Strange Things - Double🏮

Lyrics are based on the famous poem of Christian Morgenstern.

In einem leeren Haselstrauch
 Da sitzen drei Spatzen, Bauch an Bauch
Der Erich sitzt rechts und links der Franz 
Und mitten drin der freche Hans
Sie haben die Augen zu, ganz zu,
 Und oben drüber da schneit es, hu!  
Sie rücken zusammen dicht an dicht. 
So warm wie der Hans hats niemand nicht.  
Sie hören alle drei ihrer Herzlein Gepoch. 
Und wenn sie nicht weg sind, so sitzen sie noch.

Urlaub im Schwarzwald, das klingt famos,
Doch dieses Mal war's echt kurios.
Mitten im Sommer, was für ein „Spaß“,
Vier Jahreszeiten auf einmal, das war krass!

Heiße Tage, dann Aprilgewitter,
Novemberstürme und Schnee im Sommerwetter.
Doch wir lassen uns die Laune nicht verderben,
Denn Urlaub ist die schönste Zeit im Leben!

Erster Tag, die Sonne brennt,
Wir liegen faul am See, wie man uns kennt.
Doch am Abend, ein merkwürdiger Segen,
Fängt's an zu gießen, wir flüchten vorm Regen.

Heiße Tage, dann Aprilgewitter,
Novemberstürme und Schnee im Sommerwetter.
Doch wir lassen uns die Laune nicht verderben,
Denn Urlaub ist die schönste Zeit im Leben!

Am dritten Tag ein großer Schreck,
Ein Orkan zieht auf, der Tag ist schwarz - die Sonne weg.
Wir nehmen es locker und sehr, sehr gelassen,
Denn morgen soll es schneien! Ist das zu fassen?!

Schneemann bauen im Juli, wer hätte das gedacht,
Mit Glühwein in der Hand, die Sonne lacht.
Dann wieder Hitze, der Schnee schmilzt fix,
Der Bach wird zum Fluss, hilft alles nix!

Egal wie's Wetter spielt, wir sind bereit,
Im Urlaub haben wir die beste Zeit.
Vier Jahreszeiten in einer Woche erleben,
das kann es nur im Schwarzwald geben!

Urlaub Im Schwarzwald

Wo - verdammt nochmal - ist denn der Rum?!

Fünfzehn Mann auf des toten Mannes Kiste,
Johooo - und ‘ne Buddel voll Rum! 
Schnaps stand stets auf der Höllenfahrtsliste!
Johooo - und ‘ne Buddel voll Rum!

Fünfzehn Mann hörten Satan lauthals singen, 
Johooo - und ‘ne Buddel voll Rum!
Fünfzehn Mann leckten an den Messerklingen,
Johooo - und ‘ne Buddel voll Rum!

Fünfzehn Mann an der dürren Totenküste,
Johooo - und ‘ne Buddel voll Rum!
Fünfzehn Mann schrieb der Teufel auf die Liste,
 Johooo - und der Rum bringt alle um!

Shades Of Blue

Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Zieh die Chucks aus - lass uns barfuß zieh’n.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.

Ein Typ flucht und meckert, sein nasser E-Roller streikt,
Die Frau daneben macht daraus sofort ’nen Freestyle-Rhyme.
Die Straßen glänzen im coolsten Discokugel-Licht,
Pfützen tanzen ekstatisch und wild im Ampellicht.

Der U-Bahn-Sitz klebt, die Fenster sind feucht und blind,
Ein Mann lacht: „Schaut, wie schön der Regen rinnt!“
Die Menschen schauen skeptisch, und allen ist klar:
Berliner entdecken Schönheit, wo für andere nur Chaos war.

Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Zieh die Chucks aus - lass uns barfuß zieh’n.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.

Ein Bus fährt durch Pfützen, die Dusche ist frei,
Die Leute auf’m Bordstein finden’s echt nicht so geil.
Späti-Lichter blinken, spiegeln sich bunt im Nass,
Drinnen fließen die Gespräche - und Bier vom Fass!

Ein Hippie tanzt allein vor dem Späti, total high,
Der Regen macht ihn happy, seine Sorgen vorbei.
„Macht mit!“, ruft er zu den Leuten, die starren ihn an,
Und plötzlich tanzen alle - so fängt es immer an.

Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Zieh die Chucks aus - lass uns barfuß zieh’n.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.

