May 2013
hello to all the friends of souncloud.
i would like to create a common song and listen to it in various, speak and musical languages and singed by different voices.
impossible? history will tell us something :)
so i'm looking for collaborations for that track.

1) lyrics
2) different remixes / arragements.
3) voice

First  track is only the piano part with chords without melodic line.
Second  track is the piano part with chords and melodic line (only for example.)
Thirst track is piano part with my voice in greek (be lenient and forgive the quality of voice.)

p.s. originally i have written it for a greek singer but at the end the project hasn't go on.

Starting Terminus - Piano Solo

lyrics in Deutsch: Joseph von Eichendorff.
voice: Katja Tennigkeit.
music and piano: Fivos Valachis

all of a sudden I receive en email with this sentence:
"Your piano playing reminded me so much of german romantic music, that I thought I would turn this into something like a "Kunstlied", just that I didn't want to sing it very classical. So I dived into the oevre of one of the favorite romantic poets, many of his poems were composed by Schubert, Schumann etc., Joseph von Eichendorff."

thanks Katja.
you gave new breath to this piece.

Die Stille

Es weiß und rät doch keiner,
Wie mir so wohl ist, so wohl!
Ach, wüßt' es nur einer, nur einer,
Kein Mensch es sonst wissen soll!

So still ist's nicht draußen im Schnee,
So stumm und verschwiegen sind
Die Sterne nicht in der Höhe,
als meine Gedanken sind.

Ich wünscht', es wär schon Morgen,
Da fliegen zwei Lerchen auf,
Die überfliegen einander,
Mein Herze folgt ihrem Lauf.

Ich wünscht', ich wäre ein Vöglein
Und zöge über das Meer,
Wohl über das Meer und weiter,
Bis daß ich im Himmel wär'!

----------
(The quiet woman:
Noone knows or could guess how well I feel, how well!
Oh, if just this one would know, just this one, no one else would need to know.

It's not that quite out in the snow, so silent
are not even the stars up high, as my thoughts are.

I wish it was tomorrow, there two larks rise up in the sky
they fly around each other, my heart follows their course.

I wish I was a little bird, I flew across the sea,
across the sea and even further, until I was in heaven.)

Capolinea
----------------------
Cosa pensi di fare andando via
Cosa pensi che trovi fuggendo là
Ritorni sempre al capolinea
Con la stessa acqua ancora la sete placherai

Chi mai pensi che sarà lì per salvarti
Quale fuoco sarà acceso per scaldarti
Quante bugie dal falso mai ti salveranno
Se non hai da dire almeno una verità

Scopri tutte quante le tue carte
Tieni aperte le possibilità
Lascia che sia il gioco a giocarti
Non tenere per te le carte che hai

Dove sogni di trovare ciò che cerchi
Quale mare pensi che navigherai
Costruisci le tue navi con la pietra
E con le navi di roccia nessuno ha viaggiato mai.

English translation (rough and quite literal)

What do you think you'll do going away?
What do you think you'll find fleeing there?
You always come back to square one
It's always the same water you'll quench your thirst with

Who do you think will be there to save you?
Which fire will be lit to warm you?
How many lies will save you from falseness,
If you don't have at least a truth to say?

Turn all your cards face up
Leave all your chances open
Let the game play you
Don't keep your cards for yourself

Where do you dream to find what you're looking for?
Which sea do you think you'll sail?
You build your ships with stone
And with stone ships no one ever has sailed

The Final Goodbye

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

More synthrock, but this time with a somewhat dirtier sound. All instruments except the drums are created on the Nord Stage 3. Played a little with feedback, as well as changed the attack on the main rhythmic synth live as I was playing. The lyrics are once again a mix of science and emotion using a black hole as a metaphor for a toxic relationship - seems to be a style that works for me.

INFINITE ATTRACTION

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

A fine line pulling on my soul
As close as I could ever get
An unseen stronger than steel
At the point of no return

Light up all of your rockets
Switch on the burners, oh yeah
Let go of all of your emotions
You can spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free
I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free

Bounce off a satellite to Houston
Switch on the radio, oh yeah
There’s no time for thinking
You could spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

The cosmos is dragging me down
Once in there’s no getting out

It’s an infinite attraction
It’s an infinite attraction

Infinite Attraction

When I See You
----------------

When i see you
I could almost puke
When I see you
A strange shudder goes through and through
When I See You
My head turns bloodred
While the world shifts in two halves
And none of them would last
Without the other one…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
It’s too uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look at the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds
And am all agitated
I avoid all pictures of you
Try not to think about it too much
Close my inner eye, too…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
Oh, it’s so uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look on the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds… ahh…

solo

When i see you
You never talk to me
No reaction you show
Just stand somewhere off silently,
Peripheral,
In the background
Wthout a sound
How can I see what is not there ?
How can I remind what never took place ?
How can I feel that i was close to you,
Even if that was unreal, ?
And if I’d see you
As a monster,
As a hypocrate,
As a drama queen ?
And if i’d see you
As a mirror image ?
As a saviour ?
As a lover … ?

When I see you
Oh, when i see you
It’s so uneasy to explain
It’s too uneasy to explain…
When do I see you ?
When will i see you ?
When will i see you again ?

New version of my 2023 track "Punk is not dead!"


1 2 3 4
Punk is not dead

Mohawk hair cut
And leather jacket
Denim and chains
And Doc Martens

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

Walk in the streets
And break the windows
Drinking some beers
And fight with bums
Playing guitar
Loud in a bar
Yelling your rage
And set the fire

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 4

Hanging around
With all your dogs
Sleep in a park
And wash in a pool
But must always keep
Rock’n roll attitude
Punk is not dead
Rock Music never dies

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

[Guitar Solo]

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

Punk is not Dead

Remix of a track previously entitled "The Shining", the tune now features synth choirs and strings to encance the sound.
