Wooooow! I'm impress by those vocals! So powerful! And the chords progression is awesome! Ouf! What a song!

I really connected with these lyrics. You captured the emotional confusion and mental unraveling of gaslighting in such an honest way. It’s powerful writing, and the message really hit home for me. Beautifully done. 🔥🎵🎶👏

We need to stop giving pieces of our lives to people who don't deserve them.
Dobbiamo smettere di dare pezzi della nostra vita a persone che non li meritano.

The Undertaking - Red Line

Undertow

Hank delivers the goods on this tear jerking countrified soulful rocker about a man on the outs of a relationship.  Hank's soulful ever gritty vocals, his country style guitar, and gospel style piano paints a hard hearted story each verse getting more and more intense building to a final roundup of emotion complete with string section and haunting steel guitar, when you hear this song, you know why they call him Hank, 

Cryin In The Night
By Hank Rusch

Oh, I try to keep our lovelight burnin'
But now I see it growin' dim
I finally realized why you're always cryin'
You're gonna leave me for him

Every night it's the same
You wake up weepin' and callin' his name
Then you cry yourself back to sleep
You can't hide the secret that you keep

Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna say everything's allright?
Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna cry in the night?

I know it won't be long
With the plans you're makin'
soon I'll be gone
but I ain't gonna make easy for you
I think it's time for you to tell the truth

Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna say everything's allright?
Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna cry in the night?
are you gonna cry, cry in the night?
Tell me baby, Tell me baby, don't tell me lies
Tell me now in the night, and in the mornin'
In the mornin' I'll be gone
No, No, No, don't cry anymore, baby
Tell the truth and dry your eyes
I know why, I know why, you cry in the night
Cry, Cry, Oooooooh! Cryin' in the night
Cryin' Cryin' Cryin' Cryin' in the night

AURORA DE CASTILISCAR

Es María en la corte del cielo
    estrella del Norte y guía del mar.
    Es amparo y refugio de todos
    cuantos el Rosario vayan a rezar.
    Venid, venid y llegad
    Venid, venid y llegad.

Y en la hora triste de la muerte     
    la Virgen María nos ha de amparar.
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad.
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad.

Por ti, madre mía    
    logremos dichosos                              
    los frutos copiosos                          
    de la redención.
    ¡Oh¡ madre amantísima
    no nos desampares                        
    hasta que en el cielo
    a todos nos halles,  
    hasta que en el cielo                                   
    a todos nos halles.

Y en la hora triste de la muerte                 
    la Virgen María nos ha de amparar.
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad                              
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad.

AURORA OF CASTILISCAR

Mary is in the court of heaven,
the Northern Star and guide of the sea.
She is the protection and refuge of all
who go to pray the Rosary.
Come, come and arrive
Come, come and arrive.

And in the sad hour of death,
the Virgin Mary must protect us.
Come and arrive, come and arrive.
Come and arrive, come and arrive.

Through you, my Mother,
may we happily obtain the abundant fruits of redemption.
Oh loving mother
Do not abandon us
Until in heaven
You find us all,
Until in heaven
You find us all.
And in the sad hour of death
The Virgin Mary must protect us.
Come and arrive, come and arrive
Come and arrive, come and arrive.

Inspired by Stranger Things and my daughter’s enthusiasm for it, I’ve reimagined one of my guitar tracks as an atmospheric ’80s electronic homage.

Featuring sharp, insistent drum machines, unsettling electronic arpeggios, and a final defiant female vocal. Listen to the system reboot. #CoerciveControl #DarkPop #SynthRnb #TheCalibrationSong.

Dear friends,

This is the last song for 2025, and I'm taking a break from composing new music.

Let yourselves be surprised in 2026.

For the past year, 2025, I'd like to thank all the users who listened to and commented on my music.

Best regards,

Karl Heimgartner / Carlito Home / Karl Heinz-Heimgartner

Embrace The Morning

This is how I imagine Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem as a song. Others have done this before, but I hope you enjoy my version ❤️

The lyrics from "silken shadows" seem to be good for another track, now with male vocals and an arrangement slightly leaning towards country folk.

