks flowing hearts are sparking 
The music’s power keeps us barking 

Turn it up till the sun arrives
 Keep the spark alive in our eyes 
One more beat one more round 
Lose ourselves in the sound

Turn it up .mp3

(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

Silent Light

This is the first track with me and my dear son together.
He made this beautiful music and mix, I made lyrics and vocals
Thank you so much, EffAy (Fredrik),  you are awesome!

(Sounds best with ear phones)

I'm  floating on a wave...
Flying in the wind...
I'm dancing to the light...
Breathng the air of life....

Floating

Back To Us (Version 2)

Not here to chase charts—I speak what I live.
 No fake hype, no watered-down vibes.
One voice. One vision. No apologies. Michigan artist blending raw lyrics with dark beats.
