SEI MUTIG! (Der Text) 
Durchgezechte Nacht mit verbogenen Gedanken.
Vernebelte Sicht durch Alkohol und Nikotin.
Aufgetaucht in einer Frühstückskneipe.
Irgendwo im Nirgendwo von Berlin.

Ich fühlte mich einsam und auch mies.
Nicht die geringste Spur von Liebe.
Was läuft hier nur falsch?

Fader Kaffee mit bitterem Geschmack.
Meine Blicke leer aber immer suchend.

Schräg gegenüber saß ein Mädchen.
Heller Teint und schwarzes Haar.
Ihr Blick traf mein Herz.
 
Was ist jetzt nur los?
Ist sie das große Los?
Im Hals `nen fetten Kloß!
Wie schaffe ich das bloß? 

Irritiert schaute ich zu Boden.
Ich wünschte sie käme rüber zu mir!
Kurz darauf blickte ich wieder auf - 
und sie stand ganz nah bei mir.

Und sie sagte:
komm sei mutig!
Zieh mich ganz fest an dich!
Hey, sei nicht so feige!
Glaube an dich und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Ich dachte:
komm sei mutig!
Ich zieh` sie ganz fest an mich!
Ey, ich bin nicht feige!
Ich glaube an sie und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier! 
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Sei mutig!

These are songs that I developed in a very lo-fi fashion to show what they sound like in my head. They could still go in many different directions - more acoustic, more produced - I'm open to ideas. But what you're hearing here are my unabashed concepts for these little tunes. 
ENJOY- and thanks for connecting with me & my music!

Night City

"Solid Ground" 

Music, vocals, and lyrics by me:
--------------------------------------------------
One day maybe you’ll understand
What it really means to be a stranger
A stranger in a land you were born in
And have the strength to stand for everyone 

To stand up for yourself 
To never be afraid
To face this bitter crowd 
To be on solid ground

One day maybe you’ll realize
That everytime you lie you’ll be a stranger
A stranger to the one who really needs you
A stranger to the ones on solid ground 

Stand up for yourself 
Don't be afraid of everyone
Only thing that matters is what you really are 
And if you have the strength to stay on solid ground… 

Doesn't matter what they say 
Only thing that matters is what you are 
Doesn't matter what they do 
Only thing that matters is who you are

Solid Ground

My most recent song (3rd of 3) written mid to late January. I had the title with a different tune, but it didn't fit. This is not a song as such, more the audio description of a feeling.  Recorded 'live' at home February 2021 again during lockdown.  Words & Music by Dave Renegade (c) Deadly Romantic Music 2021.

I dedicate this to the memory of Mark Keds. Some of the words were written after an conversation with Jerome following Mark's passing.
