The media of the world seems to be caught up with adoration of characters in some kind of existential play - but we all are, and need to be kind to each other.

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

-1st verse-
Your sounds are immortal, you give us the flame
You signed all that music, with hard stuff you came
You’ve rolled my life, you rocked those nights away
Noise of strong beats, nice scent of leather
Vinyl records, the old days flavour
You rule the gigs, let you play
		
Chorus 1:
You know, you master how to please
You give us all the keys
Show us the way, let’s take a chance	
The legacy you’ve left	
Your songs so fully deft
You’re Rock and Roll Legends

You master how to please
You give us all the keys
Show us the way, set up the rules
The legacy you’ve left
Your songs so fully deft
You are hooked on rock you’ve got demons in your souls
 
-2 nd verse-
You came with your guitars, you raised us on rock
My heart’s a rolling stone that beats to the block
You’ve rolled my life, you rocked those nights away
Tattoos from hell, nice LPs covers
Stunning lightings, outstanding colours
You rule the gigs, let you play

I Will Find The Light (Feat. Sergi Yaro)

With Husky's Call, I embody the connection between the vast, frozen wilderness and the resilient husky, representing strength, freedom, and loyalty. Through my voice, I channel the husky's powerful journey across the icy plains, capturing the solitude and the fierce determination it holds. Each word is a tribute to their unwavering courage, as they lead us through blizzards and dark nights, guided by instinct and heart.

In this song, I reflect on their inner spirit,  the way they chase the auroras, dream of the sun even in the darkest polar nights, and embrace the challenges of their harsh environment. My voice carries the admiration I feel for these creatures, who are not just animals but symbols of survival and companionship in the wilderness. The husky’s howl is a call to the wild, a legacy that echoes through the snow, and I sing to celebrate their role as guardians of the frozen world.

Every verse, every note, mirrors the raw beauty of their life in the cold, and through the chorus, I express how they lead us, not just physically, but spiritually, beyond the limits of what we know, into the heart of the North.

Husky's Call

LYRIC
First cup of the day
There’s more on the way 
I call it brain fuel
Yes I got your text 
Read it and then next
I check my schedule 
Oh busy busy man that I am
I think that I can work you in
I was gonna swim a lap
Maybe take a nap
But it’s all tentative till then

First glass of the night 
Want both red and white
So I choose rose
Yes I saw that wink
It made me start to think
Do I have time to play
Well busy busy man I may be
I think that I can spare an hour
First let me grab a snack
Then I’ll be right back
After I hit the shower 
Then all I have to do is be with you

At this point in time
I’ve realized that I’m 
Way past overdue
Let’s lay down the facts 
To die and to pay tax
That’s all it comes down to
Yeah busy busy as life finds me
Honey can you read the room
The dog can’t walk itself
Cat knocked stuff off the shelf
I got to go get the broom 
Then all I have to do is be with you 
All I have to do is be where you are
Here and now
Not now and then
Anytime
Just say when

Oh busy busy I’m pretending 
Got paperwork stacked in piles
It’s the kind of mess
I should sweep off the desk
And I can’t concentrate
It all just has to wait
Since I caught one of your smiles
So all I have to do is be with you

All I Have To Do

The Story of Aidan is a soulful piece, created out of love for nature and the deep connections between life and death. Through this song, I wanted to give voice to a story that lies beyond time. The Story Of Aidan, a gardener who, even after closing his eyes for the last time, continued to live through the nature he loved. Aidan didn’t see death as an end, but as a transformation, his rebirth reflected in the flowers that sprouted from his body.

My voice weaves harmoniously with that of Sindre Halvorsen, and together we sought to bring this story of rebirth and the beauty that continues to thrive, even after physical disappearance. Every note and every verse carries a part of us, and the way our voices complement each other reflects both the fragility and the strength of nature, just as Aidan became part of the garden he once tended. With the warm sound of the cello and the gentle touch of the guitar, we wanted to create an experience that transports you to a place of peace and contemplation, where you can feel that life continues in other forms. I hope this song brings you the same inspiration and inner peace it has brought us.

[Verse 1]

Beyond the veil of mortal sight, 
There lies a garden bathed in light, 
Where life and death together weave 
A tapestry we can't conceive.

[Verse 2]

In this enchanted, sacred space, 
Departed souls find their embrace. 
They bloom anew as flowers fair, 
Their spirits dancing on the air.

[Verse 3]

Not mere plants with petals bright, 
But souls transformed in nature's rite. 
Each blossom holds a story old, 
In colors vibrant, tales unfold.

