Oh Hans, these songs tug so delicately at the heartstrings with threads of the purest gold...

Grabado en 2024   
No quería andar                            Em-A5-C
Con tan poca luz 
Aunque no quiera mirar 
Siempre veo esa cruz 
Sí tratas de llegar 
A cortar el dolor 
Es tu parte animal
Cuando dice que no 
Quema el lujo                      A5
Y quema la espera                      Em
Ahí afuera                              C-A5       
Vas por lo que queda                Em

AHI AFUERA

in recognition of mental health awareness week..............the blues parade has often passed my way.........peace & cheers for having a listen........



hear that rumble over the hill
shaking the glass from the window sills 
hide the money and lock the tills
here comes the blue parade

in the distance hear that noise
no need to be alarmed there boys
just keep it straight and hold your course
it's just the blue parade

it'll start real early, break of dawn
won't get much sleep from the night before
better nail down the shutters and deck the halls
here comes the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to the pipers song
hands get sweaty yea it won't take long
here comes the blue parade

you might meet someone, head hung low
not much to say nowhere to go
together you can try and mend your souls
among the blue parade

you might be strangers when you start 
when the dust settles you'll never part
cos you made a pact with the bleeding hearts
now you're part of the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to the pipers song
heart starts thumping yea it won't take long
here comes the blue parade

step in time march 4 to the floor
people be staring, don't matter no more
cos you sold the sink and the kitchen door
to join the blue parade

hear them blow their whistles. colors bright
seems to me to be a hell of a night
but if you look inside you'll get a fright
yea that's the blue parade

aint the time to think if what you're doing's right
just stay in line and keep your mouth shut tight
you're about to take the ride of your life
here comes the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to that pipers song
god help me where did i go wrong
to end up in the blue parade
here comes the blue parade

The Blue Parade

Bury Tomorrow (démo)

Where do you ?

Chione - Reverie in E minor

This is my 'small' gentle version of my song 'No Enemy'. It's got just two guitars, vocals, slapped knees, and a blackbird singing.

It's a peaceful song about someone who spent years full of hate. When the hate fades they feel empty, because all that hating had kept them entertained. But, in the song the scary emptiness the person feels is beautiful and full of possibilities.

No Enemy (small version)

lyrics Google-translation:

Dreams sometimes never want to go away.
Pure fantasy
Which, unfortunately, somehow,
numbs everything else
and in the end, nothing remains.

Like a star in the deepest night,
You've managed, with strange power,
That I lose myself
in you.

You come like a white glow.
Stride by and smile softly into the world.
You will always be.
Like the light, the air, a life I seek.
And you take in everything you touch with your wonderful gaze.
You only leave me behind.
You only leave me behind.

I run after you,
but your trail
Blows away, and wherever I am,
Only a breath of you remains.
I freeze and search for you so much.

Why doesn't the gentle light warm me?
That your eyes deny no one else.
As if they were suns.
Just not for me.

You come like a white glow
You walk by and smile softly at the world
You will always be
Like the light, the air, a life I seek
And you take in everything you touch with your wonderful gaze
You leave only me behind
You leave only me behind

This is a fun country music track called "Running After Bacon".

Running After Bacon (Country Dance)

The Energy of Youth

I'm walking in the tall grass
Cool to my feet
Got nowhere to go
I got nowhere to be

O just to be boys again
O to be boys again

Help me up on this bicycle
Point me downhill
A hunert miles an hour
O what a thrill

O just to be boys again
O to be boys again

Maybe just a scent on the breeze
But it's all coming back to me
The sun suspended never to set
All been lost to me now, and yet...

A whole store full o' treasures
Penny candy and gum
I never knew shoplifting would be so fun

O just to be boys again
O to be boys again

O that I could lose all I've become
O that I could find what I once was

O just to be boys again
O just to be boys again
Oh to be boys

O To Be Boys Again

This song was composed for piano by Hitoshi Yasui, chairhouse of Tokyo, who was generous in allowing me to arrange and record it for guitars. It is a song from his "Piano Ten Thousand Leaves" project. His mission “is to create gentle, calm, peaceful, beautiful, relaxing piano music and share it with all human beings." He writes, records and posts one beautiful piano composition each day. This song is number 1990 from May 27, 2019. 

Thanks to Hitoshi for his daily musical watercolors and thanks for allowing me to adapt this. The original piano version by chairhouse can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/if-she-talked-to-him-one-more-time-1990-by-chair-house-05272019

if she talked to him

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...
