Promise of the Sun

I built a fortress, under the sea
you held the ladder, but not for me

you were ascending, while I fell down
no moral endings, the silence was profound

you were a martyr, when no one cared,
the crowd that gathered, they all just stared

you found the courage, when there was none
the hardest lesson, be still when you could run

both sides were certain, both sides were wrong,
both sides deserted, the promise of the sun

don't relapse, don't relapse, don't relapse...

you were a stranger, in foreign lands
you spoke the language, they didn't understand

the mob was shouting, they wanted blood
the mindless smashing, as if they all were drugged

both sides were certain, both sides were wrong,
both sides deserted, the promise of the sun

don't relapse, don't relapse, don't relapse

if you hear laughing, and nothing sane
don't be discouraged, the prisoners run the cage

don't relapse, don't relapse, don't relapse... don't collapse

Promise of the Sun

Just The Reckoning

Introduction in English:

In my late 30s, I still suffered from frequent anxiety and panic attacks. During this time, I had a recurring nightmare: I am lying in my bed at night. Some dark, strange figure comes into my room. It slowly comes closer to me. Before it reaches me, I wake up screaming and drenched in sweat.  
One day my female psychoanalyst encouraged me to relive this dream with her company. Like a fairy godmother, she now sat in my imagination at the edge of my bed and held my hand. Thus I succeeded in letting the dark figure come closer. And at some point the strange being stood in front of me and I could look him directly in the face. And suddenly it became clear to me that it is the death which stands beside me; which probably always stood beside me and also always will stand beside me: My eternal companion. 
Since these sessions, panic attacks and anxiety attacks occur very rarely. And when they do come, I now know that it is basically my residual fear of finitude, of having to die, and finally of death. And from this realization, I can feel all the more in all my depths the legendary sentence of Sigmund Freud: "If you want to live well, prepare yourself early for death". The song "Finitude" was written against the background of these experiences It is in French, because for me this language comes closest to such existential themes.

Lyrics in English (for those, who don`t speak French):

Finitude

I have no time 
Finitude
Stands in my door
And speaks to me:

Come on go 

Don't stand still
Let no more time pass

The clock is ticking away 
Your shadow wins
Decay haunts you
Pain and anguish

But you are not alone 
The duty to die
Is the bond 

That unites us 
Whether rich or poor 
Wise or foolish

Death doesn't care
He takes us to himself

Finitude
I am ready
Look at you
You move closer to me

Till you're all there with me 

Look around me 
Many backs already crooked
The rollator goes ahead
Straight to the cemetery gate

The lifting only lasts 
Until the next tower clock

Then it comes out

That we melt 
We blow in the wind
Nothing of us remains 
Death rubs its hands

But do not forget
The duty to die 
Is the bond

That unites us 
Whether rich or poor 
Wise or foolish

Death does not care
He takes us to himself

Finitude
I am ready
Look at you
You move closer to me

Till you're all with me 
Until you are
Until you are 
Untill you are
Completely with me

Texte en français:

Finitude

Je n'ai pas le temps 
La finitude
Est à ma porte
Et me parle:

Allez, vas-y 
Ne t'arrête pas
Ne laisse plus passer le temps

L'horloge s'écoule 
Ton ombre gagne
Le déclin te hante
Douleur et tourment

Mais tu n'es pas seul 
Le devoir de mourir
Est le lien 

Qui nous unit 
Riche ou pauvre 
Intelligents ou idiots

La mort c'est pareil
Elle nous fait venir

Finitude
Je suis prêt
Je te regarde
Tu te rapproches de moi

Jusqu'à ce que tu sois 
Tout à fait avec moi 

Je regarde autour de moi 
Beaucoup de dos déjà courbés
Le rollateur va devant
Directement à la porte du cimetière

Le lifting ne dure que 
Jusqu'à la prochaine horloge de la tour

Puis il se révèle

Que nous passons 
Emportés par le vent
Qu'il ne reste rien de nous 
Que la mort se frotte les mains

Mais n'oublie pas
Le devoir de mourir 
Est le lien

Qui nous unit 
Riche ou pauvre 
Intelligents ou idiots

La mort c'est pareil
Elle nous fait venir

Finitude
Je suis prêt
Je te regarde
Tu te rapproches de moi

Jusqu'à ce que tu sois 
Tout à fait avec moi
Jusqu'à ce que tu sois
Jusqu'à ce que tu sois 
Jusqu'à ce que tu sois
Tout à fait avec moi

Grainy Days

GRAINY DAYS

As forty one summers flew by. 
Damn your age and the blink of your eye.
As all presumed miscreance followed by recompense.
Now. 
You're half done.

The pretender who should have been king.
The same man who could not do a thing for himself.
Or others, not following? 
Hard pills to swallow in life.
What a world.

Look... it's boredom or love on the rocks.
There's no way to avoid aftershocks.
It's either earth shattering, else it's a tiny bit... dull.
Choose your girl.

