A lead guitar plays nice melodies over a simple backing track (drums, bass, keyboards). Vocals are so last millennium, this is the modern nice music were the guitar speaks to those who know how to listen. Play it once, why not play it again?! Four times you listen to this and then you want to listen to it again. As they used to say back in the day: turn on, tune in, drop out!

LYRICS
Ugly when I wake up, Ugly when I get up.
I don’t feel on the spot. Wanna be in control.
Have to go to classroom. What a laziness!

I feel what I am now. Just see what I am now.
Jumping in space and time. It's really cool to get so high.	Yeah!

All the broken roads. Crashes everywhere 
I've just had enough. What could those damn pigs have done?

(INTERLUDE)

Bored of the present, Moving on to nostalgia.
 
I don't care what people think,
I just go on stage and play
what I want is music
because that is what I like,

I feel what I am now.  //  Back to my space
Just see what I am now.  //  Finishing schoolwork
Jumping in space and time.  //  Explosions everywhere
it's really cool to get so high.  //  When the teacher leaves the classroom

Toronto Calling

When the teacher leaves the classroom... Explosion!

6. When The Teacher Leaves The Classroom... Explosion!

SWERVING PACKS
IN THE JUNKIE LAND
WHERE THE FUNK BE AT
METH HEADS NODDING TAKE ME BACK
DIRTY SHOES WITH DIRTY RACKS

ALL YOUR BITCHES SMASH AND PASS
TAKE YOUR TIME WHILE IT LAST 
HOLDING GRUDES FROM THE PAST
FUCK THEM ALL 
I'M LIVING FAST
ALL MY FEELINGS CRASH
ROLL THAT SHIT WITH PRETTY HASH

TOUCHING GRASS
MOST HIGH 
TILL ASHU TURN INTO ASH
LOOKING FOR THE MEANING 
THREW THAT IN  TRASH
GRAB SOME CASH 
SPEND IT ON  DUMB SHIT 
WATCH MY LIFE FUCKING FLASH

Junkie Land

StillnessTheory is a blues-infused, hipster-rooted acoustic rock band that blends raw soul with modern groove. Built around the earthy tones of harmonica, acoustic guitar, bass, and stripped-down drums, their sound is equal parts front-porch honesty and backroom swagger. It’s music for long drives, late nights, and slow-burning revelations.

The vocals drip with warmth and grit, Stillness Theory crafts songs that feel lived-in—stories told through smoky melodies and rhythmic ease. Their harmonica lines cut through like memory, while the acoustic guitar lays down a steady pulse that’s both intimate and expansive. Bass and drums keep it grounded, but never rigid—always loose enough to breathe.

Drawing inspiration from vintage blues, indie folk, and the mellow side of psychedelia, Stillness Theory doesn’t chase trends. They chase feeling. Whether it’s a love lost in the haze or a moment of clarity in the chaos, their music invites listeners to lean back, light up, and let go.

Musician & songwriter driven just by passion for songwriting and singing. I am releasing "SoundCloud first" but some selected songs are also on https://potbarley.bandcamp.com or Spotify etc, sometimes in older versions though.
Since spring 2023 I have been writing and recording mainly as a "one man band", using acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, an old piano, conga, etc. and a voice.
Former member of German bands: In Rags (with Sami Yli-Sirniö and Roman Keymer), Sharkpool and Dutch bands Garbitsjkeng, The Wit, Trio van Putten and and a few others. I baptized my Alter Ego and named him "Pot Barley".
