She moves like color through the air, 
A flame of orange, bold and rare. 
Her eyes are secrets, green and deep, 
A masterpiece the world can’t keep.
Her lips, a song of red desire, 
Her every breath, a spark of fire. 
She wears the sun, she paints the sky, 
She makes the ordinary fly.

 She is art, she’s love alive, 
Every color that keeps me high. 
She’s the light, she’s the start, 
She is my heart, she is art.

 Her earrings dance, like stars they gleam, 
Each step she takes, a waking dream. 
The yellow wraps her, warm and bright, 
A glow that turns the day to night.
She is the painter and the muse, 
A beauty no one dares to lose. 
In every line, in every hue, 
She makes the world feel born anew.

 She is art, she’s love alive, 
Every color that keeps me high. 
She’s the light, she’s the start, 
She is my heart, she is art.

Every moment she’s alive, 
The colors bloom, the stars collide. 
She’s the magic, she’s the spark, 
She’s the fire lighting the dark.

She is art, she’s love alive, 
Every color that keeps me high. 
She’s the light, she’s the start, 
She is my heart, she is art.

 She is art, she’s all I see, 
The masterpiece that sets me free. 
She’s the light, she’s the start, 
Forever my heart - she is art.

She Is Art

une version choeurs et vioiloncelle dela sonate "clair de lune"  de Beethoven

La Sonate au clair de lune a été écrite en 1801 et dédiée à l’une des élèves de Beethoven, la comtesse Giulietta Guicciardi, dont le compositeur aurait été amoureux. Pourtant, le titre de « Sonate au clair de lune » n’était pas de Beethoven. Au lieu de cela, le nom évocateur a été donné à titre posthume par le poète allemand Ludwig Rellstab, qui a remarqué que le premier mouvement lui rappelait le reflet de la lune sur le lac des Quatre-Cantons.

[Vers 1]
Demons they haunt me
Lost souls, cast away at sea
Heartbeats from dragging me
Into endless purgatory 

But I was pulled from nights’ abyss (oh oh)
By the pull of Divine forgiveness (ooh ooh)
That suffering makes sense
That carried me to this

[Pre Chorus]
And If I had to do it all over again (ahh oh)
If that was the means to meet this end (ahh oh)
And that was the way to learn to live
If I had to
If I had to

[Chorus]
Break the chains of desperation 
Emancipate your mental state
Free your mind, free your body
‘Cause heaven on earth awaits (awaits)

[Post Chorus]
How much longer shall you linger (linger)
In this hell of your own creation? (creation)
Take your hand off that trigger
Feel the joy of emancipation 

[Pre Chorus]
If I had to do it all over again (again)
If that was the means to meet this end (this end)
And that was the way to learn to live (learn to live)
If I had to
If I had to

[Chorus]
Break the chains of desperation 
Emancipate your mental state
Whoa! Free your mind, free your body
‘Cause heaven on earth awaits (awaits)

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[Post Chorus]
How much longer shall you linger (linger)
In this hell of your own creation (creation)
Take your hand off that trigger
Feel the joy of emancipation 

[Bridge]
And if I had to do it all over again
If that was the means to meet this end
And that was the way to learn to live
If I had to
To learn to live
If I had to
To meet this end

[Final Chorus]
Break the chains of desperation 
Emancipate your mental state
Whoa! Free your mind, free your body
‘Cause heaven on earth awaits (awaits)

[Outro]
How much longer shall you linger
In this hell of your own creation
Take your hand off that trigger
Feel the joy of emancipation 
Feel the joy of emancipation 
Feel the joy of emancipation 
Feel the joy of emancipation

emancipation

Does the moon keep its glow in the dark night sky
Do the rivers stop running when mountains cry
I heard a story about stars that never fall
But can love outshine them all

Can love last forever
Forever and more
Like waves on the shore
They just can't ignore
Will it echo in the canyon
Hum in the trees
Can love last forever
Tell me please

If the sun takes a bow and the world turns cold
Will love still burn like fire
Brave and bold
Does it linger in the air like a whispered song
Or fade like shadows when the night's too long

They say nothing stays
Not even the rain
But is love the one thing that breaks the chain

Can love last forever
Forever and more
Like waves on the shore
They just can't ignore
Will it echo in the canyon
Hum in the trees
Can love last forever
Tell me please


Maybe it's a gamble
Maybe it's a dream
A flicker in the distance
Or a steady beam
But I'll hold on tight
Through the stormy weather
Hoping love lasts forever
Forever together

Das Traurige Kind

Aime-moi d'amour
Claire et Louis s'éloignent pour un nouveau départ, 
mais leur rêve tourne au cauchemar 
quand des hommes en costume leur offrent une ferme isolée 
en échange d'un 'petit service'. 
Quel est ce prix à payer pour leur bonheur ? 
Jusqu'où iront-ils pour protéger leur amour et leur avenir ? 
Seront-ils capables d'échapper aux ombres du passé ? 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGAz4do4D2A

Enfin, si tu veux répondre à ma flamme,
Enfin si tu veux
Combler tous mes vœux,
Jusqu'au dernier jour garde-moi ton âme,
Jusqu'au dernier jour
Aime-moi d'amour.

