At The End Of The Dream- bE AnOthEr

GOLDILOCKS PLANET

great tune, but music is a rough take; errors in the break need some work

I GUESS I MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE

I WOULD CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN FOR YOU
I WOULD GIVE YOU EVERYTHING I OWN
BECAUSE YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WHAT I SAY
ISN'T TRUE
I CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I THINK THAT IT'S IN ME
I THINK THAT IT'S IN ME

YES I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
YOU THINK IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ME
PERHAPS I'M SOMEONE ELSE
(I GUESS I MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE)
SOMEONE WHO IS NOTHING LIKE ME
NOTHING LIKE ME

C....A....P....G....R....A....S....SYNDROME
IS THIS ME AND IS THAT YOU?
C....A....P....G....R....A....S....SYNDROME

AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME I MISREAD THE SITUATION
CAUGHT UP IN A NIGHTMARE OF MY OWN CREATION

IF WE ALL HAVE A TWIN
THEY ALL EXIST WITHIN A SINGULAR DIMENSION
FOR EVERYWHERE I LOOK
I SEE THE FACES OF DIZYGOTIC CHILDREN

LEFT ME THUNDERSTRUCK
I MISSED THE DOUBLE-TAKE
I WAS HIT BY A TRUCK

I KNOW THAT CLONES REPEAT
AND SHARE THE SAME HEARTBEAT
ARE THE TWO-FACED ONE WE MEET
THAT NOTHING I CAN DO OR SAY
CAN STOP THE MARCH OF THEIR DECEIT

ONE FOOT IN THE MOUTH
ONE FOOT IN A FUTURE TO COME
THE URGE TO CHECK THE CLOCK
ACCOMPANIES THE URGE TO BUY A GUN

MY ACTIONS DOWN TO SPLIT DECISIONS
MOMENTS LACKING....LACKING IN PRECISION
THOUGH MZ TWINS
WEAR DIFFERENT SKINS
I'VE NEVER ONCE HAD....DOUBLE ENTENDRE VISION

I GUESS I MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE

Dans Toutes Les Civilisations.... III

Live in Munich .. opening for .. Willy de Ville  !

Music   (git.voc.)  Hubert Stytz
Lyrics   Pee Gee

I was waiting for the midnight-show
In a place called  "The Spanish Rose"
I thought that s the way I like it
Let the red vine flow
As the curtain opened slowly
The lights were dimmed down low
The main attraction of the evening
Let the tension grow
She appeared like an avenging angel
With a bright but deadly smile
If looks could kill I would have died
Unable to move for a while

She left me behind in a fever
Tempting but out of reach
Like a " Joie De Vivre"
With a bitter taste in it

She danced the best flamenco
I had ever seen before
When her dress accidentally touched me
I was ready to ask for more
She moved like a heavenly creature
A hot bit of stepdance encore
When her skirt accidentally touched mie
I was ready to beg for more

She left me behind in a fever-  My Spanish Rose !
Like a "Joie De Vivre"
With a touch of flamenco flair
She left me behind in a fever. My Spanish Rose !
My Spanish Rose !

01 Spanish Rose                  Stytz/Pee Gee

WEIRDWOLVES OF LONDON - FLOYD PINK AND THE PUNKS is Ste van Horne and Peter Harding

Hello… thanks for dropping by. This song is a loud, electric-slide song. It has overdriven slide, some homemade (learning how to:no drum kit) percussion, a vocal harmony and gravely vocals. I am happy I am able to do this at all, at 68 years of age… especially singing, which greatly wanes with age. (I really just started to sing within the last decade or so.) Traveling On… may be seen as a metaphor, or not, it doesn’t really matter. It might signify personal change or a movement toward and/or away from something. There is a hint of recognition, insofar as the unwavering essence of who we are… There is a suggestion of working toward peace. Again, this could be seen as metaphorical, in a sense of personal introspection. What do we espouse, condone and accept in this life for ourselves and society? Do you want to ‘Travel On’? Thanks for hanging out, Mark

Traveling On

a great song written by Rick Danko and Bob Dylan..........miles of shit have been written about this band......... best to let their music do the talking...........this version is with the Alters...cheers for having a listen

This Wheel’s On Fire 
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN AND RICK DANKO
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 We were goin’ to meet again and wait
 So I’m goin’ to unpack all my things
 And sit before it gets too late
 No man alive will come to you
 With another tale to tell
 But you know that we shall meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 I was goin’ to confiscate your lace
 And wrap it up in a sailor’s knot
 And hide it in your case
 If I knew for sure that it was yours . . .
 But it was oh so hard to tell
 But you knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 You’ll remember you’re the one
 That called on me to call on them
 To get you your favors done
 And after ev’ry plan had failed
 And there was nothing more to tell
 You knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry served you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!