The fantasy life of your mind, 
Can only replace certain parts of the world.
We all have to live in it, hard to find give in it.
Relax.
Have a whirl.

Now you... hold your hands out to me.
Like we've still got the time.
I remember sixteen.
Seems like yesterday, right?

Was there much money where you grew up?
Were there many reasons to aim up?
Was there bread in the bread bin and laughter and music and songs?
Sing alongs?

Were your twenties a wonderful time? 
Or did you spend it trying to make sense of the world.
A drunken, embittering, withering, dallying fool.
What a world.

Now you... hold your hands out to me.
Now we're all on the slide.
Do you remember sixteen?
Bet you had quite the time.

What has become?
Face the rising sun.

What has become?

Much more to come.
Face the rising sun.

Now you... hold your hands out to me.
Like your right at my side.
I remember sixteen.
It was yesterday, right.

Down we go.
Down deeper we go.

Forty-One

(𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯)

We move through life, making choices that seem to matter, though we can't always tell.
And this was me, as though I was running out of time maybe I am or maybe I'm not. But still... here you are

Peace and Stars Mom,
see you in the clouds...

Lyrics:


Saw your future in advance 
You took a pose and shot a frame
Drop that picture in the sand
I might get back or sail away

Every fire has spoken
Every made-up broken wall

Here's your future in your face
You become water, fire and breath
Here's your future in the sand
Another you another place

Everyday is stuck and
Everyday is stuck and you roam

Every fire has spoken
Every made-up broken wall

Everyday is stuck and
Everyday is stuck and you roam

Maybe Not (Night Version)

Nor blanket of kindness, nor blanket of snow.
Covers me whole. Makes no inroads from...
The giant black smoke stack that bellows and blows.
Oh, how it blows. 
Blows out and blows.

Oh, please, oh, please.
Save me, from me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.
Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me, from being me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.

The choices I make must sit right in my head.
Eloise. Come with me.
If I make the wrong choice, I'll wish I were dead.
Eloise, we could be...
So happy you joined us, though you're rather late.
Honey, please, Set me free.
Now eat everything that we put on your plate.
On my knees, work with me.

Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me from just me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.
Oh, please, please, please.
Save me, save me, save me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.

Now I'm walking and talking.
And barely forestalling this breakdown.
Won't come free.
Eloise, in the garden of love.
I walk and I talk.
And say all the words I'm supposed to say now.
Alter me. 
Eloise, in your garden of love.

Some sort of third verse that explains the first two.
Eloise. Follow me?
The storm in your mind can't contain what you do.
Eloise. Follow me?

Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me, only me.
Eloise, with your garden of love.
Oh, please, please, please.
Save me, me, me.
Eloise, with your garden of love.

I'm walking, I'm baulking.
I'm right on the edge of a breakdown.
From the fee.
Eloise. Eloise  Eloise.
I can't walk, and I can't talk.
I can't alter the words that you say now.
Fancy free. 
Eloise. 
In your garden of love.

The choices I make must sit right in my head.
If I make the wrong choice, I'll wish I were dead.
Eloise in your garden of love.











Eloise

Hold me so close, don't you ever let go.
We both knew this ship had been loaded too low.
There's a sign somewhere saying we entered here at our own risk.
Oh, hold me, but let out the rope.
Just holding back from abysses and lows.
I'll keep you away from the things that I see when I'm down...

Shoulders upright, as the world hacks away, at my roots as I stumble and fall along the way.
Who's to pick me up off of the floor at the end of the night.
I'll face up to forever and go.
Out in the world full of confidence, knowing.
Always some hole I can crawl into when I'm back down....

All complicit, at the end of the day.
So easy to chase.
It's hard to admit that I'm wrong.
When I'm wrong.
The tossing and turning of turbulent night.
We all start to swing when we're losing the fight, and we're wrong.
And we're wrong...

Hold me so close, don't you ever let go.
The winter winds bite and the shadows they grow.
The walls that we build up will flatten the bridges we mend.
So just kiss me and never let go.
I'll hold your head when you're laid in the snow.
You just ignore anything I say when I get down...

Eternity hits at the end of the day.
There's more than one way.
It's hard to admit that I'm wrong.
When I'm wrong.
The fire still burns through the un-ending night.
It's tempting swing when you're losing the fight, and you're wrong.
And you're wrong...

The redemption just takes the pleasure away.
No endless debates.
It's hard to admit that I'm wrong.
When I'm wrong.
The fire still burns and competes with the night.
So easy to swing when you're losing the fight and you're wrong.
And you're wrong...

Hold me so close, don't you ever let go.
We both know this ship had been loaded too low.
There's a sign somewhere saying, we entered here at our own risk.
So just kiss me and never let go.
I'll hold back you from the demons below.
I'll keep myself to myself when I feel a bit down...

