chart worthy lads , a catch on melody and perfect vocal key for the fox cheers

Fantastic track Mike!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Really wonderful vocals! Axel is the man! Y'all are both very talented!

A great team turns out a great tune! Love the lyrical message, and this melody is the perfect vehicle. Awesome radio-ready production, as always.

When you and Axel team up to do a song, great things happen--ha, just ask me;))  You give Dave's song a wonderful treatment.  Kudos to all of you!

Great hook. Simple and effective song. Awesome vocals.

NO WAY TO ANNIHILATE A HIDDEN HAPPINESS

First new track out in a good while!  Lots of fun on this one just experimenting with different modulations and filtering.  Spent much more time trying my best at getting a good end result, I'm not great at mastering but tried to get a clean end sound. All feedback welcome!

Konvarische

there was no whey

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Lyrics:
J'entends les cris là-haut d'une autre qui se débat , d'une femme qui pour cette fois ci n'est pas moi. Rien ne doit transparaitre , je ne dois pas laisser mes larmes couler et se frayer un chemin jusqu'à mes lèvres scellées . Et même si les bleus sous ma peau se réveillent , je dois les ignorer et agir comme si tout était pareil...
La peur de lui parce qu'un verre de trop
surtout se fondre invisible sans  mots
elle en vit par la force à coté de la vie
prisonnière isolée sans porte de sortie
cécité de son sang et de ses amitiés
ne pas parler se taire rien ne doit transpirer
se voiler d' un rideau de tissus de mensonge
triste jeu de cache cache qui consume et qui  ronge
Et il dit qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
mentir au soleil quand la lune voit tout
les nuits sont cruelles écrasées de tabous 
la honte qui maquille la vérité trop laide
qui étouffe les cris de ces appels à l'aide
accoudés au silence les sévices bien tranquilles
se prennent du bon temps ils jouent à domicile
au coupable les mains pleines de frappes de raisons
à la victime le doute de fuir sa déraison
Et il dit qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
le sourire de façade sous des tonnes de semblants
donner le change à celles comblées par leurs amants
vider ses yeux de tout ce qui pourrait trahir
ces miroirs la qui font qu'elle ne pourrait mentir
les bleus des sentiments qui lui cognent à la peau
violence d'un élément qui laisse sur le carreau
un corps vandalisé mort pour la fratrie
tombé au champ d'horreur abattu par celui
Qui disait qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
des baisers dans la gueule
caresses à poings fermés
d'un amour qui dégueule
de passions débordées
La tendresse des coups
Je ne peux les laisser atteindre ce rivage à nouveau où les vagues d'une mer intérieure continue se brisent en silence...

I can hear the cries of another woman struggling, a woman who this time is not me. I mustn't let anything show, I mustn't let my tears flow and make their way to my sealed lips. And even if the bruises under my skin awaken, I must ignore them and act as if everything were the same...
Fear of him because one glass too many
above all melting away invisible without words
she lives by force beside life
prisoner isolated with no way out
blindness of her blood and her friendships
don't talk shut up nothing must transpire
veil itself with a curtain of cloth of lies
sad game of hide and seek that consumes and gnaws away
And he says he adores her...always a little harder... until death
lie to the sun when the moon sees all
nights are cruel crushed by taboos 
shame that disguises the truth too ugly
that muffles the cries for help
crouched in silence quiet abuse
have a good time they play at home
to the guilty hands full of strikes of reasons
to the victim the doubt to flee his folly
And he says he loves her... always a little harder... until death
the facade of a smile under tons of pretence
giving the lie to those fulfilled by their lovers
emptying her eyes of anything that might betray
those mirrors that make it impossible for her to lie
the bruises of feelings pounding against her skin
violence of an element that leaves
a vandalized body dead for the siblings
fallen in the field of horror shot by the one
who said he adores her...always a little harder... until death
kisses in the face
caresses with closed fists
of a love that spews out
of overflowing passions
The tenderness of blows
I can't let them reach that shore again where the waves of a continuous inner sea break in silence...

"Let's Try Again" - Edeltraud Trncik feat. Viktor Trncik

A song about second chances, originally written in 2010, 
now remastered and reimagined in 2025 with full orchestral arrangement.

When a singer-songwriter and an engineer-musician create together,
magic happens. This is our invitation: Let's Try Again.

