The new single taken from the forthcoming album "It's Gonna Get Heavy"

I’d say it’s nostalgic and wistful in both its music and lyrics but melodic and poignant. Harking back to 90s-early 2000’s indie/folk. There’s also a hint of the Britpop era with elements reminding me of OCS and Cast. A laid back journey borne from a world that’s gone by and a yearning for such innocence and hope.

It's Gonna Get Heavy

Twenty Three

A reflective, mournful piece from Before I Forget by The Jeremias Langsämmer Ensemble, featuring lofi piano, cello, and subdued strings. This contemporary minimal classical track blends intimate piano melodies with gentle orchestral strings, perfect for focus, study, or contemplative listening. The restrained yet cinematic soundscape evokes quiet introspection while maintaining a modern, avant-garde sensibility.

Verse 1
We fold our summers into paper boats,
Set them sailing down the gutter of jokes.
You laughed and said the rain would be our guide,
But tiny crafts can't weather swelling tides.

Pre-Chorus
Your thumbprints on the corner of a page,
A little map that leads me out of age.

Chorus
Paper boats on the boulevard tonight,
Glide like wishes in the yellow light.
Hold my hand, we’ll pretend we know the sea,
For just a blink, for just our memory.

Verse 2
Street vendors hum a tune we used to steal,
Window panes remember how the warmth would feel.
A scent of jasmine, and this city breathes,
小船起航 — tiny ships and bigger needs.

Pre-Chorus
We memorize the cracks within the sidewalk maze,
Trace constellations that remember our names.

Chorus
Paper boats on the boulevard tonight,
Glide like wishes in the yellow light.
Hold my hand, we’ll pretend we know the sea,
For just a blink, for just our memory.

Bridge
We build a harbor from the words we never say,
A quiet dock that keeps the storms at bay.
Close your eyes, the world becomes a room,
Where paper boats are safe beneath the moon.

Chorus
Paper boats on the boulevard tonight,
Drifting slowly through the city's sigh.
Keep them close, like secrets in your coat,
We still believe in every little boat.

Paper Boats

Just some twitter musings on the present lawlessness in general.

Lyrics:

A journo was making a rather wooden take
That our very cultural survival was at stake
Reciting cliches, chapter and verse
And the state of his cause got progressively worse
As i passively catalogued his obvious failings

As i witnessed his histrionic railing
I admired his persistence 
Tearing on the weenies
Burying the gawking grifters
And telling those randy stoats to get wrecked
And extolling in all parts the liminal grace of 
The champions of full-gilled bravado
And forthright deportment
And bewailing the existence of
Beanie wearing peacoat-bedecked hipsters
Walking around carrying artisanal baked goods
And oat milk cortados in broad daylight in Portland

But the reality of course was rather more dire
Notably an individual in lingerie
Covered in sores stomping a windshield 
And generally ruining some hapless driver's day
Before attempting to light a man on fire
The nearby police 
Bereft of civic desire
Watched for a moment
Before calmly walking away

Banalities Of The Peacoat-Bedecked

Years I spent just searching for some restless dream in the dark of night.
Then you came into my life and brought me hope, and you became my light.
A loving word of care, a gentle touch; giving me the strength to carry on.
Rising in the east, you came to me, you’re my ever-present, bright and shining sun.

Oh, let it shine, let it shine, you’re the bright light showing me the way.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.
Hear that heart, it’s mine. Let it shine, when you’re with me, night turns into day.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.

You made me believe in me and gave me hope to see another day.
I can only hope I do the same for you in my own little way.
A little love is all I have to give, but giving that increases my own light.
Maybe one day when you’re feelin’ down my love can help you make it thru the night.

Oh, let it shine, let it shine, you’re the bright light showing me the way.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.
Hear that heart, it's mine. Let it shine, when you’re with me, night turns into day.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.

Now I know just what you mean to me, 
We compliment ourselves in every way.
And our love keeps growing deeper.  
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Let it shine.
