Brief conversation with a somewhat upset sentient elevator

Quote Tante Meli: https://soundcloud.com/tante-meli
....something very different - i know :D

DIE GLUT means "the glow" (of fire)
my thoughts behind it were the great good mood when we jumped over almost burned down fires when we were kids. jumping was always a sign of being "brave". although it was never really dangerous ;D

whole translation:
I'M JUMPING OVER THE GLOW
JUST BECAUSE I'M ABLE TO -
I HAVE COURAGE

german:

ICH SPRINGE ÜBER DIE GLUT
WEIL ICH ES KANN
ICH HABE MUT

Die Glut (Dance Remix)

Everyone’s a victim of some shit these days
Lost in their addiction or latest malaise
Or some new craze I’m amazed our days ain’t hazier than this
It seems to me our dreams are broken
Tragic scenes ain’t left unspoken
They’re cracked open in the hoping
other folk can find the bliss
How has it come to this 
But when that like lights on 
It doesn’t feel so wrong 
So I guess I’m gonna have to join the wrong song club
And spill my guts
But that’s the way we’re programmed 
Put the shit aside I’m guessing no man really can decide if it’s really wrong or right any time of day or any time of night

Join the club

A Huge Thank You to my dear collaborator Frans Beelaard. I had send him this song in my version and it came back like this… :)
He played a bass line, 2 guitars, one lead and one rhythm. Also included is an acoustic drum track with 22" Zildjian ride & crash cymbals & tambourine and an acoustic piano track.
On top of that he also mixed and mastered the whole thing.
A great honor and pleasure for me.

The lines (edited, translated, modified, revised, retranslated, reedited…) originally derived from verse shards by two German poets: 
Stefan George (1868-1933), „Albagal“, 1892 and 
Durs Grünbein (born 1962), “Porzellan: Poem vom Untergang meiner Stadt“, 2006 and „Bericht von der Ermordung des Heliogabal durch seine Leibgarde“, 1999
I glued these verse shards together with a refrain.

During my research on porcelain I came along Kin Tsugi, a Japanese form of art, putting broken porcelain back together again. The picture shows such a piece.

Smashed Porcelain

1
Descend once more into the air-raid shelter. 
Observe:
Your ancestors, crowded together, in their final attire,

Comrades, hostages to mass hysteria,
How they curse, sob, 
Just moments ago uninhibited,
When the Führer arrived in the Mercedes of the Messiah.

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Man…
How long ago was that, you ask ?

2
Oh, I’m descending a marble staircase.
A headless body lies in the middle. Once again.
There, the blood of my dear brother seeps out.
I gently gather up my purple train.

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Gee…
How long ago was that, you ask ?

3
Oh, oh, ohh…
Only 
Caesar didn't care ´bout anything. 
As he watched with glee 
When Rome sank to ruins 
Like a tourist from overseas…

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Well…
How long ago was that, you ask ?


4
Why complain, latecomer ? 
The city long gone before you were there 
Ahh, those teary eyes - 
They’re different from grey hair-air-air…

How long ago was that, you ask ? 
Gee…
How long ago was that, you ask ?
Oh folks, I can't say.						

The only Word
For „Gone Forever“
Is „Today“.

Second Chance

Written by James Geer

Over here the customs seem so strange 
Over here my words gets disarranged 
Over here I’m bothered all the day
Over here I want to get away

I’ve been missing
I’ve been missing
Home

Over here the accents are so deep
Over here the hills are way too steep
Over here the forests overgrown 
Over here I’m virtually alone

I’ve been missing
I’ve been missing
Home

Over here

Here are two descriptions suitable for a music generation tool like Suno, tailored to a modern country band sound.

**For "God Country State"**
A powerful, modern country anthem with a stadium-sized sound. The track should have a driving rhythm section and epic, soaring guitars that are dynamic but without any harsh or raspy tones. The vocals are strong and confident, delivering lyrics that are a patriotic tribute to faith, heritage, and the American heartland. Think big choruses and a sound that's ready for a live show.

**For "A Day Like This"**
This is a more reflective, soulful modern country track. It should have a clean, dynamic guitar melody at its core, allowing the vocals to take the lead. The feel is uplifting and peaceful, with lyrics that celebrate finding profound happiness in a simple, natural moment. The production should feel polished and contemporary, but with an acoustic-driven sincerity.

This is an english version of my swedish original song "Jag lever i dej" https://soundcloud.com/patrikneriksson/jag-lever-idej-19vers2-wav?si=3636ee8099cd4743bd842a0e7d11c0bb&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

It's in the early morning
Just before the dawn
You're still in your sleep
And you're breathing slow and deep
Outside your window
I can here the bluebirds sing
Soon comes the daybreak
And it's time for you to wake

I wanna stay with you
In your beatiful dreams
I'm a Genie released from the bottle
And when you're sleeping
I'm living in your dreams
I'm living in your dreams

Your clock starts to ring
But you don't hear a thing
You might be late for the train
I guess that I'm the one to blame
So just get on with the dreaming
Wish anything you like
I promise the best
If you just stay with me in rest

I wanna stay with you
In your beautiful dreams
I'm a Genie released from the bottle
And when your sleeping
I'm living in your dreams
I'm living in your dreams

Wish, wish, wish what you like
I'm living in your dreams
