 Tenderly
 Words by Martin Jones

You may try to hide
What you're really feeling deep inside
It's an instinct we all seem to share
Signs posted ..... limited access here

You may have your secrets
And that's really quite alright
But your body language cannot hide
what you're holding back inside

You might as well admit it
Cause we both know you did it
Tell me that you lied to me
That you're falling so in love
You've fallen in love with me

You can do it tenderly
Whisper in my ear
I won't tell anyone
Nobody has to hear
Do it tenderly

On occasions when you hold my hand
I begin to understand
Although your lips don't say it
Your heart won't let you fake it
I'm yours .... I wanna make you mine

Now you may have your secrets
and it's really quite alright
But your body language cannot hide 
What you're holding so deep inside

You might as well admit it
Cause we both know you did it
Tell me that you lied to me
That you're falling so in love
You've fallen in love with me
But you should do it tenderly

Tenderly you should let me know
Do I stay or should I go?
I don't know but I've been told 
Somewhere there's a heart of gold
And I found that heart in you
Tell me what it is you think I should do

Tenderly you should let me know
Cause I'm talking straight to you...  from my soul
I love you
Said I love you

I might as well admit it
Cause we both know I did it
Now I've got to tell the truth
Cause I'm  falling so in love
I've fallen in love with you
Let's love each other tenderly

Please have mercy!

Heads Up
      Lyrics by Martin Jones

I've got to say that it's quite disturbing
Time and time again
Same old thing is occurring
Sometimes it seems 
No matter how hard I try
Same old illusion
keeps poking me in the eye

I want to stand up 
And defeat this creepy feeling
Each time I stand 
My head just keeps on reeling

Heads up
Stand up
Got to move to higher ground
Can't get distracted
Every time I take a look around

What I see
A lot of pain and misery
I'm so convinced
That's not the way it's supposed to be

I see a brighter future
One that's good for you and for me
Only comes with understanding
And a little bit of empathy

You can't see when you close your eyes
And you can't hear when you cover your ears
And you can't cry
When they're no more tears

You can't see when you close your eyes
And you can't hear if you cover your ears
You cannot cry
When they're no more tears

Sonia, the gifted singer on this cover has left this world on August the 14th 2016. She was afraid of singing not good enough to Alphio's and my track. But I have to say, I myself was afraid of playing not good enough to support her fascinating voice well. She was a unique warmhearted person and she will greatly be missed.  
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Loved this tune since it came out in 1983!. Was a great honor being asked by Alphio to play the guitar on this collab. Was a great pleasure working with Sonia, who gives this a very nice flavour with her voice and Alphio, who did a fantastic job with the instrumentation. Thank you very much, Sonia and Alphio!!! Great job on the instruments, Alphio!!! I think the track became a very special version of this fantastic Eurythmics song. Have fun!!!! ;-)))))

Sweet Dreams - For Sonia (Cover) - Collab w Sonia Chamberlain and Alpha Roots

I love classical music and I love Rock and heavy guitar sounds, so I had to mix both worlds together in one track.
The classic guitar part is based on Robert de Visée's Bourrée in d-minor.
Alphio had kindly supported me on the bass. He nailed it. Thank's a lot, Alphio!!! ;-)))))

Enjoy!!!

This song is for freedom

It is a blessing to be a part of this SoundCloud community

Fun fact! This song evolved from this song: 
https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots/binghi-biscuits

I was so inspired by Alpha Roots original Nyabinghi drumming I had to make another original song using the Binghi Biscuits drum stem that showed my great respect and love for Nyabinghi chants in Reggae Music.

Lyrics:

On a day sweetened by a breeze that enlightens us with prana
I wanna climb this earth to find a place where we will sing hosanna
hosanna, hosanna
I wanna climb this earth to sing hosanna

And in sweet meditation we will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
Floating in the universal ghee outside of Vishnu’s dream in Eden
In Zion, in Eden
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
In Eden, in Zion
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

Alpha Roots https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots sent me this great instrumental. The second I heard it, I said to myself, got to put something together for this... Here it is....The Lyrics are below... Headphones recommend....ENJOY!!