Let Go

Home on the range.
Oh, you got me to thinking.
I've given up the drinking.
A cool wind.
Blew me out with the breeze.
Out toward the...
Blue of the sea.
It's as deep as a mirror.
Captures up your fears.
In fissures.
And brings you back to...
Home on the range.
I'm a black hole just baulking.
At Professor Stephen Hawking.
You bought in.
No one discovered me!
I am just the...
Blue of the sea.
Oh, you got me to talking.
Long enough for longing to creep in.
Almost got to saying that...
You, are not me.
I was ready to back up.
Shortly pick my pack up.
A tautening.
Oh, I'm such a loser over you.

Home on the range.
Dealt me nothing but shoulders.
Cold looks from the boulders of ages.
Judged me by the wages.
You see!
Just can't beat the...
Blue of the sea.
Got me walking on eggshells.
Accused of writing Michelles.
To covet.
It must concern the...
Blue of the sea.
It's just the place where I'm sat at.
So lonely in the laundromat.
Top Hat.
Yeah, I'm just a loser for...
Home on the range.
Final act satisfaction.
An early thirst for action.
Some traction.
Has floated off on the breeze.
And now there's only me.


Home On The Range

"Friday Night Symphony" by These Guitars Say Sorry is a raw, acoustic indie folk track that delves into the gritty reality of weekend chaos fueled by alcohol in urban settings. The song paints a vivid picture of drunken violence, reflecting the harsh scenes witnessed in cities. With its stripped-down sound and honest lyrics, this indie folk anthem captures the stark essence of Friday nights.

Lyrics

Midnight tonight and shadows fall
There'll be blood on the pavement after all
Shattered glass sparkles, street lights fade
Why do all my weekends end this way?

I'll see all you all back here same time next week
If I have to do this one more time I'll weep

I'm sorry I don't recall your name
After a few drinks all girls look the same
At least you were beautiful for a night
I have to say you're not flattered by first light

I'll see all you all back here same time next week
If I have to do this one more time I'll weep

Won't you just sing along
To my drunken symphony
Have a drink or have a fight
It's all the same to me
Won't you just sing along
As we stagger down the street
We only drink so we forget
All that we could have been

Drink up for tomorrow we shall die
Play your cards right
You may breathe your last tonight

The morning hurts I don't want to regret
A hundred things I don't remember yet
We'll see all you all back here same time next week

If I have to do this one more time I'll weep
Sing a Friday night symphony
Then pour another have a drink with me

FEAR 

Fear mustn’t stop our rights
Even when they arrive in uniform in the streets
We are told: « In other countries it’s much worse. »
Since when do we have to refer to what’s wrong in the world?

Inside your factory
I sweep all the floors
I ask for real changes but
You just show me the door
Outside your business sphere
You don’t care and much more
I beg you for real changes
Cause’ I can’t take anymore

Never forget…
Fear doesn’t fall from heaven.
It has been injected since youth into our blood. 
Speeches lie to us, they float in the air
Love’s the only thing we ever meet without cares
…
Cause’ I still have the right to enjoy the sun

What I want is to go away
To change life, get rid of the grey
With you at my side
Against the tide
What I want is to stop your tears
Cause’ we’re living in the age of fear
I wanted to spend the time with mine
Instead I committed a crime
A terrifying crime

I had enough
In the woods was too much
You had to pay for your disregard
I chose the right day
The firework display drowned out your life when you screamed in the dark 

You thought I was a loser 
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
You thought I was a loser 
Now you caress the floor too
You classed me as a low life
But I had the same rights as you

Babe, I’m going home
But I have to tell you
I’m on fire

Fear

People In My Head

The Ride

With clattering piano, Nile Rodgers-esque guitar chunks and a stomping horn section, the new Fort Frances single is a wake-up call for the information age. Atwood Magazine describes the song as "a lyrical journey of endless news cycles and social media feeds; of theoretically 'massive' stories that surrender to the next day’s trend overnight; of a deluge of push notifications, emails and texts."

Are you also a daydreamer?
Wiki says that daydream is a fantasy that a person has while awake.

Daydreaming is the stream of consciousness that detaches from current external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction. This phenomenon is common in people's daily life shown by a large-scale study in which participants spend 47% of their waking time on average on daydreaming . There are various names of this phenomenon including mind wandering, fantasy, spontaneous thoughts, etc. Daydreaming is the term used by Jerome L. Singer whose research programs laid the foundation for nearly all the subsequent research in this area today. The list of terminologies assigned by researchers today puts challenges on identifying the common features of the phenomenon, in this case daydreaming, and on building collective work among researchers.

There are many types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists, however the characteristic that is common to all forms of daydreaming meets the criteria for mild dissociation. Also, the impacts of different types of daydreams are not identical. While some are disruptive and deleterious, others may be beneficial in some way.

Yes, I'm daydreamer. For this track I used acoustic guitar, oboe and clarinet, upright and supplement it with glockenspiel.

Estrella, titila, la noche,