This Wheel's On Fire  (The Band)

A reload of a song about the passage of time and wondering it you have perhaps let life slide by. Melancholy turned up to 11.
Lyrics
I'm 57 years old now, its hard to believe I know
Where the hell did these years all go?
I hesitate and prevaricate, capitulate and procrastinate
Where the hell does that leave me now

They say that he who hesitates is lost
Well i have found that out and it's to my cost

Standing at the station with one foot on the train
But I step off and watch it roll away
Just watch the lights as they fade away

They say that he who hesitates is lost
Well i've found that out and it's to my cost..

I put off 'til tomorrow what I can do today
But today will soon be yesterday and tomorrow'll be today
So where does that leave me
Well somehow it seems
Between the devil and the deep blue sea....

57 years old now it's hard to believe I know
Where the hell did these years all go?
Where the hell have these years all gone.........?

He Who Hesitates

more melancholic piano ballads ... can't do a Cry tune like Roy O..but I give it a go with this tune of mine from a ways back


It’s Ok If You Cry

I heard a sad song                                                          
Floating in the sky from over there                             
The notes they echo in my mind                                 
Up on the rooftop  
In that cold December air   
I saw you play that tune, the hurtin’ kind                                         
And you thought no one was listening                      There’s no one around to hear                                    Feeling so alone, yet you still try                                 Standing tall, in the autumn of your life                     Singing how it’s ok if you cry                                                  

You sing the story
How you let it slip away
The years and all the ghosts you left behind
Fingers numb not bending well
Breath fogging when you sing
The words how they sear into my mind

So I stumble to the music
And fall down into the snow
Feeling so alone, lost in my lie
Trying to stand up, in the autumn of my life
Singing how it’s ok if you cry

It’s ok if you cry
Do it anytime
Don’t matter the season of your years
I need a little space tonight
I’m gonna climb up there with you
Where it’s safe to breathe and shed our tears

I grabbed a ladder 
And I climbed up for the view
Looked around to find you and your song
I was met by other voices,
Souls, whispers in the night
On their own rooftops, trying to sing along

They think there’s no one there to listen
There’s no one around to hear
Feeling so alone, but still, they try
Standing tall, in the autumn of this life
It’s ok if you cry

It’s ok if you cry
Do it anytime
Don’t matter the season of your years
I need a little space tonight
I’m gonna climb up there with you
Where it’s safe to breathe and shed some tears 




OK If You Cry

The Other Side remake # 5. It started in 2002. Got adjusted in 2007. Had seperate facelift's to reflect new reality in 2015 & 2024. Now # 5 is truly Alive for The Other Side. Both the Song and me appreciate your time and love ♾️ If art is conscious in a universal sense as it's doing its job of inspiring love, then that appreciation from the piece itself doesn't have to seem misplaced...

It's great to make art... But the sharing bit can truly last and maybe it can actually transcend the artist as an energetic entity. Maybe all art is that after it's created ♾️ (unless souless ai made it)


Tempo 155bpm 4/4
Tuning 417Hz A and down one semitone then capo 2 (B string back up one semitone)

Lyrics

Why go beyond this face 
To no longer replace and only embrace this soul
You can’t grow while running from this
Down clenching your fist,
Your hot heads
Too mystical

Light up the other side
Light up the other side

I know to look to this place
Search every last little trace
Find why all is interlaced with the cold
(The Beautiful Dark: In order to.know we are playing with light we unfortunately need to understand the shitty darkness that exists in this universe most of which was created by what we currently refer to as  "humanity" - Can't recall a dolphin ever bringing evil to planet Earth - They show plenty of love though... maybe that's showing us how natural love is and where all hate comes from! Humans...)

Light up the other side
Light up the other side

Love like you mean it
Love completely
Is your heart beating?
Then love like you mean it!

We're wishing for middle eastern freedom
We're wishing for Tibetan peace
For 'free' Iraqi beliefs
We let go of Mugabe 🙏🏿 🥳
Zimbawes relief
Fuck you Burmese high priests
🖕🏽All black and white beasts

Rainbows of love
Your Dharma duties
Never end Peace and Love
No shame no doubt no guilt reigns

Just love like you mean it
Love completely
Just love like you mean it
Love completely

Light up the other side
Light up your inside
Light up the other side
Light up your inside
Yeah ➕📈


Notes
Man this feels good. It's like I'm handing a big chuck of myself over and its a good chunck of good in my head.

