Second take on songwriting, it is just about my musical background

Aikio

Never Stop Rock'n'Roll, Aikio Original - 2008

The only thing I do not have to learn from the beginning is singing.  What could be easier than two accord song with no guitar solos?
But McCartney has something for you, bass line to start with.
Simplify , check.
Vocal harmonics. Simplify, check. 
Lot's of early Studio wizardry, ADT anyone? 
Challenge accepted.

Aikio 2021

Paperback Writer, Beatles Cover - 2021

I just love this song and wanted to give it a go. I should have slowed this a bit, but hey, mistakes are part of learning process.

Twenty Flight Rock, Eddie Cochran Cover - 2021

This round I'm sharing a song from my revival project.  It is a simple folk song that I wrote when I was quite young.  Hope you like the upbeat mood here.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Thinking of those foolish days					
In a while all pass away					
Should wake up now and face the day					
I've been living in a dream					
					
Still a long way to go					
Many things I have to know					
Chances keep on swaying to and fro					
Wonder if I could get hold					
								
See the morning sun					
It's a sign that a new day has just begun					
Future is ahead of me					
All the best in living memory	

Everything is going fine					
Light of life will always shine					
Leaving uncertainties behind					
Passions are filling up my mind					
									
See the morning sun					
It's a sign that a new day has just begun					
Future is ahead of me					
All the best in living memory

Cliff Burton was the best bassist ever, to me... RIP :'(

Who knows what the music would look like, today, if this fucked up damn September of '86 night didn't happen this way?!?

---------
Lyrics:
---------

September night, under the stars,
Deadly event deeply scarred our hearts.
Whole metal world has been blackened,
When your blood was spread, it was too late, too late!

Fucked up damn night!

September night, on a frozen road,
Hidden hazard and now you're gone.
You were the band's main motor breath,
But you've been hit by a creeping death.

Fucked up damn night!

September night, has been so sad,
Thinking about this still drives me mad.
Fear within must have hit the lights,
But even that young, to live is to die.

Fucked up damn night!

September night, wish never was,
So you could be still slapping your bass.
You probably pulled the shortest straw,
But now we've got the four horsemen no more.

Fucked up damn night!

September night, after the stage,
Game was over with this ace of spades.
Wish so hard you didn't fade to black,
But rather just went to hell and back.

On this September night...
On this fucking night!

September Night

Introduction in English:
Sometimes there are situations in life to which there are no solutions at all. You may have already done and tried everything. Nothing has helped. 
The "doer" and "controller" in me goes to its knees in such moments. And out comes the part that surrenders completely to hope. Then in a kind of prayer to his inner God and in his inner church at least asks for an alleviation of suffering for all those where all rational or scientific techniques and methods have reached their limits.
This song is about such a kind of "hope prayer"

Introduction in German:
Manchmal gibt es Situationen im Leben, zu denen es keinerlei Problemlösungen gibt. Man hat vielleicht alles schon unternommen und versucht. Nichts hat geholfen. 
Der "Macher" und "Kontrolleur" in mir geht in solchen Momenten in die Knie. Und hervorkommt der Teil, der sich ganz der Hoffnung hingibt. Dann in einer Art Gebet an seinen inneren Gott und in seiner inneren Kirche zumindest um eine Linderung des Leids für all jene bittet, bei denen alle rationalen oder wissenschaftlichen Techniken und Methoden an ihre Grenzen gestoßen. 
Von so einer Art "Hoffnungsgebet" handelt dieses Lied

Lyrics

Prayer of hope

I can only pray for you
For you to my inner God

for you I go to my own church 
sit down in the back pew

hear the organ man playing above me
floods the room with his smooth-painful sound

sometime humbly sit on my knees
go inwardly along your life

and I pray that you survive this all
that you will return to the world
I pray for your deep soul peace

I speak, cry, whisper, sing
For you 
a prayer of hope

I light a candle for you
The glow shows me, you are still there
Walk wistfully through many cloisters 
feel the cross that you have to wear

hear the murmur of the unhappy dead, 
the wailing of the damned from the dark underworld
how can I snatch you away from being cursed
my beloved, wounded, tragic hero

