Enigma

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Oh, the weather's nice today (So nice)
It's warmer than last may (Definitely)
Did you hear about the neighbors? (Tell me)
They just moved to God knows where (Really?)

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Oh, Traffic’s bad, took me so long (Same for me)
Mornings always feel so wrong (I agree)
Coffee’s cold, but I don’t mind (I prefer tea)
Guess it wakes me up just fine (Hopefully)

(bla bla, bla bla) x4

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Small talk ...
Just speak to avoid silence (bla bla, bla bla)  
Weather...
Sunny or not sunny day (bla bla, bla bla)
Small talk ...
Just speak to avoid silence (bla bla, bla bla)  
Weather...
Rainy or not rainy day (bla bla, bla bla)

Small Talk

Lyrics:
(We haven't met yet)
(We haven't met yet)

That bridge in the fog
Through the clouds it peaks
To meet another friend
That will not speak
The iron clad wall that climbs familial faces
Reeks a sense of nostalgia
But we haven't met yet

(We haven't met yet)
(We haven't met yet)

Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home
I lost count of my demons but they know me by name
I'll walk thirty miles instead alone
I feel dirty and I feel insane

You don't know the words or the means, yet speak
Like the friends in masks who claim identities meet
The iron clad wall that climbs familial faces
Reeks a sense of nostalgia
But we haven't met yet
Dead eyes staring off right into the chasm
Remembering every last chance, every regret
The people who wronged me and the people I wrong
Hit it, I've got to hit it

That bridge in the fog
Through the clouds it peaks
To meet another friend
That will not speak
The iron clad wall that climbs familial faces
Reeks a sense of nostalgia
But we haven't met

Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home
I lost count of my demons but they know me by name
I'll walk thirty miles instead alone
I feel dirty and I feel insane

(Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home)
(I lost count of my demons but they know me by name)
(I'll walk thirty miles instead alone)
(I feel dirty and I feel insane)

So many contradictions, I can't comprehend excitement
Am I shaking from anxiety or passion?
I can't support the people or the message or the actions
But this chance is a once in a lifetime
I'm convinced we're falling out
From a single messy night
And a minute change in your voice
I know that it's the demons putting the thoughts in my head
But it happened before, why can't it happen again?
So many contradictions, I can't comprehend excitement
Am I shaking from anxiety or passion?
I can't support the people or the message or the actions
But this chance
This chance is a once in a life.

Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home
I lost count of my demons but they know me by name
I'll walk thirty miles instead alone
I feel dirty and I feel insane

Great vocals and a competent arrangement makes this a nice love song!

Oh I love you

You Too, My Child by The Dark Messiahs is a melancholic drift through late-night shadows. A delicate piano ostinato sets the foundation, its steady repetition both grounding and hypnotic. Sticks Thompson’s drums remain understated, more suggestion than force, while Wilt Flowers' bass murmurs in deep conversation. Guy Stansfield’s clarinet and Blue Six’s trumpet weave mellow, melodic lines, their interplay rich with longing. Sonny Rhodes' piano guides the piece with restraint, each note carrying weight in the silence around it. A sparse yet immersive composition, You Too, My Child lingers like the last light in an empty bar, intimate and unresolved.

Butterfly Effect

kolkhorst 2025

l had to tell my friends of my cancer problem, when l was 23 years old.
Years went by. They thought l was tripping...
Now the best shit: l still have it!! Since last summer we know what the deal is about. 
They never checked the lymph system...

 jetzt bin ich seit ewigkeiten endstadium. das kickt extrem. der schilddrüsentumor und das rieseteil auf der halsaorta sind dem grunge vollkommen egal. lch gehe jetzt nochmal jede kolkhorst epoche durch und mache dazu jeweils ein lied. (hier werden es mehr als eins)  hier sind wir im pathologic neighborhood bereich. diese band gab es von 1987-1994. christoph koch: giraffe - alex koch: bass - piet wagner: dr - michael büttner: bass (später) und ich so als nur sänger, da meine arme vom schlagzeugspiel im eimer waren. dieses lied ist im style von damals.
das foto hat andre schuster  am 20.12.1990 in der nordlandhalle lüneburg geschossen. rock gegen rechts. es gab den abend eine bombendrohung und der raum musste geräumt werden. danach ging dann mit uns weiter.

der highpoint war, als die band in lüneburg 1993 mit dritte wahl und ferris mc in der alten FH lüneburg auftrat. damals als trio mit mir am bass.


ich sang dann in weiteren metal bands, die sich unzählig wieder auflösten, wie bushaltestellen quasi. irgendwann reichte mir dieser komplizierte kram und es ging mit einem chord weiter, den ich dann schon selber spielen konnte.
aber das ist dann die nächste geschichte. und es kann sein, dass das material nicht immer lupenrein ist - ich hab schon probleme bei der herstellung. aber es geht noch xD wenn wir diesen song schon 1990 gespielt hätten, wäre die welt wohl eine andere geworden. 
"hinterher ist man immer schlauer", so könnte diese compilation heissen.

rock on!
