OFF THE TRAIL

Looking for something 
a distance away
Both surely brightening
Our unknowing way

Far ahead is a flame
a promising sight.
Two souls of the same
Hurry on, while daylight

Come take my hand as we walk the path
This kind of love was meant to last
We'll balance without fear
It's still safe to fail
Knowing one of us is here
If one falls off the trail

Now slowly ascending
In the lateness of day
Warmness igniting
Flickering out the gray

Find time for some rest
Night is coming fast 
hands intertwine
Silently meant to last

Come take my hand as we walk the path
This kind of love was meant to last
And we'll banish all the fear
It's still safe to fail
Knowing one of us is here
If one falls off the trail

Off the trail

Knowing one of us here
If one falls off the trail

Off The Trail

I’ll be longing

The day is over, the pace dialed down to slow
On the sky above me, the stars begin to show
Jupiter there with its beautiful moons
Mars over there, red fiery gloom 

As I look through my fingers at Orion’s belt
I swear it was your presence I just felt
Knowing with certainty, i don’t have to tell
That you can see the same stars as well

And so it is my love, so it is …could it be any better
And ill be longing

A gentle breeze makes me heave for breath
I turn to see something bright in the west
For a second I see a smile on your face
Before I realize it’s just the evening haze

How tiny our silhouettes are under the sky 
It’s as if we never met and had to say goodbye
But through this words and a simple little song
I’ll see you soon, don’t you know
It won’t be long

And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better
So it is my love so it is
Come with me and be a part of this
And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better

So it is my love so it is
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing

I'll Be Longing

Based on the song written by Merle Kilgore&June Carter - and good ol’ Johnny Cash’s performance.

Ring Of Fire - Merle Kilgore&June Carter - Cover

Between the lines, a lover's sigh
Earth's body turning, beneath a starlit sky
Ancient rhythms beating, a primal tie
Deserts bloom, where oceans lie

Cycles spinning, a sweet surrender
Earth's embrace, a tender
Hold me close, let me feel

Not for mass extinction's call
But for life, for one and all
Protecting balance, standing tall
Nature’s truth, the primal law

Cycles spinning, a sweet surrender
Earth's embrace, a tender
Hold me close, let me feel

Let no hand, change what's true
Truth is found, in me and you
Follow heart, instincts through
Fade with hum, forever new

Cycles spinning, a sweet surrender
Earth's embrace, a tender
Hold me close, let me feel

Let no hand, change what's true
Truth is found, in me and you
Follow heart, instincts through
Truth is now in me and you

Extinction

It's a special honor that my dear friend Michele Ansani asked me if I would like to work on a song he wrote years ago called 'Alla Fine della Fine delle Fini' (To the end of the end of the ends) which is a great track. When I listened to it I said to Michele that I thought the song is already finished and asked what I supposedly could do with it. He said, that he wasn't going to publish it and wanted me to work on the root idea of the song to create something new.  Thank you so much Michele for being so generous to leave the basic song idea to my purposes (all flaws are mine).

Listen to his wonderful music here, you all know him anyway: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani

Photograph from the top of Half Dome, Yosemite NP, CA, USA by A. Besinger  2022

One day I walked the shores of time
Wiping away the footprints left behind

Tossing stones into the sea  
Just to watch the ripples making their way back to me  

What if these dancing rings were just memories
Would they come to life once more to set me free?


Abandoned this place that I called home ￼
and took that boat I was hiding for so long 

Facing the storms, past the sirens song
The love of gods in mind may have led me wrong

Set course to the end of the end of the ends
So when you step off the edge of the world 
Make sure that your wings are spread 

When I stepped through the gates of Plutonion
Caught between Scylla and Charybdis I would be found

Sacrificed the ones to whom I belonged
A wise man would rather be envied than being wronged

Set course to the end of the end of the ends
So when you step off the edge of the world 
Make sure that your wings are spread 

Set course to the end of the end of the ends
So when you step off the edge of the world 
Make sure that your wings are spread

Off the Edge of the World (with Michele Ansani)

Avenir.