🎹 Piano, Strings, Guitar, Bass, Drums
⏱️ 3:14
📍 Freiburg, Germany
💙 For everyone who believes in second chances

Lyrics:
How do I know that I've loved you all this time
Does it surprise you all that we turn around and smile
And I've been waiting for an invitation to your life
I've said what's now in this note that I leave on your pillow
So why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

And if they could see us
They might say what you said last year
And if we could change them
We'd be lovers again not friends
Well I've been waiting for an invitation to your love
I said in this note I left on your pillow
What now
Why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

Yes tonight I can hear you whisper
The words you would say if we were honest
Tonight I could feel it when you were next to me
And baby it's so clear to me that we can go back
And I've been waiting for an invitation to your life
So why don't we try again
Why don't we try again
Darling take my hand I promise you it won't be like before
But darling baby we can try again

And just pretend nothing happened
Let me look into your eyes
Then we'll kiss and take it slow
But I always knew that I love you

Let's Try Again

Turn around and face yourself
There’s nothing you can do
For you see there’s no escape
Love’s got a hold on you

It doesn’t matter what you say
It doesn’t matter what you do
There is simply no other way
Love’s got a hold on you
Chorus

Don’t hide your love
Don’t hide your love
Don’t hide your love away
Bridge

Every time you turn around
There’s a love that’s newly 
There’s a love that’s newly found
Solo

So don’t you try and hide
For you know that it’s true
Somewhere deep down inside
Love’s got a hold on you
Chorus x 2

End 

Love’s got a hold, love’s got a hold

Love’s got a hold on you

Don't Hide Your Love

Philosophisches Duett über die zeitlose Weisheit, dass wahres 
Glück nicht im Ankommen, sondern im bewussten Gehen liegt. 
Chamber Folk mit Cello/Violin-Arrangements, progressive Taktarten 
(7/8, 5/4) und zwei Stimmen, die Generationen verbinden. 
Für Fans von Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes und moderner Kammermusik.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Im Morgengrauen der Seele erwacht
Ein rastlos Herz, das nach dem Horizont sich sehnt
Die Ungeduld der Zeit hat uns gemacht
Zu Jägern, die dem nächsten Glück entgegen gehen

Immer rennen, niemals ankommen hier
Zwischen Atemzügen hält die Zeit still
Ein Zauber webt sich leise, sanft wie Schnee
Zeigt den Weg, den ich schon immer gehen will

Die Wahrheit liegt so nah
War immer schon da
In uns

Es gibt keinen Weg zum Glück
Glück ist der Weg, den wir gehen
In jedem kleinen Augenblick
Kann ich die ganze Welt schon sehen
Nicht am Ende wartet das Gefühl
Nein, es tanzt in jedem Schritt
Das Leben ist kein fernes Ziel
Es singt in unserem Rhythmus mit

Zwischen Anfang und Ende
Zwischen Traum und dem Erwachen
Leben wir

Der Duft von Regen auf dem warmen Asphalt
Ein Lachen das von tief im Herzen kommt
Die Wärme einer Umarmung ungezählt
Das ist das Glück, das in uns wohnt

Nicht wischen nach dem Glück, wisch als das Glück
Die junge Seele spürt es schon so lang
Zwischen Hetze und dem Stillstand liegt der Trick
Im bewussten Gehen liegt der Klang

Es gibt keinen Weg zum Glück
Glück ist der Weg, den wir gehen
In jedem kleinen Augenblick
Kann ich die ganze Welt schon sehen
Die Revolution ist nicht das Ankommen
Sie lebt im bewussten Sein
In jedem Jetzt ist alles gewonnen
Der Weg selbst lädt uns ein

Der Weg selbst ist das Geschenk

English translation:
At dawn, the soul awakens
A restless heart that longs for the horizon
The impatience of time has made us
Hunters who pursue the next bit of happiness

Always running, never arriving here
Between breaths, time stands still
A spell weaves itself quietly, gently like snow
Showing me the path I've always wanted to take

The truth is so close
It was always there
Within us

There is no path to happiness
Happiness is the path we walk
In every little moment
I can already see the whole world
The feeling doesn't wait at the end
No, it dances with every step
Life is not a distant goal
It sings along with our rhythm

