I know I repeat myself - but in times like these, where the bad and the ugly seem to outrace the good, we should unite our humanity and try to throw the wheel around for better times.

The world is getting uglier - so at least I try for myself to make it a little better around myself...

This is the Day

But wait, there is a whisper on the wind
A single teardrop that is glistening on the skin
Raindrops falling, on the cracked earth below
Washing clean, the seeds of hope will grow.

If the state of the world could be described as a weather, this would be the fight between the friendly and the dark clouds. If only the friendly clouds will win the race.

I have fun messing around with the songs of others. Got this catchy tune from Sacresy https://on.soundcloud.com/8Zpg4V6A5JUVSfXJA and worked it out with additional samples, guitars and a lot of rearrangement. 

This one was approved by Sacresy for release.

Whole Lotta Love (Remix Blackthorn Blossom)

Led Zeppelin: Whole Lotta Love (Remix by Blackthorn Blossom)

Reminder back to the mid 1980s when I travelled alone to United States to spend some weeks working in an YMCA camp near Chattanooga. The flight was in an old Boeing 707, which the song is about.

Guitars and Bass: Lucas Schleweis

Songwriting, lyrics and vocals: Lucas Schleweis

Fifteen years old, I’m clutching my passport
Prepared to get on the plane
I’m all alone for a long-distance night flight
In the onboarding lane

707, the engines are roaring
Spreading her wings and leaving the ground
Up and away for new adventures
Exploring new space and going westbound

Clouds like mountains, cotton white and vast,
Sunbeams dancing, shadows softly cast.
Towns and rivers like ribbons on the land,
A whole new planet cradled in my hand.
Meals on trays and movies on a screen,
This airplane world, for me a futuristic scene.
The hours melt away and I pull my blanket tight,
Dreaming of adventures in the coming daylight.

Never thought I'd fly, never thought I'd see,
The world is so vast, a boundless mystery.
A million questions, they’re coming to my mind,
New sights, new sounds, a future to find.
The Boeing 707 engines hum a lullaby,
Carrying me onward, to brand new skies.
