Song description and explanations:
Katyusha:
Katyusha is a russian patriotic folk song. It's about a Russian woman called Katyusha.
"Standing on a steep riverbank, she sends her song to her beloved, a soldier serving far away."
In Nat King Cole's english version, one line of the song reads: "Purple skies Remind me of Katyusha"
Another line in other translation reads: "Apple trees and pear trees went into blooming,"

The russians named also the "Katyusha Rocket Launcher" after it.
This was the idea for the line in my own lyrics. "these are the strange love greetings sent to us by Katyusha from afar."

The Herald was an officer whose duty it was to proclaim war or peace, carry challenges to battle, and messages between sovereigns etc.

"Roundup your sheeps and wolves back home to the flock"
Get your soldiers back. Those who did not want to go there and also those who fought there.

Full Lyrics:
I stand alone here on the steep curled riverbank border
watch how the sky reflects deep purple in the mirrorblank water.
How could it happen that my thoughts revolve only around this war?
these are the strange love greetings sent to us by Katyusha from afar.

I ask myself if it’s okay to wish for spring come to arrive
while all the people close to us are trying to survive
Will all the pear and apple trees - start bloom again this year
or do they let it be ’cause they can also feel the fear?

How can we carry on - when everything goes wrong?
how can we worry in the morning - when our shower goes not warm?
when all the brave ones stay behind - defend our liberty and life
We just watch swooning and afraid - without rushing to their aid. 

N O W - i swallow my fears - inside myself
W I P E - away all my tears from my face
B U R Y my anger - and this indescribable swoon
I summon all my courage - so that peace can return

Let light - get back into your eyes
Let love - return to your heart
Let trust - retrieve to your soul
But do not let his lies near you - better "Put-In"-To a deep burning hole 

Keep them away from us
Make him clear that we don’t trust
These words that seemed spoken by insane
We stand together, cause we all want the same

Lets send a Herald to proclaim the peace in the world - we all are united
Lets spread the news and the truth. And let our thoughts unfurled - we all have the power
Roundup your sheeps and wolves back home to the flock
Your hate will never win a war against us
united and in love It’s time for you to see - Who has the power

Oli Boli - Dear W.P.

Dear W.P. - We have the Power

Put In'Sane' In A Deep Burning Hole. - (We have the Power)

The first of a selection of re-imagined versions of our songs.
This is a version of 'No One's School', the opening track from our 4th Album 'A Story of Your Broken Hearts'.

LYRICS:

We carried the flame
We waited our whole lives to light the colorful night
And we narrowly came so close to swords and knives
To fight the gullible fight

You copied a name you overheard in class
You thought that it made you sound cool
And you acted the same to everyone who asked your reasons for acting the fool

We cut our teeth in no one’s school, they never got to pull us under
We follow people’s orders who we idolize until we grow older

No One's School [reunion]

Grateful To My Maker

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home for around 23 years and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!
