For Saskia and her dad (1935-2021)


[Rough English translation]
SOMEWHERE STILL HERE
Hey Dad, how are you
It's been a while
I miss you
I can still see you standing
Behind the front door
From the nursing home
How you kept waving
When we had to go

You couldn’t find your place
Didn’t get used to it there
You wanted to go home
With us
Until you forgot
Where your home was
Who everyone was
It all happened so fast

But it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Hey Dad, I still see us
Together enjoying
Concerts by Bach
You with closed eyes
You were there for me
When I got depressed
That I was not alone
Spoke out of your face

And it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Sometimes you were struggling
You could be angry, stubborn
Did not know what to do with yourself
The helplessness of your childhood
You came back to that again
A child, now skin and bone
That was always on its own
All alone

Hey Dad, I would
Like to talk to you
While I rub your shoulder
Somewhere still here, somewhere on earth
Where you are with me

Dreamy Blues

Your humble servant accompanied by Her Majesty's Royal Ensemble https://soundcloud.com/spukschreibmaschine. As if Roger Waters was lost in the middle of Twin Peaks, and was meeting the local choir in there...

Gone with the birds (SpukSchreibMaschine x The Fall of Saigon)

"Wants you to know" is one written for the ladies.  It is a post-breakup song about a strong, bright, beautiful, and confident woman who's been hurt, broken, and moved on.  She leaves town and leaves the past behind her but she isn't running away, she's running to her future and on to amazing things.

The lyrics starts off with a brand new day, going out for a ride in a hot car and feeling good.  In the second verse, she's leaving town but she's not running away.   She's "running to her future" and doing so with a new tattoo.  People tend to get tattoos for meaningful things and changes in their life.  She's making a big change and moving on to bigger and better things.  When the chorus comes in at the end, we learn that she threw away everything she was given in that bad relationship, the memories have gone away so whoever hurt her means nothing to her now, and she wants someone to know.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She’s ready to start a brand-new day
All those memories are so far away

Push the seat back
Drop the top down 
Fasten the seat belt
Crank up the music

Fixes her mascara
In the rear-view mirror
Gives herself a wink
Says ‘damn I look good’

[Verse 2]
Feeling free and ditching this old town
Maybe someday she’ll see you around

With a new tattoo
She’s running to her future
Like a shooting star
Bright and beautiful
Wishing you knew her
Wishing you had her
Watch her tail as 
It likes up the sky
[guitar lead]

[Chorus]
Ooo She threw it all away
All the things you gave
She threw them away

Ooo She threw it all away
The memories you made
She threw them away

She wants you to know

Drugs Don't Love Me

It's my turn to be blamed
For winning this game.
I run away
And you will stay

This town will be your last shelter.
Don't dream of another.
My god, you're stuck in here.
You'll never run away, 
Poor fellow queer.

I dreamt of something else 
For us and all the rest.
But I will be happy
And she will be he.

This town will be your last shelter.
Don't dream of another.
My god, you're stuck in here.
You'll never run away, 
Poor fellow queer.

Away from the city,
At last, I am free.
Sometimes I dream of you.
I wonder what you may do.

This town will be your last shelter.
Don't dream of another.
My god, you're stuck in here.
You'll never run away, 
Poor fellow queer.

You'll never run away

Independent artist making songs that rock.

I don’t know about you but I miss hearing songs that just rock.  A couple of guitars, bass, drums, vocals, and harmonies make such a powerful combination.  It’s this power and energy that I’m after in the songs I record.
I perform all parts on these recordings unless otherwise specified. I’m primarily a guitar player and never considered myself a singer but I started doing it to complete my songs and I may be finding a voice for myself.
I’m open to collaboration so reach out if you’d like to work on some tracks.  I don’t have any rap on my tracks, don’t listen to much rap, but I have a couple of incomplete songs I’m interested in brining some rap into.  So let me know if any of you rappers want to collaborate with a rocker.
Recording, mixing, mastering is just as much of a hobby as playing the music is.  If you’d like another ear on your mix or some mastering done, drop me a message.  I’m not looking for money for it, just the opportunity to practice my skills on other artists work, see what I can do, and help a fellow musician.
Finally, I’m looking to put together a band to see how my songs work live.  Reach out if you’re interested and in the RDU area.  Follow me on my social media links to get the latest updates on the journey and share some music and laughs.
Cheers!
