wonderful.....sounds like something from a Peter Murphy solo album 😃

The earth breathes thin, a gasping sigh,
A landscape scorched beneath the sky.
The ravens keen, black tatters fly,
Witnessing what fire passed by.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
A fading whisper, by our side.

Where are the hands that sowed the grain?
The melodies that eased the pain?
Only an echo, lost to rain,
A fading whisper, all in vain.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

They trace the ash, a gentle gleam,
A beauty lingering in a dream.
In every blade, a hopeful stream,
A promise, stronger than it seems.
For endings hold a tender seed,
A quiet rising, to succeed.
Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

So pure, this breath, though barely known,
By God's own grace, forever sown.

The Silence Where The Laughter Died

The windows were rattled by excuses in transit
No one was ever named
Coffee was poured, then cooled by inert stares
Responsibility was evaded
Our history was footnoted in parentheses
Subjects were dropped like lost keys
Hearts were tangled in disclaimers
Ownership was never claimed

Objects were acted upon 
While actors hid behind thin clauses
Clarity was deferred
Uncertainty was preferred

Mistakes were made
Feelings were hurt
Blame was implied but not assigned
Actions were questioned
Voices were silenced
Responsibility was never delivered

Our arguments were catalogued in passive tone
No culprit to convict
The garden was neglected-watering was missed
Hands were nowhere to be found
Promises were tucked into envelopes stamped "Pending"
Deliveries untracked
Every door was left ajar
Closures were postponed by unnamed causes

Boundaries were blurred
Culpability dispersed
No subject stood firm

Mistakes were made
Feelings were hurt
Blame was implied but not assigned
Actions were questioned
Voices were silenced
Responsibility was never delivered

See how the verbs collapse when the doers disappear
How the sentences stagger without a subject to steer
This story was written in passive ink
And so its meaning was left indistinct

Mistakes were made
Feelings were hurt
Blame was implied but not assigned
Actions were questioned
Voices were silenced
Responsibility was never delivered

Passive Voice Was Used

Your eyes shine like the sun
Warmth and light for everyone
In your gaze I find peace
In your eyes hope's release

They reflect the world's grace
Every truth every place
In their depth I see time
In their stories endless rhyme

“My Funny Valentine” was written in 1937 by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart for the Broadway musical Babes in Arms. It was introduced on opening night (April 14, 1937) by Mitzi Green, sung by her character Billie Smith to Valentine “Val” LaMar—the source of the title. The lyric’s affectionate litany of a lover’s “flaws” helped the song feel modern and emotionally honest.

Though born on Broadway, it became a major jazz standard: early chart success arrived in 1945 (Hal McIntyre/Ruth Gaylor), and Frank Sinatra’s 1954 recording pushed it deep into the jazz repertoire. Chet Baker’s 1954 vocal turned it into a signature, and Miles Davis’s 1964 Philharmonic Hall performance (issued as My Funny Valentine: Miles Davis in Concert) sealed its iconic status for modern jazz.

My Funny Valentine - R. Rodgers

"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.
