I'm Not Here

Karmacopia (Hippies' Triumph) - 2016.

01 A Little Black Cloud # 9

You see that guy in the gucci suit
The one with the Rolex
The one walking into the high-rise like he owns the whole damn block

He got a secret
He still checks his bank balance a dozen times a day
Still gets that little knot in his stomach everytime the phone rings
Still remembers the taste of instant noodles and the feel of a secondhand coat in a bitter wind

He ain’t no different to me

I see that girl on the corner, all torn jeans and defiant eyeliner
She’s got a story, too
A story of late nights and empty bottles and a phone that never rings with the right name
She got a tattoo of a bird on her wrist, a tiny thing
It’s not about freedom
It’s about being grounded
It’s about a cage she can’t fly out of

She ain’t different to me

We all got our ghosts
Our regrets
Our silent prayers whispered into the pillow at 3am
We’re all holding our breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
The CEO, the janitor
The influencer with a million likes, the kid with no friends
We’re all just trying to get by, trying to make sense of the noise

We put on these masks
The tough guy
The pretty one
The smart one
The one who has it all figured out
But peel back the layers and what do you find
The same raw, vulnerable heart
The same fear of not being enough

So next time you look at someone and think
“I could never be them” 
or
“They could never understand me”
take a moment
Look closer
Past the clothes
Past the car
Past the curated feed

You’lll see it
The flicker of doubt in their eyes
The tremor in their hand when they think no one’s looking
The way they stare at the ceiling, wondering where it all went wrong, or where it’s all going to go

And you’ll know.  They’re just like you. and me.

They ain’t no different.  Not one bit

Are We All The Same

Something You Feel

with this piece I've reached my upload limit on sc. time to take a break for now and to focus on my page with english lyrics.

it's something quite experimental for the time being. background: I've never been a fan of dark wave. after anne clarke's 1st album, which I listened to over and over again at its time, I was done with fast bass arpeggios and apocalyptic monotony. but nevertheless, we all see what’s going on all over the place. this resulted some weeks ago in the following lyrics without music in my head. 

when I looked for a melody with my guitar, all I came up with was ...uhm. coincidentally, I had borrowed an old juno 60 the other day to accompany a brilliant new work by terry that gary and I were working on. it didn't help to get a melody but the basis for an interesting playback with edited beats and stuff, that I uploaded to suno 4.5+.  

the machine spat out a first performance plus a prompt, which I then worked on again and again. machine language:

„the piece is a dark ambient track with a slow tempo and a minor key, the instrumentation features a sustained, low-pitched synth pad creating a drone-like atmosphere, accompanied by a high-pitched, ethereal synth melody that occasionally introduces dissonant intervals, a prominent, sustained vocalization, resembling a wail or lament, is present throughout the piece, adding to the melancholic mood, the vocalization is heavily processed with reverb and delay, creating a sense of vastness and echo, there are no percussive elements, the overall production is sparse, emphasizing the sustained sounds and the emotional impact of the vocal, the piece has a free-form structure, without clear verse-chorus divisions, relying on the continuous evolution of the sonic textures”

the resulting outcomes were in line with my template, but something consistently went wrong at some point: a completely mispronounced word, an unfortunate harmony, or something else that was extremely annoying. thus, the machine consumed the rest of my monthly credit, until the very last version with a credit balance of 0. end of the game. but that last version was the one!

If I could see
The way you see
If I could hear
The way you hear
If I could think
The way you think
If I could feel
The way you feel

Would I love
Like you love
Would I hate
Like you hate
Would I laugh
Like you laugh
Would I cry
Like you cry

Would I sleep
Like you sleep
Would I dream
Like you dream
Would I hope
Like you hope 
Would I believe
Like you believe

I am, you are
He, she, it is
We, you, they are
Blind for life
Mine or yours
Everything split in two
Lonely and small
All alone
Are what we are
I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they, all, all, all, all
Blind

If I had come
Like you came
I would go
Like you go
I would live
Like you live
I would die
Like you die
I would fade away
Like you fade away
Gone, gone

(Chorus)

shame