Vamos Let's Gettem

Chorus
Ooooh so hot it burns like fire 
Flames to satisfy your every desire
I'm a lyrical acrobat never been a copycat
Won't catch me holding back
Serious as a heart attach cold as an icepack
Better believe that Gimme the mic and stand back
They released a hellcat 
Verse
I roll with the beats so you might catch me clowning 
with lyrics so deep that you may think you're drowning 
in perpetual motion like the waves on the ocean 
I rocked the beats is the craft I've chosen
Verse
AdJust your headphones on your dome
fix your volume and the tone
turn it up loud wear them where you roam
It's your personal jam so make it your own
Your never alone I'm  deep in the zone
part of you like chro-mo-some
You're with IPG1 so feel at home
Elevating the mix like beer and foam
rising straight into the ozone!
Verse
Study as a heartbeat bass in your face
Kick of the drum just to maintain the pace
Verse after verse each rhyme in its place
Compose and rehears just another test case
Burning up now can't stand the heat
The Rhythm of the music bouncing straight off the beat
Make sure it's hitting hitting hard as concrete
tighten it up before it hits the streets
drop an all new track another HipHop elite
Verse
Rampaging the clouds like a damn maniac 
other rappers are like how's he do it like that
Releasing a smash with each and every track 
they love what they hear on initial contact 
addicted to hip-hop yeah!! another playback 
Beats on point sharper than a thumbtack 
versus written like a best selling paperback 
calling the shots like a damn quarterback 
hitting like a meteor just check the impact
Hook
We're gonna get em -----vamos lets get em!!! (X2)
Verse
But It's nice to get together and reunite with friends 
making new connection before the day ends 
catch up on old times and all the new trends --bout
Break a few rules that was meant to be bent
Let's keep it going
keep the beats rocking there ain't no stopping 
baby I can tell that you like what you're hear
By the way you're shake that booty with out a care
I'm just a witness to the thickness of that ass
two thumbs up good lord first class!!
But my oh my sugar so sweet 
how you get all that rhythm out of just one beat
Intense and unique it's almost complete 
Gotta make some plans for the next time we meet
Chorus
Ooooh so hot it burns like fire 
Flames to satisfy your every desire
I'm a lyrical acrobat never been a copycat
Won't catch me holding back
Serious as a heart attach 
cold as an icepack
Better believe that Gimme the mic and stand back
They released a hellcat 
Hook
We're gonna get em -----vamos lets get em!!! (X2)
Verse
I don't hesitate I fight The good fight
I write and rewrite holding on to the faith---With all my might
putting in the work all day and night
Haters going to hate but don't take the bait
One more word from them and they seal their faith
If they do its alright
Got them seeing red but I've got the green light
They're  filled with hate I can relate
They  better walk the narrow I'm being straight
here's the only warning this is a musical state
You don't want a conflict You got too much on your plate
I'm crazy hungry looks like you just ate
Hook
We're gonna get em vamos lets get em!!! (X2)
Verse
Let me reiterate 
I Stand strong I fight the good fight 
Dedicated I write and rewrite
Holding on to the faith with all my might
Can you relate I work day and night
Don't hesitate I got the green light 
Don't take the bait if you do it's alright
I just can't wait till it's time to ignite
------------------Peace!!

Lyrics : Lawrence Farr 

She's on fire 
Verse 1
Every time I walk into the room
I feel the heat rise
Every time I walk into the room
My eyes start watering
Verse 2
Every time you walk into the room babe
You turn heads
Every time you walk into the room babe
There's a bunch of people who melt like butter
Chorus
She's on fire
She's on fire
Verse 3
Every time you walk into the room babe
The ground shakes
Every time you walk into the room babe
My heart aches
She's on fire
She's just too hot to believe TSSSSSSSS
She's on fire x 4
Refrain
Walking a deadly line
With a heart of stone
Leaving a trail of destruction
She's a raging inferno
Bodies lying in her wake
As she moves on through
Breaking a million hearts
Just because she can
Verse 4
Girl's on fire
She's the one
Who can take us all higher
She's a girl on fire
She's the one who can take us higher
Heart of stone
Burns like fire
Heart of stone
Burns like fire
She's got a heart of stone
And it burns like fire
Verse 5
They say the fires of hell are hot
But not as hot as this one
She's burning a hole in my head
She's burning a hole in my head
Outro
She's on fire
She's on fire
She's on fire
She's taking me higher
She's taking me higher and high and higher and higher.....
She's on fire x 4
Somebody get me some water x 2





