I was really in the flow when making this track. It became a very late night but it was worth it. The birds in the background are from the birds that live close by my house.

The birth of the track was 23:44 the 3rd of february 2021
Final mix created the 24th of february 2021

Dreaming of Dreamwave

Starship Velociraptor - Jonathan Young

"[...] Wir träumen von Reisen durch das Weltall: ist denn das Weltall nicht in uns? Die Tiefen unsers Geistes kennen wir nicht. – Nach innen geht der geheimnisvolle Weg. In uns, oder nirgends ist die Ewigkeit mit ihren Welten, die Vergangenheit und Zukunft. [...]"
aus: Novalis: "Blütenstaub"

"We dream of traveling through the universe—but is not the universe within ourselves? The depths of our spirit are unknown to us—the mysterious way leads inwards. Eternity with its worlds—the past and future—is in ourselves or nowhere."
from: Novalis: "Pollen"

"Engage!"
Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Lyrics:
Imaginary battlefields
Long adventures and fairytales
whatever our minds create

Discovering bit galaxies
and our growing list of young lovers dreams
whatever our hearts can see
let us breathe

Find your way
like a summers day
let the oceans waves
drift your soul away

We all grow old the same
but let’s live young while it’s still today
yes it’s still today

Summer Wave

Summer's Day (feat. GeoVoc & Dimi Kaye)

„You have a kind of sick desperation in your laugh.“
„First you´ve gotta know – not fear, know – that someday, you´re gonna die.“
[Tyler Durden, „Fight Club“]
Whenever I see a crowd of people, ecstatically dancing and (seemingly) completely letting themselves go, euphoria and widened pupils everywhere, at some point these words come to my mind. Then a celebration of life suddenly changes into a collective ritual of denial. That´s basically why I used to feel quite sad at outdoor-raves.

Disco Melancholica

"In your happier days how could you ever
Know how far away your harbor lies?
Home, poor heart, you cannot rediscover,
If the dream alone does not suffice."
(F Hölderlin: "To Nature", 1795)

"Das erfuhrst du nicht in frohen Tagen, 
Daß so ferne dir die Heimat liegt, 
Armes Herz, du wirst sie nie erfragen, 
Wenn dir nicht ein Traum von ihr genügt."
(F. Hölderlin: "An die Natur", 1795)

AWITW - NEVER GROW UP (feat. SOLA THE LUVA)

Follow SOLA THE LOVER : https://soundcloud.com/solathelover

/

Had a dream last night,

that a lot o' shit I'm sufferin'

just vanished away.

Like "what?"

Memories at lie.

Wanna rely but I know most of us

had forgotten the way.

But I had a dream flying out this BUSAN CITY. SEOUL CITY.

I had a dream I could feel what you've been meanin'.

What you've been feelin' right now.

Right now, luv is a part of you.

Never let 'em break like the neons got me broke like this.

Fucked like this.

How could ya show lovings after all that shit.

넌 마치 어린 아이.

/

So when the waves over flow and all,

I really can't afford the feelings I'm into.

And when the clouds look all beautiful,

I really think I needa hug ya.

Think I needa hug ya.

/

I never grow up.

Still be the same as when I was young.

All I gotta do's play.

You'd be the one,

whom I wanna go place my fuckin' memories look alive.

I never grow up.

Still wanna be the same as when I was in luv.

What ya gon' say.

The city got me wrong.

I'm 'bouta go change my view so I could look alive.

Never grow up.

Never grow up.

Never wanna grow.

Ya. Y'all gotta see me fuckin' luv again.

Ya. I never grow up.

Never grow up.

Never wanna grow.

Ya. Y'all gotta see me fuckin' luv again.

Ya. I never grow up.

/

I could never grow up.

네가 웃으며 이어팟 끼워줄 때마다.

I could never grow. Nah.

네가 웃으며 꿈에 대해 말할 때마다.

지키기가 어려운 것들을 안을 때마다.

Can't you see, in the city lights,

I'm not sure what I'm spittin now.

Could be some luv, could be hate for the city I ride around

like I'm the fuckin' one.

But it costs a fuckin' lot to keep like it's done.

I'm tired of all this shit.

Bae, I think I need a bit o' luv like a kid.

Tangled in the city,

I needa learn to think what the bliss'd be.

Would I ever get a real kiss.

/

I had a dream flying out this PARIS CITY. NEW YORK CITY.

I had a dream I could feel what you've been meanin'.

What you've been feelin' right now.

/

No, I never grow up.

Still be the same as when I was young.

All I gotta do's play.

You'd be the one,

whom I wanna go place my fuckin' memories look alive.

I never grow up.

Still wanna be the same as when I was in luv.

What ya gon' say.

The city got me wrong.

I'm 'bouta go change my view so I could look alive.

Never grow up.

Never grow up.

Never wanna grow.

Ya. Y'all gotta see me fuckin' luv again.

Ya. I never grow up.

Never grow up.

Never wanna grow.

Ya. Y'all gotta see me fuckin' luv again.

Ya. I never grow up.

From an Interview with Ray Bradbury:

" - You grew up believing that to fantasize was the same as to daydream, to be idle, to be some kind of a ne'er-do-well but yet I know that you don't look upon fantasizing as something that's ... evil.

- No, and it's a shame that this concept ever got going with any people at all because I've always claimed that the ability to fantasize is the ability to survive, the ability to fantasize is the ability to grow."

From "Eichmann in Jerusalem" by Hannah Arendt:

"The judges were right when they finally told the accused that all he had said was “empty talk”—except that they thought the emptiness feigned, and believed that the accused wished to cover up other thoughts, which were not empty but hideous. This supposition seems refuted by the striking consistency with which Eichmann, despite his rather bad memory, constantly repeated, word for word, the same stock phrases and self-invented clichés (when he did succeed in constructing a sentence of his own, he thereupon repeated it until it became a cliché) in referring to every event or incident that was of some importance to him. Whether he wrote his memoirs in Argentina or in Jerusalem, whether he talked to the police examiner or to the court, what he said was always the same, expressed in the same words. The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think; that is, to think from the standpoint of somebody else. No communication with him was possible, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the words of others, or even the presence of others, and hence against reality as such." [In the german version of the text Arendt adds: "absoluter Mangel an Vorstellungskraft", translated: an absolute lack of imagination].
