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

In Trance

A deep and dark song about sorrow and sadness. Initially written on piano, I decided to add dissonances and abstract soundscapes. I am very happy that Michael leaned into the dark theme and wrote sparse lyrics with a lot of meaning in between the words.

==== LYRICS ====

I'm on my own
Here alone
Almost at the bottom
How did we fail?

Did we change?
How are you?
Because I found
Something inside
Something close to us

It's only some words
Calling out 
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true
    
Help me
Help me understand
This new land
Desolate and blue

In the end
It's always been us
You and me
On our own journey

To a new place
It's only some words
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true

Calling To Me

Unfortunately, SoundCloud and my distributor have technical issues putting them in order. Everything is displayed as new, but it ain't! As a rule of thumb electronic music is old.
