Once upon a time, there was war in the streets
Children were kidnapped, families had nothing to eat
Homeless slept in the cold while the rich flew to space
Corruption and power were played in our face

Verse 2

Once upon a time, fake news filled our screens
People felt broken, lost in their teens
There were school shootings, racism, and hate
And voices were silenced by leaders of state

Chorus

Good night, people of the world, close your eyes and go to sleep
It’s all over now, it was only a dream
Rest now, my friends, the world is at peace
It’s all over now, you are safe, you are free

Verse 3

Once upon a time, the oceans turned black
Oil spilled out with no turning back
Forests were burning, the air was not clean
And climate disasters tore through every scene

Verse 4

Once upon a time, our food made us sick
Farmers gave up while the profits grew thick
Big Pharma kept healing just out of reach
And greed was the gospel the leaders preached

Chorus

Good night, people of the world, close your eyes and go to sleep
It’s all over now, it was only a dream
Rest now, my friends, the world is at peace
It’s all over now, you are safe, you are free

Verse 5

Once upon a time, women fought for their rights
And people were hated for how their hearts shined
Indigenous voices were pushed to the side
And refugees wandered with nowhere to hide

Verse 6

Once upon a time, our secrets were sold
Tech stole our stories, our lives were controlled
Workers were used in sweatshops for pay
While billionaires raced to the stars far away

Chorus

Good night, people of the world, close your eyes and go to sleep
It’s all over now, it was only a dream
Rest now, my friends, the world is at peace
It’s all over now, you are safe, you are free

Verse 7

Once upon a time, children were harmed
Addiction was spreading, our souls disarmed
Superstars traded their truth for gold
And the world grew darker, bitter, and cold

Verse 8

Once upon a time, we all lived in fear
Of violence, of hatred, of what we might hear
But the story has ended, the night has turned bright
And tomorrow is safe in the morning light

Final Chorus (gentle, then swelling)

Good night, people of the world, close your eyes and go to sleep
It’s all over now, it was only a dream
Rest now, my friends, the world is at peace
It’s all over now, you are safe, you are free

Outro (soft, fading like a real lullaby)
It’s all over now…
You are safe, you are free…
Sleep now… sleep now…
The world is at peace.

Lullaby for the World

Childhood sweethearts separated by circumstance, moved across time and space but never forgetting their lost love. A reconnection across the years and the endless gulf of space. A calling and an answer through light years of distance. Come with Swampy and Phuse on a voyage across time and space. Lets watch the reunion at the event horizon. 
Your love shimmers like a waveform at the edge of nowhere. 

Shimmer

2024;  Lyrics: Y. Frömme; THX to "Lüttke".

Eleven month

This is a melody I composed over 30 years ago. Before i got into a relationship for the first time. Just missing someone to love.

Missing You

first will come the volcano
then will come the war
then will come the pestilence
and life will be no more

the life you knew
as you know it now
all the time that you
had to change it's  run out

it's done and dusted
mechanism is busted
those you trusted
have betrayed you
they played you

while you sat back 
and waited to believe 
there was something wrong

there was something wrong

because they told you
everything was fine
because they sold you
the most convenient line

you wanted to believe 
the easiest dream
the most convenient bullshit
so you could sleep 
so you could live with it
so you could keep

livin' the dream

livin' the dream
livin' the dream

so you could keep livin' the dream

now it's a nightmare 
now it's a nightmare 
livin' the dream
now it's a nightmare 

livin' the dream
livin' the dream

so you could keep livin' the dream 


the life you knew
as you know it now
all the time that you (had)
to change it's  run out

it's done and dusted
mechanism is busted
those you trusted
have betrayed you
they played you

while you sat back 
and waited to believe 
there was something wrong


so you could sleep 
so you could live with it
so you could keep
livin' the dream

livin' the dream
livin' the dream

so you could keep livin' the dream

now it's a nightmare 
now it's a nightmare 
livin' the dream
now it's a nightmare 

livin' the dream
livin' the dream

so you could keep livin' the dream



livin' the dream

Transporter

This text presents a voice from beyond, observing human life with calm distance and deep understanding. It sees people searching, breaking, rising, and carrying unspoken truths within their struggles and small moments. The message repeats that meaning is not found in answers or explanations, but in the act of living itself. The tone offers comfort without sentimentality—quiet, existential, and steady. Ultimately, the song declares that simply being alive is enough, and every breath is already a form of purpose. Lyrics: Y. Frömme. Original: 2009. Rmx. 2023. Thx to "Lüttke".

From Beyond

This electronic EDM track kicks off with punchy kicks, crisp percussion, and a sidechained synth bass underpinning expansive Lydian-mode pads, providing an unreal, triumphant vibe, Middle Eastern melodic motifs lace the restrained, groove-driven verses, Choruses erupt with dramatic, over-the-top hooks and layered synths, oozing tongue-in-cheek bravado, Bridges dial back to half-time, filtering beats and synths, adding tense, guitar-driven layers before cinematic rises thrust back into the main drop, The atmosphere is boldly theatrical, presenting irony through grand, confident EDM textures

The days we await and the days we let fall
are the beat of our hearts to the end of it all.

The days we create and the days that we burn
a lifetime to love and a lifetime to learn

Awaiting the day, awaiting the fall
At one with the world and hearing its call

Rise with the sun, your essence we breathe
Fall with the moon, in darkness we leave

Awaiting The Day

I love you now
