Lenny 

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love
That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Let it come, let it go
Being free is the only way to be
That means a lot for this little puppy
It doesn’t think
It feels an act for free

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy
No, no, no

Is that a ghost?
Is that a shadow?
Is that thing lost?
Is it my fellow?
It is not love
It’s just me 
Or you 
In the dark!

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away
That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves…

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy

Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not
Lenny
Bambambambambam…
Lenny lives on Mars

LENNY

Instrumental track. The drum is a ghatam, which is a clay pot drum from southern India that I have been playing for some time. Then there is a santoor, which is a  hammered dulcimer, also from India (that is sampled, I don't have a santoor although I would love to), acoustic guitar for some rhythm and arrangements, and electric guitar for the leads (a Stratocaster). Then of course there is the bass, and some synth.

The cover art is by my friend Mar Ambroj, a great artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina:

Escape Route

Most Uncertain Uncertainty

Lack of swing

The car seat is uncomfortable  at dawn
I lean back while I´m picking up my phone
I look at some old pictures from before

A little girl who had a wish, a dream
she used to play with trolls and loved to sing
Now she isn´t doing anything
Lack of energy and lack of swing

Trouble, I´m in trouble
I need a change before
I´m falling into deep
Struggle, it is a struggle
I need a break, or else
I´m drowning underneath

A sad smile in the mirror 
before I go
My work is heavy, salary is low
I belong somewhere else 
I have to go
Lack of energy and lack of hope

Trouble, I´m in trouble
I need a change before
I´m falling into deep
Struggle, it is a struggle
I need a break, or else
I´m drowning underneath

Lack Of Swing

The Title of the song can be understood in 2 ways:
1. a reflection of the current Corona crisis we are in
2. the feeling I still have since I play this 8 string beast, that I bought myself in January 2020. Always used to be at home on 6 strings, this one is really a challenge, which I am getting only slowly under control.
 Never in my life I had to search on a guitar for the deep e-string :-)

Surfing On A Disastrous Wave

thanks for listening to my little ditty. 
lyrics.
know my friends we shall live on
if anything can take us out
it won’t be a 
little bug.
it will be us, by our own hands
and those who chose to make each day 
a little less
hard to live. 
all lost souls
rest as one. 
lets have a moment together
we might never
get again.

a moment together

Vergeblich (ft. Doc Fritz from OESJ) - Rock Flexible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
One month ago I published my original version of this song: https://soundcloud.com/rock-flexible/vergeblich-rock-flexible
The other day Peter from OESJ aka Doc Fritz offered me to take an try on an alternative drum version since he felt my original programmed EZDrummer patterns were hiding some of the beauty of the instrumentation and vocals. So he came up with this wonderful one-take. The song is not a different song, but it now sounds really slowed down, which perfectly fits the current time we are living in! All my thanks are to Doc Fritz for this beautiful version! 
Stay safe, stay healthy!

Lyrics by RF:

Ein freundliches Wort
Du bist nicht alleine - denkst Du.
Sie schreibt heute länger als sonst - mit Dir
‚Hörst‘ Ihr so gerne zu!

Pausen werden länger
Warten kommt Dir ewig vor.
Schreibt Sie einem andern,
Obwohl Sie Dir eben noch ‚Treue‘ schwor?

——
Wie immer verkommt Dein Werben zur Farce und
Wie immer macht Sie sich nur wieder nen Spaß draus!
Sag mal leidest Du gerne,
Wie oft denn nun noch?
Lass Sie geh’n, Lass Sie steh’n, denn allein -
Allein bleibst Du doch!
——

Zwischen Trauer und Wut
Zwischen Hoffnung und Selbstmitleid - hängst Du
Wartest auf ein Zeichen von Ihr - 
Auf ein Bild, auf ein Wort - dann ist alles wieder gut!?

Du würdest gern
den Frust schnell vergessen, verdrängen, 
nur das Gute bewahren, 
Doch verfahr’n ist die Lage, hör’ mit zu was ich sage
Denn ich weiß wovon ich red’.

——
Wie immer verkommt Dein Werben zur Farce und
Wie immer macht Sie sich nur wieder nen Spaß draus!
Sag mal leidest Du gerne,
Wie oft denn nun noch?
Lass Sie geh’n, Lass Sie steh’n, denn allein -
Allein bleibst Du doch!
——

Zwischen Trauer und Wut
Zwischen Hoffnung und Selbstmitleid
Wartest auf ein Zeichen von Ihr - 
Auf ein Bild, auf ein Wort

Doch Pausen werden länger
Warten kommt Dir ewig vor.
Schreibt Sie einem andern,
Obwohl Sie Dir eben noch ‚Treue‘ schwor?
Obwohl Sie eben noch ‚Treue‘ schwor!

Scissors (ft. Oliver)

It's Stones Covers Tuesday! When we were 20, my friend Micha and I had been spending dozens of hours in his small red car driving from gig to gig. The car had a tape deck, and the only tape we had was some Rolling Stones concert bootleg. Since then, this song has always been one of my favorites, and my take on it is to have added a bit more junkie feel.
