Easyhard

Shalom!

I’ve been struggling to find the right roads to take all my life 
I detour to the left, then I detour to the right 
I travel on for miles thinking I finally got it right 
Then I have to double back when I realise 
And on the journey back I take another detour 
I’m even struggling to find the place I started from 
But there’s plenty more roads to choose from 
So on I go 

I’ve topped up on my fuel and now I’m heading for the shore 
To get my fix of salty air to keep my lungs pure 
I pull up at the beach but I can’t get out the door 
I think I wreaked it when I kicked it in the night before 
So I wind the window down and breathe as deep as I can 
Convince myself I’m satisfied and hit the road again 
But I’m still struggling to find them roads 
‘Cause the only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin 


I keep on burning fuel while I’m burning daylight 
Make a little pit stop, pick up the love of my life 
I always did get further with her by my side 
I told her, buckle up, might be a bumpy ride 
We made a little headway in the middle of the night 
But I think I turned left again, I should have turned right 
I warned her long ago about these roads 
I said, the only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin 
Yeah, the only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin 
The roads to ruin 

The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin 
Only roads I’ve known are these roads 
The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin 

The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin 
Only roads I’ve known are these roads 
The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin

Waning Gibbous

When I appeared at the end of the 1980s as a wannabe- Klaus Kinski and "party scare" with Rimbaud and Villon texts on birthday celebrations, I always had the wonderful poem by the German cabaret artist and writer Hanns Dieter Hüsch "Ich sing` für die Verrückten" (I sing for the Crazy) in my repertoire. 
That is a long time back, but a few weeks ago I was jamming on guitar and percussion with some members of the "Berliner Irrenoffensive" as part of my voluntary work. And in this creative and crazy atmosphere this poem came to my mind again. I translated central parts of it into English and added some small language elements matching the melody and the sound of the song.   
The result was this track, with which I want to bring the deeply sensitive and timeless lyrics of Hanns Dieter Hüsch into memory and even more into the world. And with which I would like to contribute to even more understanding for the often so hard fate of people with serious mental disorders.   

Lyrics:

I Sing for the Crazy

I sing for the crazy
the sideways twisted
those who fall forward one day
unnoticed by everyone

Sit in their kitchens
not to be of use
to any world view

Who roam cities for days on end
without any sense
who throw themselves from the steeple
spice the world up with laughter

And for death in time 
ring their own bells

Those who hurry with trains
to stay nowhere too long

Who know every farewell at close hand

Because they call life goodbye

Who are hired out on the ships
and sing songs with the kids

Those who seek and never find
and disappear from the face of the earth at night

The guards are ready with jackets
in order to pack
the stray ones in the right way

Jumping friendly on roofs
and who die
In the great deserts

The skull already full
of broken pieces

The sand will soon cover all traces

Who push their way through
the raw thicket

Sore and sick rubbed by madness
who look through the jungle of all souls

All that dizziness on their back
I sing fort he crazy

I sing for the crazy
sing for the crazy
sing for them all

Sing for the crazy
sing for their peace 
sing for their souls

Aaaaaaah
sing for the crazy
sing for them all

I Sing For The Crazy

Another collaboration with my son Freddy.
How to deal with chronic pain? In 2013 I made the last attempt to combat recurring physical pain with tablets and various treatments. Everything did not help and actually only made it worse.- Until I understood on a meditative walk that it is about accepting this pain unconditionally, to see it as a friend and good companion, who comes to visit me again and again, especially when I have pushed something away or ignored it.
Freddy, who experienced this time, accompanied me during the recording of this track on the acoustic guitar.  

Lyrics in English:

I am not alone

I'm totally in pain 
burning, pulling, dragging me around
can't find a way out, these claws
make me faint mute

I've got nothing under control 
I'm out of hand 
My ego begins to derail
I'm like a sinking ship

I'm not alone 
I'm not alone 
I may be in need
but far from dead

even the deepest night 
didn't kill me 
I may be damaged 
but not totally ruined

I'm not alone, no, no, not alone

The next pain attack this morning 
the healing hope is thereby destroyed 
I'm angry, trying to rip out the place of pain in me
my life doesn't seem worth anything to me anymore 

Friends, partners, nobody can help me
the compassion is only fanning the pain
all I have left is to sit and wait
until this cup passes on to me

I'm not alone 
I'm not alone 
I may be in need
but far from dead

even the deepest night 
didn't kill me 
I may be damaged 
but not totally ruined

I'm not alone, no, no, not alone

Deutscher Originaltext:

Ich bin nicht allein

Bin total beherrscht von starken Schmerzen, 
brennen, ziehen, zerren an mir rum
finde keinen Ausweg, diese Krallen
machen mich ohnmächtig-stumm

Habe nichts mehr unter Kontrolle
habe nichts mehr im Griff 
mein Ich beginnt zu entgleisen
bin wie ein sinkendes Schiff

Ich bin nicht allein
Ich bin nicht allein
Ich bin zwar in Not
aber noch lang nicht tod

