Q: How would you explain the feeling of romantic love to an alien from another planet? 
A: If the alien made it through the kind of technological chaos that led to deep space travel, they should be able to understand.
This one is dedicated to Kinga, my lovely wife.

Blues - Confession

Old ironic track ... but not too much
Sometimes I feel like I am possessed by an alien entity having fun behind my back.
I sleep little and my mind forces me to think and do a thousand things in one day.
I don't know how long I can go on like this 😊 
Thanks folk  for your time to listen!

Martian In Me

You've seen the starkest truth
You've heard the constant lying
How come you forget when propaganda's flying

CHORUS1
Don't you think that its time for revolution?
We've been moulded to shape an institution

A pile of bodies build
It is no time for smiling
A clown performs his act whilst mourners keep on crying

CHORUS1

CHORUS2
Knock knock I'm done with answering the door
You've got odd views sir
Your moral's are regrettably poor
Its all a huge blur

Its like a conjurer's trick
Or hypnotist - such power
To me your credibility is less each hour

CHORUS 1

Dunkelflaute

'Strong' is a song I wrote after a policeman instructed me to leave a city’s shopping street while I was working as a street artist. I was so… can I say ‘pissed’? So I had to write a song about it. This was 1992. I played the streets a couple of years when I was a student.

The lyrics of the song (below) point to a broader and still current subject. Staying strong in dynamic times is important for every one of us I think. Today more than ever probably. Follow your personal believes in peace all :)

Guitar is a Crafter or a EKO steel string acoustic, I'm not sure
Recording: live, analogue (Tascam 4-track)

This is a recording of a song 'just written'. In this respect I should have uploaded it on my other page https://soundcloud.com/sketches-from-holland/tracks but I didn't :)

Mix: In Cubase I edited a small guitar part around 1:03 minutes because I played one chord a little too long which interrupted the meter of the song.
Master: The stereo WAV track I used had been mastered before so it was not clean when I mastered it again. 
Equipment: Steinberg UR824, Ozone 7 adv. (EQ, Imager and Vintage tape) plus Lexicon LXP Native Hall Reverb VST

Lyrics:

Hey what’s your name
I’m not a game to play
Hey we’re the same
You should feel ashamed to say
I don’t belong to this day

[chorus:]
If you think you’re strong
I’ve got something for you
Cause I feel strong
I think my way
Nothing’s gonna change that
I think my way
It makes me what I am
I feel strong
I feel strong

Day by day
Strongen my way   [note: I know this is not proper English 😉]
Leaded by the inner words I pray
Hey I’m not afraid
To feel the shade
Because I know who I am

[chorus]

Strong

矢印が示す先には何もない約束の場所行き暮れる夕
矢印が示す先には何もない帽子目深に地図を見直す

I looked at the city map.
There was nothing where the arrow points.
I didn't know the promised place. 
I wore the hat low over my eyes and reviewed the city map.