Comme un pauvre  Vagabond 
errant sur les chemins de sa  vie chiffon 
Comme un poète maudit 
Écrit sur le sable mouillé 

Refrain 
Ta  voie  est là, juste un premier pas  suffit pour partir 
laiss’ pas   la peur  te voler ton désir ton avenir

Copie le saltimbanque
qui jongle habile avec ses envies - envie 
La statue immobile
qui voudrait s’envoler  s’en aller


Comme une poussée de sève 
Réveille  ta vie , refleurit le Monde  tu rêve 
C'est dans cette  lumière qu’il te faudra tracer   ta route

Imagine le monde
C'est temps pour toi d’entrer dans la rond(e) tu vois 
C’est ça  C’est ce premier pas 
qui t’a fait saisir ta vie c’est  ça

!--- Translate

Future.

Like a poor Wanderer 
wandering the paths of his rag life 
Like a cursed poet 
Written on wet sand 

Refrain 
Your path is there, just a first step is enough to leave 
Don’t let fear steal your desire, your future

Copy the acrobat
who skillfully juggles with his desires - desire 
The motionless statue
who would like to fly away


Like a rush of sap 
Wake up your life, the world you dream of blooms again 
It is in this light that you will have to trace your path

Imagine the world
It's time for you to enter the circle you see 
This is it, this is the first step 
who made you grab hold of your life, that’s it

Avenir

Pour tous les amis du monde § For all friends in the world.
  English translation after the French text
-------------------------------------------
L’amitié c’est nous,  autour d’un feu d’camp,  
Beuglant des chansons, on s’marait tout l’temps. 
Les guitares jouaient et nos voix s'envolaient
Souvenirs gravés de ces temps enchantés

 L'amitié, c'est nous, le monde à   refaire
Des blagues, des disputes, des rêves à l’envers
Au petit matin, les bouteilles vidées
Gueules enfarinées , les rêves sont envolés 

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
 nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
illumine le monde

L’amitié c’est nous avec ou sans enfants
Le boulot, la famille on s’voit moins souvent 
Dans  nos cœurs aimant, sont toujours vivant 
Nos  rires d’antan,  et nos vingt printemps 

L'amitié  c’est nous, avec des cheveux blancs
Une  histoire qui dure, à faire mentir le temps
Nos belles aventures , ont fait     nos destins,
Rires aux coins des yeux, témoins de nos chemins.                         

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
Nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
Illumine le monde

----------------- AUTO TRANSLATE 
Friendship is us, around a campfire,
Bellowing songs, we were always laughing.
The guitars were playing and our voices were soaring
Engraved memories of these enchanted times

Friendship is us, the world to be remade
Jokes, arguments, upside down dreams
In the early morning, the emptied bottles
Floury faces, dreams are gone

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
light up the world

Friendship is us with or without children
Work, family we see each other less often
In our loving hearts, are still alive
Our laughter of yesteryear, and our twenty springs

Friendship is us, with white hair
A story that lasts, to make time lie
Our beautiful adventures have made our destinies,
Laughter in the corners of our eyes, witnesses of our paths.

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
Our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
Light up the world

Trapped within You

Music: Little Man & Janne Hennie
Lyrics & Vocals: Janne Hennie
Instruments & Mix: Little Man

Lyrics:

Sometimes I ask to much of myself
It's like I'm not doing enough
Are those around me satisfied?
Maybe I'm to black in my mind..

Chorus:

If I do the best I can
What more can I do?
And if that's not good enough
I have nothing more to offer you..

Want to please those I love
They all need something from me
Not sure if I'm doing enough
But I don't want them to see

Chorus

I get a little tired sometimes
Need to hide and catch my breath
But I'm not hiding for a long time
My loved ones are on my mind..

Chorus

I can always try to improve
I still have so much to learn
But if I ask too much of myself
I go to black, brigdes will burn

Oh, If I do the best I can
What more can I do?
And if that's not good enough
I have nothing more to offer you..

The Best I Can

Lyrics
Your laughter danced like fire
Underneath the stars
Now I'm lost in the shadows
Counting all the scars
Oh, I'm calling out your name
In the whispers of the night
Every heartbeat feels the same
In the memories we fight
Just one more chance to feel  in the night
Echoes of us linger on
But it's you I still long
Its you, that lingers on

Whispers of the Night

Passing By

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

Catching up with time and space
You don’t know what you’ll get
But i know whats not going on
Cos nothing’s happened yet

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

I could’ve turned the other way
The feeling came so fast
Quickly went away again
Just wasn’t meant to last

It stopped me in my tracks
I didn’t know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

It stopped me in my tracks
I didnt know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
…
Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

Passing By

this is a song written by Dick Feller and famously covered by Johnny Cash..........cheers for having a listen 

When Uncle Bill Quit Dope

 Well Uncle Bill was my Mothers Brother, tall lanky man
But somewhere back in Uncle Bill's life, he took to sniffing cocaine
I'd find him out in the back yard, sitting against a tree.                                                                   
His eyes bugged out in a cocaine stare, And his mind in a cocaine dream.
                                                     
Well one fall day when Uncle Bill was having a cocaine fit                              
He said Louise this coke's no good and I've made up my mind to quit.
Now you take this key and I'll go upstairs and then you lock the door,                           
And Lord I swear I wont come down, till I don't want dope no more.

