Love the retro sounds on this quality track.

Very cool piece, reminds me a bit of the sea and cake!

Gorgeous, lush wall of sound with expert use of dissonance!!!

this drew me in. the more I listened, the more interesting it became

...daring, in the sense of unconventional, songs. Your music is very interesting. 👏

Slipthought

(If you like this song, you may also like the rest of the album: https://soundcloud.com/daniel-merkwurdigliebe/sets/slipthought)

Finally, I resolve to let thoughts go by
Finally, I involve all the reasons why
Finally, I dissolve, start again, retry
Finally, I did solve the crime against my high

What did you do this time?

Swimmingly, I let out a great big sigh
Famously, it was me who would learn to cry
Hastily, everything found their reasons to fly
Easily, I perceived it all in my minds eye

What did you see this time?

Freakishly, I can see myself if I try
Seemingly, it could be nothing but a lie
Eagerly, I await the next day gone by
Finally, you can see how I revolve, goodbye

Finally (Goodbye)

As I recall
A while ago
I wasn't quite so old
Not quite as tall
Not quite as slow

I didn't know
For the life of me
I can't recall
What I was about to say

I never show
Anything
About me
Anything at all  

Why do we feed
all these seemingly conceded big ideas
What's the worst, that could happen
if we just let it happen
Why don't I see 
all my easily defeated inner fears
What's the worst, I could do
If I point my thoughts towards you

I didn't know
When I let my mind go
I needed it
I wasn't sure
For the life of me
What all of it really meant
I didn't know
I didn't know

Every time
I think of it
It slips away
I cannot catch my ghosts
Even though it's fine
The chase is fine

Why do we need
all these same old done and dusted plans and dreams
What's the worst, that could happen
if I just float on the streams

What's the worst, I could do
If I never think about you

Same Old

Not long ago, we still had our reasons
Not long ago, I saw the 4 seasons
So long ago, why are you asking
I should just go, stop asking questions

And why is it waiting
Does it want something from me
Then why does it not take it
I give every thing for free

Oh, so we may get lower
Oh, the deep end goes much lower than this
Oh, we shouldn't go much lower
Oh, there is a limit to everything

I dream of simple things
I dream of having dreams
I dream everything is as it seems
At least for today

Oh, wait another minute here
Oh, I think I finally see it clear
There is no complication
No need for  hesitation

Oh, So we may get higher
Oh, The sky goes much higher than this
Oh, we shouldn't get much higher
Oh, there is a limit to every thing

Oh, but I did get higher
Oh, I wanted to get a little higher
Oh, I set my mind on fire
Oh, guess there's a limit to every thing

This Day, Today

Nice try, but you, need to really focus
Because we are, not like you may know us
We fly, back and forth your mind we notice
Suddenly you realize what you could be

Oh, you know, we disintegrated, but that is
Still more than your ego inflated, just 'cause
You thought that you figured out what it
Meant to, be misunderstood and hated

Nice try, but you really need to notice
When you die, something's going to take your qualities
And you'll be, left with only fallacies, did you
Really think that your were somehow special

Nice try, but I don't really think you know it
By heart, or maybe you just don't show it
You asked me, if I somehow want to learn it
I said, fine, but you never motivated
Your, thought line, I did everything to break it
Now, we're fine, 'cause we never really take it

Nice Try

Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna be like
Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna find
Hai hai hai
Oh me oh my, you are very fine
My my my my, gonna make you mine
Hai hai hai

So much is thought about your attitude
So much is lost to your body
I I just wanna be, wanna be

So much is said about your gratitude
(High high high high as a kite tonight)
So much is known by everybody
(I know that nobody got it)
I hope we catch a wave too

Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna be like
Hai hai hai hai, what you're gonna find
Hai hai hai
Oh me oh my, you are very fine
My my my my, gonna make you mine
Hai hai hai

Jamais plus, (*Translation below*)

Plus jamais, je ne la reverrai
Plus jamais, je ne l'entendrai
oublier tout ce qui s'est passé
oublier que nous nous sommes aimé.
Plus jamais, je ne l'appellerai
plus jamais, je ne lui écrirai
effacer son visage de mes pensées
effacer sa voix de ces bandes usées.

Un peu cassé, je sortirai du fossé
vous retrouver, je sais que vous m'attendez
chère inconnue, je viendrai vous chercher
car jamais plus, je ne saurai me tromper.
Un jour de mai, nous nous sommes embrassés
Un jour, oui mais, depuis nous sommes enlacés
Mon ingénue, c'est bien de vous dont j'ai rêvé
car jamais plus je ne saurai me tromper.

Never again,

Never again will I see her again
Never again will I hear her
forget everything that happened
forget that we loved each other.
Never again will I call her
never again will I write to her
erase her face from my thoughts
erase her voice from these worn tapes.

Kinda broke, I'll get out the ditch
find you, I know you are waiting for me
dear stranger, I will come and get you
because never again will I be able to be wrong.
One day in May we kissed
One day, yes but, since we are intertwined
My ingenue, it's really you I dreamed of
because never again will I be able to be wrong.

