A Song for dancing! Not more, but also not less...

Masterplan

Happy

One day you'll be knocked out.
Faster, harder...

The Boxer (not a machine)

Connemara

very old song, written when we were still at school...don't take it too seriously

Today

Maybe a gray rainy morning at the station - you see someone you see there every morning, probably going to work. She fascinates you, you start admiring her and maybe more… even though you don't know her at all - something like that may happen - that's what this song is about.

Every Morning

A song about autumn, friendship and a friend who goes far away for the cold season.
“The mountains turn white behind the city lights.”

Autumn Song

This song is made to be played loud!
Since this is rather a live song, we recorded all the tracks/parts only once and left them that way. If you have half the fun we had playing this song, we'll be happy!
“Hey! You play with our future!”

Fridays for Future!
We would like to know – but we don’t know how to reach who – we don’t know
Hey you see it everywhere – but you don’t know
Hey you hurt the biosphere – but you don’t know
Hey the sun is burning hot – but you don’t know
Hey it’s time to do a lot – and you should know

But we want to make you see it – we do know
And we want to make you change it – you should go 
The first move is just a little step - come on go

We want to stay here – we want to stay here!
Hey! You play with our future!
Hey! You play with every life!

We would like to know – but we don’t know how to reach who – we don’t know

Hey this is our only earth - and you should know
And it should come very first – and we do know
There’s no other place to go – and you do know
Hey the time is running low – and you should know

To all the leaders in the whole world – democrats or not
Hey the earth is getting too hot – it’s enough
Hey what are you waiting for come on go time is low

We want to stay here – we want to stay here!
Hey! You play with our future!
Hey! You play with every life!

Care for our Future, not only on Friday!

Only a love song. Not more, not less.
A very easy song, very easy to play, very easy to sing, perhaps a song to sing along? We composed this music, what could you do with this? It developped into a love song, what else could this music be? We usually don't write ordinary love songs, but why not occasionally...

Time With You Began

A phone call with someone in a bad mood, whom you try in vain to cheer up, someone who is very important to you. That's what the song is about.
Gloomy Day
She: "You are so silent. You are so silent."
He: "I feel so strange today".
			                She: "What can I do?"
He: "Nothing can take that away."
			                She: "I’d like to help you."
He: "Today I feel sad."
		                        She: "You wanna stay in bed!?"
He: "Nothing can help me."
		                         She: "Why not? Let’s see."
He: "Everyone makes me mad."
		                          She: "Shall I bring you a cat?"

He: "I wanna be alone."
		              She: "Please stay on the phone!"
He: " I wanna be alone."
		              She: "Please stay on the phone!

		              What to do to help you, what to do to help you?"

He: "Everything is doll."
		                         She: "Why not go for a stroll?"
He: "I wanna stay at home."
		                          She: "You should not be alone!"
He: "I need time on my own."
		                           She: "I let you alone."
He: "I have to sort a few things."
		                           She: "Don’t have to many drinks!"
He: "I will stay sober."
		                           She: "Is it the dark October?"
 
He: I’ll phone you tomorrow."
		               She: "I hope without sorrow!"
He: "Now we should hang up."
		               She: "I love you a lot!"
He: "Now we should hang up."
		               She: "I love you a lot!
		               I love you a lot!"

Gloomy Day

It's May, the warm season has begun! How about having breakfast with someone you really like or are in love with? That's what the song is about. We tried to capture the atmosphere of the morning.
“Weekend! Saturday morning! The night makes way for the early day and in the early sun rays of light you bring the covered breakfast tray. The smell of fresh coffee fills the room in this sunny month of May…”

Breakfast with You

Returning to where we started here: a bit more electronic, this song (but also a piano song!).
Are you a stupid boy, nothing but your own hormones’ toy? Qui est la poupée ?
Here we go:
"Ta Poupée - only your Fantasy

(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)
(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)

Am I just your dream? Do you wanna make me scream?
Am I just your toy? I’m with you for your joy?
I am just your fantasy. Am I not a human being?

Is it real or just something you think of me?
You can play with me, do what you want with me.
Is this your fantasy which you think is reality?
What am I for you? 
How do you treat me?
Tell me what you see when you look at me.

(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)
(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)

Are you a stupid boy, nothing but your own hormones’ toy?
Can’t you see that I see you just the way you see me.
How do you treat me? Are you not a human being?

Is it real or just something you think of me?
You can play with me, do what you want with me.
Is this your fantasy which you think is reality?

Qui est la poupée ? (Qui est la poupée ?)
Qui est la poupée ? (Qui est la poupée ?)

What am I for you? How do you treat me?
Take a look at you and see what you do.

(Qui est la poupée ?)