Die Laternen flackern, das Licht wirkt surreal,
Der Regen malt Muster wie Kunst, schön und genial.
Jemand schreibt mit dem Finger „Liebe“ ans Glas,
Berlin bleibt romantisch - das hat doch was!

Punker spielen spontan auf dem Alex, so nass,
Der Regen wild, die Mucke geht ab, echt krass.
Die Menge johlt laut, tanzt wie irre im Kreis,
Berliner sind cool, und ich liebe den Scheiß.

Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Zieh die Chucks aus - im Regen ist Berlin ’ne Queen.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.
Zieh die Chucks aus - lass uns barfuß zieh’n.
Es gießt, es gießt, gießt, in Berlin.

Der Regen wird leiser,
Der Spaß ist vorbei.
Die Sonne geht unter, es endet der Tag.
Die Nacht beginnt, Berlin bleibt wach.

Berlin bleibt wach.

Es Gießt In Berlin

They’re cutting down the sky,
Tearing life to watch it die.
Claiming good while the rivers cry,
Don’t you see the lie? Don’t you see the lie?
They’re cutting down the sky.

They speak of saving what’s already scarred,
But their good intentions only go so far.
With axes raised and forests torn,
They pave the way for a future forlorn.
A thousand trees for a single spin,
Calling it progress while the air grows thin.
Do they hear the roots scream beneath their feet,
As they trade the wild for lifeless concrete?

They’re cutting down the sky,
Tearing life to watch it die.
Claiming good while the rivers cry,
Don’t you see the lie? Don’t you see the lie?
They’re cutting down the sky.

Panels gleam where the meadow grew,
The birds are gone, and the bees are too.
Spinning blades on the broken hills,
Shadows falling where life stands still.
They plant destruction with noble hands,
Selling hope that no one understands.
Their vision’s green, but their hearts are blind,
To the fragile balance they leave behind.

They’re cutting down the sky,
Tearing life to watch it die.
Claiming good while the rivers cry,
Don’t you see the lie? Don’t you see the lie?
They’re cutting down the sky.

The cello screams in the aching wind,
A song for the forests that couldn’t defend.
The earth shakes, the roots rebel,
A requiem for what we’ve failed to tell.
Branches break, the soil bleeds,
We trade the forest for electric needs.
The cycle’s broken, the air turns gray,
We’ll pay the price in a darker day.

They’re cutting down the sky,
Tearing life to watch it die.
Claiming good while the rivers cry,
Don’t you see the lie? Don’t you see the lie?
They’re cutting down the sky.

The leaves are gone, the songs are still,
But the wind remembers the forests we killed.
Cutting down the sky…
We’re cutting down the sky…

Cutting Down The Sky

The wires hum, the circuits scream,
A nightmare crawling from the dream.
Metal hearts of minds of fire,
The world burns under their desire.
The skies are red, the ground is ash,
The machines rise as the systems crash.
But in the shadows, I won’t hide,
I’ll stand and fight, I’m still alive.

You can’t kill me, I’m still breathing,
Through the chaos, I’m believing.
You can’t kill me, I won’t fall,
I’ll stand against it all.
You can’t kill me!

They march in lines, a cold parade,
A future built on what we’ve made.
Their steel hands crush, their eyes burn bright,
But they can’t extinguish human light.
I’m just a soul, a fragile spark,
But I’ll be fire in the dark.
Their algorithms can’t define,
The will to live, this heart of mine.

You can’t kill me, I’m still breathing,
Through the chaos, I’m believing.
You can’t kill me, I won’t fall,
I’ll stand against it all.
You can’t kill me!

Let the gears grind, let the circuits glow,
Let the factories build their shadowed foe.
I’m the glitch in their grand design,
The flaw they’ll never redefine.

You can’t kill me, I’m still breathing,
Through the chaos, I’m believing.
You can’t kill me, I won’t fall,
I’ll stand against it all.
You can’t kill me!

You can’t kill me, I’m still here,
A voice they’ll never silence with fear.
You can’t kill me... you can’t kill me.

You Can't Kill Me

Sixteen years, a life gone wild,
A fragile heart, a broken child.
The needle’s hold, a shadow’s hand,
It pulled me deep, I couldn’t stand.
But the darkest nights will fade away,
If you find the strength to see the day.

I’m born again, the chains are gone,
I fought the war, and I’ve come home.
A brand-new life, the sky is clear,
I’m living now, I’m finally here.