There’s something in the words you say
That makes me want to be with you
There’s something in the way that you love
That makes me want to see it through

When you are sinking
You’re not thinking
(Oh, yay, Oh, yay, Oh, yay, Oh, Oh yay yay x2)

When something isn’t right
(something, isn’t wrong)
When something isn’t wrong
When it’s taking you over
(taking you over)
You’ve got to be smart
(got to be smart)
You’ve got to be bright 
(got to be bright)
(Or you’ll live your lie)
When you are sinking
You’re not thinking

Hustle up now,
Carry your eyes
Don’t walk, run
Something wicked this way comes

There’s something in the words you say
That makes me want to be with you
There’s something in the way that you love
That makes me want to see it through

When you are sinking
You’re not thinking
When you are sinking
You’re not thinking

Never change your mind
Never change your mind
Always change your mind
Always change your mind
Never change your mind
Never change your mind
You should always change your mind
Always change your mind
Always change your mind

Words You Say (with Mark Duffield)

This is a song i wrote for my next album[Tales of generation x]
it is about class division how the rich and the poor have to share the same citys and the same planet  how we conquer and divide.
Its also a song about our fears and anxietys about love and how we interact with other humans.
We make our own desires so mind the gaps of history us wolfs we hunt alone
keep calm and carry on -jim sept 2022

This is a cover song that Rekha and I did.  It's a Carpenters track and we held on to most of the original arrangement but took some creative license otherwise 

For me the Carpenters are like John Denver or the 80's hair metal scene - something I enjoy but don't tell just a whole lot of people about.   Doing this one was Rekha's idea and I think she nailed it.   This track is brought to life by her killer performance.  

There's a guitar intro to this thing here.

Another note - I personally want to dedicate this track to my good friend and synth-master Steve Fullyard (@steve-fullyard) who married his lovely bride K very recently. I wish them both all the happiness they can handle.

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

We've Only Just Begun - w/ Rekha

Lyrics:
In the moisty heat of the night I measure the viscosity of time by applying group theory to the ice cubes in my glass of blood.
I want to sooth my aching synapses in the liquid sun of chaotic melodies and bath my eyes in the clouds of muffled harmonies. 
The marbled coalescence of the iridescent canopies drips with vibrating tentacles of abstruse sensations which insinuate themselves into the cortex of our vibratory emotions.
The mystical tentacles of devotion slither around my wrists and ankles war and delicately vibrating invading my thoughts with their glassy intuition.
I can summon ancient idols from the gulfs of time and abyssal tombs. And wrap my naked body in the moist lust of their gaze. I can invoke the runes of power and abstraction carved in the soapy stone of a lost asteroid. 
Last words of vanishing gods reverberate in the echoes of their glory while the whips of remorse tear up the petrified flesh of their deceived heralds.
The winged demons and the ragged angels will rejoice and kiss my aethereal feet. 
The tides will cover the sand of our imagination, green and everlasting and salty and cold.

Lyrics
------

Ne t'approche pas trop près de moi
(les dramas c'est pas pour moi)
Je n'aime pas
Je n'aime pas être entourée
par tous ces gens bien intentionnés
qui cherchent à me corriger
me conformer à leurs normes
modifier ma vraie forme
(j'essaie de m'échapper, mais je me fais toujours rattrapper)
les vieux réflexes me laissent perplexe

La vérité c'est que j'aime être entourée
par des gens apaisés
sans combats de guerriers
non je peux plus digérer (gérer)
cette atmosphère de guerre
constante
idiote compétition
envahissante
incessante et persistante
Ne t'approche pas de moi
pour initier un combat
non je ne veux pas
que mon temps serve à ça
fatiguée de lutter
il y'en a si peu
il est si précieux
dépitée de gaspiller

rien ne sert de faire un drame
inutile est ce vacarme
l'expérience est faite
même si c'est une défaite
rien ne sert d'abimer le passé
inutile de vouloir l'effacer
juste avancer

------------------------

Don't get too close to me
(dramas are not for me)
I don't like
I don't like being surrounded
by all these well-meaning people
who try to correct me
to conform to their standards
change my true form
(I try to escape, but I always get caught)
the old reflexes leave me confused

The truth is that I like to be surrounded
by peaceful people
without warrior fights
no I can't digest (manage)
this atmosphere of war
constant
silly competition
invasive
incessant and persistent
Do not approach me
to initiate a fight
no I don't want
my time to be used for that
tired of fighting
there's so little of it
it is so precious
sorry to be wasteful

there's no point in making a mess
it's useless to make a fuss
the experiment is done
even if it is a defeat
there is no point in damaging the past
no point in trying to erase it
just move on

Ne t'approche pas

Ne T'approche Pas (Kaerian & Laar)

Truly an honor once again to feature Jorg Joerxworx on track.  He always seem to have the missing piece to the puzzle.  Recently sent him a request asking him to do his thing on this track, and man did he deliver. Jorg is a very talented musician who plays a variety of instruments, including the Tenor sax, which I was fortunate enough to have him grace this track with. Thank you Jorg!

i'm dreaming about her,
i'm holding my breath,
i know that we're both hurt,
maybe it's for the best,

one day maybe we'll try,
to forgive not forget,
until then we'll both lie,
alone in regrets,

because you, were my everything,
and i'd, give almost anything,
to have you, by my side,

i hope you know i'm still,
deeply, falling in love,
i try to move on with the drugs,
i try to move on from us,

i hope you know i'm still,
deeply, falling in love,
i try to move on with the drugs,
i try to move on from us,

because you, were my everything,
and i'd, give almost anything,
to have you, by my side,

because you, were my everything,
(i hope you know i'm still,)
and i'd, give almost anything,
(deeply, falling in love,)
to have you, by my side,
(i try to move on with the drugs,
i try to move on from us.)

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…
