it frequently occurs that I have to face up to a hundred of attempts when working on virtual vocals for my stuff – though I created a particular persona (defined in many details such as voice character and stuff) in order to work with a ‘familiar’ singer. anyway, this time it actually took almost 250 working versions and the entire amount of my suno pro credits to direct the machine towards a vocal performance matching with my musically concept, the backing tracks and even more: my massive thoughts and emotions in terms of topic. I was looking for a genre or a way to capture a story going back a thousand of years – and going on and on and on. everyday. around the planet. becoming ever worse, especially nowadays…

Leben über Leben
Alle gerade eben
Zwischen zwei Sekunden
Ausgelöscht verschwunden
 
Grauenhafter Schrecken
Eingestürzte Decken
Ängste, Schreie, Schmerzen
Lauter tote Herzen
 
Wimmern und Entsetzen
Kinderkörperfetzen
Reste von Figuren
Wie zertretene Uhren
 
Graue Trümmerorte
Blut und Ohnmachtsworte
Schneidend tiefer Kummer
Eine Opfernummer
  
Es wird weiter, weitergehen
Weiter über Leichen 
Ist noch nicht genug geschehen
Wird uns niemals reichen
Alles wird so weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter
  
Wünsche, Pläne, Ziele
Sorgenfreie Spiele
Freude, Lachen, Scherze
Alles nur noch Schwärze
 
Atmen, Leben spüren
Sehen und berühren
Träumen, küssen, lieben
Nichts davon geblieben
 
Unendliches Sterben
Grauen und Verderben
Bomben, Morden, Brennen
Es Konflikte nennen
 
Schlachten wie von Sinnen
Siegen, nie gewinnen
Ewig gleiche Sache
Männer, Macht und Rache
  
Es wird weiter, weitergehen
Weiter über Leichen 
Ist noch nicht genug geschehen
Wird uns niemals reichen
Alles wird so weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter
 
Es wird immer wieder gehen
Für ein Meer aus Tränen
Alle haben hingesehen
Niemand muss sich schämen
So wird alles weiter weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter

Untold lives
All just
Between two seconds
Destroyed, erased

Terrible fright
Collapsed ceilings
Fears, screams, pain
Shredded hearts

Whimpering and horror
Children's body scraps
Remains of limbs
Like trampled watches

Gray places of rubble
Blood and fainting words
Cutting deep sorrow
A victim number

It will go on and on
Over dead bodies 
Not enough has happened yet
Will never be enough for us
Everything will continue like this
On and on and on

Wishes, plans, goals
Worry-free games
Joy, laughter, jokes
Everything is just blackness

Breathe, feel life
See and touch
Dream, kiss, love
Nothing remained of it

Infinite dying
Terror and ruin
Bombs, murder, burning
Named conflict

Slaughtering insanity
Triumphing, never winning
Always the same thing
Men, power and revenge

It will go on and on
Over dead bodies 
Not enough has happened yet
Will never be enough for us
Everything will continue like this
On and on and on

It will happen again and again
For a sea of tears
All eyes are on it
Nobody has to be ashamed
This is how everything will continue
On and on and on


Es wird weiter weitergehen

Is there any season as young as summertime? Is there any feeling as great as youth? Is there anything more worth protecting than a summer as we know it from our youth?

Still
This fragrance 
Like only
Summer air

Cloudless
Weightless
Wonderland
Life-size

Everything can be
Simply
Everywhere 
Sunshine

Warm light
A perfect world 
Sky high
Blue tent

Nobody knows
Or do they?
Whether and how
Long it will last?

Everyone sees
What happens
Everyone has
Got it

Never again like this
Never again like this
Everything is over
And over

Always young
Best time
All's well
Lightness

Popsicles
Convertible
Soul laughs
Just like that

Can do anything
Free choice
Tomorrow is
Doesn't matter

Nobody knows
Or do they?
Whether and how
Long it will last?

Everyone sees
What happens
Everyone has
Got it

Never again like this
Never again free
Everything is over
And over

No more good
Sun glow
Heat red
Hot death

Dry field
Desert world
Summerland 
Burnt down

Summerland 
burnt down

Sommerland abgebrannt

Please excuse me for coming up with something new so quickly.

Tomorrow marks the 22nd anniversary of the death of French actress Marie Trintignant, who was beaten to death by her boyfriend, Bertrand Cantat, on 26 July 2003.

Some people will have seen the Netflix documentary about the case and will therefore also be familiar with the media and public debate at the time. This was a broad and heated discussion, as if the categorisation of such a brutal killing was a matter of opinion.

After that, one might have gained the impression that those who prioritise conservative values and traditional social and family roles tend to view domestic violence as an interpersonal tragedy rather than an unequivocal act of violence. ‘Arguments happen in even the best families.’ – ‘Doesn't an argument that gets out of hand often come from both sides?’ – ‘Did the victim overstep the mark and provoke an overreaction instead of making a diplomatic concession?’…

22 years have passed since then. In that time, #MeToo has emerged, alongside all kinds of discussions.

A lot of noise. A lot of media. A lot of talking-is-the-new-doing. But nothing has changed, apart from the number of reported cases of domestic violence, which continues to rise to this day. Whether this is because more and more offences are being reported instead of concealed is massively irrelevant:

In Germany, one woman or girl is beaten, abused or victimised by her partner or a male family member every single minute of every 24-hour day. According to official reporting statistics, this only happens every three minutes. What is clear, however, is that someone dies from their injuries almost every day.

The murder of Marie Trintignant is repeated every day.