[Verse 4]

Once lived a man named Aidan, mild, 
A gardener with a heart so wild. 
He loved the soil, the seeds, the rain, 
In nature's songs he found refrain.

[Verse 5]

He spent his days in earth's embrace, 
Planting seeds with patient grace. 
He whispered to each leaf and stem 
Of starry nights and sunlit hems.

[Verse 6]

To him, each plant a friend sincere, 
Their silent voices he could hear. 
He felt their joy, their silent pleas, 
Their laughter carried on the breeze.

[Verse 7]

But time, the ever-flowing stream, 
Carried Aidan towards a dream. 
His body aged, his spirit soared, 
Until he passed through death's own door.

[Verse 8]

Yet when his final breath was gone, 
His soul felt drawn to earth's sweet song. 
He lingered where his heart belonged, 
Among the blooms he'd loved so long.

[Verse 9]

In that hidden garden grand, 
From his skull there sprang a strand. 
A flower unlike any seen, 
With petals soft and silver sheen.

[Verse 10]

Each petal was a memory, 
A fragment of his history. 
They whispered tales of love and life, 
Of joy and sorrow, peace and strife.

[Verse 11]

Travelers who wandered near 
Could sense a presence warm and clear. 
The flowers sang in hushed tones low 
Of secrets only souls could know.

[Verse 12]

They felt a peace they couldn't name, 
A solace free from fear or shame. 
Their burdens lightened, hearts set free, 
They left with newfound harmony.

[Verse 13]

For in this garden, death is not 
An end, but change within the plot. 
The skulls beneath are not the end, 
But where new life and beauty blend.

[Verse 14]

Aidan lives in every bloom, 
In sunlight's glow and night's soft gloom. 
His essence in the garden stays, 
A symphony of endless days.

[Verse 15]

So life and death together dance 
In this eternal, bright expanse. 
The flowers stand as living proof 
That souls transcend the mortal roof.

[Verse 16]

Let Aidan's story ever be 
A testament for all to see. 
Not just a tale to stir the heart, 
But life itself, of which we're part.

[Verse 17]

And so, the garden grows and thrives, 
A place where every soul arrives. 
To find that death is but a door 
To life renewed forevermore.

La Nuit Qui Nous D​é​vore

Amour Ténébreux

There are moments when you feel the need to return to your roots, to relive your memories and find yourself in them, as if rummaging through an old chest that still holds the scent of home. This piece is my journey into that old world, a world I carry with me even though I am far away. It’s my way of reconnecting with the earth and the calm hills of Ireland that call me back over and over whenever I feel lost.

When I began composing, I let myself be carried away by a deep longing, by a melancholy that seemed to come from the depths of my soul. In those moments, the music flowed on its own as if it had always been there just waiting to be set free. It’s a piece that feels like a bittersweet embrace, a comforting touch filled with memories and untold stories. It’s about places I haven’t forgotten and people who still live within me even if they’re no longer by my side.

As I play, I feel like I’m traveling down a familiar path, a path I’ve walked so many times in my thoughts. This journey is full of vivid images: quiet sunsets, soft light filtering through the mist, the sound of the wind whispering through the grass as if telling the stories of those who came before me. There is silence, but it’s a silence that sings. A place where I feel whole even though pieces of my heart have scattered over time and distance.

"Through Mist and Memory" is perhaps my most honest way of saying that sometimes you need to go home, even if only in your heart. It’s like opening a window to the past and allowing myself to feel everything without reservations, the joy, the pain, the nostalgia. And in all this mixture, I find my balance, that feeling that everything makes sense. I hope that as you listen, you feel a part of this warmth and peace, no matter how far you may be from the places you call home.

Everyday (Is Halloween🎃)

Lyrics:

Well, I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
'Cause to me every day is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

Well anytime, any place, anywhere that I go
All the people seem to stop and stare
They say, "Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?"
"You look so absurd, you look so obscene!"

Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me?
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
It's every day, hey

I've been running away!!
I've started to fight!!

LYRIC
Adding up the prices paid
For errors made unintended
I could sail a yacht to you
And get a burnt bridge mended
Would you wait on your side?

