Lyrics :
You can't always trust
the ones that you trust
You can't always keep
the falling from failing
But find it in your shadows
The darkest corners
A lost shining leaf
a poet's dagger

You once may have heard
whisper the devil's game
Play the clowns in mime
Found it in your heart
the dagger with my name
It ends that day
Cracked the mirrors
the thief was you…

Lyrics:

O-zone, tip a toe and walk around the no
Fly-zone flap a wings land a sea…

…Turtle like a feather
Sounds like brisbane's weather
Like beautiful christmas eve still dressed for halloween
Of roundabout clouds go flying
Mile-high fantasy
Just to chase your morning kiss
To the rainbow's end we missed

Oh-zone, what are we
Slyly waiting for?
Can we take any
Chances granted
Con-trails
Go up in day-glo
In the mid-dle or in between

Oh-zone
what are we waiting for?
Fate or Chance
Or crash land in between

--Bridge--
So fly on
Sky miles echoing empty seats
So cry on
wings of stranger angels

…turn like a feather
Sounds like brisbane's weather
Like beautiful christmas eve still dressed for halloween
Of roundabout clouds go flying
Mile-high fantasy
Just to chase your morning kiss
To the rainbow's end we missed

--Sax--

o-zone
Shaking plane all through night…

-- Sax trading 8's--

Fate or chance?
Fasten your seat belts tight

Baby kicked the seat And nicked daddy's cheek
Angry steward spilled wine tipping wings
Your free movie just became reality

o-zone!
Let's pull our parachutes
down to your sideways frown

o---zone
No fly zone
Crashing landing strip
Turn back time to
Summer's breeze on winter's eve

not knowing the

This is the flash of madness
Traced in the scraping branches…

A path to the lullaby wind
Sung by the…
child that sees out from within
Gravity, on and on (and on…)
Spots on the sun
Sung by the…
devil behind those closed eyes

Yes, promises chase the magic
breath, skipping the one heartbeat between
Faces and thousands of lullabies end in a single word

Silence

angels both menacing and auspicious float over the edge of civilization. feedback guitars tethered to a faulty ground connection call and respond. released 1989 on statik 1.

more info:
http://www.jh0st.com/statik-1/

embraid (1989)

a tribute to David Bowie as an actor and as a musical genius. The poetry is based on the movie "The man who fell to earth".

Poetry and spoken words: John Hobbs  
Music: flowermouth

Poem;

Displaced TVs

 A solitary skyscraper firework wipes a displaced TV’s smirk
And surrounds me much as showbiz – a slave to glitz not work.
And all the bodies glisten – a reflection’s substitute
For instant salivation - the fool has lost his flute.
The desert and the alcohol – the girl is a mirage
Machinations cut me deeply - the stars so bright and large.
I've patented my soul now but it’s a buyer’s market
And I’m open to all offers but I’m trying hard to hide it.
In my abject misery give me a shoulder I can cry on
Or as the bullets fly perhaps a soldier to rely on.
To be honest I don’t remember my name or origin
Do I rip like some weak fabric and am I drenched in sin?
I teeter on the edge of pinstriped tainted blues
Addicted to Earth’s oxygen – the game of win or lose.
Bugging someone’s private life for a say on juicy matters
Or huddled round an Ouija board for a séance which then flatters.
Somehow my very being is bleak, disposable at best
Like a battered long-wave radio in need of spark or zest.
A black hole grabs me by the throat – I’m such a hungry ghost
I must have more possessions, I long to have the most.
Is mindfulness the buzzword of the bitter middle-class?
Trappings wrapped around us as the starving file past.
If now is so much better than my imagination
Why do I drift and suffocate and give in to stagnation.
A chorus line of over made up wannabe believers 
Belt out a call for substance like some lost over achievers.
Does this cell reflect my pure love - an inner-sanctuary?
Is the stylus on my record deck sticking just for me?
If one more person tells me to see existence inwardly
I may chop down the forest so they can’t hug a tree.
Where to start really? Just where can we begin?
Footsteps in the interlude – the ice on which we spin.
If the past can trick me every night when I look up at the sky
Perhaps spacemen were an afterthought – the ultimate fake high

Displaced TV's (feat. John Hobbs)

The challenge was to write one or two very simple basslines and build a song around it from that point. 
The songtitle refers to one of my favorite poems:

 MOON'S ENDING
 Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill,
      In the dawn clouds flying,
 How good to go, light into light, and still
      Giving light, dying.

By Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Lyrics „New Isolation“



Isolation
Is killing me
There s no serenity
There s no more space to be

Frustration
Is thrilling me
The same insanity
There s no more space

Losing my senses
There ll be no defenses
I`m falling again on my knees
Looking from high above

It s the saddest part of me

Some days ago
My point of view has changed
Frustration s gone
My mind is re arranged

But there s no hope
To keep this state of mind
There ll be no space

Losing my senses 
There ll be no defenses
I`m falling again on my knees

Looking from high above

The saddest part 
Inside of me
Is killing me
Silently

The saddest part
Inside of me
Is killing me

So softly


The saddest part inside of me 
is killing me
is killing me

Volume and space melt in atmosphere. A walk through lost streets or maybe we just momentarily forgot where we are while staring at the power lines cutting across the moon. The 5th track off the 1616 EP: a collaboration between @area-c-1 and @jh0st (originally released in 1991).

The final track off the 1616 EP: a collaboration between @area-c-1 and @jh0st (originally released in 1991).

---------------------------
it's only lately i free those words that you bring, 
i barely hear and blame my ears as you sing. 
it's just that lately i've learned that desire is not flames 

until the hour when the landscape calls, 
i'll hear your voice as the ghosts will call. 
because when you speak, it's just for today 
i'll still be here when your words fall away.

the last of the jh0st dark wave tunes recorded 1992 and never released. 
half asleep - feedback guitars wail into the night. waiting and wanting more, speaking in tongues while dreaming, or were you awake? begin a slow circle breathing air like dreams.

the b-side off the statik 2 single released in 1992. a cool song for a hot summer: acid grooves, fretless bass, ambient guitar, and soprano sax leads you to the end (or beginning). 'what is mine i'll soon set free.'

our country 'tis a thee sweet land of liberty 
praise of we... 
this land is your land is my chance to 
kneel with thee, momma with thee 

land of our pilgrim's grace used to make 
all the weight of heart strings... 

so race me contain my bashful daze 
race me... contain me. 

i'm crowded drowned in tomorrow's flowers 
crowded, guilty, and free! 

land of our pilgrim's grace used to make 
all the weight of heart strings... 
can't keep nobody's faith half awake 
all the weight of heart strings.

your hand, my hand, we're wiilling... 
what have we done? 

try and figure 
nothing could be smart 
wake up early, start a new tomorrow 

'there goes my baby' 
i can't close my eyes... 

2 eyes to eyes see me 
2 ears to ears to hear me 
to seek to hear makes us said 
your heart just in time, be careful...

Melancholy dream pop with bossa nova inflections... Can you see beyond the mirrors of yourself? The second tune off the n0va EP

------------------------------
lyrics

SEE
how can you hold the beautiful you?
through glass so clear it could be a tear.
and could it be me...
and could it be me?

we laughed so hard could it be a tear,
then tore it down breathing till we drown.
and could it be you.
and could it be you?

step closer still through windows we build,
now see the tear reflecting the real.
you only see me...
i only see you?
i only see me
you only see you.

Starfish Lips (translated from Korean) 

Looking at the sea 
to see the sky 
Our hands, like two starfish 
How cute they are, you said 
That these pink stars try so hard to live 
"Starfish Lips" 

My lips are also clumsy 
But in a different way than a child 
The same things we understand… 
The things that we teach, we also learn 
"Starfish Lips" 

The reason I'm so quiet 
Is not because I have no words 
It's like English to a fish… 
My heart is too full 

You said they looked 
Like little pink children 
and you too are a star... 
"Starfish Lips" 

-----------------------
Starfish Lips (Korean lyrics) 

하늘별보고 바다 보면서 
두마리 불가사리 우리손 
열심히 살려고 하니까 
분홍색 별 귀엽다고 
"Starfish lips" 

내입술도 서툴러 
어린애완 다르지만 
이해하는 똑같은 
가르침 배운다 
"Starfish lips" 

조용한 이유 말없다아니라 
영어 붕어 가슴 가득차니까 
분홍색 아이 것 같다고 
너도 별이다 
"Starfish lips"

Between feat. Minette Fourie

a song from the album i will be releasing very soon xo

Tricks

A song about how fragile our live is 

Reaching for silence
Noise sucks me in 
I want to break through these
I would
The meaning that fear paralyzes
And divides us in time

Hear the bells scream
The Howling
How Can't you See
That We're all the same?
Greed's dividing
You're lying
Sell all our bodies instead

And hear my last Whisper 
As Once written down
Want to stay sober
I Would 
The meaning that fear paralyzes 
And divides us in time

words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018

how soon can you be here
i'm in need of our own sphere
you're in my mind
the way you make me feel
is like overhelming space
and time

with you i want to dive in

this beautiful delay

you've got what i need
i feel your energy
like an inner fire
our spaceship of love
flies timeless through the universe
of our desire

with you i want to dive in

this beautiful delay
   
i close my eyes it takes my breath away
in weightlessness we are one and so we stay
till it fades away

with a beautiful delay

c'mon now c'mon now
let's take our spaceship right now
let's dive in right now in this beautiful delay
c'mon now c'mon now
into this beautiful delay

Music and artwork by @wouwouandthewormling

Recently rejigged, but originally written and recorded around 2012/2013, with lyrics inspired by a copy of the Metro newspaper. 