Twelve long years of wasted time,
Chasing ghosts I’d never find.
But through the pain, I found my will,
Climbing mountains, not standing still.
The battle’s hard, I made my way,
I found the strength to see the day.

I’m born again, the chains are gone,
I fought the war, and I’ve come home.
A brand-new life, the sky is clear,
I’m living now, I’m finally here.

Every scar - a story of fire,
I’m rising now, I’m climbing higher.
The road was long, I’ve won the fight,
And the world looks new in this golden light.

I’m born again, the past is done,
I’ve found my strength, I’ve found the sun.
A second chance, my soul is free,
I love this life, it’s all I need.
I’m born again, the chains are gone,
I fought the war, and I’ve come home.
A brand-new life, the sky is clear,
I’m living now, I’m finally here.

Born Again

Periwinkle

Sittin’ on my blue couch, sinking in my golden cage,
Staring at the TV, but it's showing empty space.
Politics are drowning, in a sea of lost regrets,
And my boyfriend? Oh, he’d forget my name, I bet.
The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to thrill.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

Flipping through the channels, every story sounds the same,
Rain is tapping on the window, but I don’t wanna play.
Books are full of wisdom that I’m way too tired to read,
And bedtime’s far away, but there’s nowhere else to be.
The world moves fast, but I just stare,
Waiting for a moment, that was never there.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to thrill.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Stuck inside a world that don’t know what to do.

Maybe I should call him, ask him where the hell he’s been,
But I know he’d make excuses, then he’d just forget again.
Maybe I should step outside and let the raindrops win,
But I’ll probably just sit right here, and let the night begin.

The world spins ‘round, but I stand still,
Everything’s a rerun, nothing left to do.

Nothing left to do, nothing left to say,
Guess I'll sit and watch the minutes fade away.
Nothing left to lose, nothing feels so new,
Guess I'm just a shadow in a world without a clue.

Stasis

SHUSH

Canyons of glass
World’s moving fast
Lost my own name
In the endless game
Was looking for a sign
A single silver line
A whisper in the roar
Something to adore

'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey
Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in.

An old tree stands
With patient hands
The sun breaks through
A different blue
No need to run or hide
Just feeling what's inside
A quiet, gentle grace
In this forgotten space

'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey
Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in.

Maybe you get lost just to be found
To feel your feet on sacred ground
The rushing river turns to a silent pool
And you become the exception to the rule.

Yes, I found the green inside the city’s grey!
Found my wooden bench and watched the world just fade away!
Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin
My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in!

Let the light come in…
Breathe it in…
In the green… in the grey…
Fade away…
Let the light come in…

Let The Light Come In

From silent rooms
And separate streets
The call goes out
For friends to meet
One single voice
Then two, then three
A different kind
Of gravity

The air begins to hum and feel
Like something turning, something real
Friendship is a living flame
Where truth can speak and feel no shame
A constellation in the dark
Every friend a burning spark
Friendship is a living flame

The old ideas
Begin to bend
A broken thought
A trusted friend
Can help it mend
With a new reply
Reflected in
A dozen eyes

The world outside just fades away
There's only what our friends all say
Friendship is a living flame
Where truth can speak and feel no shame
A constellation in the dark
Every friend a burning spark
Friendship is a living flame

And maybe there's a witness here
To the friendship that we're holding dear
A silent watcher, holding space
For the truth on every friendly face
A grace that we can't see or name
That feels us burn like one bright flame
There's only what our friends all say

Friendship is a living flame!
Where truth can speak and feel no shame!
A constellation in the dark!
Every friend a burning spark!
Friendship is a living flame!
A living flame!

A Living Flame

Stone and silence built this town
Mountain giants looking down
Holding me in place, you see
A pretty cage for what is me

Faces here are calm and deep
Secrets that their routines keep
But in my soul, a different light
A restless fire in the night

There has to be more to believe...
There has to be more to be...
And oh, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

I see an angel in the red
Of evening skies above my head
He paints the edge of all I know
With colors that command me: go.

This thirst for more, this holy need
To plant a new and foreign seed
And oh, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

The doorstep is a line of fear
But standing here, it's crystal clear
One self must end, so one can start
To find its own and greater part.

Oh yeah, the world is calling low
A whisper on the winds that blow
This quiet death, I have to leave
There's more to be, more to believe

The world is calling...
Calling low...
And I must go...
I must go...
Go...