Oh you win some and you lose some
Have gorgeous days and gruesome
But win or lose the clock ticks on
Just stretch and yawn - and find your shoes, 
Go out to win or lose

The spinning world has what it takes
As it makes every circuit
You can bet on a new sunset
Then a dawn waiting to pursue it
But that’s about all

Oh you lose some and you win some
Make your own mistakes and then some
Sun’s gonna shine, rain’s gonna fall
summer lose steam, winter will thaw
It’s all hardly news in this world of 
Win or lose

Well the customer’s wrong, the boss a jerk
But back to work you’re headed
Save what’s left when you cover your debt
Don’t expect any credit 
That’s not how they play

Oh you win some and you lose some
But if that ‘you’ is a twosome
At least someone’s there, someone to share 
The good and bad, happy and sad 
That’s what I’d choose 
Win or lose

Win Or Lose

Get ready to dive into a sonic journey with “On the Floor,” a breakbeat track infused with electrifying rock guitar riffs. Created in collaboration with my talented friends Leo & Bross, this track is a fusion of energy and rhythm that will keep you moving.
Fun behind-the-scenes fact: Leo didn’t recognize the chords from their own song used in this track and can't understand that it is possible to make completely different song while using same chords as their song which means that now is completely different song 😲 As a great artist and man, I will anyway still honer their contributions to my song, which inspired me to make completely new track. 
 
 I am just joking but in every good joke is a little bit of truth 😉

LYRIC

The differences that seemed so great
That made me think I had to wait
To find a place where I belong
I thought were real - but I was wrong

The differences to which we cling
Convinced that they mean everything
They occupy a lonely heart
That wants to join but stands apart

The differences that you perceive
Are only something you believe
But at the end of life’s long day
The differences all fall away

A mirror saw me peering in
Wondering who that might have been
An anxious child with a lonely heart
That wants to share but how to start?

The difference is as years flew by
I finally stopped my asking why
And let the world just simply be
And the difference it made to me
Set me free

The differences that seemed so great
That made me think I had to wait
Yes, they’re still here and yet somehow
They don’t seem important now

The Differences

As a Soulcatcher, I cradle your empty hearts!

Faced with the knowledge 
No one knows that much 
Put your brain in sleep mode
Except your plans for lunch 
You need your nutrition 
As you contemplate 
Can you go home early 
When you came in late

Oh go on and try
Trying’s always worth a try 
Throw caution to the wind
But should it boomerang
Forget what I just sang  
Catch it on the fly, it’s worth a try

Cry to the heavens 
Curse the world to hell
But keep it to a whisper 
There’s no need to yell 
Everyone is busy
Most are on their phone
If you’re waiting on an answer
Better check your own

Still, go on and try
Trying’s always worth a try 
Gather your resources
Pack clean underwear
As if someone will care
Shout out “do or die!” 
It’s worth a try

Take your best shot
Give it all you got
And if you spot
A chance, then pounce
Serve up your last ounce
Of nerve then announce…Well I tried

So a boulder is waiting
Head down, bend your knees
From here it’s all uphill
And Sisyphus agrees
When you get to the top
Take a look around
While your back is turned
The boulder rolls back down

Sure, go on and try
Trying’s always worth a try 
This might be the puzzle
Where all the pieces fit
It’s no time to quit
Raise your hopes up high
Watch that frail bird fly
’Til an eagle drops from the sky
Oh my
Sigh
It was worth a try

Worth A Try

LYRIC
You don’t have to know why, why, why
You can just go and cry, cry cry
To your mother and sigh, sigh, sigh
Life isn’t fair

You (contributed) blood and sweat
Took out cash to place a safe bet
A pile of nothing is all you get
Life isn’t fair

The wheel of fortune rolls through
Across all your dreams
If circumstance controls you
Don’t cry at the loss of your dreams

We can offer a second chance
You just have to pay in advance
If your wallet’s in your other pants, well
Those are the breaks
We all make mistakes
I've no wisdom to spare
But this much I’ll share
Life isn’t fair

The winners all got lucky
You tell yourself that still
Well what you’re calling lucky
Might well be
The greatest skill

You can give one more try, try try
Tape some wings on and fly, fly fly
Then you fall from the sky sky sky
Well say hi for us
To Icarus 
Time to face facts
You chose wings made of wax
Why do you think they call it a dare?
Life isn’t fair

Life Isn't Fair

Mother would watch as I'd dive for the money they'd throw.
Down below.
Down so low.

From in the blue water, the people above move so slow.
They don't know.
What I know.

Give me a reason to stay.
Guess it's true that we all run away.
Though I can't see the future, I'm sure.
That I can never know what's in store.

Some coins for the coven, there's buns in the oven.
To pay.
We will see.
What will be.

Son, fetch me your Shoeshine, this town it is all mine. 
What's more.
I'm the law.
Above the law.

You fantasy swinger, you phoney gunslinger, who deals?
Out the deals.
Ride the wheels.

A priest or a bandit, a boxer or prophet, your breath.
Your last breath.
On to death.

Lord, give me a reason to stay.
There are times when we all run away.
Though I know there's no future, I'm sure.
That you can never know what's in store.

