Allegretto-Adagio in C for Orchestra, no. 77

‘On Track’ is the seventh Grey Hounds studio quality song to be released, this one addresses the struggle to keep one’s life moving in the right direction. There’s always something, or someone who’s trying to distract and derail the plan.

Here’s a movie of it at gig:

On Track

We walked tonight to the Guggenheim Museum
Her hair was blowing like it found its freedom
The city shimmered a restless backdrop
We talked of dreams we had and dreams we’d lost

She touched the glass where the paintings hung
Said, “Look how they capture the light, so young”
I saw a reflection that I couldn’t hold
A moment gone as the wind turned cold

Caught in the glow of a fleeting view
City lights blurred like dreams we outgrew
We’re drifting through moments we can’t reclaim
Like strangers with stories no need for names

Through the spiral halls we drifted slow
Each step we took felt like letting go
She whispered stories I’d never known
Of places she'd seen and the nights alone

Outside the doors the world was wide
Yellow cabs and the Hudson tide
She laughed like a child at the rush of it all
I watched her dance through the city's sprawl

She talked of staying of leaving too
The streets below us were painted blue
With echoes of footsteps and songs unsung
In that fleeting light we were both still young

Caught in the glow of a fleeting view
City lights blurred like dreams we outgrew
We’re drifting through moments we can’t reclaim
Like strangers with stories no need for names

(FR) Ave Verum est un motet à quatre voix dans une écriture harmonique épurée, sans contrepoint, où chaque voix avance à l’unisson du souffle commun...un seul corps. Inspiré du texte sacré attribué à Innocent VI et légèrement modifié par Mozart, ce morceau cherche à évoquer la paix, la lumière intérieure, et la beauté fragile du chant humain… même lorsqu’il est synthétique.
(EN) Ave Verum is a four-part motet written in a pure harmonic style, without counterpoint, where each voice moves with the unity of a shared breath… a single body.
Inspired by the sacred text attributed to Innocent VI and subtly adapted by Mozart, this piece seeks to evoke peace, inner light, and the fragile beauty of the human voice… even when it is synthetic.

1~
In a world of noise, we shape the sound
Every word, is a twist, a turn around
Echoes dance in electric threads
Jazz meets rock, where the current spreads

What stories do we weave tonight?
In the rhythm, let’s take flight.

2~
It's a curious thought, a fleeting glance
The world goes fast, I want to dance
An echo of dreams, a timeless trance
Don't you feel this chance?

We’re dancing shadows under neon lights
In this vibrant world, we chase the heights.

3~
In a world where chaos reigns, I speak,
Words stumble like shadows, yet I seek,
The rhythms of life, in jazz and rock,
Echo truths, ticking like a clock.

So tell me the story, let it unfold,
In eclectic whispers, let the truth be told.

4~
In the twilight, echoes of a tale unfurl
Words weave like shadows in this swirling world
Byte-sized thoughts dance on the edge of time
A canvas painted with rhythm, so sublime

Listen close, a story speaks anew
In the silence, find the truth of you

5~
Whispers sing as they play
t'was of that day, lost in notes that sway - that sway
Voices supple as they sing
Dreams will run away like children's shadows play
Let the night embrace....embrace
All the hearts in space...in space

6~
In a world so vast voices blend and shimmer
with echoes of the past
feel the light grow dimmer

Words float like whispers
IN THE TWILIGHTS EMBRACE !

The morning sunrise brings a light to my eyes
Chases all the shadows from
The corners of my mind

Good things come to those who wait
Wait a minute, I’m hanging up the phone
I’m hanging up

My evening drive stuck in a line going nowhere
Feel frustrated, hoping I might 
Make up some lost time

You say what’s good for you is good for me
But that aint good for me

The day just drags on
How can hours be so long?
Time just moves so slow when I’d rather be somewhere

Make You Wait

Still Surfing (Part 2)

the other day my wife carina (cover pic from early 80s of a party-filled stay with friends somewhere in denmark) asked me why I didn't publish something positive again, something just uplifting without dramatic depth. otherwise, people might think I'm a gloomy sceptic, a notorious nihilist and a pessimistic misanthrope, which personally wouldn't bother me that massively;-)

but of course, she's right, and always being a sourpuss gets boring. so, the album ‘retrospective future’ which was originally intended to be a trilogy is now getting a fourth track: a song originally titled “was ist das her?”, which I wrote around 20 years ago with duet voices in my head – at a time when I thought the previous 20 years were an incredibly long time. interestingly, from today's perspective, I feel no significant difference between 20 and 40 years. however, it's a look back not with a tear in my eye but with a smile in my heart. 

tech: the only way to translate the lyrics so that they still fit the composition, and, above all, the original vocal rhythm was to paraphrase some phrases. I hope all native english speakers will forgive me for any mistakes. 

drilling the rhythm of singing with its pauses and emphases into the AI was surprisingly elaborate, despite the uploaded template. for something called 'intelligence', the machine is still incredibly stupid.

but all the work was worth it because the result is very close to my vision. even if it remains a digitally simulated sketch.

all that remains is to wish you all a wonderful weekend, and to send our deepest love to our dearest friends gary and terry, who are going through a really difficult time. you are the best – and always in our hearts!

After Party we still were dancing
While the night went off we never stopped
As the sunrise hit our faces
And we felt the world was ours on top

We were running, were rushing all night
Laughing loud like nothing could go wrong 
Every heartbeat felt like a star flight
And we wrote our dreams into the dawn 

So long ago, but we still know
The way those nights could heal us so
A distant light, a fading glow
Yet in our hearts it won’t let go

All our worries drifted away, hey 
We were floating high above the ground
Every moment a holiday, yay
And nothing held us, nothing tied us down

We had sworn that we'd never land, and
We'd keep dancing never asking why,
Dreams for living and life for dreaming
Too young to fall, just made to fly 

So long ago, but we still know
The way those nights could heal us so
A distant light, a fading glow
Yet in our hearts it won’t let go

So long ago, but we still hear
The quiet songs that led us near
A sweeter time, untouched by fear
Still echoing though none stay here 

So long, Ago

So long ago

I love writing original music. I can't always predict how a song will turn out but I write what I hear and simply hope it pleases ears.