She's On Fire ft. Lawrence Farr & Andreas Kloppenburg ( + Lyrics )

Irie my friends , 
in the early 90's  I played with different Reggae Bands . 
At one of many shows a Lady ( which became my biggest fan ) gave me some lyrics telling me , she saw a few shows and were inspired to write down a few words - could be maybe used for a song .
She always like to stay anonimous and I promise her to do so . 
In 1994 I recorded a demo with sequenzer - but I decided to record it again and did this in 1998 .Analogue recording with Yamaha MT 8 X , I had no drumsticks so I used the Jazz Brush instead . Hope you enjoy ! Thank you for the love , support and stopping by - one love to you :)

Caressing the Lion     ( from my biggest fan :))   ) 

JAH , Bob stays above 
playing his songs 
his message of love 
to all people belongs 

Oh JAH , him a no dead 
he's living in Zion 
green yellow red ( the colours )
caressing the lion 

JAH , there is one boy 
dreadlocked and smart
loves life and joy
with music in his heart 

so JAH , show him his way
keep off the rough - bloody rough
give him love everyday
give him ganja , ganja enough 

oh JAH , him a no dead ....

Intro
Lara
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not where I wanna be
V1
I guess we are where we wanted to be
But sometimes just where we wanted to be is not just the place where we wanna be
I wanna be with you
Sometimes you're not where you want to be, where you want to be yeah
Sometimes we're just in our destiny, in our destiny, yeah
V2
Walking a dangerous line, in a world without love
Sometimes you don't want to be, alone in a crowd anymore
Walking a dangerous line, and you're paying the price
But you don't want to be alone in love anymore....anymore, anymore
Bridge
Sometimes love is worth the pain
Lead 1
Sometimes love is worth the pain
And I'm feeling it time and time again
Bridge
V3
I couldn't be bothered, staying in this place
I couldn't be bothered
I wanna head in your direction, I wanna give you my affection baby
I wanna head your way, I don't wanna be here any more
I only wanna stay with you

Why did I have to meet you?
Why did I have to fall in love with you?
Yeah, yeah.....................
Outro
My world is caving in
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all.....
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all......................................................
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all

This is the vocal version of "What If..." https://soundcloud.com/ndreasloppenburg/what-if-vocalist-needed wich was inspired by the riots and violence in the streets of Hamburg during the G20 summit on 07-08 July 2017.
Following my request for a vocalist, Chris gave it a try and he totally nailed it!!! Thank you very much, Chris!!!! :-))

Lyrics:

“Suicide City”

Can’t sleep tonight because the riots in the streets of Hamburg
Just another city, blow it up and head onto the night
Oh it’s such a pity and ain’t nothing going right here
You’d think our need to survive would finally start to kick back in

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a Suicide
It’s a Suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
It’s a Suicide (x4)

Has the whole world gone mad?
Don’t we realize the goodness we had?
We have means but still wanna bleed
Just a matter of time ‘til we see the bloody heads roll

It’s suicide!

I use to fear the monsters and beasts
I’d pray to the Lord my soul to keep
From the dangers on the outside
Now I what find the thing is to fear the rage inside

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City

Suicide
Suicide City (ain’t nothing pretty in suicide)

Can’t sleep because of the riots in Hamburg
When we blow it up we’re killin' ourselves
I think we’re gonna have remember
How to love again to survive suicide

Suicide City       (Feat.  Wild Christopher !)

My first collaboration with the very talented Yana Smutina. 

After listening to her music and reading the permanent collab-invitation on her page, I asked her if she would be interested to do a collab with me. She was :-) … a few weeks later *LOL*.

I thought, “Somebody Help Me” https://soundcloud.com/yana-smutina/somebody-help-me-music-and-words-yana-smutina would be great stuff to create a Rock ballad from.
Yana agreed and sent me the track stems after recording the whole thing again in a local studio. So I got voice and acoustic guitar separated for mixing and was able to add my spices to it. 

It was a pleasure to work with her. She always gave me great constructive feedback - what was great, what wasn’t and what has to be changed or replaced. The cello for in- and outro was her idea. I had a piano in my first song sketch, but now I think, the cello fits way better instead  😊 . To cut the song in two pieces and put a heavy solo passage into the gap was Yana’s idea too. She asked me to paint a musically picture of hell - “…a musical picture of hell with "Thunder and lightning”...”. I tried to do my best then – if I may mention that devil’s fart at the end of the solo? *ROFL*.

