Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

Alpha Roots, Jamie R, Jonathan B, Joerxworx, Russ & the Couch King - Somnambulist Break In

Similar to R I.P.  A bit of fun with a Dylanesque type blues.

A Little While

Emilio, https://soundcloud.com/stranger-something and https://soundcloud.com/olla-de-insomnio , sent me this wonderful instrumental with the hint that „…at some point it had occurred to me that it would be called "When I see you“…“ 
I had a lot of fun writing and singing along to it. 
A Big Thank You for the great music, mixing and mastering and also artwork. It was an honour and a great pleasure...

When I See You

1
When i see you
I could almost puke
When I see you
A strange shudder goes through and through 
When I See You
My head turns bloodred
While the world shifts in two halves
None of them would last
Without the other one…

2
When i see you
And that happens now and then again
It’s too uneasy to explain

My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look at the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart, that pound
And am all agitated

I avoid all pictures of you
Try not to think about it too much
Close my inner eye, too…

3
When i see you
And that happens now and then again
Oh, it’s so uneasy to explain

My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look on the ground
My breathing gallops 
And then my heart that pounds… ahh…

solo

4
You never talk to me
No reaction you show
Just stand somewhere off silently, 
Peripheral,
In the background
Wthout a sound

How can I see what is not there ?
How can I remind what never took place ?
How can I feel that i was close to you,
Even if that was unreal ?

And if I’d see you
As a monster,
As a hypocrate,
As a drama queen ?
And if i’d see you
As a mirror image,
As a saviour,
As a lover … ?

out
When I see you
Oh, when i see you
It’s so uneasy to explain
It’s too uneasy to explain…

When do I see you ?
When will i see you ?
When will i see you again ?
Ohh

When I See You (wt Stranger Something)

This is a song for anyone who has ever lost someone they were taking care of. 

Hospital

I saw the knife
And I pulled it out
The side
Her blood was cold
But I fixed what 
I could find
When I laid down
Someone else was
Next in line

This on and on
Has me falling
Every time

Fall into the places
You forgot before
Dare to lose
Everything you’ve
Held on for
You will fear
What isn't really
Here anymore
Isn't here anymore
Isn't here anymore 

She was a mom
Who worked many
Jobs and times
She only saw 
Her little ones
Asleep at night
She was too kind
That's why they
Die every time

This on and on
Has me falling
Every time

Fall into the places
You forgot before
Dare to lose
Everything you’ve
Held on for
You will fear
What isn't really
Here anymore
Isn't here anymore
Isn't here anymore

Bless this truth
in every shade
That’s mine alone
To make the braid
That twists around
This tired nape
And to the dark that
Knows my face
Into the dark
That knows
I’m game
To take a leap
Against the grain
To fall unseen
For lives in pain
To stand between
Your life in vain

So I sit
Listening to every word
As we have shared
Every burden 
Once returned
I fall into places
I forgot before
See you there
When we meet
Beyond the door

Give in

Are you awake?
It doesn’t matter anyway
I pull the brake
It’s neither Monday nor the lord’s day

Pretty little thoughts
Surrounded by knots
Bombshells and fears 
Crowded people that cheers
Is it time to give in?
Watch the others spin?

I think you’re awake
Does it all make sense?
I think we release the brake
It’s for our own defence
I have no faith in the politics
Nevermind, it was a joke
But I’m afraid of the reaper
And I think we’re broke

Give in

Dream

Claudie is wondering

Just trying to find the way back down from the ceiling (Violet Mix)

My cover of "Twilight Time" by The Platters, my favorite band

Twilight Time

Threading Light is a meditative ambient piece created for grounding, energy flow, and quiet reflection. With spacious tones and gentle textures, it supports yoga, reiki, energy healing, meditation, or unwinding after a long day.

Lyrics

We thread the light, my love
across years, eyes, lifetimes unseen.
Your voice called me home before I had a name.
The menagerie of our lives confound

The bodies that hold us may be cold and bare
But soul recognition makes us self aware
Humanity is but a memory
Oh, the insanity of it all...yet our flames remember before the fall.

Threading Light

Searching for the tune that will end this obsession. 
Pronounced "doop".
