Wonderfully implemented. A melting hedgehog of three incredibly talented musicians. A pleasure to listen to. Great collaboration. Bravo!

Reminds me a bit of French music...somehow. Love the lyrics sns production.

Really great song! Love the buildup, very nice guitar parts, and fabulous vocal melody and phrasing. Well done all around!

Nice track,like the sound..😊✨✨🌜

Wonderful pop ballad that touches the "feelings on the sleeve" of romantic love that is striving for lifelong a life-long relationship. Great composition and performances by all.

After 18 years of producing electronic music, I decided to go my way and challenge myself as songwriter and composer for handmade music. "Going My Way" is a wild ride through many different genres in between pop, rock and metal. We recorded this album as online collaborations with 23 musicians from all over the world. Thank you so much for making this dream come true!

Going My Way

My new indie pop song "Going My Way" is about overcoming turmoils and welcoming new beginnings. Starting with a guitar hook and piano, the song turned into an international full band production. "Going my way" is about someone who is leaving a relationship that is not working, and feels stunned, and half crazy. While at the same time stepping out into the unknown, and seeking another day while trying to stay above the storm clouds. It is emotional, and yet hopeful. Thank you for being part of that project!

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

===== LYRICS =====

Just got home and it’s early morn'
Fighting sleep and a thunderstorm
Get my way out from traffic horns
I can’t stop thinking about you

Went inside and poured a drink
Left it there by the sink
Your final words made me almost fall
As I began to process it all

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

Through half closed eyes I saw your face
With all our friends, in all those places
I should feel free and not disgraced
as our time is bent and broken

I can’t think about tomorrow
Or what you said in spite
I wish that I could finally borrow
Another body tonight

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

Wanna scream out
Wanna shout loud
Wanna scream out
wanna shout loud
I want to regain my sanity
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Feels like I'm going my way
Feels like I'm going my way

I’m going my way
Testing my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

I’m going my way
Testing my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

Going My Way (feat. Michael Karns)

“Promises” is an upbeat pop rock song about a relationship with someone unreliable. It's been fun to work on a handful of chords some months ago. After adding licks, soli and lyrics it became a catchy song with a twist. Thanks for the collab!

==== LYRICS ====

Promises sweet promises
You begged me to hold on
Then without a warning you walked away
You were gone

Time, it took some time
To feel alive feel strong
Then you came back with those famous excuses
I believed you I was so wrong

Baby I can’t do this anymore
There’s nothing left to spend
I could never be more sure
That I won’t be your dead end

I promise you…

Oh I believe in miracles
And turning water into wine
But I’m wise to your false prophecy
Not even you can turn back time

The years have shown me how to read
The danger in your eyes
The open road ahead of me
Every mile is mine

Baby I can’t do this anymore
There’s nothing left to spend
I could never be more sure
That I won’t be your dead end

I promise you…
I promise you…
I promise you…
I promise you…

"Pyromancer" is a fiery folk metal song about the conquest of a medieval fortress. Can something be more metal than fire, magic and a heavy wall of guitars?!

This song is what happens when weird ideas come to another and bring people together. The catchy melody longed for a hurdy gurdy and heavy guitars.  Jordan's power metal falsetto brought my pen and paper inspired lyrics into life. A rough demo of us two summoned Stephan and Simon, who handed in plenty of bass, mandoline and guitar takes. Ben had an idea for a violin solo I could never think of. We ended up writing and recording a metal song that may never existed, if we took ourselves too serious. We already had a videoclip in mind, but I grabbed my graphics tablet instead and drew the pyromancer with that evil grin on his face. 

Thanks for the joy you've brought to me. I hope you enjoy the song as much as we do! We wish you a happy new year - and now let the pyros go off!

==== LYRICS ====

Looking for a glimpse of fire
eyes burning with desire
When all warriors cross their blades
you're ready for the raids

Bastards climbing up the walls
They heed the final call
Archers firing into night
Call fellows to unite

This is your last turn
Let the ashes burn
Pyromancer!

Cloven hooves pervade the walls
As men fall into brawls
Ascent of fire on dried grass
Listen to that swelling brass

The brotherhood fulfills its aims
As foes burn down in flames
Ashes are all that remains
The smell of our disdain

This is your last turn
Let the ashes burn
Pyromancer!

This is your last turn
Let the ashes burn
Pyromancer!

Pyromancer (feat. Jordan Hirsch)

Turning frustration into a heavy waltz. "Wrench in the works" is an alternative metal song about psychological abuse. When you feel stuck, mistreated and just can't escape your situation it's like someone threw a wrench in the works causing the machine to stop and being unable to move. Ironically, this hypnotic 6/8 beat makes you want to move. 

