Well written and recorded. The world needs more siren songs.👍

really nice song man. love that slidy guitar at the beginning (a bass?). great sound production, interesting chord changes, and some really cool lyrics about the mysteries of the sirens. fab work!!

ON|RUST as it appears here on soundcloud is the first stage of a small project that is actually called O|N|RUST consists of this track, plus a Bandcamp version (January 2024 - supplemented with two short pieces for percussion and electronics) and a 2024 small scale vinyl release. I've built a number of rhythmic sound machines especially for this piece which mainly consists of the hum and interference of electrical equipment supplemented with an electric guitar drone. Mastered by Rupert Clervaux.

Can you hear it?
voices bringing fear of missing out
'Lure the sailors!'
Who can tell what the song is about?

Icy seas and restless winds,
Clouds closing in
I can hear Sirens sing.

From my window,
of oppurtunity I try to get a glimpse
Of a way
To get me  - out of here

Signal tower
doesn't shine no more.
Light is dimmed
and the harbour dark.

Strap me to the mast

Four winds blowing
honeyed voices tempting us
A lover's promise
That none can keep but all of us want

Icy seas and restless winds
Clouds closing in
I can hear Sirens sing

Come and get it, she said
You can - enjoy yourself.
Don't you worry
about these barren rocks in the surf,

This shipwreck's end is oh so cruel
A life closing down
How could I be such a fool

Strap me to the mast

Strapped to the mast

Strapped To The Mast

Original song and lyrics by Linda Straub

Let Me Go 
(In memory of my little girl Daisy I just lost)

Lyrics

Mommy it's time to let me go,
I know you heart is breakin'.
You see me everywhere,
in my basket of toys, soft bed I slept in.


I had to rise above this earthly world
and leave all my suffering behind.
Although I hated leaving you,
please know, we'll meet again in time. 

Let me go where I can run free,
my  body healthy and anew.
Picture me the way I used to be,
the way I'll be when next I see you

You gave me such a wonderful life,
and I always felt loved and adored.
I know I made you happy too,
you were my person, and I was yours. 

I know you are crying now,
and don't want to give me up.
The years we spent together
were so precious to this pup.

But now, you need to dry your tears,
and find the strength to let me go.
We'll meet again one day you'll see.
We'll be together forever then.. you and me. 

We'll be together forever then..you and me.

Gospel road

I would like all First fans to hear this.
Can you overcome the barriers in front of you? Before you stop, believe in your potential. There will be no more barriers or boundaries. 
Realize that it is you who are creating the divides. 
The truth is, you are free and open before you.

Go Over The Line

(English translation below)
Urmitz, ein kleiner Ort in der nähe von Koblenz, im Mittelrheintal. Es ist früh am Morgen. Die Sonne ist gerade aufgegangen und vertreibt den noch im Tal liegen Frühnebel.

Bei der Entstehung dieses Songs hatte ich von Anfang an dieses Bild im Kopf, das ich, vor etwas mehr als 10Jahren, in der Morgenstunde aufgenommen habe.

Mit der Umsetzung des Songs hab ich mich dieses mal schwer getan, da ich sehr lange an dem Mix gearbeitet habe. Ich wünschte ich hätte zwei gesunde Ohren. Ich hoffe trotzdem, das ihr viel Spaß beim hören habt.
_____________________________

English translation:
Urmitz, a small village near Koblenz, in the Middle Rhine Valley. It is early in the morning. The sun has just risen and is dispersing the early morning mist still lying in the valley.

When I wrote this song, I had this picture in my head from the very beginning, which I took more than 10 years ago in the early morning.

I had a hard time with the realization of the song this time, because I worked on the mix for a very long time. I wish I had two healthy ears. I hope you enjoy listening to it anyway.

I've just about finished the Foundation project now. In the far future, humanity has forgotten the location of the "home" planet. Asimov cleverly weaves intrigue and danger into the search for an almost mythological planet.
The guitar parts were played on a Gibson Memphis 335.