- Lyrics - 

The killer she idolised
Sporty and Scary Spice
Offers on Jesus Christ
Taxes on humble pie

Go roll into a ball and overturn the lottery
Nostalgia’s well and good, but isn’t what it used to be

Enough of the politics
Eurovision Humperdinck’s
I need a better fix
Frosties or Weetabix?

The jury’s out and finds that too much choice attacked the trend
Give us some time to heal, we broken Brits need doubt to mend

Come in store, get the right deal you
When she kisses like a Sister, play a different tune
And I feel foreign wherever I am
A professional, fugitive, Hungarian man
Half price, unlimited, guarantee
The poorest and the sickest get all-you-can-eat
I like fibre optic chews and lots of fuss
To quiver like the fibber in a ratings loss

An evening with Hannibal
Discounted animal
Tummy tucked taxable
How dare she dress casual

Go roll into a ball and overturn the lottery
Nostalgia’s well and good, but isn’t what it used to be

Come in store, get the right deal for you
When she kisses like a Sister, play a different tune
And I feel foreign wherever I am
A professional, fugitive, Hungarian man
Half price, unlimited, guarantee
The poorest and the sickest get all-you-can-eat
I like fibre optic chews and lots of fuss
To quiver like a fibber in a ratings loss

At eleven years old you were on the booze
Watched you tussle with a tassel from your grandma's bloom
They say I’m dead lucky and woman enough
A p-perfect pick-me-up when you’re not in the buff
Did you hear that? They just knocked and went
Another hit-and-run victim in a bankrupt bed
I’m not a sketch, no, just your typical shade
With the scrubs in the tub when they come to raid

YESTERDAY WAS FOREVER,
COUNT THE WAVES IN THE LONELY SUN,
I GUESS THE RIDE, IT'S BEEN THERE FOR ME,
AND NOW, THE TIDE, SWIMS AWAY,

THE CHILL OF NIGHT HAS SHADED ME,
ONE MILLION STARS IN A HEATWAVE NIGHT,
THE FADE OF DAY, IT;S A PEACEFUL SCIENE
YOU TELL YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR NEXT BEST FRIEND,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO SIT TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS, 
IN THE SUMMERTIME,

I THINK OF LIFE AND I THINK OF THE WORLD,
COUNT THE WEEKS, BUT ONLY DAYS HAVE JUST BEGUN,
THE TEST OF TIME, SOMEDAY, I'LL CALL ON YOU,
JUST TO FIND , MY WAY HOME, MY WAY HOME,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO STEAR TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS,

JUST TO FIND , 
MY WAY HOME, 
MY WAY HOME,
MY WAY HOME

MY WAY HOME

Lyrics

It was the perfect storm
A red sky dawn at the edge of town
We kept the motor warm
A cold steel gift for the lucky ones
There was a sickness here
False-god prophets and hypocrite grins
We laid our best hand down 
But we'll never win
Call out from the black
Can anyone here me?
Right back to the start
Does anyone know the way?
Small town justice for the common man, we bury the bodies then we wash our hands
We laid our best cards down 
But we'll never win

From The Black (Wadlow, Arana, Morefield)

The sunshine and the flowers  
The earth’s fine, so am I
It’s my time, idyll hours      
As clouds drift slowly by
The cotton and sugar sky                     

The crow flies over gardens          
In my mind, so do I
As spring morphs into summer 
And clouds drift slowly by
The cotton and sugar sky                     

The tall grass is a mattress 
The stars will sleep tonight
The minutes morph to hours 
As the time goes quickly by
And melts into the sky

The cotton and sugar sky

The sunshine and the flowers
The earths fine so am i
It’s our time, idyll hours
And clouds drift slowly by
The cotton and sugar sky.

MAY'BE WE WILL FALL, LIVING IN TWO WORLDS

THE BLINDING WORDS THAT I CAN'T HEAR
BECAUSE I FEEL ALIVE

TWO WORLDS

그대 날 떠날 땐
뒤돌아 보지 말고 가줘요
눈마주쳐 미안한 마음에 내게 돌아오지 마요.

비가 내리던 날 부터
눈이 쌓이 무렵까지
내가 기다린다 해도
모르는척 가주세요.

아직 해가 떠 있으니
멀리 갈 수 있을거에요.
그리움은 어쩔수 없으니
나 혼자 그리워 할게요.

지나간 인연이라 생각해요.
잊혀져 흘러가게 해주세요.
제발

미안해 하지 말아요.
나에게
슬퍼 하지 말아요.
이 작은 이별에

그대 날 떠날때
