Introduction in English:

Sometimes I wonder if there is some kind of ‘safe place’ in this world. Everywhere I look: Wars, climate disasters, starvation and poverty. Not to mention the increasing everyday violence at home, in the neighbourhood and on the streets.
As early as 1962, John Lennon described in the song ‘There's a Place’ (perhaps also under the impression of the Cuban Missile Crisis at the time with the acute threat of a third world war) that sometimes the only thing left to do is to retreat to an inner safe place when the outside world (as is now increasingly the case again) is increasingly on the brink of an abyss.
In this respect, this song is highly topical, although I would like to add that the search for the inner safe place should only ever be temporary, in order to regain strength there (for example through one's own musical creativity) in order to make a greater contribution to the preservation of the earth and human coexistence in the outer world.
I am sure that John Lennon meant this kind of fluid balance between gathering oneself inwardly and being lovingly in the world.       

Introduction in German:

Manchmal frage ich mich, ob es auf dieser Welt eine Art "Sicherer Ort" gibt. Wo ich hinschaue: Kriege, Klimakatastrophen, Hungern und Armut. Ganz zu schweigen von der zunehmenden alltäglichen Gewalt zu Hause, in der Nachbarschaft und auf den Strassen.
John Lennon hat (vielleicht auch unter dem Eindruck der damaligen Kuba-Krise mit akuter Dritte Weltkriegsgefahr) in dem Song "There's a Place" schon 1962 beschrieben, dass einem manchmal nur der Rückzug an einen inneren sicheren Ort verbleibt, wenn die äußere Welt (wie jetzt zusehends wieder) zusehends an einem Abgrund steht.
Insofern ist dieser Song brandaktuell, wobei ich hinzufügen möchte, dass das Aufsuchen des inneren sicheren Ortes immer wieder nur vorübergehend erfolgen sollte, um dort (etwa über eigenes musikalisches Schaffen) wieder Kraft zu sammeln, um in der äußeren Welt verstärkt einen eigenen Beitrag zum Erhalt der Erde und des menschlichen Miteinanders zu leisten.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass John Lennon diese Art von Fließgleichgewicht zwischen sich innerlich sammeln und liebevoll in der Welt sein gemeint hat.

Lyrics:

Happy Not Hateful

Unrest

This song is about ambition and pursuing dreams. It’s the feeling you get when you love something so much, that you pursue it with passion. 
In my case it’s my love for creating Music.

Lyrics 

It is the sun 
On a rainy day 
Just one smile 
Troubles fade away 
And all that can remain
Is love love love 

It is the breath
Inside my lungs 
Its every song 
I’ve ever sung 
Cannot be outdone 
It’s love love love 

Pre Chorus 

I could wait all day stay up all night 
Just to hope for a reply
The hours gone by
My heads up in the sky 
With every day I want it more 
That’s what I’m living for 
It’s everything 
Everything 
Everything and more 

Chorus 

Ooh ooh ooh
It’s everything and more 
More than I could ever 
Ever ask for 
Ooh ooh ooh
Its’s everything and more 
More than I could ever 
Ever ask for 

Verse 2

It is a flower 
Full in bloom 
With just one look
I am consumed 
Oh I am consumed 
By love love love 

It is the spark 
That ignites a fire 
The object of my full desire 
And I will never tire 
It’s love love love 

Pre Chorus 

I could wait all day stay up all night 
Just to hope for a reply
The hours gone by
My heads up in the sky 
With every day I love it more 
That’s what I’m living for 
It’s everything 
Everything 
Everything and more 

Chorus 

Ooh ooh ooh
It’s everything and more 
More than I could ever 
Ever ask for 
Ooh ooh ooh
It’s everything and more 
More than I could ever 
Ever ask for

Everything and more (Out Now)

Taliesin was a Celtic bard who's difficult to date, but as some of his poems (although not this one) complain about the druidic monks losing all their mystic knowledge to comply with the new religion, we can at least assume he was living around the time of the Roman conquest of these isles. 

I'm very grateful to @APi_ZZ for so expertly (and patiently) guiding my hand on the DAW, and for titling the cover. If you enjoyed this, you might want to check out his excellent, but more modern interpretation, of the same material.

