Hello Piedpiper

A better recording of a song i already uploaded before. 
Hope you like it. 

Life In Autarky
sell your boat sell your house
set the compass to north west
then take the trail, you know 
the one we used to play on when we where young

leave phone and the car
we didn't need them back then
we re having all we need, 
we can find food if we go deep into the woods. 
trust me on this one we ll have it good. 

But before, before you go.
look out, for no one can know
But before before you go
Look out for no one else could know.  


sell your ids and credit cards
we ll live of the crops we plant
and trade them in the city
we can get the goods we need, the books we want

we ll build a farmhouse and a birdhouse
with cats n dogs n chicken
that will lay some healthy eggs
if no one comes n distributes the poison pill. 
no one ever comes to us but still


we wont need no swimming pools nor parks
I can hunt the game we need
and wrap it up to dry
cause we have space to do the stuff we want its our sight.
no one ever bothers you at night. 




Life In Autarky (Demo #2)

A song about leaving home, and finding that yet it hadnt been that bad. 

Who told you so?
Sally sits on the boardwalk singing, offering
Men and women pass by their staring 
bottles in  their hands
She still believes in  what she has to say
and counting change in her roadhouse bag
she never dreamed of what her fathers had
thats the guilt sliding off her back

who told you so?
the bottle in the hands
your life is like so n so  
who told you to go
Bottle in your hand
singing on the streets la la lalai

Many told her how to lead her life  but she kept wondering
packed her stuff and her babyboy
there was noone was there to help
she often thinks about the neighborhood
bout how her kin was so neat and clean
now its too late to take the train back to you
she's ashamed of all that she's seen.

sometimes she's  lonely
all by herself
awakes in the morning alone

who told you so?
the bottle in the hands
your life is like so n so  
who told you to go
Pistol in your hand
singing on the streets la la lalai

2.Life In Autarky

The Final mix version of "Anecdotes"

A song about the winter and it s pessimism in the peoples heads. a song about not forgetting what was good before, even though at times not everything is perfect.

I tried something new rythmwise, changing from normal to halftime at some point. But you ll here what i mean. Also the first electirc guitar i ever used for my songs played by my dear Friend Lukas who also supports me at concerts.

Anecdotes
There were so many times, when i felt so tired
ready to throw it all away
sometimes i look inside and start off my mind
and here i am once again.
For a while i was trying, I was searching
for things that i dont get.
And if you wouldnt mind, i d tell you some kind
of anecdotes of earlier this year
Watching the sun go down
Each single day i d note that things have turned out good
Paddling on boats down lakes
and waterfalls I wont forget those afternoons
Chained to the oars working night shifts
while blisters look crack fireworks.
All the time on the streets i see dull lights
pending in the shade
and the people in the lines of the travel agencies
are psychopaths in camouflage
complaining constantly they are like me
but then remember me
and they remember me.... that i was......
watching the sun go down
each single day i d note that things have turned out good
paddling on boats down lakes and waterfalls
i won´t forget those afternoons

war
Country Folk Pop Acoustic Guitar Indie

Red lights flash we see them come
vengeance what they seek
sending us to kingdom come
cause that is where we meet.

waltzing on the world today
thought you could escape
they come for us, they make us stay
for debts and loans we ow them cant repay.

lonely when the kindom comes
conquered lands, our homes are lost

tanks as big as mountains come
squalling with their hearts
vast n dauntin is the force
that creeps and tears the ones to blame apart

onely when the kindom comes

conquered lands, our homes are lost
pleas forgive,we beg you lord.
But he s unarmed and he cant talk

waltzing on the world today
think we cant escape

War (mixed by Smallfishrecordings Uk)

Uptempo Folk song about the struggle of talking sometimes even though it seems to be so easy

The Taciturn Fool

count 1 2 3
and then i will be there probably
at your house
But damn i fell on my face again, and again. 

my words stumble like 
that guy in "smokey and the bandit"
with sally field, like rosco p coltrane
tried it´s best but could never get the duke boys.

But i do, you know, hold on, and let me try this somehow.
weary the days and nights, i ve spent alone in this town. 
this time you know, i might, i may just say it right now
but you got tired of waiting now. 

Now, i would want to shrink
just like, kevin peter hall could eventually
and sneak trough tiny holes.
But lord i fell on my mouth more

words should come out  like
the kicks of david carradine or as fast as jaime sommers
 like nick mancuso in stingray who always solves the case
like sam spade

But i do, you know, hold on, let me try this it somehow.
weary the days, i spent on roads i told you about. 
this time you know, i might, i may just say it right now
then you turn, and walk away, cause you got tired of waiting for me again.