"Wrench in the works" is the kind of song I could have never written intentionally. The heavy 6/8 drum groove combined with a minimalistic chord progression and a catchy riff in a weird scale just happened. Topic and words came just in an instant. I am happy that Chad replaced my clean and whispery vocal sketch with heavy screams of frustration. He wrote a guitar solo and got super wild on every instrument. Hell yes, THIS is the sound of frustration with a glimpse if hope in between. We had tons of fun and I just can't thank you enough for the super cool interpretation of one of the heaviest songs I wrote.

==== LYRICS ======

Nothing's as it seems
Quit living your dreams
Dismantle the machines
and lose your self-esteem

Toss me and turn
Got no lessons to learn
I don't know why I am so dependent

My longings and yearns
They will never return
It's time for being insurgent

7x
I can't move on
I can barely move on

I can't move
I can't move
I don't know why I can't move!

Stay on alert
Make me over-exert
Drop your weapons, desert
You threw a wrench in the works

Rave yourself hoarse
I am strung with remorse
You make me feel inconvenient

Don't dry up my source
Gather my inner force
I want to be disobedient

CHORUS

Wrench In The Works (with Chad Lenig)

"Angel In Jeans" is a song for our everyday hereos. Invisible to most of us, they contribute their time, knowledge or money to the society. When I wrote these lyrics I felt like I had something to say. You don't have to be a hero to do something good for others.

Musically, "Angel In Jeans" started as piano pop song with Caitlin's angelic voice. But the more synthesizers I added to the arrangement, the more it longed for a guitar. Garry spiced it up with a touch of funk. Thanks for the collaboration!

==== LYRICS ====
People don't believe in things
They've never seen or never heard before
They cry, they have fear
But they never ever will admit it openly

Though they're rich, they are poor
Though they're accompanied, they're still fools
In their minds they sit beneath a crown
Of importance and wealth while they drown

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
but I still keep on being it without doubt

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
But I still keep on being it without doubt

They only catch a glimpse of life
When they stare at somebody who is suffering
They won't realize
The one they stare at could be their effigy

People think, I have wings
That I fly and don't exist
But I sit and live in their midst
And doubt what they concede as true

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
but I still keep on being it without doubt

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
But I still keep on being it without doubt

Have you ever been too shy to confess your feelings for somebody else? "Don't tell me if it hurts" captures this struggle. 
I was randomly paired with singer-songwriter Nate Gerry, who wrote the lyrics and looked for somebody to compose a song. When sent me his lyrics, I had absolutely no clue about style, phrasing and harmonics - I did not even know what kind of music he enjoys! Right after reading his story, I was inspired to compose a hell of a pop rock ballad. After sending him a rough demo, we decided to turn it into a full band production. I am lucky, that I AM MEADOWS lend his vocals, guitars and bass to make this song come to life. Thank you both for turning a little idea into a big song!

==== LYRICS ====

Should I tell you how I feel? 
Or keep this fantasy going? 
Should I believe we're in love
Live in the never knowing? 

Does your heart skip a beat 
Do you think of someone else? 
Am I too young to be your man
Too soon for wedding bells? 

Don't tell me if it hurts 
Don't tell me if it's true 
Don't tell me anything unless you love me 

If it hurts 
Don't tell me if it's true 
Don't tell me anything unless you want it too 

I crave the smile on your lips 
When I am cracking a joke 
I love you looking at my way 
Even when you won't no 

I feel that giggle in my chest 
When words caught up in my throat 
I think you see me as a friend 
I pray to God that you don't 

Don't tell me if it hurts 
Don't tell me if it's true 
Don't tell me anything unless you love me 

If it hurts 
Don't tell me if it's true 
Don't tell me anything unless you want it too 

I'm under a spell I cast upon myself 
I want flesh and blood, no imagination
The only way to escape
Is to risk it all

Don't tell me if it hurts 
Don't tell me if it's true 
Don't tell me anything unless you love me 

If it hurts 
Don't tell me if it's true 
Don't tell me anything unless you want it too 

Don't tell me if it hurts
No no, no no
Don't tell me if it hurts
No no, no no no

Don't tell me if it hurts

Don't tell me if it hurts (feat. I AM MEADOWS)

Lyrics:

What can I say 
I don’t know what to think
Can’t shake this feeling
It overwhelms me

only solution
Seems to be
just to run away

That’s the way
I’ve dealt with
Everything before

every time 
I feel the fear 
and want to run away
I think of you
And I’m not 
so afraid

This tide incoming 
it feels so hopeless
There is no reason
No sense of purpose

pushed around so long
By things we can’t change
We feel abandoned
life has no meaning

that’s an illusion
Things are deeper than
we can ever know

There is infinite joy
Beyond understanding
Beyond the senses,
Living in the truth

Achieving this
no higher goal
grounded in being, unshaken
In pain and sadness

Content with whatever
unattached to pleasure
Gain true freedom
Enter absolute joy

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

Belief without faith
is a quagmire of doubt
never satisfied
In this world or beyond

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

every time 
I think of you
I’m not 
so afraid