Chorus:                                                   
Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry. 
When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die.
He yelled and he cussed and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope
As long as I live I wont forget when Uncle Bill quit dope.


Well for the first few hours we heard not a sound, upstairs was quiet and still.
and then all of a sudden we heard a shriek of pain from Uncle Bill.
He bounced out of bed and across the room, I heard him break a chair.
And then another scream louder than the first as he ripped out a hunk of his hair.

My Mother kissed us all that night, as brother and I lay in bed.
We wondered if poor old Uncle Bill was dying or already dead 
But all night long we listened to him as he raved pleaded and called.                
And I swear I heard his finger nails tearing the paper off the walls.   


After fourteen days and nights of hell, it grew quiet over head.
And I peered past mother, as she unlocked the door expecting to find him dead.
But to my surprise there was Uncle Bill, as shiny as a brand new dollar.
His hair was combed and his beard was gone, he'd grown two inches taller. 

In his old blue suit and his patterned shoes, he was quite a sight to see. 
The light was back in his deep blue eyes, he turned to mother and me. 
He said Louise I've been through hell and I nearly went insane.
But I finally beat the devils habit, I beat the demon cocaine.
            




When Uncle Bill Quit Dope

a great song written by Rick Danko and Bob Dylan..........miles of shit have been written about this band......... best to let their music do the talking...........this version is with the Alters...cheers for having a listen

This Wheel’s On Fire 
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN AND RICK DANKO
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 We were goin’ to meet again and wait
 So I’m goin’ to unpack all my things
 And sit before it gets too late
 No man alive will come to you
 With another tale to tell
 But you know that we shall meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 I was goin’ to confiscate your lace
 And wrap it up in a sailor’s knot
 And hide it in your case
 If I knew for sure that it was yours . . .
 But it was oh so hard to tell
 But you knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 You’ll remember you’re the one
 That called on me to call on them
 To get you your favors done
 And after ev’ry plan had failed
 And there was nothing more to tell
 You knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry served you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!

This Wheel's On Fire  (The Band)

this one pretty much wrote itself when i found myself staring at a blank sheet of paper for ages,
tapping my pen annoyingly and waiting for something to happen........a live take with a bit of piano........cheers for having a listen......



           PEN TO PAPER 
 
my pen can write a letter of love
describe to you the stars above
congratulate you on your gain
comfort you when your in pain

console you in your time of need
tell you that you're loved indeed
but if i told you how i feel today
my pen would be cruel

my pen can sign my life away
to own a house i'll never pay
then write it in a thank you note
for the monstrous debt that i now owe

my pen has got me in trouble deep
sometimes so much i cannot sleep
if i were to write about myself
my pen would be cruel

i don't pretend to understand
what's going on upstairs
i just try to keep it to myself
sometimes it's better, to hide it all away
i know to you that that don't make much sense

my pen can tell you how and why
my love for you could never die
write the words with even flow
so you would never have to know

my pen is guarded at the gate
it hides my secrets can't escape
and if they did then you would know
my pen can be so cruel

misanthropy, philanthropy, 
evilness and empathy    
my pen belongs in their mirrored halls
it's inky eye looks through them all

there's nothing it can't see right through
the things you thought that no one knew
now written there right in front of you
the pen can be so cruel

my pen can talk what i can't speak
and go where i don't want to be
from a prison cell to a sunburst sky
turn the truth against a lie

write a wrong into a right
turn a long day into night
the burden can be so heavy
when the pen can be so cruel

springtime osaka - ten de vils

This track was born from the moment I got my first hardware synthesizer. While jamming and exploring sounds, I found inspiration in the retro-futuristic energy of artists like French 79. It blends 80s synth vibes with a modern electronic edge, capturing the spontaneity and excitement of that first creative spark.
