I Am Screaming

When Legpuppy asked if I fancied remixing another of their tracks, I jumped at the chance.  Out came my dusty guitars, the old bass and well, this is what happened.  Punk? Rock? Dance? Pop? I have no idea what you call these three and a half minutes…but wow, were they fun to put together and I still feel somewhat breathless by the end.

Lyrics:

Falling down, down on your knees,
Hiding your face, crying "stay with me, please"
You look up to the blackest sky
There's nothing there, just a void and the echo of one last goodbye
And you say "Oh my god, what have I done?
Walking away, I'll see you the other side
In a distant dream" 
Saying those things brought comfort to you
"Forgive me, Lover, for I have sinned"

Whispering your name
I feel so lonely waiting in vain,
Energy wasted in the empty space.
Blinded by the darkest night,
 We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders
 And it hurts more than any other pain.

And nothing is ever easy
It seems there's no way out,
No shortcut other than what we've got.
Everything's fading 
and time is healing the scars we've made to eachother.

Whispering your name
I feel so lonely waiting in vain...

You look up to the blackest sky
There's nothing there, just a void and the echo of one last goodbye.
"Oh my god, what have i done?
Walking away, I'll see you on the other side
In a distant dream"
Walking away was the biggest sin
And nothing is ever easy,
It seems there's no way out.

Lost Cargo (Cover)

Graeme says.....This started off as a vaguely pleasant but unremarkable little instrumental demo which I'd filed away wondering what, if anything could be done to bring it up to scratch....... Luckily, along came Gina who breathed some new life into it and it ended up becoming this chilled out little pop song....
Gina says....This song is a ramble about life going off into other directions than you had originally planned and then finding that you need to re-start with that original plan because the side-track ended up a dead end.....

I lost my reason for coming
While I was talking to you 
I didn't know that someone
Could be so real
I lost my reason for coming 
While I was talking to you 
Never dreamed that someone
Could give me that feel
mmmmm
And you were travelling right
In the same direction as me
And you were so real 
And you gave me that feel
So I went forward with you
Down along your streets
Anywhere with you
Perfect place to be mmmm

And now I'm trying 
And I won't stop
I got my heart set
On turning this around
Turning this around once again

But now I'm stepping on sparks
It's a one way game
There were always two sides to be sure
Oh you took care to only show me one
Until flipping
Lands the other side up 
And I'm down.
So down

So yeah I'm back at the front door
Trying to recall
My reason for coming
Yeah I'm back at the front door
Wish I could recall
My reason for coming

But there's that feel and so real
Just like when I was talking to you.

Red Vinyls - Wanna Be Admired

The past is crawling under my skin
Like black metal wires feeding with my flesh
Being and Nothingness
In the darkness of the universe.

With shiny unseen species of deadly butterflies
Take me back to the day I was a stranger to your lies.

Blindly yet awaken down on fascination street
Where birds are falling on the ground
In a joyful play of life and death
One after another
Dying and making no sound.

I'm a visionaire, I'm always visiting the same ruins
And they never change not even if it rains
Taller than me in concrete paralysis
In absolute stability defying mortality.

Monoliths of anger and sorrow
Chosen by no one
Living in the present like there's no tomorrow
I don't belong to anyone.

Being And Nothingness

My mind is running wild, my eyes are burning
Dissolving thoughts like ashes in the wind
Surrounded by lost sequences where wisdom and despair went hand in hand
In perfect symmetry.

All worries are replaced with the bittersweet sensation 
That I must leave the room when I should stay
So I'm watching the clouds of my intentions 
And once more they go away.

We saw beyond the untouchable line even before our time
No ghosts there, nothing to be afraid of,
 I'm here now, everything in fine.

Fragments of essential information 
Trying hard to fit the picture
Details are spreading on the screen like a bad disease
And like blind bats of the Grotesque.
Rewind in slowmotion naked images
Of two souls devouring eachother
Strange atmosphere of divine madness.

Going oh, so well in pure darkness
Even the slightest movement transformed by the fear
Such blasphemy to expect everything while you give nothing 
And if you do, no one will understand.

