Cool beats and love that panning and knocked back rap!

awesome vocal and production Ian man !! sound fab !!! :))

Next level production Ian, this is really fresh and different for you -- sounding awesome!

I like the electro forward style but still with your beats in a more minimal way. Would love to hear more tracks like this

Zeitgeist - Spirit of the times. [lyrics at the bottom]
When I was very young I wrote rock and pop songs. Finally after many years of instrumental music I returned to composing a song with the help of @Xian3 who wrote beautiful lyrics and provided a great vocal interpretation and whom I thank for his willingness and enthusiasm.
It's apparently a love song but it also speaks of existential restlessness, of fear in its double value of paralyzing or strengthening the life force.
The collaboration had only one difficult moment when, due to a linguistic misunderstanding, I misunderstood a joke and thought Xian was a Lazio team fan (I swear it's all true)... We came close to an international crisis!!! :)))
As you can listen, to make the collaboration more "thrilling" he decided to write the first part in German, which I don't speak. He assured me that the meaning is more or less similar to the second part in English... But who knows... Let's hope so! :))
[If anyone who speaks German reads anything suspicious against Roma team, please let me know, thanks.] :))))

Zeitgeist

Im toten Winkel, da haust
Ein Schatten, der mich immer wieder verfolgt
Jedes mal, wenn ich arbeiten will
Ein Seufzer des Zweifels
Fällt in mein Ohr
Das ist nicht immer unbedingt schlecht,
Doch es macht nervös,
Sieh,

Kann nicht ohne dich sein
Kann nicht ohne dich leben,
Du tiefste Angst
Kann nicht ohne dich gehen,
Du tiefste Angst

Behind the blind spot there lurks
A shadow that is always following me
Everytime i want do my work
A sweet sigh of doubt
Just drops in my ear
This is not necessarily bad,
But It bothers me,
See

I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you , now
My deepest fear
I can’t leave without you, now
My deepest fear

How i wish, you were not here
I would not shed a single tear
I would
I would

Can’t you leave without me ?
Can’t you just let me sleep in ?
My deepest fear
Would you live without me, now
My deepest fear
Would you ?
Wouldn’t you ?
Would you, please ?
Would you, please ?

Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist - with Xian3

A past lover keeps showing up in my dreams and reminding me of my failures.
From my new LP " Low Profile". My best tracks from 2023. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I get my melancholy straight from the IV drip
A Xanax, a red eyed flight on the sky ship
That's when you appeared
I'd been gorging myself on 
Televised violence
It's like synconized swimming
You were grinning while the plane was rapidly descending
(You smiled all the way down)
The atmosphere was colorless
Odorless
Void of all surface and all texture
I'm reveling in my psychosis
You reminded me I never finished my
Junkyard magnum opus
You still show up in my dreams

We were entering into 
An impressionist painted landscape
With a language that we just didn't understand
You reminded me that I'm a big believer
In blindly believing
And I need to start drinking in
A little bit more in what I'm seeing
We're like suburban dadaist
Coming in, out of the rain
My mind was racing
Like those 808 beats
There all the same
Well, that's the way the Goddamn wheel rolls
You headed off into the night
You never told me to change the angle of the light
You still show up in my dreams

"You never even had it even when you had it your hands"
You've got to bring it right down
To where the sideways ends in the light
I'm digging down deep
I'm digging down slow
I'm striking oil 
Or the fires down below
You still show up in my dreams

You Still Show Up In My Dreams

Peace Message

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

LYRICS
I remember growing up and playing out in the yard
Skipping ropes and lollypops
Before our life became too hard
In our teens there were no toys
I went with girls and you went with boys
But then you moved away and we lost touch
And you enjoyed life far too much

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

I gotta letter in the mail
It said please help I'm in some jail
Got busted and there's no way out
But I will die if you don't help
I went to see what I could do
Paid your bail and got you out
Next I know you're turning tricks
To make some money for your next fix

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

Instrumental

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
Now the fun has gone
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

I gotta letter in the mail
It said please help me I'm in some jail
Got busted and there's no way out
But I will die if you don't help
I went to see what I could do
Paid your bail and got you free
Next I know you're turning tricks
To get some money for your next fix

And I can't help you now
You're too far gone
You took too much
You can't get back to where you were
And I can't help you now, I can't help you

I Can't Help You Now

Small Song

EXIT

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

I always felt alone
Had no one to lean on
There was heavy clouds over me..
I was let down as a child
And lost all trust in people
Had to find my own way to survive..
I was so afraid of being let down again
Of those who said they loved me
And said they were my friend..

So I built a wall
I built a solid wall
My own place where I could feel safe..
No one got through there
No one could sense my fear
No one could hurt me
I could hide behind my wall..

Then you came
And everything changed
You broke through my wall
Made sure I didn't fall..
I felt I could trust you
when you said you loved me
I felt safe when you said you were my friend..
You wiped all my tears..
I could share all my secrets
You held me close
And chased away all my fears..

I had built a wall
I had built a solid wall
My own place
where I could feel safe..
But you got through there
You could sense my fear
But you didn't hurt me
I didn't have to hide anymore...