A Prayer of Hope

A Prayer Of Hope

Introduction in English:
For me it was a big challenge in two ways to do the music to the lyrics of P-Ten, who lives in the Philippines:
First, he is the age of my son, who some of my SC friends know went through a serious crisis in the spring from which he has not really recovered yet. P-Ten obviously has something that my son still lacks at his young age: A belief in himself, in his own dreams and visions. While singing, I kept imagining that P-Ten was speaking to my son like a good friend of the same age, helping him to overcome his tormenting self-doubt. 
Secondly, P-Ten's lyrics also repeatedly mention the belief in God. I don't know P-Ten personally, so I don't know which God he is referring to in his text. 
I myself am not religious or feel to belong to a certain religious community. But, as I have already described it in my song "A Prayer of Hope", there exists for me a kind of "inner God" who goes far beyond me and holds the world together in the innermost; to whom I sometimes turn when my belief in myself falters and self-doubt plagues me. Then I can experience, among other things, in the dialogue with him, that I am not alone, that this inner God believes in me, carries me and holds me, no matter what happens.      

Introduction in German:

Für mich war es in zweierlei Hinsicht eine große Herausforderung, zu dem Text von P-Ten, der auf den Philippinen lebt, die Musik zu machen:
Erstens ist er im Alter meines Sohnes, von dem einige meiner SC-Freunde wissen, dass er im Frühjahr eine schwere Krise durchmachte, von der er sich bis jetzt noch nicht wirklich erholt hat. P-Ten hat offensichtlich etwas, was meinem Sohn in seinem jungen Alter noch fehlt: Der Glaube an sich, an die eigenen Träume und Visionen. Beim Singen habe ich immer wieder vorgestellt, das P-Ten wie ein guter, gleichaltriger Freund zu meinem Sohn spricht und ihm hilft, seine quälenden Selbstzweifel zu überwinden. 
Zweitens kommt in dem Text von P-Ten auch immer wieder der Glaube an Gott vor. Ich kenn P-Ten nicht persönlich und ich weiß entsprechend auch nicht, welchen Gott er in seinem Text meint. 
Ich selbst bin nicht religiös oder fühle mich einer bestimmten Glaubensgemeinschaft zugehörig. Aber, wie ich es schon bei meinem Song "A Prayer of Hope" beschrieben habe, existiert für mich eine Art "innerer Gott", der weit über mich hinausgeht und die Welt im innersten zusammenhält; an den ich mich manchmal wende, wenn mein Glauben an mich ins Wanken gerät und mich Selbstzweifel plagen. Dann kann ich unter anderem in der Zwiesprache mit ihm erfahren, das ich nicht allein bin, dass dieser innere Gott an mich glaubt, mich trägt und hält, egal was passiert.

As you make your way through this today  the questions come but you still cant say  how did you get so far from where you were going   way back then   now you
Do what you're told you do what they say   you're just a robot  nothing to say  when will i get to see the things I've been looking for

and its got you Wondering
Did you lose that guiding light along the way  did you find yourself just searching  for a brand new place  where you could just   be   yourself

and every time  I look I cant find a way  I'm stuck right here just doing this every day  its takin me where I don't care 
any more  where i go  but i know  its just a way to not feel this today  I wanna go where i can build something that stays  
and make this into something more   and its got you Wondering

Did you lose that guiding light along the way  did you find yourself just searching  for a brand new place  where you could just   be   yourself

I feel you there and it makes me wanna be  be something more and find that part of me   I feel you there and it makes me wanna be   be something

and every time  i look i cant find a way  i'm stuck right here just doing this every day  its taking me where i don't care any more    where i go  but i know  its just a way to not feel this today  i wanna go where i can build something that stays  
and takes me from all this   and its got you Wondering

Did you lose that guiding light along the way  did you find yourself just searching  for a brand new place  where you could just be   and its got you Wondering
Did you lose that guiding light along the way  did you find yourself just searching  for a brand new place  where you could just be?

GUIDING LIGHT

Life is Music, that's a sure thing!

I'm a self-taught musician, a Metallica fan, heavy sounds lover, but I nevertheless enjoy most styles of music...

I play guitar and bass, I like to compose some stuff on my free time, enjoy lingering around and discover new sounds... and collaborate with artists all around the globe to have even more fun!!
 :o)

Please go ahead and tell me what -good or bad- you think about my music, it's always constructive!
 :)
