---

I'm on the edge of the edge of the world, 
Falling, calling, closing and curled. 
Wading through dreams trying to hide from the drums, 
Wake me, shake me, before the rain comes. 

Softly, sing to me. 
Softly, sing to me. 

Everyone knows that still waters run deep,
Drinking, sinking, the secrets you keep. 
Changers and strangers cut paths through the soul...
Why be complete when complete isn't whole?

Softly, sing to me.
Softly, sing to me.

HANG ON ft MADDY & OTHERS

When I stumbled across Ren and heard her incredible voice, I knew straight away that I really wanted to write a song for her. 'Safe' is the result. Ren's thoughtful lyrics paint a poignant picture of a difficult situation, in which one is trapped and desperate to leave, in the hope that they can feel safe again.

You can contact her at https://soundcloud.com/renfaye-1

Lyrics are below:

I know...you are near...when the lights go...out...

I can't, think straight
When I'm next to you,
I'm out of place,
When your words cut through
Like glass, I'm little tiny pieces in the mirror,
Shrink myself now
Pretend that I'm not here
Printer ink run out...

I can't breathe right,
Like I did before,
Losing my fight,
Stays behind closed doors...

And all,
All I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know, that you are near...

To, feel safe (All I ever wanted)
Safe, from you... (and the rasied-voice sound)
Safe,
All I've ever wanted
To feel safe from you...

And I try and I try but there's no escape,
In my sleep I crash down wild-awake
Visualising, of a time when
I can be free

As I exhale,
Into the cold air,
Open my eyes,
You won't find me there
And all, all I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know,
That you are near,
When the lights go out...

...and the raised-voice sound
(ooh...ahhh)
When the lights go...
Safe,
All I've ever wanted to feel,
Safe,
From you.
Take,
there is nothing much left.
That I can,
Take,
With me.

Ah...ah...
Oooh...ooh
Ahh...Ahh
Ahh...ahh..ahh

Safe,
All I've ever wanted,
To feel
Safe,
From me...
Safe,
There is nothing much left
That I can take,
With me

Ahh...

I know that...
You are near...
When the lights...
Go...

Out...

Safe (feat. Ren Faye)

<<a breakup song>>

You can read me like a book
You can play me like a song
the one that you turned to 
When things went wrong

The angel on your shoulder
The hero looking over
I’m feeling so much older
And the world seems colder 

your words are a circle
Drawn in the sand
There is no beginning
There is no end

Like wandering the desert
40 days and nights together
I don’t work well under pressure
Can’t find the answer

You can take it like how you want it but I still want to be your friend
Your savior ain’t beside you so unless you look inside you
We’re out here alone
We’ve got to save our own skin

We get up when we’re down
Now were lost, we’ll be found
We go out on the town until the morning comes

We’re a little bit older, you’re a little more sober, I’m a little hungover
When the daylight comes 


life is beautiful
Life is a scream
But here comes the heartache 
that dashes your dream
 
there’s a devil on your shoulder
a shadow falling over
your feel so much colder
The world seems so older

When The Daylight Comes

I have written this song for all people and creatures who suffer from the increasing resurgence of right-wing populist and repressive political systems

Lyrics in English:

The murderers are still among us
They are further called "Hinz" and "Kunz"
Are completely anonymous and nameless

Arisen from the womb
Who unites them in hatred of foreigners

White as a sheet in their souls
The heritage makes them great again

The murder legacy is now starting:

They may vomit again
Insulting, groping, staring at women
Ripping Jews Kipas from their heads
Shitting on PoC their need

Lighting homeless people at night
Inventing the Holocaust as a lie

Never again!
Turn off the brown light
Never again!
A mortuary house 
Never again!
Mass murder as a plan
The banality of evil is sneakily creeping up
Never again!
Never again!

