so, here we are :) i wrote this song about my aphantasia (inability to picture things) and how instead of remembering faces, i associate the people i love with ideas, like pink skies :) i decided to post a snippet to tiktok and Instagram to see what people thought, and you all RAN with it :’) i am SO honoured by all of your kindness, i am a completely independent artist, and you are the BEST team i could ask for :’) i am so overwhelmed and thankful to each and every one of you. this is our song, thank you so so so much :)

Tell Me Something

the german word for despair is ‚verzweiflung‘ which has the word ‘zweifel’ (=doubt) at its core. this means that despair literally translates as ‘lost/entangled/caught up in doubts.’

etymologically, this can be explained by the loss of hope for improvement, i.e., doubt that something bad could turn out well in the foreseeable future.

one could philosophize at length about doubts. I guess this has already been done in heaps. especially since, beyond the torment of perceived hopelessness, doubts also have absolutely positive aspects. they are an essential part of intelligence and wisdom. just as their absence clearly indicates stupidity and arrogance (#dunning-kruger). so being smart always means agonizing over the question of whether you are actually smart.

apropos agonizing, a relatively tolerable form of despair undoubtedly goes hand in hand with the conflict between the desire for individual freedom and interpersonal bonds. can I translate that as the “have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too-dilemma”?

fortunately, I/we personally never had a problem with this, because I/we never experienced or felt our relationship as conflict of freedom and commitment. however, looking at the course of relationships in our son's generation, I get the feeling that there is a lot of turmoil at work. relationship stress and divorces all over the place. that fits with my album topic! 

here’s a song I wrote about 20 years ago with just the first line of the chorus and later released as a semi-instrumental on sc ages ago. now lyrics have been added (translation hopefully not too wordily phrased) – and with them vocals based on my guitar templates, where suno once again acted extremely annoying. the machine repeatedly tends to slip into hackneyed vocal patterns and that means having to start completely from scratch…

I reach for your arms, but I dream of the sky
I ache for your touch, yet I can’t comply
You whisper ‘home,’ and I drift away
Each time I linger, I lose my way

My heart’s confined while my thoughts run free 
Two fractured souls coexist in me
One craves the flame, one longs for the breeze 
I’m love’s own patient, undone by its disease

As much I love you, I feel the blues
The more I hold you, the more I lose

It’s a holy war, a graceful crime
To beg for forever yet plead for time 
You’re my redemption, my sweet undoing 
Every path I take leads back to you

There’s no victory in a game like this
Where freedom and love can’t coexist 
To live is to lose, to stay is to die 
So, I fade to ash beneath your sky

As much I love you, I feel the blues
The more I hold you, the more I lose
As deep I feel you, I lose my ground
As near I find you, you can’t be found

As long I chase you, the more I fade
As much I trust you, the more I’m afraid
As much I need you, I pay the dues
As much I love you, I feel the blues

As much I love you

it's been a long time coming, but here it is, i hope you all like it

lyrics:
i’m happy for you
i’m smiling for you
i’d do anything 
for you for you

it’s always for you
and never or me
i need it to stop 
so let me tell you please

i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely 
but i can’t tell you 
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

how many times
must i keep it inside
i need to let go 
and i swear that i’ve tried

but opening up 
means trusting others
and that’s just too much, 
i don’t want to bother

so i’ll keep it inside 
and bury it deep
i know it’s not healthy 
but you won’t hear a peep

though i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely
i could never tell you
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

something

buy it here!

feelings are fatal

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down? (Down)
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad (Heartbeat)
In the stillness of remembering what you have (Stillness)
(Lonely) And what you lost
(Oh) And what you had (Oh)
And what you lost (Oh)

[Chorus]
Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Say, women, they will come and they will go (Go)
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

[Post-Chorus]
You'll know
You will know
You will know

[Verse 2]
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself (I keep them to myself)
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad (Heartbeat)
In the stillness of remembering what you have (Stillness)
(Lonely) And what you lost
(Oh) And what you had (Oh)
And what you lost (Oh)

[Chorus]
Oh, Thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

[Post-Chorus]
You'll know
You will know
Oh, you'll know
You will know
You'll know