There are many explanations for this. Psychological, social, political, and personal, to name a few. After all, we are living in an age of digital polyglotism where everyone has an answer to everything. Somehow, what you can explain is easier to accept. So, let’s talk about acceptance.

The number of car thefts registered in Germany each year amounts to around one sixth of the reported cases of domestic violence. The number of domestic burglaries is less than half.

What would happen if the number of domestic burglaries doubled, or if the number of car thefts increased sixfold? There might also be discussions about the thieves' psychological state of emergency or their possible negligence, provocation or shared guilt. But first and foremost, everyone would agree:

'This has to stop! We must stop it by any means necessary! … Zero acceptance!"

Is a stolen car, despite insurance reimbursement, really more painful, shocking and unacceptable than a woman being dragged through her flat by her hair?

Google translation:

I won't let you rest
It's the only reason you're hitting me
To get revenge for all your frustration
You just have to do so

It's not even good for you
But what are you going to do with your anger?
It's all my fault
I'm pushing your patience to the limit

Your pain should be mine
I deserve to feel it
You give it my face
So it can break me instead of you

What nobody sees or hears
It destroys the perfect world
Whenever it bangs
I wanted it that way

Only because of me do you see red
And because of me, you beat me to death
Only because of me do you see red
And because of me, you beat me to death

I would have liked to live
How I felt, how I moved freely.
One last pain, one moment
Then it's over, happy end

Ich hätte gern gelebt

This is a track that Jeff and Mahan Mahan had started and almost finished by the time I took a listen.   When I did , I loved it.

lyrics by Stonerjazz:

ponder and ponder if you wanna
speculations bout meanings and measures and structure
of time and the present
and yet it remains completely unknown
made no dent in the fabric
of monstrous illusion
collusion of unseen forces
nibbling away with whispers
while meekly we, perish, never knowing
what we're feeding
believers believing bleeding rivers of remorse
and of course, the horses don;t ponder for a moment
the nature of being--

Nature Of Their Being - w/ Stonerjazz and Mahan 💀 Mahan

hello friends, since I'm taking a break from german lyrics, I'd like to try something I know nothing about that will probably backfire: english lyrics (I wish I were just a fraction as talented as my fabulous friend terry reeves). 

I've chosen an instrumental piece I wrote 13 years ago as my very first upload to soundcloud under the name roth whyler. at the time, I had in mind the story of a woman who remembers the love of her life to whom she never confessed her feelings: her boyfriend's girlfriend. I had the machine create a playback based on my original piece as a test. after heaps of attempts, the result expressed such weird chaos of emotions that I left everything as it was. 

why bluegrass? because I just massively love the longing way of its dealing with 3/4 time.

hopefully reasonably correct english:

Did you know that I loved you?

I am walking down Shepherd’s Alley
Yet I know that dreams never last
Every step will tell me a story 
After millions of stories have passed

Since those days when life felt like dancing
To the sultans of Friday night’s swing
As we raced through times full of madness
In the loop of an endless spring

You and Davie, me and Sebastian
Two and two, an immortal four
Til there was a growing sensation
Ever harder to ignore 
Such an overwhelming emotion
Never felt such before
While it got evermore

Did you know?

Did you know that I loved you?
I don’t think, babe, that you knew
That I secretly loved you
I so deeply did and still I do love you

Did you know that I loved you?
Much too late now to tell you
Was so crazy about you
A quiet truth and it’s still true

Things went on and we finally broke up
All our dreams sank into the past
Only one remained, never gave in
Still too strong to ignore 
Still an overwhelming emotion
Never felt such before
Will remain evermore

Did you know that I loved you?
I don’t think, babe, that you knew
That I secretly loved you
I so deeply did and still I do love you

Did you know that I loved you?
Much too late now to tell you
Was so crazy about you
A quiet truth and it’s still true

Did you know that I loved you?
I don’t think, babe, that you knew
That I secretly loved you
I so deeply did and still I do love you

I will always, always do.

Did you know that I loved you?

This sweet song was penned by Nat and has a country nuance telling the simple story of the lasting purity of true love.

Lyrics: I Could Never Walk Away

Shadows fall on this broken road
My tears flow like a heavy load
I didn't come this far to let you go
To let us burn without letting you know 

The seasons may change 
But my heart won't wane
The miles between us won't dull this light
It shines like a beacon in darkest night

No matter the distance, 
My heart remains...If love's a fire, 
Then we're a roaring flame 
In spite of all that we've been through
How the goodbyes tore us in two,  
I could never walk away ... from you.

Holdin' on to the memory of you 
Oh I'll be strong, and let it see me through
Let every memory of our moments fill my mind
Until the day I hold your hand in mine

And even though the world may change 
My heart remains the same
The miles between us won't dull this light
It shines like a beacon in the darkest night

No matter the distance
My heart remains...If love's a fire, 
Then we're a roaring flame 
In spite of all that we've been through
And how the goodbyes tore us in two, 
I could never walk away ... from you.

No matter the distance, My heart remains..

I Could Never Walk Away

no, I’m not an AI enthusiast, but I use AI as a singer I've been looking for all my life. I'm a guitarist and, in my spare time, a passionate songwriter and producer from hamburg, germany.
this page is a place to share some german lyrics written by me over the past few decades and sung by virtual vocalists from  suno 4.0 and, more recently, suno 4.5+. these are based on my compositions, pre-recorded backing tracks and 'prompts' to help the machine get half way close to my imagination.
thank you for listening, and for your indulgence with regard to the literal translations, which prove that there is a fine line between translation and interpretation...
