After decades of sharing my life with my loved one Tina, I thought it was time to say thank you for all those years. It tells the story of unconditional loving, yearning, awaiting, high & low times, laughing & crying ... to express my love to my girl; I could't have find a better one.
First played live 2012 in front of Tina (crying) and an audience (which enlightened lighters).

Samain - The Metal Breaks My Senses (1984)

Recorded April 2014. A melody which had been since ages in my mind when I thought and met my later - and still - lovely wife Tina. Romantic scenes, butterflies in the guts, especially at the time I didn't know if she knew I fell hopelessly in love with her.

Final Version
Music by Bernd Emsermann - Lyrics by Holger Neumann - Re-Arranged by Bernd Emsermann
Line-Up: Bernd Emsermann (vocals, bass) - Christian Hartig (keyboards) - Holger Neumann (drums programming) - Ralf Wiethoff (guitars) | Final version additional guitar Andy Schade

The first recordings were done in 1985, later on 86/87 before it was re-arranged in 1988/89. Written by Bernd Emsermann way back in 1983 for another project beside SAMAIN, named H.M (Line-Up: Bernd Emsermann [b, voc], Martin Gombik [dr], Ralf Wiethoff [g]., the song had to wait until the fall in '85 when Holger and Ralf had left SAMAIN and were asked by Bernd if they were interested in a new band. After recording "You Are My Lifeblood" (written by Ralf) which also was an audition for keyboard player Christian Hartig, Bernd would suggest "Baby Love" as another song to record.

There are some more versions of the song, as the original with a guitar solo at the end (fade out), and with passed away David C. White on vocals.

As guitarist of TAKE CARE I should've been offended the guitar solo in the closing section was replaced by a new part, and knowing Bernd loved (until today) my style of playing, I must say Bernd did it right. This final version is the most powerful and best version of the song - and it's still one of my TC favs ...

Ralph Veety - Always On The Go [instrumental] | (c) 2016 by Ralf Wiethoff | On the forthcoming album "S_tories A_nd M_emories A_ccreted I_n N_otes"
The songs on the album are a reminiscence to my old band SAMAIN. They [shall] show what would've been the musical direction the band may have taken if we hadn't split up.

Stories And Memories Accreted In Notes

Always On The Go

Part of the concept album "Stories To Be Told" which is autobiographical.
Words & Music (c) by Ralph Veety. Recorded 2016.

The track describes what life was with its highs and lows, from "baby-boy to a full grown man".  Although there is melancholy in the lyrics (especially when playing kids are in the background) and the guitar solo at the end sounds a bit sad, it's more to say, "what great life I had".
