I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Puedo Escribir" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S. Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda.

Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda and artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists:

Puedo Escribir (Letras de Pablo Neruda)

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Escribir por ejemplo: “La noche está estrellada, 
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos.”

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.

Oir la noche inmensa, más inmensa sin ella.
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Tonight I Can Write (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda)

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, “The night is starry 
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.”

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

This is all. In the distance, someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Lyrics:

OMGG — What Is Love Now: OMGG Edition-XT Loudness RMX (XTBass in making...)

We were not
Supposed to end up
In this
Un ess
Un ess
Un ess
Unescapable rut
It’s our lot
We get sent up
In this
Un ess
Un ess
Un ess
Unescapable rut

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

Aspirationooonnnnns 
Aspirate my choking lungs 
Never done 
Never done
Never done 
Anything worth 
A song that’s sung

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

[Bridge] 
It’s tough
You can’t apologise enough 
This stuff
Love is the only buzz
Head fuzz
Take me to the edge 
And give me a nudge 

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

You don’t find happiness 
In the search for 
More or less
More or less
More or less 
Be grateful for 
What you find
Right there 
Right there 
Right there 
At the back of your mind 

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

Amazing (2009) Lost Tracks

Industrial 2

Another old and simple lyrics I did awhile back :P


Lightin' a cig in the rain
I am the wind
It's all a matter of timing
Your destiny's not a sin

And my soundtrack
The rain on my skin
The song of the earth
My melody
Soundtrack
It plays in reverse
All my life
My song is me

Over the rooftops we fly
We hear the sound
Of our song
Come alive
The heartbeat
Of the underground

And my soundtrack
The rain on my skin
The song of the earth
My melody
Soundtrack
It plays in reverse
All my life
My song is me

And my soundtrack
The rain on my skin
The song of the earth
My melody
Soundtrack
It plays in reverse
All my life
My song 

What's my purpose
A legacy and destiny to hold
As I listen to my symphony
As my tears start to flow
One life
One life to live
One life to grow
As I try to learn
And listen to what I know

I just know

My soundtrack
The rain on my skin
The song of the earth
My melody
Soundtrack
It plays in reverse
All my life
My song is me

Do you hear it
Do you hear my rhythm
Do you hear my symphony
The song of me
(My song is me)
One life
One life to live
(My soundtrack)
One life to grow
(My soundtrack)
One life to learn
(My soundtrack)
One life to listen
(My soundtrack)
One life to know

From One Shore To Another - My New Life

Specialized in working on projects with real orchestras, I have more than 20 years of experience.

I have worked on film scores for many international productions, including the Golden Globe 2024 nominee Suzume, Star Wars Visions, Save Angel Hope, Tell, A War Within, and Liebling, lass uns scheiden. I co-composed the multi-award-winning musical Dällebach Kari, (co-)arranged the hit shows The One and Vivid at Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin, and worked on highly successful game music scores such as Batman – Arkham Shadow, Lineage W, Anno 1404, Black Prophecy, and Halo Legends. My scores for Treasure Trackers, Hero and A Father’s Job have won several awards around the world.

Besides my work in media, I also write music for several international artists, including Chaka Khan, Anastacia, Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating, Bonnie Tyler, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the London Symphony Orchestra, and others. I won a Golden Record for my arrangements for Alex Christensen.

I hold a diploma in composition, arrangement, and piano from the music university in Dresden, Germany.