Meditations

When Joey wrote out his Christmas list
Many years before The Ramones existed
He made a wish and to his surprise
Santa Claus appeared before his eyes

CHORUS
And Joey he went Hey! Hey! Hey!
And Santa Claus went Ho Ho Ho
And Joey gave out a Hey! Hey! Hey!
And both of them sang Hey Ho! Let's Go
It's Christmas
It's Christmas time

A leather jacket and some drain pipe jeans
Were on the list as well as other things
Santa had a sherry and Joey a mince pie
They rocked some Christmas carols well into the night

CHORUS

Joey unwrapped a mean pair of shades
The same pair that he wore for decades
One too many sherrys Santa's drunk as a skunk
Joey is a kid and Santa is a punk

CHORUS

When Joey Met Santa (Hey Ho!  Its Christmas)

a.k.a the serious EP. Life is not full of sunshine and rainbows.

Composed February 2018, recorded December 2020. Unrequited love sucks , but in my opinion, it's better to be rejected on the spot than led on.

(Lyrics)

(Verse 1)
It was too good to be true, too bad it didn't work.
Too perfect for me and eternity.
If we can turn back time, before you broke my heart,
before I fell in love, before we even start.

(Chorus)
Pass me by, you really didn't have to make me cry.
All you had to do was pass me by. 
You really didn't have to make me cry, pass me by.

(Verse 2)
You shouldn't lead me on, a true heart that you lack.
I hope you meet someone and Karma pays you back.
So much in common, thought we're doing fine.
Thought you will be mine, if we can turn back time.

(Chorus)

(Bridge) If we can turn back time, all you had to do is

(Chorus)

Pass Me By

5. Qual - Tenebris In Lux - Life In The Mirror

He said to screw the Universe
No more great expectations but the marvellous fear of taking the risk
In the dark
The exact moment we're holding hands
The whole world expands
To the point we separate from the ordinary 
And perhaps there's no time left for another story.

Such a divine comedy to believe in the certainty of chance 
Late after midnight, no melatonin,
The feeling's intense
My own decisions brought me here where I stand
I'm not complaining
I just don't know which path to take.

"We need to live in a state of suspended animation like a work of art..."
Detached, as he said in that song
And he was right,
Cause there's a bright side to any problem.

And the world is ours with all it has to give, though it's a mystery
Try to forget and forgive, 
It's useless to live like this
To waste my time trying to find a meaning in everything
I have my limits, that is true, 
But I'm young at heart
Still awake when it gets dark.






Young At Heart

Just another day....   [original piano improvisation]

See my reflection in the deep black water
Waiting to capture my thoughts in a cage
Cold streets are paved with infinite sadness
And all I see are swans leaving the place

The sound in my head is The Flowers of Evil
A selection of songs for nostalgic days
Walking alone is a blissful experience
I don't need anyone to tell me I'm wrong.

Playing our roles in a never ending script,
Laughing and crying and seeking for happiness,
A possibility born out of our consciousness
But hold on, it's an illusion.
We make the big mistake of thinking that there's enough time for everything
When in fact, there's none.

And I look back at all these people 
Drowning in their own futile existence without even knowing how insignificant it is
Nothing but particles of dust
I wish it was stardust, but it's no more than galactic trash.

See my reflection in the deep black water

I don't need anyone to tell me I'm wrong

Time (with The Eyes of Heisenberg)

Chapter Seven of a concept album about a rock band performing their first celebrated gig whilst the world comes to an end.

Ch 07 - Only in my Wildest Dreams - Just as hope is lost, a figure of beauty appears.  A true love is born.

ONLY IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
At a time when I'd given up and trashed any hope
I saw an angel shining vibrant through the dust and the smoke
Its no joke

CHORUS1
I'm jumping - my heart started pumping - this truly is something
Only in my wildest dream
She's running towards me - My legs have gone wobbly
Only in my wildest dream
The smile when the eyes meet - A beauty so complete
Only in my wildest dream

She ignores all my faults, disregards how I look
Since the world went and ended I've been down on my luck
What a schmuck

CHORUS2
I'll endeavour to keep her forever - till death or whatever
Only in my wildest dream
I can sense I'm  new man - to be her true champion
Only in my wildest dream
Let's dance through pollution - we're new evolution
Only in my wildest dream

CHORUS 1 & 2

Only In My Wildest Dreams

Chapter Two of a concept album about a rock band performing their first celebrated gig whilst the world comes to an end.

Ch 02 - Wasted Heroes - Reality soon dawns that this is a long game and negativity leads to depression

Wasted Heroes

Nuclear Past

Sin temor

Words & Music: Jan Schonander

This song is written from a man's perspective, but I think it could be equally valid for a woman. I have plenty of friends that have found their companions using dating apps. I also have a number of friends that have many - let's say - interesting experiences. And, maybe it's best to realize what you've got.

