A journey of empowerment with her new single, "Need In My Chest."

Let "Need In My Chest" be your anthem of empowerment as you navigate the complexities of anxiety and embrace the journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Need In My Chest

my track praises the nap .... in this case that of a minstrel, with in the middle of the piece a musical phrase taken from the time of the French Renaissance (around 1530 ) and who was very popular "Une jeune fillette"

 "A young girl".  serves as the musical theme in the film "Tous les matins du monde" by Alain Corneau.

LA SIESTE DU MENESTREL.

11/01/25 I pulled this track from my soundcloud to simplify my channel but now it's time to post it again since the album has been released. 

A HUGE THANK YOU again for all of the streams so far on this song and for these amazing comments, re-posts, likes, and plays. It is so unbelievable to me actually. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to listen to my music.  If you should choose to buy the entire album, you can get it as a download on bandcamp.

I pretty much wrote this tune in one sitting as a mantra song in itself.  I really do have "mantra cards" and I really "don't have much money these days". If you listen to the song you'll know what I mean. It would seem that for me, this song is even more necessary for my psyche than it was when I wrote it.

Lyrics:
Made up 
Some mantra cards
And I carry them close everywhere I go
I can win I can change 
I can see myself reaching further

Don't have 
Much money these days
But I'm rich with a spirit that never gives up
I'm in this forever
As long as it takes I'll be dreamin'

On and on the world spins 
And here my only life to live
What will it be 
From now as I look forward?

It's all about 
The choices I make
What I do where I go for the rest of my days
I’ll learn from the past 
But I'll only look back 
When I'm older

No one's gonna take my dreams away
No one’s gonna change my resolution 
I want only memories
And no regrets yeah
I'm the one 
Who's gonna  make it right
Oh I'm the only 
Who's gonna live this life
So I'm holdin out this time 
For something more
Reaching further than I have before

I need 
My mantra cards
Seems the voices of fear 
They keep pulling me down
Faraway from the crowd 
I must learn what it means to be 
Silent

Cause only in my head 
A wall can turn into an open door
If I can see it 
I can walk right through it
While all around me life goes on 
I hear the beat of my own drum 
I listen 
And I know I'm getting closer

No one's gonna take my dreams away
No one's  gonna change my resolution
I want only memories 
And no regrets, yeah

I'm  the one 
I'm gonna make it right
Oh I'm the one 
I'm gonna live this life
So I'm  holdin' on this time
You see I'm holdin' on 
This time for something more
Reaching further 
Than I have before
I can see myself 
Reaching further

What to say about Maximilian?
There are so many things to be told: a lifetime of 24 years, full of special moments, joys, fears, sorrows, worries, hopes, dreams, ups, downs, progress, regress, searching, finding, winning, losing, restlessness, peace...
His life had begun with an extremely difficult birth, almost as if the world didn’t want him. They told us he had a life-threatening infection, there were probably holes in his lungs and he obviously had no kidneys. In total, his chances of surviving were exceedingly slim. However, after endless weeks of both despair and hope, he overcame the infection, the diagnosis of holes in his lungs turned out to be totally wrong and they even discovered a kidney.  Just one maybe but at least it worked perfectly.  His journey into existence had begun.
As he grew, so did the never-ending nightmare of problems, challenges and battles, until we began to wonder what could possibly happen next.  Through it all, Max took every opportunity to accumulate extreme experiences - never hiding, always   seeking.  For that, we loved him even more…and even more it broke our hearts that we couldn’t help him find what he was looking for.
But suddenly, as the Summer of 2011 dawned, his troubles seemed to merely fade away.  Was he just arriving in life, coming of age, finding his place in society?  To be honest, we hadn’t the faintest idea.  But it was abundantly clear that, having always been an underdog, that same unwelcoming world had simply started to like and respect him.  He began to realise his many talents, enjoying his job as never before, finally becoming something he had never been - happy.
Fast forward to the gorgeous Summer evening of June 28th, the eve of a 4-week vacation to which he had been looking forward so very much.  A smile on his face, he said he was in the mood to go jogging, something he loved. Sometimes, he ran and ran for ages.  He’d been gone about 3 hours, quite a long time even for him, so Carina called his phone and he answered, cheerfully telling her not to worry and assuring her he’d be home very soon.  Seconds after the call, out of the blue, he collapsed.  A pulmonary embolism.  They told us he died instantly. 
Max, we have no words for what happened, nor for the eternal gratitude we feel for every single second of your life.  We do know we will never stop loving you.”
(Hans & Carina Albers)

Small chance of survival, words from the first day
Stretching all emotions not a single which way
Asking whys and reasons, a chance to breathe long
Heartbreaking moments, hopes remained strong

Such a short distance, but a life running miles
Bring every sensation, fear to a million smiles
Experience not forgotten, continuous hug of care      
Born with fighting spirit, giving back more to share

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, never to forget

Every challenge building, inner muscles to be felt
Secret ways to be happy, never question hand dealt         
Complication of thinking to find a new sentence 
Pathways to friendships, dreams of acceptance

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, never to forget

A vision full of truth with strength to admire
Finding a hidden talent, past helping to aspire 
No journey of distance could prevent direction
A phone call assurance became last connection

It’s hard to find words, express feelings remaining 
Deep down inside shell, empty, sad, self-complaining 
But we will never forget our boy hero from birth
Brought love and kindness, past and future unblurred

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, will never forget
24 years of love…

lyrics

You need me too
You need me too
Don't act like you do
When you know it's true
You need me too 
You need me too
Yes you do

It's like a light switch
You can turn it down
It's like a light switch
You turn it all around
It's like a light switch
You can turn it down
Turn it all around

light switch
