Ja die Menschen rennen zur Zeit wie die Lemminge in den   Abgrund, traurig aber wahr. Super Text !!!!

That warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you are inside watching the mega-rain hitting a ground surface that is far too hot to exist, but knowing you can retreat into an enclosure of air-conditioned blissful escapism... and maybe running out for a beer.

The acoustic idea I presented to Mike to evolve was based on the idea of creating a Beatles meets The Doors vibe.
Magic Mike worked his wonderful skill ranges including his great harmonies and invited Axel on board to give it the Doorsey Hammond/Wurlitzer sound.
A massive thanks for their incredible contributions and for being just really good people. 
The second one from me & Mike on This Sound Society project.
Hopefully more planned for the future but I think Mike is far to popular as everyone wants a piece of him. The word prolific can’t even keep up with him !
His turn out of songs is truly remarkable so if you haven’t already listened to his music go and check him out under Mike Fox along with Axel Menningen. 
I hope you like it may be a bit of a grower for some but it’s just a fun quirky pop tune.

Polly-Anna Swift (Brownie, Fox & Menningen)

Chorus 
oh Miss Polly~Anna  Swift
I know I should’ve of kissed 
Your red glossy lips 
Oh Miss Polly ~ Anna Swift
They looked so inviting 
like a  perfect gift
Oh Miss  Polly-Anna Swift
I thought you were forever the optimist 

V1
Your world is fluffy pink and perfectly round 
My world is spiky a little ugly & loud 
And When two worlds collide 
We need to compromise 
Put  our differences aside 
That’s  better now you smiled

Chorus 

V2 
So what’s my chances as i can be optimist
Did I blow it for you so I could taste your lips 
I’m hoping your thinking some good comes out of this
Even if it’s unlikely to be Mrs instead of Miss 

Finish on Chorus

Inspired by the view across the sea. I intended to make this on the beach, but wind, sand and laptops are not compatible species. So made in the hotel and poolside mobile studio :)

Storms Rising Over North Africa

What's wrong with us?
When have dictators ever kept us safe or made the world a safer place?
Why do we embrace self-pity and hatred so easily? How is it possible that we believe that billionaires will look after us when all they do is exploit us?
How come we are happily giving away rights and freedoms we were so proud of?
But hey, seems like I'm not lost for words. That's something, I guess.



Look at the faces, hollow and bright,
Votes in their hands, they're feeding the right,
Blindfolds on, and marching in tune,
Echoes of power from long-silent rooms.

Dow-dow-dow, dow-dow-dow, down we go,
In the shadow of flags that grow,
Turning the clocks, rewinding time,
To an age where fear was prime.

They preach freedom, chains in disguise,
Whispering lies that hypnotize,
The smoke and mirrors, polished and clean,
Selling dreams with a fascist sheen.

Dow-dow-dow, dow-dow-dow, down we go,
In the shadow of flags that grow,
Voices drown in chants of steel,
“Democracy,” but nothing’s real.

Look at us, laughing like fools,
While the powerful sharpen their tools,
The circus blazes, fires in line,
They bought our silence, one vote at a time.

One by one, rights slip away,
Nodding heads in silent dismay,
The laughter fades, the skies grow cold,
As we watch Musk's dream unfold

Now say, say, say, say goodbye,
To the voices raised, to the open sky,
March along, girls “safe and sound,”
As your rights rot in the ground.
Yes, say, say, say, say hello
To the outrage, to the 'told you so'
Sing along, men, sound and safe
As you're digging your own graves

WHICH ONE VS. OZEBA (Rashad Rawkus Flip)

PhunkEmUp (Prod. Feio)

Outrageously expressive vocalist and dancer, regrettably trapped in the tone-deaf body of a cage fighter - hence eternally death-embracing Goth
Deeply religious, yet extremely critical of a clearly unfinished project - Lord, what were thee thinking?
According to many, blasphemous, as I do not oppose a certain fallen angel. It just seems so obvious to me that this creature ('creation, see what I did there?), is just as necessary as the dear Lord himself - and is still trying to clean up some of the mess left behind. I think...
There are times when I've been known to express political thoughts, but only ever to desperately call for revolution and/or declare violence as acceptable as long as it is directed at fascists (and only as long as the good lord does not himself deal with these dickheads by bestowing upon them erectile disfunction and reserving them special rooms in hell). 
Strictly for freedom, opportunity, love, food, shelter, education, health, empathy and dreams. For a true, science based and supported, social democracy. Absolutely not in favour of any form of dictatorship, be that fascist or socialist. However, and to be clear - I am not somewhere in the middle, nor on a fence ;)

Musically, I like to think that I am influenced by classical music, as well as death and doom metal, gospel, blues, country, 80's pop, east-german 80's punk, gothic rock, Enya and, of course, Abba, however, when I listen to the stuff I churn out when I'm experiencing just the right level of depression, I can't help but be reminded of classics like 'Da Da Da' by Trio or 'I'm too sexy for my shirt' by Right Said Fred.
I'd love to liken my voice to heroes like David Bowie, Nick Cave, Blixa Bargeld, Peter Murphy, Andrew Eldritch, Dave Gahan, Marc Almond, Peter Steele and so many other real singers out there, but have to honestly say that, by carefully resisting the need to actually hit notes befitting the underlying musical arrangements, harmonies and ambience, I've managed to create a perfectly detuned and emotionally confused, yet consistently dislikeable style of my own. I wish I could say it grows on you ...

As all my remaining friends despair of my tyrannical tendencies (proudly displayed by diva-like tantrums) when participating in collaborative attempts to achieve somewhat melodious and/or rhythmic proclamations, I tend to squeeze these out all by my lone self. Should anyone out there feel capable (and inspired) to deal with an eternally intoxicated (by his own ego) and therefore very very angry individual, that (who?) is yet confusingly happy to sensually scream along any old tune (that does not glorify fascism), then please get in touch. 

Also happy if you get in touch if none of the above makes any sense to you, but you do like one or two of my songs - there must be someone out there ...

Thank you kindly for stopping by...