Oh mother, oh mother, the life they have taken from me.
I am free.
I'm the sea.

Oh, father, my father, now why hast thou forsaken me?
You can't see.
What I see.

Lord, give me a reason to stay.
Guess it's true that we all run away.
Though I can't see the future, I'm sure.
That I can never know what's in store.

"Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" - Music from Book 5: (Part 1) A New Beginning

Book 5 of "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" opens a new chapter: The horrors of war lie behind the protagonists, but the scars run deep. This music collection accompanies the Feyerabend family in the post-war era, a time of rebuilding, hope, and slow healing.

The music of Book 5 is an eclectic mix of styles and eras, reflecting the complexity of starting anew. German Schlager hits of the 1950s and nostalgic chansons evoke memories of the past and a rediscovered joy of life. Acoustic sounds, folk, and jazz symbolize the search for security and a new normal. Brit Pop, Swing, and Rock'n'Roll represent the dawn of a new era, while Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, and even a wedding march musically underscore the hope and the gradual blossoming of new dreams. But the shadows of the past are still present, captured in melancholic ballads, a sad piano piece, psychedelic folk, spiritual hip-hop, and powerful post-rock. Even punk rock finds its place, expressing the regained freedom and zest for life.

This music is a sonic tapestry of the post-war era, a tribute to the will to survive, the importance of family, and the strength of the human spirit. It captures the ambivalence of this epoch: The burden of memory and the simultaneous spirit of optimism, the grief for what was lost and the hope for a new beginning.

Music: A musical journey through time from the 50s to the present day with elements of German Schlager, Chanson, Folk, Jazz, Brit Pop, Swing, Rock'n'Roll, Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, Post-Rock, Punk Rock, and more.

"Hinter uns das Land" - Musik zu Buch 5 (Part 1): Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit

Buch 5 von "Hinter uns das Land" schlägt ein neues Kapitel auf: Die Schrecken des Krieges liegen hinter den Protagonisten, doch die Narben sind tief. Diese Musiksammlung begleitet die Familie Feyerabend in der Nachkriegszeit, einer Zeit des Wiederaufbaus, der Hoffnung und des langsamen Heilens.

Die Musik zu Buch 5 ist eine eklektische Mischung aus Stilen und Epochen, die die Vielschichtigkeit des Neubeginns widerspiegelt. Schlager der 50er Jahre und nostalgische Chansons erinnern an die Vergangenheit und die wiedergefundene Lebensfreude. Akustische Klänge, Folk und Jazz symbolisieren die Suche nach Geborgenheit und einer neuen Normalität. Brit Pop, Swing, und Rock'n'Roll stehen für den Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit, während Indie Pop, Chamber Pop und sogar ein Hochzeitsmarsch die Hoffnung und das langsame Erblühen neuer Träume musikalisch untermalen. Aber auch die Schatten der Vergangenheit sind noch präsent, eingefangen in melancholischen Balladen, einem traurigen Klavierstück, psychedelischem Folk, spirituellem Hip-Hop, und kraftvollem Post-Rock. Sogar Punkrock findet seinen Platz, um die wiedergewonnene Freiheit und Lebensfreude auszudrücken.

Diese Musik ist ein Klanggemälde der Nachkriegszeit, eine Hommage an den Überlebenswillen, den familiären Zusammenhalt und die Kraft der menschlichen Seele. Sie fängt die Ambivalenz dieser Epoche ein: Die Last der Erinnerung und die gleichzeitige Aufbruchstimmung, die Trauer um das Verlorene und die Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang.

Musik: Eine musikalische Zeitreise von den 50er Jahren bis in die Gegenwart mit Elementen von Schlager, Chanson, Folk, Jazz, Brit Pop, Swing, Rock'n'Roll, Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, Post-Rock, Punk Rock und mehr.

I accept I fell in love
A forced concept
Remote by shove
I accept I lost my filter
Your rose perplexed my heart
Oh bitter winter

I accept it's not the same
I got lost in mirrored frame
Such a short time
Burning flame
From here
I never had a claim

Uh Oh

I accept I lost control
I'm still lost in the light of you
To hold your hand...
Still never know
Despite distance and time
We go

I accept I'm host at home
Still rhyme reflect my thanks for your tone
A mirrored me
Whether I'm right or wrong
You enter my mind for every song

Uh Oh

I accept you give me will for a God
For an after life to hug your body
To plant a kiss on your spirit and soul
The one I miss and never met... Uh Oh

I accept I'm with the crazy crew
Crazy this love that I have felt for you
Who knows context
You give me heart of art
You inspire my daily new start

Uh Oh