François-Marie Robert-Dutertre.

Vibrer de tendresse

just in order to add some relaxing dreaminess to the depressing depth of my reflections on despair (the album) I recently remembered a song written/recorded about 5 years ago with the help of a vintage korg cx-3: a super simple, classic organ phrase, for which I found vocal snippets in the logic pro library – actually, massively slurred singing and quite exaggerated effects. 

I barely understood what was being sung but there was something special about this vocal can, an indescribable kind of unfulfilled/unfulfillable longing that perfectly matched the mood of the organ.

can an AI-voice capture such a mood? I wrote new lyrics and, based on the recording from back then, set out to demand a particularly generous dose of human touch from my suno persona. 

the prob: learning doesn’t necessarily mean doing for the machine. it doesn't work iteratively, but rather in a damn random way – which means worst hell if you have specific ideas about the end result. so, it took more than one extra mile to make progress.

in the end, I'm quite satisfied with the final sketch (AI will always remain a dummy for me). and I'm clearly satisfied with another empirical insight, that new technologies don’t change the fundamental principles of human creativity. they merely shift the effort. it remains wonderfully hard.

WISHING YOU ALL A PEACEFUL, HEALTHY, AND HAPPY START TO THE SEASON OF LIGHTS, WHEREVER THEY MAY LEAD US

Searching for a simple truth
Just a chance to slip a move
She can’t find where she belongs
In clouds
In clouds

When the starlight feels too high
And the night turns bleak and wide
All her thoughts slip out of sight

Reaching for an answer sign
Searching through the quiet lines
Trying hard to read the air
Hoping something’s waiting there

They say the sun will come out
That it will clean all clouds
Something shook her mind and left her drifting
Reaching for an answer sign

They say daylight clears the gloom
Yet she still feels caught by the doom
All the answers fall right through her fingers
Reaching for an answer sign

Searching

street cat by Nova J

[Verse 1]
What’s your life like?
Flirting with your green eyes
Captivating me
Seducing me
I’m your slave 
This feral mind of mine
How it wanders, how it churns
These wild thoughts keep swirling
How they simmer, how they burn

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Vers 2]
I fear for you
I don’t want your life to be hard
You take a drink and I feel chosen
But only for a moment before you run away 
You belong to no one
You are possessed by no one
You are sworn to no one 

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Bridge]
The sun is finally shining
After two long weeks of rain
I even caught myself smiling
Like the old me again
But the storm always returns
And the wind always blows
My restless mind
These thoughts never slow

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh 

[Outro]
I try to sit quiet
I try to sit calm
Typhoons and tempests
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)

(FR) Un son au milieu du vide, puis une mélodie... et dans les interférences du silence, une voix... Elle semble venir de loin. Comme une réponse à notre appel lancé dans le cosmos. La sonde Voyager 1 poursuit sa course muette, mais quelque part, quelqu’un a entendu. Entre glitchs stellaires et harmonies suspendues, cette “présence” transforme le bruit en mélodie. Un chant étrange, traversé d’échos lumineux, de parasites galactiques, d’harmonies floues. Cette fois, ce n’est plus nous qui parlons. C’est l’univers qui répond.

(EN) A sound in the void, then a melody… and within the silence’s static, a voice.
It seems to come from far away — like an answer to the message we sent into the cosmos.
Voyager 1 drifts on in mute solitude, but somewhere, someone… heard.
Between stellar glitches and suspended harmonies, this presence turns noise into song.
A strange chant, laced with luminous echoes, galactic interference, and blurred harmonies.
This time, it’s no longer us speaking.
It’s the universe… replying.

[Intro]
Mmm whuhmm

[Verse 1]
When you were high, they were stopping by
When supplies ran low, they hit the road
If you stock back up, they wanna come ‘round 
All them flakes and fakes, fillin’ up your place
With their tall tales, like killer whales
Comin’ for your blow hole

[Pre Chorus]
But you can’t sustain the life they demand
To hang out with your ice in their cocktail glass

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
Whoa oooh but drug friends 

[Verse 2]
Cuz they all say how much they love it there
If they play games and scroll for days
And they all show up ‘till you fool yourself
Into thinking you’re popular in all ways 
And you can’t believe you put faith in phony rats
And you’re sick n’ tired of fair weather sycophants 

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
(Whoa oh oh ooop oh oh ooop)
Whoa oooh whoa oooh 
whoa ooooh whoa ooooh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

[Bridge]
You wrote your best friend from rehab
He stood you up when you got clean 
Your friend with benefits ghosts you 
Cuz sober sex ain’t his game
Your heart is broke n’ betrayed 
By they selfish and hurtful ways

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
(Whoa oh ooop whoa oh oh ooop oooh whoa whoa)
Whoa oh oh ooop oh oh ooop oooh whoa oh whoa oooh

[Final Chorus]
Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends

I'm now taking a six-week digital detox vacation.
We'll see and hear from each other again in 2026!
Happy Holidays!

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

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
