Disposable Music and Collectible Razors

Harmonious Lines (Feat. Cesareo)

Each of us has somebody up there whom we miss...

Not everyone is worth missing, but missing someone is hard for all. I miss you.
To make the pain lighter, one should learn from childhood to value everyone in their life to the fullest.
We indeed miss the most those we too often take for granted. At least I do.
Everyone is missing someone they somehow thought would never go away, or at least not so soon.
Experiencing the hurt, the loss is also a stroke of luck. Because it means I loved you.
Find the hope to see you again and the courage to keep memories present.

REVOLVING (PROD. DED STARK)

Keeps The Candy Tight

"Night Whispers" Written and performed by "Northern Sky"  

As I wander through the night 
All on my own Beneath the stars 
Where dreams are sown In the quiet 
Where memories weave 
Faces and places 
The ghosts I retrieve 
Crisp air whispers tales of what could be 
In shadows I find the essence of me  
Hold on tight Let worries drift away 

In the night Find the strength to stay 
See the gifts 
My love, don't let them fade 
Every dawn is a promise 
Don't be afraid  
Sometimes, love we must take a pause 
Look around Find the beauty in our flaws 
Hold on tight Let worries drift away 
In the night Find the strength to stay 
See the gifts My love, don't let them fade 
Every dawn is a promise Don't be afraid  
Hold on, my love Through the darkest night 
The new day's brightness  Will make everything right  

These lyrics capture a journey of introspection and finding strength in the quiet moments of the night. The imagery of wandering under the stars and retrieving memories gives a sense of solitude, where the narrator is reflecting on their past and discovering their true self. There's a comforting message woven throughout, encouraging the listener to hold on tight, let go of worries, and embrace the gifts and promises of each new day. The lyrics remind us that even in the darkest times, there's hope and beauty to be found, and that every dawn brings a fresh start. It's about finding resilience and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how tough things get.

Night Whispers

creativity is a mystery
but you're not
were gonna make history
i'm an astronaut
you're the moon
 the solar system is the plot
he put a light in all of us
but the rest of them forgot
make every day a Sunday
and write you a song
i see beauty in nature
because looking at you 
has trained my eyes
to know where it belongs
i see all the colors
you left for me to paint
i've been working in monochrome
and you're the only one that told me that's a shame
because it was you baby
only you
baby
when they see my masterpiece in color
you're gonna get the blame
you made me see colors
i sing this song in your name

LYRICS

Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.

Coming soon! We pretend to be fine.
There a fire in the wastelands. What's mine?
Waste of time.
There's a fire.
We Survive.

There's a crack in the side of the farm.
You would think that they'd run but they stay.
Waste the light.
Avoid the night.
Stay alive. 

There's a river that's flowing with gold.
That you get, when you're good, if you're old.
Waste of life.
Taste the Night.
Stoke the fire.

All of her maybes, mistaken for definitely's.
All you can do is move on.
All of your sure things, replaced now with possibly's.
You've got no crutch to lean on.

All of his don't knows, revealed to be so lows.
That you didn't see where they came from.
All of the can does, are hollow lists of to does.
Interstellar. Toodle-oo. 
Now I'm gone.

Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.

There's a message we sent to the sky.
Imagine that wont be getting too far.
Trip the wire.
To the stars.
To the stars.

There's a man on the moon, and he's heating a spoon.
As he looks sadly down on the earth.
There's a cow.
What's that now?
Holy cow.

Wee Willie runs through the town.
Crying loud as he seeks them all out.
Get to bed.
In your head.
Go to bed.

All you've got left are some rust, cans of peaches.
A pile of old Vizzes and porn.
A Fray Bentos pie and your rosy complexion.
There's no one left you rely on. 

A bust of Beethoven, a packet of suet.
A commemorative plate, a Princess Di coin.
An overfilled ashtray, a battered red jumper.
Interstellar. Toodle-oo. 
Now I'm gone.

All of her maybes, mistaken for definitely's.
All you can do is move on.
All of your sure things, replaced now with possibly's.
You've got no crutch to lean on.

All of his don't knows, revealed to be so lows.
That you didn't see where they came from.
All of the can does, are hollow lists of to does.
Interstellar. Toodle-oo. 
Now I'm gone.

Waste of time....
There's a fire. 
We Survive.
Waste the light...
Avoid the night. 
Stay alive.
Waste of life...
Taste the Night. 
Stoke the fire.
Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.
Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.

Interstellar Toodle-oo [2024 Remaster]

About a guy who reflects back on an early love and wonders what life would have been with her.


Lyrics:

Once In A While
© 2002 Gary Randman

[Verse 1]
Long time ago
In a town near the coast
Met a girl named Jolene
For a little while we were real close

We’d runaway
To go hide in the caves
Where we talked and we laugh
And we fell in love, it was true love

[Chorus]
Once in a while
Thinking of her
What it be like
Life together now

[Verse 2]
She’d always say
To be strong not afraid
So I gave her my heart
If I would hurt she would heal me

Cold winter days
Lying close feeling safe
And we held on so tight
It felt so good and it felt right

[Chorus]
Once in a while
Thinking of her
What it be like
Life together now

[Verse 3]
Remember the day
She moved away
And we kissed one last time
She said good luck, don’t forget me


[Chorus]
Once in a while
Thinking of her
What it be like
Life together now

[Outro]
Now I’m living with someone else
It’s good but I think
If I was still with her now
Would it be the same?

Once In A While (Demo)

Lyrics

I’m just glad to say
That I’m happy to be here
Though I’m out of my element
I’m still glad to just be here

And I gotta stay true to who I am
To not leave a nature in ruins
Yeah you’ve gotta stay true to what feels right
So as not to leave your nature in ruins

I’m just glad to say
That I’m happy to be here
Though I may be out of my element
I’m still thankful to be here

No more looking for a way out
Looking for a way out
No more looking for a way out
No more looking for a way out
Looking for a way out
No more looking for a way out

comfort in skin

Are you watching the earth spin around?
Through the clouds, through the clouds, all the clouds.
You don't lift up your head up and look round.
Look around, look around, at the clouds.
When the cloudburst is tumbling down.
To the ground.

See you speak but you don't make a sound.
Look around, for the sound, for the sound.
And you're only a face in the crowd?
Walking round, head bowed down, bowing down.
Won't you get your head out of my clouds?
On the ground.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.

Is your head fucked up spinning around?
Spin around, round and round, spinning round.
Is your head still stuck up in a cloud?
Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down.
You choose now to take your look around?
To the ground.

When you can't see the wood for the trees?
On your knees, to your knees, on your knees.
And if you don't stay still you will freeze.
As you please, as they please, as I please.
All the clouds floating off on the breeze.
On your knees.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.



The Clouds

This is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

We worked a bit longer on this one, starts as a gentle love song but there's a little snake in the grass. A big thank you, Ian Collins @ian-211 for the string arrangement, drums, helping producing and the choir singing!

Lyrics
____________________________

I want you to be the first thing I see
When I wake up from dreaming about you
Sweet sleepy head your warmth in my bed
Your yawn when my arm glides around you

I make you some tea and egg toast with cheese
And arrange it solemnly on a sheet
"You smile at me lovingly, you care for me touchingly", you say when I kiss you in Mandrake Suite

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34
I discovered a natural beauty I couldn’t ignore, nevermore

Oh my god I fell back asleep till I heard the door-sweep
While you already showered and look fully dressed
You tell me it’s a crime but we ran out of time
And a client is waiting, I hope he’s the last

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34...

Aah, you’re the first thing
Aah, let me be the last thing
