Rhythm of the Night

This song has had a facelift, I originally wrote it back in 2001, then I rewrote parts of it in 2020 during the pandemic, then I recently touched it up a bit and produced a video for it. It's a little weird but I tried to convey the feeling when you're starting to lose your mind and life becomes harder and harder to deal with, it's a bit Grungy. I had to edit it down because it was like 6 minutes long! If you watch the video when I post it on YouTube, it will all become clear! It's a bit disturbing so listen with an open mind! This is not for everybody, I've had this buried for like over 20 years. This audio is from the video that's why it's so noisy.

“DON’T KNOW WHAT?”

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND?
ON THE VERGE AND BORDERLINE,
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL WORTH GOING THROUGH?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?             
      
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO SAY?
NOTHING'S WRONG I'M OKAY, 
DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THIS FUSS IS ABOUT? 
I'LL WORK IT OUT,

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
I'M SEEING THINGS I AIN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE,
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE,
INTO SOMEONE I DON'T WANT TO BE?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
         
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY HEAD?
SUICIDAL THEY ALL SAID, 
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY BRAIN?
CAN'T STAND THE PAIN,

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE?
GETTIN' HIGH MAKES IT ALL RIGHT,       
DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO LIVE OR DIE?
CAN'T STAND THE LIES,
          
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
I'M SEEING THINGS I AIN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE,
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE,
INTO SOMEONE I DON'T WANT TO BE?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?  
  
DON’T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND?
ON THE VERGE AND BORDERLINE,
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL WORTH GOING THROUGH?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?

SPUTNIK ALIVE - OESJ ft. Katja E.

Sixty years ago, mankind's space adventure began.
Happy birthday, SPUTNIK!

When this song came to my ears as a first playback I knew that I only could add acoustic guitar to it. First, to keep it's sensitive feel, second to add a kind of acoustic contrast to the electronic set on it ... So what you hear now has developed over several transitions. I have already worked earlier with Katja, a classical and pop singer, so we asked her if she could imagine to write lyrics and sing on the song. The demo originally was titled 'sputnik'. Quite often Katja keeps the first impulse, studies the background and then she unfolds a story around the topic very well. It was a honor to work with her in this song. 
The composition and complete processing of this song was done by Ralf Wadephul, years back playing keyboards in the famous electronic group 'Tangerine Dream', so this song got it's fantastic sound from his production skills.
The Drums and Grooves were contributed by Peter Pasch, a well known studio drummer in the Berlin music scene. Ralf and Peter, both form the group OESJ.
I hope you enjoy this little tune as much as I do!

Sputnik Alive (Lyrics by Katja Ebert)

You were the first
To make the way
From the dust
To the stars

Ten brothers
Followed the same trail
Made us dream
Of moon and mars

You defied gravity
Followed by so many

Long gone, but never quite forgotten
Your dream lives on beyond the clouds
Are you still alive? Are you still alive?
Companion?

A tile of life
And of death
Of sacrifice
And of hope.

Everything else
Was meaningless
But reaching for
the stars above

You defied gravity
Followed by so many

Long gone, but never quite forgotten
Your dream lives on beyond the clouds
Are you still alive? Are you still alive?
Companion?
Companion?
