We had met for a jam session without plan and purpose during the last sunny Saturday afternoon last year. By the time of this recording, we hadn't known that soon we would want to go for pee break, that the studio door is self closing, that the key was left in the studio, and that we would end up with nothing but the clothes on ourselves, one face mask and a bit of cash, and that we would spend the rest of the day waiting in front of some pub until it would open because there were rumors that some Tim working there has another key.

Fun fact 18 days after publishing: Martin just showed up at our place this morning, he had lost his keys, wallet, phone etc. again. I served him a glass of water.

First attempt at recording post-surgery...a bit of a mess that I hope to clean up later? Every day I hope to get closer to my...dreams?

Come Closer (DEMOnstration?)

LIFT ME UP

Potrei sbagliarmi
Potrei ricordare male però 
Queste cose le ho già viste 
(le ho già viste) lo so 

Se non vado errato
Son passato varie volte qua
Una musica nota 
Mi suona sconosciuta 

Anche tu straniera del giorno
Amica della notte
Mi confondi coi tuoi mille volti
E il tuo profumo 

Sogno/realtà 
Dimmi tu che differenza 
(che differenza) fa
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te 

I miei occhi
Sfumature del cielo scrutano
È proprio vero o no 

La terra umida
Che tocco con le mie mani 
Ci sarà ci sarà domani 

Anche tu amica del giorno
Straniera della notte
Mi confondi coi tuoi mille volti
E il tuo profumo 

Sogno/realtà 
Come pagine di un libro
Letto per metà
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te 

Sogno/realtà 
Dimmi tu che differenza 
(che differenza) fa
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te

Sogno

A few small changes to the words...
This was tough, I have such a rough time with vocals, i rerecorded some of them and remixed the track..

Getting up at 4a m before the birds are singing
Rise and shine to the smell of coffee percolating
Load up the truck put the gear in the boat we’ll spend the day out fishing 
What a way to spend a saturday, out on the river 
And the coffeeville road is dark and long but we know which way to go
we’ve been this way a million times to our favorite fishing hole…
The old lock and dam on the Tombigbee river..

Take me down to the river one more time
Let me put my feet in the water to ease my mind 
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the wind blow through the trees 
The way it used to be  
 
The river is life, the river is love, but the river is tough sometimes
And the river is hope, the river  is dreams , as  it runs through our lives
it’s full of the memories of the times we had together
And it feels like it goes on and on, but nothing lasts forever

 And the Coffeeville road don’t seem as long as it did those years ago
And were going one more time to our favorite fishing hole..

Take me down to the river one more time
You can put your feet in the water to ease your troubled mind
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the shadows through the trees
My Dad and me…

Father's Day {Complete}

Der Frühling ist da, und reizt alle Sinne & Gemüter!
"Gezwitscher" means "Twitter". Of course the german word is much better than the english, it contains almost twice as much consonants.

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

Echoes Of Tomorrow (Tam-Jennifer, K2 and the 3, J.J. Terrell)

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
You come into my home
Through my screen
You see, I don't like to be alone
You know what I mean?
Sit next to my laser beam (2X)
A dystopian wet dream

Sit next to my laser beam
It's an American dream
AI Guru selling dopamine
Space age hookah store scheme
(C'mon C'mon) sit next to my laser beam
Because I am the one who loves you (2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

At a server farm out in the desert
Corporations force feed us our souls
Will you give up your control?
Does the phone make you whole?
This is all I know
Watch me make these circuits blow
Because I am the one that loves you(2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

Sit Next To My Laser Beam

Another version of the song can be found on the album "Cabaret", under the name "Trapped in Shadows [Cabaret]."

[Verse]
I wake up cold, the night still near,
A home that crumbles year by year.
Mama’s hands are rough, she can't let go,
Of dreams she lost a lifetime ago.

[Chorus]
Round and round, we push the weight,
Running faster, but it's too late.
Built to suffer, we can’t break free,
Lost inside this tragedy.

[Verse]
Crowds scream loud, but I can’t hear,
Their cheers are just a mask for fear.
We sing the songs they wanna feel,
But every note is less than real.

The lights are bright, they burn my skin,
But emptiness is all within.
Another show, another day,
I’m just a shadow on display.

[Chorus]
Round and round, we push the weight,
Running faster, but it's too late.
Built to suffer, we can’t break free,
Lost inside this tragedy.

[Bridge]
The world’s on fire, but we survive.
I wonder if we’re truly alive.
They say the world is ours to make,
But how much more can one heart take?

[verse]
My brother’s got hunger in his eyes,
But no one hears the quiet cries.
 
[Chorus]
Round and round, we push the weight,
Running faster, but it's too late.
Built to suffer, we can’t break free,
Lost inside this tragedy.

Just a Shadow on Display [Edit]
