Notre vie n'est elle pas qu'un vaste mensonge dans ce que l'on a fait , ce que l'on fait et ce que l'on fera ? Où se cachent nos mensonges ?

Lyrics:
J'ai fait beaucoup de mal
Ma peau est si chaude
Abîme abyssal
Je survis en fraude
 Sculptez ma pierre tombale
Je déménage à l'aube
Dites à la brume de descendre
Dans sa plus belle robe

Where fate lies ?

Qui étrangle ce goût vivant
D'aller dans le présent
J'ai des preuves que les gens meurent
Assez de prières et de pleurs
Toutes les vies sont glissantes
Je crois qu'on ne s'aime pas.
On jette ceux qui nous détestent
On pardonne à ceux qui restent

Where fate lies ?

C'est quoi la règle du jeu
Solitaire de la mort
Des espoirs pour un peu
Je sais pas si j'ai tort
Pas même la pluie enfin
Dans des rivière perdues
Ne perd son chemin
Sa raison d'être son but

I've done a lot of damage
My skin is so hot
Abyssal abyss
I survive as a fraud
Carve my tombstone
I'm moving at dawn
Tell the mist to come down
In her best dress
Where fate lies?
That strangles this living taste
To go into the present
I've got proof that people die
Enough praying and crying
All lives are slippery
I think we don't love each other.
We throw away those who hate us
We forgive those who stay
Where fate lies?
What's the rule of the game
Solitaire of death
Hopes for a little
I don't know if I'm wrong
Not even rain at last
In lost rivers
Does not lose its way
Its purpose its goal

Where fate lies  (feat Sylvie Tiret)   TRANSLATED

"Something More" is the story of a young man, who falls for somebody unreachable. It's about being lost in sweet dreams and the hope for something more though it's clear that they are not made for each other. 
When Stefan sent me the draft for his singer-songwriter / pop-rock song, his bittersweet melodies and happy chords inspired me to jump back to carefree teenage years. The arrangement and programming has been established in close collaboration. Flinn adds his deep voice and young spirit, turning this song into something special. Thank you so much!

==== LYRICS ====

On a foggy Sunday
you make my sky turn blue
I wonder how life would be like
if I were you

Would you save the last dance
or hang up with your friends?
Maybe you're a lone wolf
either way I'm okay

I noticed you dig vegan food,
but I like mac and cheese
I don't mind trying miso soup
but only if you please

Everytime I look into your 
pretty big brown eyes
Everday you pass me 
by I begin to fantasize

What if I said something wrong,
something I have overseen?
Even if it feels like a dream,
I still hope for something more,
something more

What's your favourite sports team?
Or are you into art?
Would you join me for a drink
celebrate our brand new start?

Do you enjoy sunsets
or strolling with my pets?
Have you ever been through 
a cascade of regrets?

I wish I had the guts to tell you
how much you mean to me
I lie awake and fill my blankets
with night-time thoughts instead

Everytime I look into your 
pretty big brown eyes
Everday you pass me by 
I begin to fantasize

What if I said something wrong
something I have overseen?
Even if it feels like a dream,
I still hope for something more,
something more

Something More

When Manuel sent me a guitar track over a year ago I fairly quickly decided to write an epilogue for Major Tom. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longish break from writing music. With infinite patience Manuel waited for me until now and to my even greater surprise this retro lyric has become almost current with the two NASA astronauts in space waiting for their return trip to Earth.



SEND ME A ROCKET
(MAJOR TOM THE EPILOGUE)

I can’t hear you 
Still I can see you
A cloudy ball in space
Nothing to keep it in place
This is my beautiful view
Nothing can make things right
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
This can’t be
This can’t be
My final fate

It’s been so long
It feels like you forgot me
Nobody cares about the shirts I wear 
Did you move onto something new
Cause I’m still looking at you
I’m still waiting for you

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Show me that you love me

You forgot so soon
It hurts all the time
You forgot I was a shining star
You wouldn't write enough about me
Oh, oh, I’m so sad

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Lighten your pocket
Show me that you love me
Send me some hope
Some hope

I can’t let go
I dream all the time
I wanna feel the sun and wind
I wanna go home

Stuck in my tin can
With no way out, out
Shiny and bright
Can you hear me shout, shout
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
Oh no, oh no
I want to go
Want to go
Want to go 
Want to go home
Go home
This can’t be
This can’t be

Send Me A Rocket

Send Me A Rocket | Major Tom The Epilogue

How far have i gone 
What is this road i’m on
That leads so far from home

Are you here with me now, 
Now that i need you, No, 
i lost you long ago

And I’m barely hanging on 
I need to find the way today
And darling, I miss you so
just give me a sign and lead the way

If it’s the last thing i do I’m coming home to you
back where i belong
I’ll find the way No matter what it takes
down this road so long
You don’t know what’s here till it's gone

In some other life, Or maybe a distant dream,
that i don’t quite recall
But I close my eyes, and i’m there it seems
where you and I had it all

The sound of the children play
And the dogs out in the yard  
The fragrant flowers bloom away
It all seems so near and yet so far

If It's The Last Thing I Do

Emilio, https://soundcloud.com/stranger-something and https://soundcloud.com/olla-de-insomnio , sent me this wonderful instrumental with the hint that „…at some point it had occurred to me that it would be called "When I see you“…“ 
I had a lot of fun writing and singing along to it. 
A Big Thank You for the great music, mixing and mastering and also artwork. It was an honour and a great pleasure...

