„When the observer's shadow falls on a layer of fog or clouds, the shadow is not represented by a solid surface, but by each drop of water in the haze individually. As a result, the brain cannot see the shadow stereoscopically and significantly overestimates the size. Air movements cause the shadow to move, even when the observer is standing still. This seemingly separate entity can also float and hover without having any visible contact with the ground. The other physical conditions on the mountain, cool and damp air, silence, as well as the lack of orientation due to a lack of foresight and neighbouring mountains, reinforce the subjective impression of the apparent existence of a ghost."

					Johan Esaias Silberschlag, 1780


Brocken Spectre

1
The shadow falls (4)
On layers of fog 
The shadow falls
Unto each single drop
The shadow falls
On layers of fog
The shadow falls (3)
  
ref
A different story
On each single drop  
A different story
From the bottom to the top
A different story

2
The shadow floats
On layers of fog
The shadow  is hovering
Over the ground
The shadow is growing
Waving without sound
The shadow floats
With a glory

ref
A different story
On each single drop  
A different story
From the bottom to the top
A different story
On each single drop
On each single drop

BROCKEN SPECTRE(Collabo with Xian3,Holger Engel and BP )

............ based on acoustic guitar, lot of EWI solos - all my own stuff :-)
Measured against all the work, it's nothing special - but maybe useful for daily use :-D Of course, I've listened to it so often now that I almost don't like it any more, but no wonder - some pieces can really get you down, like driving a car in a traffic jam every day. So take it easy ! ... photo: ahundt on pixabay

Trying on something a little different. Frank worked up this great instrumental track and sent it to me, thought I'ld give it a go. Let us know what you think.
Thank you Frank for a fantastic collab.

Feel So Good

One time living, two time giving, 
three time's knowing when to quit
you've been drinking, I've been hiding
hoping this will all come to pass.

We'll be waiting for you
at the lake
Pray you'll make it
while we are awake

Find the signal, filter the noise
Telescopes in the night
Let's get moving on this future journey
the rest is past so get on with it
Here be dragons, we were pirates
Endless games and endless days
gone by

We'll be waiting for you
at the lake
Pray you'll make it
while we are awake

By and large, the demons are gone
must be careful they don't come back
you'll be better, I know you will
If you make it through the night keep breathing still
Sense of doubt could lead one astray
but follow the shoreline
you'll find the way
hey hey

We'll be waiting for you
at the lake
Pray you'll make it
while we are awake

One Time Living

In 1936 a small town suffered plague and pestilence. 11 women gave birth to what the town described as feral, clawed, masked and lethargic￼￼ creatures. The citizens dispatched all but 3 of the mothers but strangely enough let the creatures live. The remaining mothers fostered all of the “children” and were quarantined to an abandoned and barren farm. The farm and its inhabitants became known as Sloth Camp. They were left to fend for themselves, surviving on what little they could grow and animals ( mainly rats) they could catch. An outhouse painted with images of lions and baboons and other creatures from distant lands started being worshipped by the “ children “. This is Sloth Camp...