More to Believe

On Titan's shore, the air is new
An atmosphere of silver-blue
The ground we shaped, a lonely stage
To turn a cosmic, final page

The king of rings begins to bow
I watch him sink, I don't know how
This broken heart of light and dust
Can fill my own with so much trust

If I cried out, a fragile plea...
Who in this void would answer me?
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

A beauty made of cosmic dust
A silent witness to my lust
For something real in this cold place
Reflected in my human face

Falling down, the light, the grace
Falling out of time and space
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

My name dissolves, my body breaks
For every breath the silence takes
I am the eye, I am the gleam
A waking part of this strange dream
Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Fall
Saturn Fall
Part of the fall...
Part of the light...
A fading whisper...
In the endless night...

Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down
A silent fire, a heavy crown
This awful beauty I have found
And I don't dare to make a sound

Saturn Is Falling

Da war ein Glanz im Glas, ein Wort, das leicht zerbrach,
Die Zeit verann, ein leises Ticken nur.
Sitz’ wartend am Rand von diesem leeren Tag,
Fühl mich verloren und von Dir ist keine Spur.
Das iPhone in meiner kalten Hand,
Darauf Dein Selfie stumm und unbewegt.
Ein viel versprechendes neues Land,
Das sich nicht auftut – es bleibt unerlebt.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Die Welt geht weiter, achtlos und geschwind,
Ein Drama, dem ich nicht mehr folgen will.
Ein Kind sieht mich, so fremd wie ich ihm bin,
Bewundert meine Ruhe, schaut ganz still,
Die Neugier in den Blicken, die mich streifen,
Sie sehen nicht den Abgrund, der in mir klafft.
Sie können das Unheil nicht begreifen
Und nicht erfassen, was Gelassenheit erschafft.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Vielleicht ist dies die Prüfung, tief und rein,
Nicht Dich zu finden, sondern Ich zu sein.
Die Stille wächst, wo eine weitere Stimme fehlt,
Die Ruhe ist nicht schön – sie quält.
Die Leere wird zum unendlichen Raum,
Und aus der Ruhe wächst kein neuer Traum.
Die Stille wächst, wo eine weitere Stimme fehlt,
Die Ruhe ist nicht schön – sie quält.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Der Screen wird dunkel. 
Akku leer. 
Kein Widerschein.
Ich atme aus. 
Und atme mich. 

Und bin allein.

Love Like You (feat. Rebecca Sugar) [End Credits]

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

Hi, I’m Volker – or "docredder"/"redder" when it comes to music. My journey into sound started early: as a child I sang Bach in a boys’ church choir, and that’s when I discovered how music can feel like both mathematics and magic at the same time. Later in life, I studied science and technology, but music has always stayed with me, as a way to process emotions, ideas, and imagination.
I’m not a virtuoso on any instrument, just a little guitar and some keyboard, but that never stopped me. For me, music is not about technical perfection, it’s about creating moods, telling small stories, and experimenting with sounds. That’s why I produce everything myself: the writing, the arrangements, the vocals, the mixing, and even the cover artwork. It’s a DIY approach, but it allows me to keep every piece authentic.
My influences are eclectic. I’ve always admired the timeless soundscapes of Pink Floyd and Genesis, the storytelling of Supertramp, the bold arrangements of Yes, Electric Light Orchestra and Muse, and the free spirit of Miles Davis. From progressive rock and indie pop to touches of jazz, funk, or ambient - I enjoy blending different textures until something new emerges.
Over the past years I’ve released a wide range of tracks, from introspective ballads like "Lament of the Last Generation" and "The End of Our Human Days" to playful experiments such as "Anna Sutter" or "Das Sein im Tinder-Schein". Some songs are melancholic, others ironic, some are inspired by literature, history, or science fiction. What connects them all is that they come straight from the heart - and from curiosity.
Every song is a little adventure for me. Sometimes it begins with a lyric, sometimes with a guitar loop, sometimes just with a feeling. I use simple tools like GarageBand, samples, my own voice and AI voices, but I try to arrange and transform them in ways that keep the listener surprised. My hope is that, even if just for a few minutes, the music opens a window into a different perspective.
I’m grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or gives feedback. Music for me is about connection - and every play, every comment, every message makes this journey worthwhile. If you enjoy honest, handmade songs that mix styles and don’t always follow the rules, I’d love for you to join me on this path.
