VERKLÄRTER HERBST  feat.Felix Hoffmann   Original Song by Bettina Mietzke  Lyrics Georg Trakl

I might make some minor edits later, but here's "Counting Down"

LYRICS:
 
Lately I've been saying the wrong things
Thinking the bad thoughts, going the wrong way
Playing the dumb games, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Lately I've been feeling like nothing
Feeling like no one, heading to nowhere
Letting the days pass, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Lately I've been running the wrong roads
Wasting a new day, going a bad way
Hurting my own faith, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Lately I've been sinking to nothing
Losing my patience, losing my conscience
Letting the days pass, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting
Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting
Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting
Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting

Counting Down

Loneliness in the Modern World -  [ w/ Nic ]

INtro 6.51

The quarterlife blues is real. After graduating, getting your first job or your first longterm relationship, plenty young people in their mid 20s fall into the quarterlife crisis, an existencial crisis with similar signs to the midlife crisis. Our song "Quarterlife Blues" turns this feeling of being scared, lost and confused in early adulthood into heavy blues rock. It's the first song I recorded with my guitar, and I am super lucky with Andrea's lyrics and David's rocking blues vocals and guitar solos. Let's rock!

David Taro: vocals, lead guitar, solo

==== LYRICS ==== 

Driving home from work
Wish I could quit each day
Stuck in a dead end job
But it brings home the pay

Sirens up ahead
A blaring wake up call
If today were my last
Would I care at all

I'm drowning in the sound
Heading for a breakdown

A hamster in a wheel
Spinning round and round
Colliding with my thoughts
And always losing ground
Running for my life
But heading for a breakdown

What if the victim's my wife
Our love's been fading by degrees
Would I feel lonely and lost
Or finally free

Am I just like my father
And his father too
Settling for a life
Just hoping to get through

I'm drowning in the sound
Heading for a breakdown

A hamster in a wheel
Spinning round and round
Colliding with my thoughts
And always losing ground
Running for my life
But heading for a breakdown

Taffeta 136

TAFFETA | 136

Not far from Jena, in Thuringia, there is small village hidden in the forest, a valley away from through roads. It’s called Tautenburg, this year it celebrates its 800 th anniversary.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) spent his summer retreat there in 1882, walking, writing on „Die fröhliche Wissenschaft“ (translated as "The Gay Science",  „The Joyful Wisdom“ or „The Joyous Science“).
And awaiting the arrival of Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937), a widely travelled Russian writer, narrator, essayist and psychoanalyst.
 
The refrain quotes a short poem he wrote to her. (translation mainly by machine)

The picture shows: View of church tower and castle spire of Tautenburg.

A Big Thank You to Zeralda for playing these wonderful keys and rhythm section.

Waiting For Lou

1
The old trees
Not so many as there used to be
The castle spire
The church tower
The old vicarage
A hand on the wrist
Distant chainsaws shriek
Did not always exist
Is that something that I missed ?

ref
„No longer back ? 
And not up there ?
No path 
For the chamois either ?
So I wait here 
And hold fast, 
What eyes and hands 
Let me grasp
Five feet of earth, 
Dawn
And below me - 
World, man and death“

Now I sit here 
Now I sit here…

Is there another path ?
Is there another path ?

2
The view axis
The early morning dew
The birds singing
The strained breath
And the rest on the bench
The bustling activities
The longings
The desires
Unspoken (2)

ref + out
„No longer back ? 
And not up there ?
No path 
For the chamois either ?
So I wait here 
And hold fast, 
What eyes and hands 
Let me grasp
Five feet of earth, 
Dawn
And below me - 
World, man and death“

Now I sit here 
Waiting for Lou to appear (2)

Is there another track ?
Will Lou be coming back ?

Waiting For Lou (collab wt Zeralda)

The stone columns of the Roman arch of Caparra, like gingantic strings played by the force of the wind.