I pledge to write this song until I die and hopefully that means me making lots and lots of versions of this over the coming decades. It has to be rewritten because this song needs to reflect my reality and that always changes. When the time is right I'll pass it on to another human who I feel will be worthy enough to keep it going for another lifetime.

I wrote this song originally 23 years ago on a two octave Casio keyboard. It was so cheesily amazing. However the beat cheese was 155bpm of high tempo rhythm so when I went to write the lyrics I slowed the gait to try and say what I wanted to say and not sound like a chipmonk.

So today we go back to that gait and we do it without like sounding like a chipmonk and with new relevance for what I see in reality.
This is the result of the first wave of recompiling the idea again from scratch. I'll hone it now...

The Other Side (2025)

File Updated: Piano line in which I loosely had Heat Miser by Massive Attack in my head... I don't think I encroached originality... just wanted a similar vibe... also improved the vox... decided to go with Ronald Duck you dollar dumb as I hate saying its name and dont want to say fuck through the whole tune haha looses it's impact maybe doing that

Lyrics

Ronald Duck your dollar dumb
Ronald Duck your dollar dumb

The politics is switched off
It's not humane
Though humane is their job
I try for fantasy in sounds
And try and spell that slop
But that spelling can't be found

So in the dreams we ditch them
And somehow make a new plan
Here survival is focused to every cell
Everyone
Everything
Every atom
The whole system
Donald Duck your dollar dumb
Your Euro tone & your Yen
Donald Duck dollar dumb

The politics is switched off
It's not humane
Though humane is their job
I try for fantasy in sounds
And try and spell that slop
But that spelling can't be found

It's fucking your job...

So in the dreams we ditch them
And somehow make a new plan
Here survival is focused to every cell
Every atom
Everyone
Survival of system
Donald Duck your dollar dumb
Your Euro tone & your Yen
Donald Duck dollar dumb
It's survival Son
Donald Duck their dollar dumb
Money can't save anyone
No coin fixes Earth blisters

Dollar Dumb

Feeling a little depressed that I have some commitments that will keep me away from recording music for another couple of months.  This is a going away presie until I get an opportunity to sling that guitar strap around my neck again.
Track 2 from White Noise album written and recorded at Strudel Girl Studio on the Greek island of Ithaca.

You Don't Know How I Feel 
(C) Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved 


You don't know how I feel 
You don't know how I feel 
You don't know how I feel 
When I hide in the corner of my room 
You don't know how it hurts 
It hurts oh it hurts 
This is how I mess it up 
Burn the skin until it blisters 
Never learned to shut my mouth 
Turn me on I'm your transistor 

Choose love from a catalogue 
Choose man from a picture on my wall 
Nobody's going to get inside 
Nobody's going to make me cry 
Nobody's going to tear my heart out 
Nobody's going to get inside 
Nobody's going to make me cry 
Nobody's going to tear my heart out 
Not this time 

Terramin and razor blades 
Will I get what I want today 
I don't want to go outside 
Daylight blinds me sometimes 
You don't know how I feel 
You don't know how I feel 
You don't know how I feel 
You don't know how I feel 

I'm alive 
I'm alive 
I'm alive

You Dont Know How I Feel

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE w.i.p.

I SEE THE UNIVERSE IN COLOUR

Lola Demo is a force to be reckoned with. Her music is a raw, unfiltered dive into the heart of alternative soundscapes.
Hailing from the eclectic underground scene, Lola Demo has carved out a niche that's entirely her own. With a background that defies convention, her journey through the musical realms is anything but ordinary.
Starting with the brooding tones of goth and alt-rock, Lola Demo has evolved her sound into something that transcends genres. She has previously fronted the goth band Ape the Cry (Melb AUS), rocked out with the alt-rock band Hard Candy (Melb AUS), and explored dark electronica with British musician/producer Barry Snaith in their duo, M1NK.
Now splitting her creative energy between Athens, Greece, and the idyllic island of Ithaca, Lola Demo writes and records in her mobile studio, Strudel Girl. Her commitment to her craft is unwavering, aiming to release a new album or EP at least once a year. Her music marries grungy garage grit with hauntingly beautiful melodies, crafting songs that are as biting as they are melancholic.
Lola Demo's lyrics are a journey unto themselves - sharp, stinging, and unapologetically far from the pop mainstream. She thrives on the fringes. She lives for the edge. With influences spanning the entire spectrum of sound, Lola Demo is not just an artist; she's a sonic alchemist. 
Lola Demo is looking deep into your darkness and eternal fears by releasing hers.

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!

PROGRESSIVE MEETS POST-PUNK MEETS THE 60'S/70'S
