Awesome track! Perfect jazz feel, that sax really shines

In the family of water lilies, Nelumbo nucifera or the lotus flower is also known as the sacred lotus because it symbolizes qualities such as purity, rebirth, enlightenment, longevity, and resiliency. In muddy swamplands the lotus has thrived for more than a thousand years, producing beauty in the midst of muck. 

I hope you enjoy my lotus-inspired tribute of a powerful symbol of overcoming adversity and relentless creativity.

Set at a hypnotic 83 bpm, I’ve included a mix of sounds — a little synthpop, jazz, R&B, Latin, neoclassical, and definitely chill. 

P.S. One of the ancient Sanskrit names for Lotus 🪷 is Kamala. ❤️😀✌️

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)

In den Straßen dieser Zeit
Weht ein Wind der Dunkelheit
(weht so leise, weht so kalt)
Demokratie verblasst so schnell
Wie ein Bild, das schnell zerfällt
(schwindet leise, schwindet bald)

November 2024
Die Kälte kriecht durch Mark und Bein
Fast alles war klar und eindeutig
Wird nun zu grauem Dämmerschein

Freiheit stirbt mit leisem Klang
(stirbt so leise)
Nicht mit Donnerhall und Zwang
(stirbt so sacht)
Was wir liebten jahrelang
Schwindet in der Novembernacht
(in der kalten Novembernacht)

Neue Worte, alte Macht
"Modernisierung" über Nacht
(Leere Masken, falscher Schein)
Hüllen unsre Wahrheit ein

Der Ozean vergisst seinen Tanz
(Die Wissenschaft schreit stumm)
Wir tauschen unsrer Freiheit Glanz
Für falsche Ordnung um

Freiheit stirbt mit leisem Klang
(stirbt so leise)
Nicht mit Donnerhall und Zwang
(stirbt so sacht)
Was wir liebten jahrelang
Schwindet in der Novembernacht
(in der kalten Novembernacht)

Und die letzte freie Stimme
(Flüstert in der Dunkelheit)
Von Demokratie und Freiheit
Die wir einst besaßen

Die wir schweigend sterben ließen

Die wir schweigend sterben ließen!

English translation:
In the streets of this time
A wind of darkness is blowing
(blowing so softly, blowing so cold)
Democracy fades so quickly
Like a picture that quickly decays
(fading away quietly, fading away soon)

November 2024
The cold creeps through your bones
Almost everything was clear and unambiguous
Now it becomes a gray haze

Freedom dies with a soft sound
(dies so softly)
Not with thunder and force
(dies so gently)
What we loved for years
Fades in the November night
(in the cold November night)

New words, old power
“Modernization” overnight
(Empty masks, false appearances)
Shroud our truth

The ocean forgets its dance
(Science cries out silently)
We exchange our freedom's shine
For a false order

Freedom dies with a soft sound
(dies so softly)
Not with thunder and force
(dies so gently)
What we loved for years
Fades in the November night
(in the cold November night)

And the last free voice
(whispers in the darkness)
Of democracy and freedom
We once possessed

We silently let die

We silently let die!

The Return

I've found this interesting instrumental/dub on the soundcloudpage of Llanpsych:

... and i began to sing..
Lyrics: Dub double and twice (collab Llanpsych)  

Don’t know what she’s thinking
Don't know what she’s hiding
She don’t talk a lot
She looks really hot

She is so mysterious 
That’s what you like, i guess 
Don’t wanna fall in love,
To late you are a mess

She is very clever
She don’t tell her secrets 
Her recipe for succes
She wants more, don’t settle for any less

Anything she wants 
She wants it  double and twice

dub double and twice (collab Llanpsych)

Picnic in the Park  - Watch my video short! https://youtu.be/Z90D8qLSHjY?si=9lbkSdG-aeu_zr4H

A glorious day 
For a Picnic in the Park
Birds are chirping, 
Swans are swimming
Children laughing, 
The sun is grinning.
On a blanket of grass, 
We lay 
Side by side, 
Savoring each taste
Of food, drink, 
A kiss, 
On this lovely day.