SUGAR & SIN 

VERSE 1 (DE)

Nach außen süß, doch innen pures Gift,
Du klopfst an die Tür, bis mein Widerstand bricht.
Junge, dieser Blick – Samt und Gefahr,
Eine Sekunde, und ich komm’ nicht mehr klar.

PRE-CHORUS (DE)

Ich sag mir selbst: „Lauf weg…“
Doch du hast mich längst im Gepäck.

CHORUS (EN/DE)

You taste like sugar and sin,
ich weiß, es ist falsch, doch ich lass dich rein.
Trouble verpackt in ’nem perfekten Schein,
Baby, ich zerbrech’ — und du gewinnst allein.

VERSE 2 (DE – Final Line locked)

Du nennst mich „Honey“, als wär’s nie passiert,
Kommst Mitternacht vorbei, hast mich manipuliert.
Du sagst, du hast dich geändert — same old shit,
Jedes „Sorry“ von dir klingt wie’n schlechter Hit.

Du riechst nach Ärger in ’nem süßen Kleid,
Und Gott, ich hasse meine Ehrlichkeit.
Tagsüber stark, doch wenn das Licht ausgeht,
scheiß ich auf den Himmel, nur für Haut an Haut mit dir.

CHORUS (EN/DE)

You taste like sugar and sin,
ich weiß, es ist falsch, doch ich lass dich rein.
Trouble verpackt in ’nem perfekten Schein,
Baby, ich zerbrech’ — und du gewinnst allein.

BRIDGE (DE)

Ich verfluch’ dich, dann verfluch’ ich mich,
Wir nennen es Liebe — doch sie rettet uns nicht.
Noch einen Schluck, noch eine Nacht,
Wir haben das Feuer doch selber entfacht.

OUTRO (EN – Whisper)

Sugar…
Sin…
Here we go again.

SUGAR & SIN DE/EN

This is that track that always reminds you of that person who so nonchalantley threw you away.  Its terrible to feel that - and its an unfortunate part of dating sometimes. This is just an expresiion of the past for me.

----------------------------

The day fades, lights fade to black
You walk away a quick look back
Your cold glance, your lips won’t say
A chill in your soul, love slips away

You move like a fire ready to burn
You’re a lesson I didn’t want to learn
You talk so smooth, dressed up in lies
That smile is fire, but frozen like ice

Every time I try to touch your flame
You freeze me out it’s part of your game

You’ve got a heart of ice
You’ve got a heart of ice
You keep your feelings locked deep inside
You chase glory, but you’re losing touch
A heart of ice can’t love that much
A heart of ice can’t love at all

You’re pure danger, an angelic disguise
Cruel intentions in your eyes
Everything you do just benefits you
No one else matters, it’s true 

Diamonds don’t shine in the dark
Love can’t live without a spark
Your steel walls, your golden crown
They shimmer bright but pull you down

Every time I try to bring you light
You disappear into the night

You’ve got a heart of ice
You’ve got a heart of ice
You keep your feelings locked deep inside
You chase glory, but you’re losing touch
A heart of ice can’t love that much
A heart of ice can’t love at all

One day that ice will break apart
And you’ll be left to face your heart
Love will be gone, its the price you’ll pay
Callous smile, there’s nothing to say
With a wave of your hand 
you erased all we were
I know now, that all we were 
Was nothing, nothing at all

You’ve got a heart of ice
You’ve got a heart of ice
You keep your feelings locked deep inside
You chase glory, but you’re losing touch
A heart of ice can’t love that much
A heart of ice can’t love at all

I wish you could feel the light you steal
Or feel remorse for the pain you deal
I was just another notch in your belt
You erased anything I ever felt

Your heart of ice has a new love
I hope one day the ice thaws

I'm at the beginning of my songwriting career—finally sharing the flood of lyrics that have been pouring out of me. Though I don’t sing or play instruments, I’ve been using AI tools to transform the songs I hear in my head into emotionally resonant demos. These tracks span a variety of genres—from country-pop/rock to dance, rock, ballads, and funk-pop—showcasing the full range of my songwriting voice.

Each song on SoundCloud reflects a different facet of my creative style, and I’m eager to collaborate with vocalists and musicians who connect with the sound. If something resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

Curious to explore further? I’m happy to share lyric sheets upon request—perfect for developing your own arrangements or interpretations.
