October Rain

October Rain (Planes / Sotomayor )

There is good and evil in each of us. We see this every day, looking inside ourselves, into our heart, into our soul, into our inner mirrors. Sometimes we see good there, but sometimes evil.  I want to dedicate this track to all the good people who gave their lives in this eternal war. In a sense, this track is a requiem for the passing World, as I knew it.

Inner Mirrors

Gettin' up in the morning to the same old songs
and the moon's still up cause we beat the sun
better turn it all on just to make it
through another long one.

But it's never as bad as it could've been
though it could be better than it always seems.
So we do it for each other
it makes it a little better.

And we once were blind but we now can see
the way the world works and how it ever came to be
beautiful and ugly
yet there's room for one another.

So turn the noise off step outside and look up high
at the stars we all see in the same old sky.
They can't be hiding the truth
and we share them with each other.

I know the world's not perfect and it never was
and the wheel keeps turning like it always does.
Turns forward just a little faster
than it turned out last year.

Now we make the best of every turn we've got
and we won't quit livin' till the big wheel stops.
Gotta keep it goin' baby
just live a little longer.

Just Step Outside

It's been a while since eddyoffline and I did a collab.  Mostly because he's always offline.  This one finally came together though.  I have never really played Reggae before and it shows. Thanks to eddy for sending me this track.  He plays an awesome bass in this as well as a solid rhythm guitar to hold things together.

Reggae-ish

A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a  pleasure to collab.

Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him.

Mimetic Desire

Man is the creature
Man is the creature

„Man is the creature
Who does not know
What to desire,
And he turns to others
In order to make up his mind.“ (2)

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Mimetic desires

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere
A shadow of a hope ?

Let me have it, let me, let me have it
Let me have it, let me, let me have it

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Sparkling, mimetic desires

„We desire 
What others desire
Because we imitate 
Their desires."

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out
A shadow of a hope ?

Man is the creature…
Man is the creature…

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don't let the blindness guide you
Don’t let the darkness blind you…

Mimetic Desire (ft joerxworx)

I made this song while the time of pandemic. This is a kind of requiem…believing in the spirit

Lyrics
Maybe I just want to see
When we’re together along
Still my eyeing keep on always

How I save your life?
There's oceans lie to see
I will be waiting for...
Couldn’t save your life

Horizon far away stands before me
Dreaming on about down befalling
Closing my eyes in too darkness
What do you see? because I cant tell you how…
 I know we won’t cry
 I heard your voice with no sound

——————————————————————
Maybe I just want to see you again
When we’re together along
Still my eyeing keep on always

How I save your life?
There's oceans lie to see
I will be waiting for...
Couldn’t save your life

Horizon far away stands before me
Dreaming on about down befalling
Closing my eyes in too darkness
What do you see? because I cant tell you how…
 I know we won’t cry
 I heard your voice with no sound
So it tears me upside down
 I heard your voice is no sound

This track is the typical guy waking up in the morning not knowing where he is and fears the retribution when he gets home.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Laying here ‘till morning when the sun comes up
Laying with my face down in the dusty ground
Feeling so hung over on the verge of breakup
I need one more drink. Let’s have another whip round

Verse 2
Cold emotion sems to play us a game
Who am I to criticise and who am I to blame
Here am I where my heart burns so hot
I’m losing my mind. I’m losing the plot

Middle 8
I need a little comfort to keep my heart warm
I need another drink to face the fire storm
‘cause when I come home, the levee will break
The ground will move and the house will shake

Verse 3
I thought about work, but it seems such a chore
Look at the neighbour who’s living next door
Rises at dawn with curtains still drawn
I close my eyes and try to ignore

Verse 4 
I’ll lay down my heart now and lay down my soul
I’m better off living without job control
No cent to my name. Life’s just a card game
We all end up in a six foot hole.

Lyrics:

Where have I gone
What is left unsaid
What have I left behind
every time I closed my eyes

Everything is new
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more
Nothing was left behind
I swear
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side

I’ll let it all go
All the doubt and fear
the pain I kept inside
it wasn’t worth the time

What I thought I wanted
What I thought I lost
None of it ever
materialized

What I thought I knew
just a passing phase
I’ll let it all go
It wasn’t worth the time

Everything is new
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more
Nothing was left behind
I swear
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side
Everything is new by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more Nothing was left behind 
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