The language is diluted
It targets the lowest instinct
Pretends to be "The People"
Invades the angle of revenge of bitter souls

Arouses envy of those who are at the top
And those who are supposedly getting better
Until a legimitation is created for them:

To kick, to beat, to torture, to rush
To sharpen the weapons against the alleged invasion
To pillory those again who think differently 
To swell the national chicken breast
To set nasty traps for those who are declared vermin
To ennoble the betrayal
To gag the deviants dead 
To wriggle themselves superiority with the tail of the power demon

Never again!
Turn off the brown light
Never again!
A mortuary house 
Never again!
Mass murder as a plan
The banality of evil is sneakily creeping up
Never again!
Never again!

Deutscher Originaltext:

Nie wieder!

Die Mörder sind noch immer unter uns
Sie heißen weiter "Hinz" und "Kunz"
Sind ganz gesicht- und namenlos

Entsprungen aus dem Mutterschoß
Der Sie vereint im Fremdenhaß

In ihrer Seele leichenblaß 
Macht sie das Erbe wieder groß

Das Mordvermächtnis legt jetzt los:

Sie dürfen wieder kotzen
Frauen beschimpfen, begrapschen, anglotzen
Juden Kipas niederreißen
Auf PoC ihre Notdurft scheißen
Obdachlose nachts anzünden
Den Holocaust als Lüge erfinden

Nie wieder!
Macht das Braunlicht aus
Nie wieder!
Ein Leichenberge-Haus 
Nie wieder!
Massenmord als Plan
Die Banalität des Bösen kriecht schleichend heran
Nie wieder!
Nie wieder!

Die Sprache ist verdünnt
Zielt auf den niedersten Instinkt
Gibt vor "Das Volk" zu sein
Dringt in den Rachewinkel bitt‘rer Seelen ein

Schürt Neid auf jene, die da oben stehen
Und jene, denen es angeblich besser geht
Bis eine Legimitation für Sie entsteht:

Zu treten, zu schlagen, zu foltern, zu hetzen
Die Waffen gegen die vermeintliche Invasion zu wetzen
An den Pranger zu stellen 
Die nationale Hühnerbrust zu schwellen
Den zum Ungeziefer Erklärten fiese Fallen zu stellen
Den Verrat zu veredeln
Die Abweichler tot zu knebeln 
Sich mit dem Schwanz des Machtdämons Überlegenheit zuzuwedeln

Nie wieder!
Macht das Braunlicht aus
Nie wieder!
Ein Leichenberge-Haus 
Nie wieder!
Massenmord als Plan
Die Banalität des Bösen kriecht schleichend heran
Nie wieder!
Nie wieder!

Nie wieder! - Never again!

Nie Wieder! - Never Again! (Lyrics in English in the Intro)

One year later - 
dedicated to my father.

Erinnerung

The first song Frank and I ever learned and performed together. Done as a gift to my buddy Dave. I can't remember if it was his birthday, or a New Year's present. Late Christmas? Who knows. But this was back before we had a SoundCloud, or a Facebook page, or anything even remotely resembling a DAW. Just us, in a room, with a chirping smoke detector. Hope you enjoy the very first HinTTrack.

https://soundcloud.com/shark_teeth93

I can't wait to see how you get out of this
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!
You have walked right into the trap
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!
A fleeting hope for survival
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!
You could lose it all in an instant
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!

You've got a lot of nerve to open up the gates of hell
You've done it all by yourself, and now you're gonna pay the price
There's no way I can intervene, but just stand by and watch you crawl
This should be such a pity, yet I feel no sympathy

Are you gonna sink or swim?
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!
This will be the final call
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!
Tales of death told by fireside
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!
The voodoo coming after you
Imminent danger! Imminent danger!

You've got something bad on your track, turn and run, don't look back
You've got evil in your way, it's closing 'round you day after day
Hope to see you on the other side, keep your head down, eat your pride
There's not much left to say, hide your face and be on your way

Imminent Danger by Shark Teeth And Moon Dust

OIL IT UP

Me and you we used to have some fun girl
Now your gonna leave and break me all apart 
Well let’s keep it classy if you’re gonna shoot me through the heart
Cos if I’m your murder victim
Let me clean your gun

Oil it up 
I’ll clean your gun
Oil it up 
I'll clean your gun

When we went out it was always with a bang girl
So funny that it ends the very same way
Well let me get dressed up and die young and pretty for you honey
Cos if I’m your latest target
Let me clean your gun you dirty girl

You talk like you had thought about it
But even when you brought about it
I was not so sure that you were talking straight or aiming straight
But now the conversations pointed 
Let me clean that gun you dirty girl
Yeah!