Selbst die tiefste Nacht 
hat mich nicht umgebracht 
ich bin zwar lädiert
aber nicht total ruiniert

Ich bin nicht allein, nein, nein, nicht allein

Heute morgen schon die nächste Schmerzattacke 
die Heilungs-Hoffnung ist damit zerstört 
bin zornig, will den Schmerzort in mir rausreißen
mein Leben erscheint mir nichts mehr wert 

Freunde, Partner, keiner kann mir helfen
das Mitleid facht die Schmerzen nur noch an
bleibt mir nur noch zu sitzen und zu warten
bis dieser Kelch an mir voübergeht

Ich bin nicht allein
Ich bin nicht allein 
Ich bin zwar in Not
aber noch lang nicht tod

Selbst die tiefste Nacht 
hat mich nicht umgebracht 
bin zwar lädiert
aber nicht total ruiniert

Ich bin nicht allein, nein, nein, nicht allein

Ich Bin Nicht Allein (I Am Not Alone)(Karlit-O-Kay & Freddy) (English Lyrics in Intro)

Who can't remember the first passionate kiss? This song invites you to do just that. With my sound and lyrics I try to describe how I experienced my first deep kiss. One or the other will have experienced it in a similar or in a different way. 

And when I kiss my wife today, it is wonderfully like the first time again and again: unique, deeply familiar, devotional, suspension of me and you....

I sing the text once in German because this is my most familiar language and once in French because this is the language with which I can best express intimate and loving tenderness.  

Lyrics in English:

The first Kiss

Just you and me
nobody else there
nothing that stands between us anymore

Totally close
totally there
both completely naked
skin soft on skin

Look at us without fear 
deep trust
the world is gone 
we're getting closer

Feel me on you
in me and everywhere

Delicate, soft, 
lust, passion, intimacy

Outro: 

The first kiss 
The first kiss
The first kiss
The first kiss

Whispered to the end:

The first kiss

Deutscher Originaltext:

Der erste Kuß

Nur Du und ich
niemand sonst da
nichts mehr, was zwischen uns steht

Vollkommen nah
vollkommen da
beide ganz nackt
Haut zart an Haut

Schaun` uns an ohne Angst 
tiefes Vertrauen
die Welt ist verschwunden 
Wir kommen uns näher

Spür` Dich auf mir
in mir und überall

Zart, weich, 
Lust, Leidenschaft, Innigkeit

Outro: 

Der erste Kuß 
Der erste Kuß
Der erste Kuß
Der erste Kuß

Zum Ende geflüstert:

Der erste Kuß

Le premier Baiser (The first Kiss)

Le Premier Baiser (The First Kiss)(English Lyrics in the Intro)

In my experience, the non-sexual, purely friendly love between a heterosexual man and a heterosexual woman is far too rare. In this somewhat older song I sing of such a friendly, almost sibling love for one of my oldest girlfriends, whom I have known for over 30 years.

Lyrics in English:

Angel heart

Angel heart 
for 30 years now
we're both a friendly couple

Angel heart 
always black hair
smoky deep voice, euphoria

Angel heart
intense and unapproachable 
You're just there, and you'll be gone in a minute

Angel heart 
tropics, exoticism, jungle woman

Angel heart 
You are always clear in chaos
sibling band that never tears 

Angel heart
undiscovered movie star, driven, constantly under power

Angel heart
one likes to rub against you 
living dreams that others forbid themselves

Angel heart 
bizarre, extreme, never mediocre

Angel heart
thousand colors, brightly painted park
nothing really applies to you

Angel heart
never grey, no baby blue
sometimes exhausting, but always stimulating provocative

Angel heart 
hidden church child
deep longing 
to places where there are only angels

Angel heart 
dress divided into many parts, torn and yet inexplicably whole


Deutscher Originaltext:

Angel heart

Angel heart 
schon seit 30 Jahr`n
sind wir beide ein Freundschafts-Paar

Angel heart
immer schwarzes Haar
rauchig tiefe Stimme, Euphorie

Angel heart
intensiv und unnahbar 
noch noch da und schon gleich wieder fort

Angel heart 
Tropen, Exotik, Dschungelfrau

Angel heart 
im Chaos immer wieder klar
Geschwisterband, das nie zerreißt 

Angel heart
unentdeckter Kinostar, getrieben, ständig unter Strom

Angel heart 
gerne reibt man sich an Dir 
lebst Träume, die Andere sich verbieten

Angel heart 
bizarr, extrem, nie Mittelmaß

Angel heart
tausend Farben, bunter Park
nichts trifft wirklich auf Dich zu

Angel heart
niemals grau, Kein Babyblau
manchmal anstrengend, doch immer anregend provokant

Angel heart 
verstecktes Kirchenkind
tiefe Sehnsucht 
nach Orten wo nur Engel sind

Angel heart 
vielgeteiltes Kleid, zerrissen und doch unerklärbar ganz

Angel heart
