Great job Mark! Love the groove and song!

Really a wonderful song. Great guitar! 👏👏👏

That 'runner's high' feeling is so real in the progression. 🏃‍♂️💨 You really captured that moment when the struggle turns into flow. The bluesy guitar touches are just perfect!

Hey Bartender

Inspired by the American Songwriter Association’s weekly prompt to write a song about yourself, “Not That Girl” reflects my journey through divorce and rediscovering my strength.

Thank you for listening, liking,

Not That Girl

Synth Pop

I enjoyed creating this beat from scratch and continued to add to it over the course of several weeks. I used a combination of synths over the beat and added the guitar, mixing in some bluesy polish from my new pedalboard. A combination of EVH phaser and JHS 424 gain stage, mixed with a Boss IR-2 clean tone. Lyrically, talking about transcending from rain running into olive trees, descending into the clouds, and playing a ukulele. The ringing bell tone served as the foundation for the song, accompanied by the chords. It’s up there on my strange meter; I had to share it immediately. You know how those morning runs always start out kind of difficult until you get into that pace and experience the runner's high. That’s how I feel about this song. 



Morning Run 

An old apple cart there’s a new shoe
Waiting for someone to wear
The meadow feels the rains energy
As I walk on to the next street

When I found a better way 
What else could I have done 
Then I found a new path
Along we take the morning run

Climbing higher reading retroglyph
Follow the cloud and the arc
Carts go flying through the hill slope
Windy as it changes tonight 

Then I found a better way 
The work is never done 
Blessed cause all is not lost again
When all we see is the morning run

Stealing dreams every note
Pull each falls and covers me
Thought I’d die 

Oh yeah…

Thought I’d take the other way 
Uke in the Cloud 

Olive Trees they go 
Straight into the sky I’ve played
These strings again

Thought I'd try a better way
What else could I have done
Playing the cloud uke in the field
Aurora see the morning run

Morning Run

P.D Mie Mi It

given my list of themes when I started working on my album “Despair,” here is my fourth-to-last song.

have you already been to an immersive art exhibition? using VR and AR glasses, 3D mapping, elaborately designed projections, and sophisticated soundscapes, these institutions offer the opportunity to witness art in a multisensory and emotional way.

before the remarkable advent of digital technology, this special pleasure could only be experienced by consuming widely discredited plants such as magic mushrooms, mescaline cacti, or a hawaiian baby woodrose. or through an instrument that has been almost replaced by electronic entertainment: human imagination.

this atrophying ability can unfold effects by far more immersive than anything that could ever be achieved through digital simulation because every imagination is absolutely unique, solely existing in the mind of the individual. 

think of the paintings by caspar david friedrich: heaps of immersive power for unique experiences, interpretations and lively discussions (one of carina and my favorite pastimes).

there is this enigmatic work, “winter landscape with church,” (see wikipedia), which at first glance shows exactly what its title suggests. but then you discover a detail in this scene, which has sparked the imagination of the many experts who have attempted to interpret it. many have identified religious messages in it.

I – largely unimpressed by christian iconography and theological confirmation bias – I just feel the icy cold mist creeping into my clothes, into my skin, into my bones. I smell the piercing frost in the air as the white fragrance of a vast nothingness. I hear the heavy silence of the snow. somewhere, the cry of a crow echoes, and an old tree sighs and cracks. I see the inhospitable outline of a cathedral, like a lifeless mirage from another world. and then, in front of me, I witness an infinitely wordless tragedy.

a person. in ultimate self-abandonment. in despair that leaves everything behind. following one final illusion that transforms a lonely death into a dream. a dream I tried to turn into a song. 

no need for special glasses.

He drops in the snow where the cold winds bite
No clue where he’s heading, no strength left to fight 
His crutches tossed down like: Man, I’m done 
Breath turning to clouds in the weak morning sun

Tiny fir trees stand there, quiet and small 
Iced-up and shivering but still standing tall 
They’ve taken the storms and they’ve ridden the night
But damn, they look peaceful in that pale blue light

Lone, lost in hope
No way to cope
Ice freezing breath
Tears
Grief 
And death

Through the fog in the distance a steeple breaks through 
Like a half-faded signal saying: Hey, still you 
A ghost of a promise in the silence and snow 
A place for the lost when they’ve got nowhere to go

He stares at that church with a shake in his chest 
Worn-out as hell but still trying his best 
And something inside, real tiny, real thin
Goes: Yeah, you’re hurting, but you’re not cashing in

Lone, lost in hope…

He hauls himself up with the last of his drive
Snow on his jacket but wait, he’s alive 
And the church just waits there, calm like it knows: 
You’re stuck in the frost, but you’ll get where you go

Lone, lost in hope…


Lone, lost in hope

A scammer tried to lure me in with an advance payment. He wanted a personalized birthday song. I was able to keep him on a leash long enough to get details about this fictional “birthday boy”,  which I turned into text. The profile has since been deleted, but I wrote the song anyway,  just re-dedicated it. It was an interesting inspiring experiment…

The marble sculpture "Monument to the Unknown Deserter" was created in 1989 at the instigation of the Bonn Peace Plenum by the Turkish sculptor Mehmet Aksoy, who was living in Berlin at the time.

A Birthday Garland

This is your birthday song.

Dear Unknown Deserter,
I only know you by name...
I heard today is your day.
So many candles on the cake.

Weren’t you the one with the wild hair?
What’s the color of  the socks you wear?
Always up for a prank?
Who makes the others laugh?
Who is blushing right now?

The one with the camera,
Capturing the moment?
Look around yourself,
All the loved ones, all your friends,
How they rejoice with you and they chant:

Weren’t you the one who dreamt of skydive?
Here's some dumb donkey jackass recommending:

Look around yourself, capture the moment
It is not the flight that matters, but the landing…

Look around yourself…
This is your life lately
All the loved ones, all your friends
Rejoice with you and they chant:

(... Look around yourself

All your loving ones and friends
They rejoice with you and they chant…)