Set your sights a little higher, one in the barrel or one up the spout, 
If we could maybe talk a little more we could just work it out
But let's not use that trigger thang
Yer 'cos if I’m your murder victim
Let me clean that gun you dir-dirty girl
Yeah-yeah!

Let Me Clean Your Gun

Oil It Up

I guess I’m feeling very confused these days with what’s happening in the world. Between this virus, floods, hurricanes, fires, bombings and everything else. What is going on?
The daily confusion of the medias regarding the virus. Wear a mask, don’t wear a mask, confinements or rather semi confinements. All the contradictions. Like most people I’m feeling tired of all this craziness….hence the title….’Crazy Upside Down World’. Enjoy the craziness. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

I had enjoyed hearing some of the great reverb used by
one of our excellent SoundCloud composers, 
Ricardo Da Silva:  https://soundcloud.com/hobbits-odyssey
he advised me on the Spaces 2 reverb from EastWest.

So, I took it for a test ride on this composition.

I started off with what I thought was an original idea,
but it occurred to me how much it kept feeling 
like it could be built on top of Vangelis's score, Alpha.

So, I decided to wander off into an homage of a scant segment of Alpha.

As I was finishing it off, the final chords sounded a lot like
Bach's Toccata in D minor,
...so what the heck...
Since the instrument I had built for this song 
sounded almost good enough to substitute for a baroque organ, 
I just went with it.

Maybe a dash of Ave Maria in a slightly different light, as well.

LA NOSTALGIE 

.......
Retour à la souffrance, in mémoria, réminiscor..
J'ai parcouru tout tes voyages, rouge à lèvres, dentelles et remords
J'effeuille souvenirs un à un, dénude l'épaule du "c'était mieux avant "
Secrets mordus jusqu'au sang
Au filtre de l'affect qui lui aime tant à tricher
La nostalgie c'est le voyage, mais sans jamais y arriver..

La nostalgie (  Extrait )

Remembering my wedding proposal...

COME ON LET’S GO

Let me invite you to fly away
And catch your dreams
We’ll sleep on the moon
And find the mirror of our souls
Don’t be afraid to let go
While you find you don’t belong here no more
Let’s go   let’s go    let’s go   let’s go   let’s go

Come on it’s time to go
Siting on the moon
As I play a tune
To dance with the sun
You might think
That I’m out of my mind
So what!
All I wanna do is to be in my dreams with you
Don’t cry  don’t sigh, don’t’ fear
As we’re near each other our dreams will come true, oh yeah
Come on let’s go, let’s go. Let’s go, let’s go!

There’s no time to look back
My tune is in the air
As the sun smiles come on let’s dance away
Close your eyes and open your mind
All we gotta do is to be in our dreams together.
It’s time to smile
It’s time to get higher
As we go to the sun for our honeymoon, oh yeah!
Come on let’s go, oh yeah  let’s go!

Please don’t wake up
Yesterday becomes tomorrow
And today will never end
Open your eyes and give me your smile
While you see your dreams come true
As you dance with the sun!
Don’t cry, don’t sigh, don’t fear
As we´re near each other our dreams will come true
Oh yeah, come on let’s go

COME ON LETS GO (Alfonso Llorente)

Lyrics
Maybe I’m just a fool
Falling again
Like the autumn rain

Falling again
Like the orange leaves
At my feet

And maybe I’m not afraid
To fall
Like those orange leaves

I’ll fall at your feet
I’ll fall at your feet

Falling again
Like the autumn leaves
At my feet

You’ll fall at my feet
You’ll fall....

FALLING AGAIN by David Dunham (feat. Annie Smart voice/piano)