We need to stop giving pieces of our lives to people who don't deserve them.
Dobbiamo smettere di dare pezzi della nostra vita a persone che non li meritano.

Alright, here we are again.🔊
While we finish up our next song (yeah, it's gonna be called "In the Future", check the bio if you missed that) and the music video (it's gonna be a trip!), here's a little something to mess with your ears and brain in the meantime.
It's a no-frills Chiptune track, just for fun.👾
And since we had no idea what to call it, we named it RND (short for random), a nod to the classic BASIC command from back in the day.
See you next Friday, or better yet... in the future! 🔮🌀

RND (Instrumental - Chiptune)

[Verse]
Leather jackets on the line
Faded patches scream the time
Dusty boots that crushed the stone
Echoes loud of skulls and bones

[Verse 2]
Midnight roars the engine's breath
Shadows dance with life and death
Steel and fire in our veins
Freedom howls like wild chains

[Chorus]
Skulls and bones we're breaking free
Living loud no guarantee
Leather tough and hearts of stone
We are legends carved in chrome

[Verse 3]
Smoke and sparks in every mile
Rebels walking razor style
No regrets just battle scars
Underneath the blazing stars

[Bridge]
We don't bow we don't kneel
Riding hard on spinning wheels
Skulls and bones are our creed
Living fast is all we need

[Chorus]
Skulls and bones we're breaking free
Living loud no guarantee
Leather tough and hearts of stone
We are legends carved in chrome

The Stroll

Introduction and Lyrics in English:

The ghost forest really does exist on the German Baltic coast. Over the centuries, the beech, oak and ash trees have taken on bizarre shapes due to the Baltic wind and the many storms. To me, they look like bent, crooked figures that seem to be on the run from the recurring storms. 
As almost all the trees have only one crown and are completely bare underneath, they also give me the impression that they have shut themselves off from the fury of the storms and withdrawn into themselves.
In my imagination, the storms stand for the inner ghosts or demons that more or less haunt everyone rarely, sometimes often or always at night.  
For me, the trees in turn symbolize the sometimes panic-like fears and the need to flee when the inner ghosts appear.   
At the same time, in my mind the trees also stand for the great achievement of some people who nevertheless live and continue to live under the impression of permanent demonic inner storms: Admittedly somehow crooked, slanted and crooked; but nevertheless in a marvelous way peculiar, unmistakable and original.
This is the background against which the song ""Ghostly Forest"" was created.

Ghostly forest

Every night you are there
Like a fool tormenting me with relish
Like a sneering clown
You force me to look into my abyss

Mmh

Fall deep, almost unbearable these soul wounds
Give me this one shot that pulls me out of the tunnel of pain
aah

You tell me dark things
Accuse me, expose me, make me small
You put me before the last judgement
Spit brazenly in my scarred face

You give me the feeling
That all I want is to die, to be dead
Oooh
Seemingly salvation, consolation

No! Get up!
Get to your feet!
At the bottom
You're still healthy,

I was 
In the ghostly forest
I lost my way there,
I still find the gap
Which leads me to my Yes! to life
Leads me to life!

You never leave me in peace
Give me new blisters every night

When I think I've banished you now,
You come prancing in from the left

Not one tired night 
I woke up without your fearful bite
Behind windows, doors, cupboards you sit 
Always ready for the nightmare leap

This morning
my deepest soul centre would have almost
faded before you

You were on the verge of destroying my core
Dishonouring my dignity beyond repair

A deflated moment
Who knows only silence, rigor mortis
Oooh
Already thought I'd never return

No! Get up!
Get to your feet!
At the bottom
You're still healthy,

I was 
In the ghostly forest
I lost my way there,
I still find the gap
Which leads me to my Yes! to life
Leads me to life!

Gespensterwald (Ghostly Forest)

I am 17 years old and a singer / songwriter. I started my Music Career 5 years ago. 
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to sing and create music. When I was 8, the Music Teacher at school told me I couldn’t sing, and not to think about a future in music. 
From that day on I have been even more determined to sing, write music, take chances, and be prepared to fail many times. 
I write songs about resilience, perseverance and above all else believing in yourself and not listening to anyone who doubts you.
One of my supporters on SC wrote this comment recently, ‘You are the queen of hope and encouragement’ 
It made me feel proud of my music journey so far! 
Thank you for listening 🤍