Between beginning and end
Between dream and awakening
We live

The scent of rain on warm asphalt
A laugh that comes from deep within the heart
The warmth of countless hugs
That is the happiness that dwells within us

Don't wipe away happiness, wipe away as happiness
The young soul has felt it for so long
Between rushing and standing still lies the trick
In conscious walking lies the sound

There is no path to happiness
Happiness is the path we walk
In every little moment
I can already see the whole world
The revolution is not the arrival
It lives in conscious being
In every now, everything is won
The path itself invites us

The path itself is the gift

Der Weg ist das Glück

So, our friend (assuming he really is our friend) is no longer alone at home. The work week is over, it’s been a hard one. Maybe for both of them: for him, and for the woman now leaning out the window. There’s a touch of unease in the air, and it’s not necessarily connected to how things are going between them. Maybe something is about to happen. Or maybe not. The only sure thing is that they’re not interested in finding out.

This is the fourth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way. This time I struggled to make it to the end, adding and removing, changing and restoring and working to the mix. I probably messed things up a bit (thirty recorded tracks, twenty of them muted...), but never mind.

In case nothing happens - part 4 (late afternoon)*

I fully expect some people to get creeped out and unfollow but when I used to go to church, I’d get creeped out, so this is that, and fair is fair. I'd probably get arrested in the former Unites States. FYI, I'm not really a witch.

Lyrics:

They say kneel, they say pray, then rub my shoulders and look away.
Bitter tales and the air is stale, and every song scrapes like nails.

Fingers grip far too long and voices wail and they call it song.
Speaking in tongues I can’t translate, and threats of fire if I escape.

Eyes are closed when questions burn.  
God is needy, I have learned.  
Every sermon strokes a fear and every smile masks a sneer.

If I stumble I must pay the vengeance dressed in holy gray.
I hear whispers through the walls judging me with ancient laws.

Close your eyes, eyes that pry, I was born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly.

No one’s born to kneel or pray, they teach us fear to make us pay.
Books are closed when questions burn but we are here, you never learn.

Hands on eyes, eyes that pry, born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly

Who I love terrifies you
A coven hidden in your pews
Your God’s a myth and you’re a fake
We live beside you, wide awake

We Live

Knee deep in snow
let the wind blow
Touch the ice in my 
heart and the frost in my soul
When the moon rises
It melts the snow and ice
Thats in my soul and my body
Relieving my crisis

Rising from the ashes on a silent Christmas eve
The stars are points of Icicles and the wind begins to Freeze
Give me one more chance and I'll tell you what I feel

Christmas comes alive
Before the winter sunrise
Tonight your star will shine
As Christmas comes alive

Snow falling down
But you can't hear a sound
Dancing flakes on the breeze
And sparkles on the ground
We gathered in the night
By the holy candlelight
Where the choir sang along
To the early morning song

Candy cane surprises lie behind the Cristmas tree
Before the dawn arises fairy lights for company
Silent in the night
Now tell me what you feel

Christmas comes alive
Before the winter sunrise
Tonight your star will shine
As Christmas comes alive

Christmas comes alive
Before the winter sunrise
Tonight your star will shine
As Christmas comes alive

When the night gives way
Turns to Christmas day
All the world so still
Peace love and goodwill

Choir sang along
Early morning song
All the world so still
Peace love and goodwill

Cristmas comes alive

Christmas comes Alive

Songster version was a little ‘copla’ about not being able to be with, nor without, a loved person.  As usual, I’ve ‘upgraded’ it, process from which you only get the final result, normally. 

But, following lyrics’ contradictions, I not only serve parts with different levels of (dis)order in heavy rock - flamenco sauce, but raw vs very cooked parts as well, starting with the improvised phone recording of the very first idea I had to develop the song, so please excuse my failures and noises.

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)  /  I know where you're coming from (Don’t you leave again)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pena,        /  when you come with that sweet sad face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes llorando sin que te duela,     /  when you come crying without any pain,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando dices que quieres hablar conmigo,  /  when you say that you want to talk to me,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando quieres estar al lado mío,                /  when you want to be by my side,

te veo venir (x3)                                           /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pilla,          /  when you come with that sweet sly face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa sonrisa, chiquilla,    /  when you come with that smile, little girl,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)