Ta Poupée - only your Fantasy

If you have a hobby that allows you to retreat from the world and the hustle and bustle, you can consider yourself lucky. We have our music for that. Whether you compose music yourself, play a musical instrument, or simply listen to music, you have something that allows you to retreat and recharge, even though music itself can be demanding. This song is a tribute to “our secret downstairs room” where our music becomes reality. The song is 100% improvised. Each of us played his/her musical instrument and created this part: Benjamin E-guitar and E-bass, Michelle 1st/main piano, Jasmin strings and the 2nd piano. All of us wrote the lyrics and created the melody for the lyrics.
Our secret downstairs room
Our secret downstairs room, our secret.
We sneak down the stairs tonight/ our secret downstairs room, our secret.
 Escape and get out off sight/Our secret….
To the secret room we have the key/Our secret…
A place of magic we wanna be/Our secret…

The walls echo our sound. Guitars played and drums pound. 
We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world.

A place of magic and mystery where our own music can set us free
The guitar played hard, piano so soft, you hear our sound also above

Our secret downstairs room, our secret.
We play and the music gets loud/Our secret…
In this room we let it all out/…
We can Rock until the dawn/…
We hope this room it will live on/…

This place is more than just a room. It’s where we come to resume.
We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world.

It’s our own small secret getaway where we can forget the hectic of the day.
The guitar so  fast, piano so slow, that’s our own little private show.

We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world….

Secret Downstairs Room

AI!
AI, you never die, you will come back from a heart attack
AI, the new creation of our generation for every nation

I don’t work, you don’t work, we all have our own bots

We use it all the time, how can it be defined?
AI is now our guide, only algorithms decide 
AI masters our fade so that our lives are saved

I back up my complete life on a hard drive and a cloud device
Binary code on the digital road,
forever in our prime, no walls of time
AI, the robots rise
They know every move
Have their own proofs

The emotion that I reveal, the machine never feels
Can the circuit overload, we’ll be left in the cold

We use it all the time, how can it be defined?
AI is now our guide, only algorithms decide

(Is it our blood that flows? Or just bits that roll?)

In the Christian world to which we belong, the Advent season has begun and there has even been a bit of snow in some places, just like in our city. The Christmas season is perhaps also a good time to say thank you. We were lucky enough to grow up in families who looked after us and did everything they could to make us happy. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes you only remember to say thank you when someone falls seriously ill or dies and you realize what that person has done for you. One day it may be too late to say thank you- nobody lives forever. This song is a big thank you to our parents and families. In this sense, it is also our contribution to the Christmas season, even if it is not a real Christmas song. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas time, including of course those who do not belong to the Christian world.

"Thank you for our happy home where we never felt alone!"
❤️
Thank you, family!
Mom held me when I fell down, dad picked me up from the ground.
My sister consoled me when I cried, my brother always made me smile.
Dad taught me how to cook, Mum gave me my favourite book.

Thank you so much mom and dad, my sister and my brother,
always there like no other.

Daddy still wants to protect me from the dangers I might not see.
Mom so sad when we moved away, her day was so dark and grey.
From the days when we were young, together we fought and won.

Thank you for our happy home where we never felt alone.
Thank you for all the great love, it’s like a gift from above.

We've grown up and moved on, but our bond is still so strong.
We may quarrel and disagree, but our love is stronger than the sea
All the great memories that we share, forever they will be there 

Thank you for everything you have done, making our lives so much fun.
Thank you for all the great love, it’s like a gift from above.
❤️

Thank You Family!

What if you lose your language(s)?
There are parts in the song where different vocals appear at the same time which makes it harder to understand. This is intended. After all the song is about aphasia.

The Aphasic
In this damned town I always walk around
searching for the sign I will never find
cannot give up, cannot go on
I feel eternity, feel it right in front of me

I can’t hear what they say/ the same
express it my own way/ every day
what they don’t understand/ can’t find
they try but they can’t/ the words to say
words slipping through my grasp/the thoughts swirl inside your mind
though I try to clasp/but the words just unwind
the words are in the past/the words out of grasp
they can never last/caught in your mind’s trap
I see it in your eyes/the thoughts…
my words a big surprise/but the words…
it’s all in my mind/the words…
I write a few lines/caught in…
but I can’t understand the sings of my own hand

can’t read a single line, can’t read a single sign
the words don’t reach you, though they try to teach you