Please check out Yana’s stuff here: https://soundcloud.com/yana-smutina 
  
Thank you for working with me Yana. Big hug!!!! 
 
Volume to eleven and enjoy  our creation!!! 😊

Lyrics:

“Somebody Help Me”

I'm just walking in the circle of life
Nobody can see and nobody hear me here
I want to stop it all
I want to change it all

Somebody save me I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I'm so poor and ugly but I've got a heart
But there's still no compation anywhere
I would like not to care
Pretend and just don't care

Somebody save me I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I've found my gate in the green glass
I've found my way in the green...

Written by Yana Smutina

Somebody Help Me  -  Yana Smutina & Andreas Kloppenburg

Here comes a new collab with the exeptional talented Glen Granthem https://soundcloud.com/the-glen-granthem-band. He handed out a very nice track to us SC lead guitarists for adding our spices to it. I added my guitar to it then and send it back to Glen. He then replaced the originally intended acoustic guitar with an electric guitar and added some vocals to it. I like the outcome very much and hope you'll do too.
Thank you very very much, Glen!!! Hope we can do some more in the future ;-))

Blues Rocker in Bb - Glen Granthem & Andreas Kloppenburg

A few weeks ago I've downloaded an open collab called "Father's Day" whitch was initiated by Tom Adams https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892. Based on that I wanted to play a new "2 parts he/2 parts me-thing" then. Nothing wrong with this ;-)). Shortly after I began to jam a bit to Tom's track, Lawrence https://soundcloud.com/awrencearr wrote a message. He told me that he'd just recorded some vocals for that Adams track and invited me to play guitar on his version.
After giving a listen to it I happily agreed to do a 3 piece set with Tom and Lawrence ;-))). I really like what was coming out and hope you will do too. Thank's a lot Tom and Lawrence. Both are greats here on the cloud for sure!!!!

I'd love advice on this- do you guys think it's too long and monotonous? Let me know :) 

Thanks!

Lyrics to Hold Water:

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it. 
The person we pay closest attention to is ourselves. 
It seems easy to fix when it’s someone else out there,
But my advice won’t hold water until you can hold yourself. 

It starts as one thing, but then it grows. 
First I want to pay some bills and then I want a castle with orange groves. 
Rationalization grows in me like a virus,
Incubating and warm, while I feel so cold. 

My intentions are good but they get out of control. 
I want to help and heal and I don’t want to grow old. 
I wouldn’t accept it at all, truth be told, 
But the clock is holding the whip and he ain’t letting go. 

I can’t tell you…(chorus)

The road will take you if the time is right
Doesn’t even matter if you want to try and put up a fight.
It’ll send a vagabond to help you on your way,
And your friends will miss you but they’ll see you again someday. 

I can’t tell you…(chorus)

I’ve always been a sucker for a voice, it’s always been true.
But now I know right where I am and exactly where I want to go. 
Being sure is something I’ve never found
Except for now. 

But I could give it up just as easily,
Throw it all away in the name of being free. 
I could jump in a car, drive so far. 
But you know I’ve done it before and I’d rather be right where you are.

I'm a german guitarist who always wants to play better than he can *lol*. I love the sound of the guitar and I love guitars, their beauty and their smell. Never can get enough.
I wanted to make music since I was a little kid. I urgently wanted a guitar since the age of 10, I think. Unfortunately I got my first (classic) guitar not until the age of 18 because there was not enough money to buy one earlier. Well, since I've got my first guitar I nearly play every single day one of my darlings ;-).
Making my music public on the cloud is really a great thing for me. I love this community. Such fantastic musicians here...
I'm always interested in collaborating with talented musicians.
Thank's for visiting my page, hope you enjoy and don't forget: Music is everything!! Music is love!!! Without music, mankind would never exist anymore!!!!!!!!!

A NOTE TO ALL FOLLOWERS who only follow to get a refollow and then unfollow. Take a  warmhearted FUCK YOU!!! No like for a like, no refollow for a follow here.  I'll like what I like and I'll follow those who convinced me with their music!!!!

Cheers, Andreas
