Description: I wrote this song shortly after graduation from college in 1978 as it laments the sudden separation from 4 very personal years and so many relationships. It was originally intended to be pretty much a folksy song, perhaps in line with a Jackson Browne feel or something. But somehow it evolved into this recording I did in a near punk rock feel quite a few years ago. Drum machine and me...

this is revelation!! Sounding great!  Guitar has its moments! LOL!

Craig! I diden't know!!! You did all thaty rather well.

great work Durge, funny how it started as a folk song, but I often feel punk is a branch of a folk tree. 

Woah!! I’ve just woken up and am listening to this! Good morning!!

Lyrics:  The Tale of Grace O’Malley

Let me tell you the tale
Of Grace O’Malley
Crimson red hair 
And the courage she carried
A nobleman’s daughter
A life full of rules
But fate took her hands 
And gave her sailing shoes
A pirate queen,  deadly  and fair…
In Gaelic her name wasn’t Grace
It’s Grainne of Clare  

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, lead with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees

V2
In a time when a girl 
Had no worth but breeding
You broke all the rules
And pierced every ceiling
You made all your fortunes
Then saved all your sons
And paid the Queens’ ransom
Then called all to arms
For bonnie Ireland needed you so
And your heart would never let go.. could never let go….

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, 
Lead them with a with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees
Oh you’d rather die freely 
Than live on your knees…

So now you know the tale.. of Grace O’Malley
Just a girl with red hair .. who was worth more than marriage
Now look at your daughters..  and tell them you love them
And treat them like equals and never condemn them
They’re all so much more.. they’re  worth so much more…
Like Grainne of Clare.

Photography, painting and music are inextricably linked for me. My paintings and photographs are created on an equal footing with my songs. Sometimes they are mutually dependent, arising simultaneously in a creative process. This led to an idea for a video to bring you closer to my pictures and my music:
YouTube: https://youtu.be/n13TdtRdiy8?si=RUHeT9A52veBCZoG
Composed after a painting from a current series. Music created in interaction with painting and vice versa.

Fotografie, Malerei und Musik sind für mich untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Meine Gemälde und Fotografien entstehen gleichberechtigt mit meinen Liedern. Manchmal bedingen sie sich gegenseitig und entstehen gleichzeitig in einem kreativen Prozess. Daraus entstand die Idee für ein Video, das euch meine Bilder und meine Musik näher bringen soll.

Dieser Song ist komponiert nach einem Bild aus einer aktuellen Serie. Die Musik entsteht im Zusammenspiel mit der Malerei und umgekehrt.

A song about how I came to learn to play the guitar and start to write songs. I am very sorry for the poor sound. But at the moment I can only record with my phone. That's why I have to play the song in one go. The drums are just the built-in drum accompaniment of my amplifier, which I switched on in this song after the first chords. I will buy an audio interface and try to find a DAW (free or not too expensive) - if you know a free one, you can send me a PM.
One day I will manage to get a better sound, I am sure! But for the first songs, only all live-played with the drums from my amp recorded via phone, since I cannot do more at the moment. Perhaps some like it nevertheless? I am a bit excited about pulishing my first track here...
Since someone asked for the lyrics:

Motörhead is dead
A song called Ramones brought me to them
In my girlsroom I learned to play the guitar
I knew that I would not get very far
When my teacher told us, Motörhead is dead
I wanted to find out the music they made
The music was so fast, the sound was so hard
A song called Ramones brought me to them
Another great band
A second hand guitar, amp from my brother, too loud for my mother
In my girlsroom, on my bed, with headphone on, guitar in hand
With every chord I felt more alive
Motörhead and the Ramones became my drive
I plug in my amp and turn on the sound
Playing Motörhead so loud
With Motörhead my journey had begun
Now I write songs one by one
I learn how to rock and run
And Motörhead lives on and on and on and on

Motorhead Is Dead
