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

ON PARLE DE NOUS

ON PARLE DE NOUS (Chanson Française)

STANDING ALL ALONE - Mar 2014 / Remixed Mar 2023

The days that go by, I sometimes wonder why,
I didn't take you, and be with you.
You knew my imperfections, all on the wall for examination.
Just to be with you...

So many times I think of that day,
where hurtin's in your eyes, and I can't shake it away.
Somehow I've got to move on, 
I've got to prove to myself, that you're not the only one.

and here I stand all alone, once again.  Once again.
and here I stand all alone, once again...
Firing up the engines, to head out and try again.

I remember that side-long look you'd give me, 
and I'd do whatever I could...
just to be with you...
Endless nights, and candle light,
we're just kissing, being together, and now...

Here I stand all alone, once again.  Once again. 
Here I stand all alone, once again.  
Can you hear me?  I want you to hear me.

There will be a day, after all this misery, 
that I can climb back up, 
and not have to think of you.  
That new girl, she'll take my arm,
and we'll walk the streets; her charm,
I that think this will more than do.

But until then...

Here I stand all alone, once again.  Once again.
Here I stand all alone, once again...

Standing All Alone

A song inspired by the last days of my father. It is dedicated to him.

At the end of the dream

Seagull magically touches with symphonic splendor Peter's erudite songwriting, singing, and playing, but still remains deeply personal as Father Time is personified.
Lyrics:
Did you commence, at once, or have you always ever been
And will your pounding heartbeat ever cease?
Are you a sense, or force, or something other in between?
Simply ticking down to each and every last release?
Is your pulse rate constant in this exponential universe?
Or does my biology speed the tempo of your rhyme?
Why are the lifespans of your subjects so potentially diverse?
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

Is your mission merely measure, or are you yourself the cause
Of evolution and decay of matter's elementary doom?
Are you the seemly pressure on the future's pending pause
Ethereally benign or other natural force subsume?
Can you shift like rays in prisms, temporal rainbows to behold
Are you the cause of age or do you simply count it's lines
Is your rounded face imprisoned in a cell numbered twelvefold
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

At terminal expansion of our present universe
For its destined re-contraction to begin
Will your hands slow to a halt then slip into reverse
Or count us down in forward time back to our origin?
Will the ultimate compaction trigger seasonal adjust
Predicate upon your base the final great rewind?
Then will you recommence or revert back to gently ticking dust?
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

Old Father Time (Peter, Seagull, Dan-t)

Not far from Jena, in Thuringia, there is small village hidden in the forest, a valley away from through roads. It’s called Tautenburg, this year it celebrates its 800 th anniversary.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) spent his summer retreat there in 1882, walking, writing on „Die fröhliche Wissenschaft“ (translated as "The Gay Science",  „The Joyful Wisdom“ or „The Joyous Science“).
And awaiting the arrival of Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937), a widely travelled Russian writer, narrator, essayist and psychoanalyst.
 
The refrain quotes a short poem he wrote to her. (translation mainly by machine)

The picture shows: View of church tower and castle spire of Tautenburg.

A Big Thank You to Zeralda for playing these wonderful keys and rhythm section.

Waiting For Lou

1
The old trees
Not so many as there used to be
The castle spire
The church tower
The old vicarage
A hand on the wrist
Distant chainsaws shriek
Did not always exist
Is that something that I missed ?

ref
„No longer back ? 
And not up there ?
No path 
For the chamois either ?
So I wait here 
And hold fast, 
What eyes and hands 
Let me grasp
Five feet of earth, 
Dawn
And below me - 
World, man and death“

Now I sit here 
Now I sit here…

Is there another path ?
Is there another path ?

2
The view axis
The early morning dew
The birds singing
The strained breath
And the rest on the bench
The bustling activities
The longings
The desires
Unspoken (2)

„No longer back ? 
And not up there ?
No path 
For the chamois either ?
So I wait here 
And hold fast, 
What eyes and hands 
Let me grasp
Five feet of earth, 
Dawn
And below me - 
World, man and death“

Now I sit here 
Waiting for Lou to appear (2)

Is there another track ?
Will Lou be coming back ?