When I See You

1
When i see you
I could almost puke
When I see you
A strange shudder goes through and through 
When I See You
My head turns bloodred
While the world shifts in two halves
None of them would last
Without the other one…

2
When i see you
And that happens now and then again
It’s too uneasy to explain

My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look at the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart, that pound
And am all agitated

I avoid all pictures of you
Try not to think about it too much
Close my inner eye, too…

3
When i see you
And that happens now and then again
Oh, it’s so uneasy to explain

My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look on the ground
My breathing gallops 
And then my heart that pounds… ahh…

solo

4
You never talk to me
No reaction you show
Just stand somewhere off silently, 
Peripheral,
In the background
Wthout a sound

How can I see what is not there ?
How can I remind what never took place ?
How can I feel that i was close to you,
Even if that was unreal ?

And if I’d see you
As a monster,
As a hypocrate,
As a drama queen ?
And if i’d see you
As a mirror image,
As a saviour,
As a lover … ?

out
When I see you
Oh, when i see you
It’s so uneasy to explain
It’s too uneasy to explain…

When do I see you ?
When will i see you ?
When will i see you again ?
Ohh

When I See You (wt Stranger Something)

Not everything turns out right at first time. Carry on, and believe in your dreams. "Hold On To Your Dreams" should empower you to try something new and find yourself.

==== LYRICS ====

Hold on to your dreams
Let us see what they'll become
Hold on to your dreams
Like tomorrow will never come

Don’t sit back and settle for
All the stuff you see that's wrong
And don’t you listen to
All their broken dreams

But if you trust in yours
Then they will grow 

Tonight let's show them
We can be just what we want 
Tonight we're moving our dreams 
From the back row to the front

We'll find a way through it
Oh Lord I hope I'm right
We'll swerve the final hurdles
Move from the dark into the light 

You gotta work at it
So head up high you'll be alright  

You've reached the ceiling
So break it into dust
Do what makes you come alive
Forget the other stuff

So hold onto your dreams
Let us see what they'll become
Hold on to your dreams
Like tomorrow will never come

You’ve got to take a chance 
before you time is gone, so

Tonight let's show them
We can be just what we want 
Tonight we're moving our dreams
From the back row to the front

Tonight we’ll show them
We will be just what we want 
Tonight we come alive

Hold On To Your Dreams

CAST OF CHARACTERS:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Initial composition/seed idea, foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar
Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began as a haunting guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also did an additional accoustic accompaniment and that crunchy distorted guitar once some of us started adding parts. Ken was first up, adding his reggae-tinged drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. Mark then came up with some dark lyrics and added his unique, Tom Waitsian vocals. He also added the high organ during the banjo solo, followed by a toy piano which you can faintly hear right after the solo. Also for the solo he created a clanky percussion arrangement, blending in elements from Ken's percussion sound too. Stephen followed shortly after with the atmospheric reggae-style guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear around the middle. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his trademark organ sound and paired up a piano and flute track to seal the deal with some melodic ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool creaking door & rain storm effects that open and close the song, and in other spots. Mark filled the main production duties on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team. Both Ken & Stephen provided a choice of mastering options to choose from… a nice gesture to put a bow on this one. 
This song is an homage of sorts to the great Tom Waits - we're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
ORIGINAL LYRICS BY MISTERMARK:

I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
a little like a shady deposit
and it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
like a raincoat filled with bones
see I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
and I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
and the hand bone’s connected to me
and every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

(swing it boys)

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
and it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
like a raincoat filled with bones
see I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
and I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Bones (The Eclectic Collective)

Most songs about break-ups, failed relationships and broken friendships are about despair, anger and grief. When I wrote "Goodbye Warrior", I decided to write about a courageous and understanding person, who realised that accusations don't make anything better. Forgiveness is the key. This song is about finding inner strength, and separate in friendship. Maybe we just chose the wrong type of relationship instead of the wrong person.

==== LYRICS ====

You call me a liar
but I don't think I'm that selfish anymore
Your heart is on fire
but I'm not the one you are looking for

Keep the distance for a while
please slow down mile by mile
it is not, that I don't need you 
That's not how the story ends
I want us to be friends

Though I can keep myself upright
Though I own up to every stupid mistake
I can't help the way I feel tonight
Goodbye warrior – Here comes the knight

I dial your number
but I don't succeed in holding the line
I need to see you face to face, yeah
that would be fine …?
 
Keep the distance for a while
please slow down mile by mile
it is not, that I don't need you
That's not how the story ends
Lovelife cancelled - friendship bends

Though I can keep myself upright
Though I own up to every stupid mistake
I can't help the way I feel tonight

Though I can keep myself upright
Though I own up to every stupid mistake
I can't help the way I feel tonight

Today I will stop surrendering
Tonight I'll stop worrying 
I'll be tender, discard my dagger!

Now I can keep myself upright
I won't own up to every stupid mistake
I adore the way I feel tonight

Now I can keep myself upright
I won't own up to every stupid mistake
I adore the way I feel tonight
Goodbye warrior – Here is your knight!

Goodbye Warrior

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

J'ENTENDS RIEN  (Lyrics)

I'm not doing any music these days,so I thought I'd post one I did years ago. It's a cover of a Paul Ads song I've always loved.

Paul Adamson is a damn fine songwriter and I hardly ever record covers of other folk's work,but this one resonated deeply with me and still does after repeated listens.
I didn't lean too heavy on the production on this,because I wanted to allow the song to shine. I hope you enjoy and bring a few listens to Paul's cloud.

Words and music by PaulAds. Song covered by Davy Vance

Paul's music can be found here. @thefuneralcrasher

So Haunt Me - a song by PaulAds (The Funeral Crasher)

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. Follow me on Bandcamp or YouTube for the full discography. I don't use AI and never will.

January 2025:
I'm taking a break from music. No collabs, no songwriting, just finishing songs from my pile. It can take a while until I can upload something new. I am re-releasing older songs, but I have technical issues putting them in order. Listens, comments snd reposts appreciated.
