Jeremiah - Lift Us Higher

Du bist mein Licht am dunklen Tag Du bist die Kraft die niemand mag

Instrumental track. The drum is a ghatam, which is a clay pot drum from southern India that I have been playing for some time. Then there is a santoor, which is a  hammered dulcimer, also from India (that is sampled, I don't have a santoor although I would love to), acoustic guitar for some rhythm and arrangements, and electric guitar for the leads (a Stratocaster). Then of course there is the bass, and some synth.

The cover art is by my friend Mar Ambroj, a great artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina:

Escape Route

Most Uncertain Uncertainty

I wrote Je Rêve while in a period of insomnia. Everything just started to feel primal. This song is the result.

Je Rêve

Hi folk!
What better opportunity to write songs when you're indoors to escape the Corona virus.
Greetings from Italy!
I am still alive!
(headphones recommended)
Italian lyric below

Nessuno sa 
quando tutto finirà
Intanto c’è chi fugge
In preda al panico
Uscire è un delitto
Non è più un diritto
Se resti a casa 
forse si risolverà

Nelle corsie la polmonite decima 
coloro che la guerra un giorno risparmiò
Non basta la tempra
Ci vuole fortuna
e speri che oggi ci sia un letto anche per te

Le crisi sai son’opportunità
E rallentare al corpo certo gioverà
Stai un po' con le mani in mano
Il ritmo circadiano
E resta accanto a chi vuoi bene per un po’

Io intanto passo il tempo a scrivere
canzoni che qualcuno forse ascolterà
ma ho voglia di uscire
di stendermi al sole
così l’apocalisse 
vivo mi troverà.

LYRICS
My hands follow the witness marks on your skin
We all have our scratches from time
I will hold you as you unwind

We are oldest children, not made to bend
Solid and supposedly wise
Like old oak trees, we stand proud
Our movements synchronised

Yours is the most beautiful sound
I can listen without end
And I’ll learn to be a clockmaker

We’re much more than a sum of parts
Spirits inside mortal machines
If you need spares, I’ll give you mine
You remove my splinters and say

Yours is the most beautiful sound
I can listen without end
And we'll both become clockmakers

End My Days (album version)

"Solid Ground" 

Music, vocals, and lyrics by me:
--------------------------------------------------
One day maybe you’ll understand
What it really means to be a stranger
A stranger in a land you were born in
And have the strength to stand for everyone 

To stand up for yourself 
To never be afraid
To face this bitter crowd 
To be on solid ground

One day maybe you’ll realize
That everytime you lie you’ll be a stranger
A stranger to the one who really needs you
A stranger to the ones on solid ground 

Stand up for yourself 
Don't be afraid of everyone
Only thing that matters is what you really are 
And if you have the strength to stay on solid ground… 

Doesn't matter what they say 
Only thing that matters is what you are 
Doesn't matter what they do 
Only thing that matters is who you are

This track has been renamed Song For Chuang Tzu

"Last night I dreamed that I was a butterfly, flying from flower to flower.
This morning I woke up and didn't know if I was a man who dreamed that I was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that I am a man."

Chuang Tzu  369 - 286 BC

Emma Caterinicchio - B Groovin (with Pete Swinton)

Dutch singer-songwriter Maaike Siegerist relocated to the UK to study music after an inspiring songwriting retreat in Dumfries and Galloway in 2013. Now based in Glasgow, she blends acoustic jazz, folk rock, and electronica, writing vivid, story-driven songs about travel, love, fascinating people, animals, and outer space. Her work has picked up multiple songwriting awards and praise from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson for her “delicate vocal, poised production, gorgeous chord changes.”

She’s also the vocalist for Scottish prog rock band Long Earth and releases haunting and otherworldly music as Dora Lachaise.

“Maaike’s voice is butterflies-inducing.”
– Neil March, Trust the Doc
