Mixed for Blank Shell Shutter

"A.L.E.X." is a pop ballad about a young man choosing the wrong path of life. The title is both a name and an acronym standing for "all lies excused with ecstasy", though ecstasy is a pars pro toto image. Written in my teenage years, this song has a special meaning to me, because its songwriting, arrangement and instrumentation was years ahead of my knowledge and capabilities. I had to grow up first to understand the real meaning of the lyrics. It's not a song about drug abuse. It's a song about self-rejection, pretending a better self and ending in a desaster. After 15 years of hard work, we were able to finish this song even better than expected. I'd like to thank everybody for taking this unbelieveable journey with me and turning my draft into a gemstone.

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ====

You were such a shy guy
but I can't keep watching you cry
I'm the only one who knows your truth
and the minds that you bemused

Narrator of so many lies
In fear of dropping your disguise 
cause you look like your ego who died

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years
where you've been rejected 

You were such a silly boy
but they treated you like a toy
This was the reason for your weakness
shammed coolness turned to bleakness

Narrator of a broken dream
Your hope is vanishing like steam
See your blue eyes turning dark and grey

All lies excused with ecstasy
There's more in life than you have seen
Why have you stabbed the one you've been

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years 
where you've been rejected

Still drowning in despair
waiting for someone to care
I said that you’d believe in you 
but you surrender

A.L.E.X
Why don't you leave your lies
release yourself from your disguise
There are so many things that
you can do without

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X
All lies excused with ecstasy
life needn't be a misery

Going My Way

A.L.E.X.

Variation on a Theme by Sanshu Seiso - First Part of Triptych

The magnificent work of Sanshu Seiso, from which this variation was directly and slavishly derived, is here: https://soundcloud.com/sanshu-seiso/y-brume 

I am most grateful to Sanshu Seiso, for graciously allowing me to attempt variations....entirely inspired by his masterpiece. If there be any merit in this piece, full credit is due to Sanshu Seiso. Mistakes, on the other hand, are mine alone.

First Variation On 'Y-Brume' By Sanshu Seiso

............ based on acoustic guitar, lot of EWI solos - all my own stuff :-)
Measured against all the work, it's nothing special - but maybe useful for daily use :-D Of course, I've listened to it so often now that I almost don't like it any more, but no wonder - some pieces can really get you down, like driving a car in a traffic jam every day. So take it easy ! ... photo: ahundt on pixabay

Conform to the concept of an eternal love & this infinite wait
If you in fact know of the purity of love then it is never too late
Were you not consumed by the words of the Invisible Flame
By the truth of loves sorrow & the girl who called my name

Beside me breathing in the ocean air responding to my embrace
So you took on the persona of who you really are as I kissed your face
Everything inside you was at peace as the Invisible Flame spoke
This road goes on forever but who was it who left this heart broke

Lyrics

Santa is coming and
I dont know how long i can hold
Santa is coming and
I dont know where I can hide
Santa is coming and
I cant find my gun
Santa is coming and
he'll put me in line


Gone shopping - thats the spirit
I feel it - We all feel it

Gone shopping - you still have credit
and you feel it - We all feel it

Gone shopping - thats the spirit
you still have credit - We all know it

Gone shopping...


Santa is coming...

EVerybody has them 
everybody needs them
got to buy them all 
Buy until you die
You deserve them all
Dont need no money
Just give us your soul

This one is red 
old is blue
New one is better 
the old is shit
buy it buy it buy it 
Buy Buy Buy BUy BUY
---

Santa in his golden mercedes
Filled with twerking laydies 
Big fat smile

Got pockets full of everything but holes
greasy palms and a 
Big fat smile

Grabbing anything anyone
Finished his bottle and rudolf 
He got the moolah

Rudolf with his red nose 
knows better than to mess with mama Claus
from now on

Gone Shopping