In terms of how this was recorded...there are no real guitars. I used Logic Pro X Revolving Lines with a couple of gain settings as well as the Distorted Stratocaster. There are two bass lines using the Prog Rock Bass and as always I am programming the virtual drummer. The various organs and piano are all Korg SV-1 native with some post processing. Basically it's the same stuff I used for "Forgot To Say" and "Feline Fever".

Lastly, I've noticed that some listeners interpret my lyrics as all personal experiences. In this case I would among many things be a three time felon, met my "working" wife on  a crossing and I would actually be African American - I can report that this is far from my ordinary life.

BLIND DATE

Choosing left and right
An ordinary night
On his own
Scotch in his hand
Microwave dinner
Looking for some company
Some sweet lovin
Looking for a friend
Didn’t want another dead end

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a much better mate

She stepped in the bar
Painted to the nines
Three martini lush & more
Preached about men
Layed down the rules
He looked in her eyes 
Made sure that she understood
She was more than he could
He left that chat for good

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

He looked left and right
Nothing recognizable in sight
And then she said “Hello,
I think you’re my beau”
A completely different woman
His face turned wooden
Oh its so tragic
Not his kind of magic

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

Staying at home
Staying at home
All on his own
Right next to his phone
He heard her chime
Turned on a dime
She said “Honey, I miss you”
He said “Not another blind date,
not another blind date”

Blind Date

PREMIERE: PAAR - EIS

I wrote this somewhat loopy lyrics, when it was announced on CNN that Joe Biden had won the race for president against Donald Trump. My hope for a return of a real democracy in the sense of Willie Brandt's " More freedom daring", which for me always also means more humanity, more tenderness, more creativity and ultimately more love daring, experienced a powerful upswing that evening. And so these lines of text with the basic message "Still Love is there" literally poured out of me. 

Still love is there (Lyrics in English)

Black holes glow
Moths wear jewelry

Cows dance ballet
Bugs have a bun

The stars, they come by for a coffee
Admission free
Plumb free

The sharks have put on pink lipstick 
The naked mole rats are on top of the golden wagon

Even the blindworms dare to come out of their hiding place
Revealed
The seeing discovered

The aquarium Fishes swim out
The barbed wire fences start to stroke

A tadpole basks in the white house

The earth gently leans back

Still love is there
Still love is there

Scissors become hands
Air mattresses can fly

Folding wheels embrace each other
And can have children

A letter carrier settles into a mailbox 
Invites us 
Come in

A holy water kettle befuddles the senses
Prohibition signs begin to yearn

SUV's open up
And can be tamed

The solar system dances itself free

Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there

Diesen etwas durchgeknallten Text schrieb ich, als auf CNN bekanntgegeben wurde, dass Joe Biden das Rennen um das Präsidentenamt gegen Donald Trump gewonnen hatte. Meine Hoffnung auf eine Rückkehr einer echten Demokratie im Sinne von Willie Brandts "Mehr Freiheit wagen", was für mich immer auch heißt, mehr Menschlichkeit, mehr Zärtlichkeit, mehr Kreativität und letztendlich mehr Liebe wagen, erfuhr an diesem Abend einen kräftigen Aufschwung. Und so quollen diese Textzeilen mit der Grundbotschaft "Still Love is there" förmlich aus mir heraus.


Still Love is there (Deutscher Originaltext)

Schwarze Löcher leuchten
Motten tragen Schmuck

Kühe tanzen Ballett
Wanzen haben nen`Dutt

Die Sterne, sie kommen auf einen Kaffee vorbei
Eintritt frei
Bleifrei

Die Haie haben Lippenstift rosarot aufgetragen 
Die Nacktmullen stehen ganz oben auf dem goldenen Wagen

Selbst die Blindschleichen trauen sich aus Ihrem Versteck
Aufgedeckt
Das Sehen entdeckt

Die Aquariumsfische schwimmen hinaus
Die Stacheldrahtzäune streicheln

Eine Kaulquappe sonnt sich im weißen Haus

Die Erde lehnt sich sanft zurück

Still love is there
Still love ist there

Scheren werden zu Händen
Luftmatratzen können fliegen

Falträder umarmen sich
Und können Kinder kriegen

Ein Postbote richtet sich in einem Briefkasten ein 
Lädt uns ein 
Kommt herein

Ein Weihwasserkessel benebelt die Sinne
Verbotsschilder beginnen sich zu sehnen

SUV’s öffnen sich
Und lassen sich zähmen

Das Sonnensystem tanzt sich frei

Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there
Still Love is there

Still Love is there

Still Love Is There
