Sometimes I wonder am I a clone
A pale facsimile of a better one
But I don't ponder until the day's done
Sometimes I wonder if I am one
Sometimes I wonder am I just goo
Waiting for a robot to tell me what to do
My moves are jagged, my gait is choppy
Am I just a sloppy copy of you

Am I a clone
What if I got no Mamma to take me home

Sometimes I wonder am I a drone
Waiting for the next gig to glow on my phone
With instructions on where I gotta go
Sometimes I wonder am I a drone
But there's a boy inside who sings
Nobody is pulling his strings
Rides his bike over fields of green
Parks it on the bank of a crystal stream 

Is he a clone, he doesn't know
What if he got no Mamma to take him home

I'll forgive my dreams for betraying me
'Cause they live in places nobody can see
Am I a clone, am I a clone
What if I got no mamma to take me home
Am I a clone, am I a clone
What if I got no Mamma to take me home
What if I got no Mamma?

Am I a clone?

I love to make new songs with smooth organic sounds and vocal harmonies that remind me of favourite bands from the 1970's. If you like Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, America, Neil Young, and Nilsson, you might enjoy this music too.

These songs are fictional vignettes and stories. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

I facilitated worship in congregations for many years, and some songs here were written for that purpose. If you find a one you'd like to use, I would be happy to provide a chart.

A regular "ONE MAN BAND", I play all the instruments and do all the vocal, keyboards and whatever else I have to play to make a tune. Hope ya find one ya like!!

Influences: The Lumineers, The Head and The Heart, The White Stripes, Jack Johnson, Wilco, David Gray.  More recently, Josh Ritter and Jason Isbell

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language (PO - Portuguese; EN - English; SP - Spanish; FR - French; IT - Italian), and also for concept albums (Três Jardins). There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums, and corresponding playlists that gather some of their individual tracks. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

Songwriter – Meaningful music in Singer-Songwriter, Country/Folk/Rock and Christian genres.  Sharing with those who enjoy the songs.

Roger Pancake is the pseudonym of the German music nerd Mark Korthals, regarding himself a musician. He is best known (to those who know) for his musical contributions to a long history of local Cologne and Magdeburg band projects from midst of the eighties until today. After his last project recording a personal version of Beck‘s Songreader with The Jehnny Dopps, he is now, under the project name The Cosmic Hum, releasing (well, rather small step by small step) his debut solo album entitled Reveal yourself: late coming of age like stuff, taking himself seriously in the one and only respect of having fun doing this.