I’m caught somewhere in my mind, can’t cross the borderline
I’m lonely in a crowd, and I can’t get out
there’s darkness in the light/the same
and light in the dark night/every day
I’ll get along with it/can’t find 
‘cause I’m too strong for it/the words to say
I’m lost in my speech/ the thoughts swirl inside your mind
the words are out of reach/ but the words just unwind
I would like to break free/ the words out of grasp
hope I can find the key/ caught in mind’s trap
some words cross my way/the thoughts…
but they will never stay/but the words…
the words don’t make sense/ the words out of grasp
out of reach, behind the fence/ caught in mind’s trap
I’ll find a way to shine/ the thoughts…
you’ll see that I’ll be fine/ but the words…
I will find my voice/the words…
it will be more than noise/caught in…
you’ll see it’s not in vain, I’ll find my own refrain

can’t read a single line, can’t read a single sign
the words don’t reach you, though they try to teach you

The Aphasic

Our next song which we will upload soon will be a rather long song with over 10 minutes (well, it is about a very long journey...). So we decided to upload a short part of it - and at the same time a totally different version. This is the last part of the song, but with only guitar and vocals. In the final version there will hardly be a guitar, only at the very end and not the guitar you can hear in this version. Actually it is an ad-hoc guitar, not a version you would use in a studio recording. We often do this, improvising a guitar or piano accompainment to try out the vocals before the song is finished. We recorded this guitar improvisation and now added it to the final vocal version (we did not record the vocals at that time of the song) of the last part of the song. If you do not like long songs, you can try this short version here. But be aware that it is rather an ad hoc/live play, not really something we usually publish.
"...We missed our earth and our people so much. Oh how we want to feel again the earth's living touch. Our family faces we long to greet. We will be so happy when we finally can meet...."
We will provide the complete lyrics when we upload the final version of the song.

Journey to Enceladus (Extrait Guitar only)

This song is rather long. After all, it's also about a very long journey. We know that not everybody like long songs. We have an excerpt of this song in a completely different version with only guitar accompaniment. That would be the short alternative. But we would be happy if some listeners would make the complete musical journey with us and listen to the full version of the song to the end. Here we go:
Enceladus
Part I: Journey in space:
When we left the earth last year, without any sign of fear
No clue how it would be here

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight 

Far away from human life, our mission feels so right
Flying to the icy moon, a journey to the unknown
Enceladus calling us, with the rocket travelling fast
Human dreams we cannot hide, human spirit is our guide
Watch a different cosmic side, all around us the starlight
Travel through eternal night, travel through eternal night

Instrumental Part

Part II: Approaching Enceladus, Landing:
Enceladus’ coming near, Saturn is so huge and clear
Time to change the running gear
Approaching Saturn’s mystical face
After that journey through infinite space
Landing on this moon, foreign stars above
Enceladus as beautiful as love
We’ll explore the ocean under the deep ice
We wonder whether we’ll find traces of life

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight

Behind the rings the moon awaits
We’ll explore it’s icy gates
Instruments raised to explore
What’s under the ice and more
Secrets of the inner sea
Cannot wait what we will see, cannot wait what we will see

Instrumental Part

Part III: The scientific mission, getting the results:
(Unfortunately, we are not authorized to present the research results here; this will be done officially. That's why we had to remove this part from our song. Unfortunately, it will take a very, very long time, before the research results are published so we have to ask you to be very patient. )
…
Part IV: Dismantling the camp and heading home:
Enceladus was our home on this mission so alone
Time to leave this icy stone
Packing the instruments with care and grace
We’ll bring our finding through the distant space
In the frozen world under the star’s dome
We gather ‘cause it’s time to go home
Enceladus we will never come back
But about you we’ll create a soundtrack (you have it tight here, the soundtrack)

Camp dismantled and our probes in the crates
Every one ready the countdown awaits
We’ll bring Enceladus’ portrait, 
Destination home, we are on our way

Wait for us ‘cause we bring home amazing research data
And to earth we bring Enceladus’ water

We missed our earth and our people so much
Oh, how we want to feel again the earth’s living touch
Our family faces we long to greet
We will be so happy when we finally can meet
We’ve learned nothing is more important than protecting the earth
Every fight, every sacrifice, every effort it is worth – it!

Journey To Enceladus

All songs are composed for and first played with real instruments. However sometimes, we use several vst instruments to improve the sound.  We experiment with electronic/EDM sounds and effects, alienate natural instrument, sometimes make it sound more electronic.
We are the rest of a musician group, quite a few years ago (at school), actually instrumentalists, 2 female, one of them piano, oboe, the other piano, clarinet, 1 male, all kinds of guitar, also bass and ukulele. The other two are unfortunately missing now (1 female who was our main singer (bad luck, so we have only us - background singers) and violin and 1 male, also guitars). Occasionally there is a real electric guitar or bass, but probably not recognizable as such. So now we sound quite different than before or, at least here...before starting here, our style contained different elements, folk, classical, pop-Rock, sometimes also Hard/Punk-Rock or Metal. When we play live, we still have that sound. We hope some people like our music here!
