Late September Heart is a quiet story of almosts — the words not said, the looks held a second too long, the song left hanging in the air. Set against a backdrop of worn leather booths and late-night jukebox hum, this track leans into a slow-burning country-blues feel. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t raise its voice, but lingers like smoke — steady, honest, and full of the things we don’t say. For nights when something stirs, even in silence. For what almost was.

Late September Heart erzählt leise von allem, was fast passiert wäre – Worte, die in der Kehle stecken bleiben, Blicke, die zu lange halten, ein Song, der in der Luft hängen bleibt. Der Sound: rau und warm, wie eine Jukebox in einem Diner kurz vor Feierabend. Country-Blues in seiner stillsten Form – ehrlich, zurückgenommen, und voller unausgesprochener Dinge. Für Nächte, in denen etwas bleibt. Auch wenn nichts geschieht.

Late September Heart

どうか
想い届けと　風をあつめて
祈る　ゆびさき

どこか
帰る場所など　有るが如くの
急ぐ　あしおと

命があるか　ないかの
二色で塗られた景色だけ
吹き荒れて　佇んで
暗闇ですら　ない

自分のような　何かが
自分の姿で演じてる　そして
泣きぬれて　狼狽えて
こっちを覗いてる

ひとり
灯る街灯に　寒くないかと
憂う　ゆうぐれ

いつか
閉じる扉など　有るが如くの
急ぐ　ひとなみ

命があるか　ないかの
二色で塗られた景色だけ
吹き荒れて　佇んで
暗闇ですら　ない

自分のような　愚かな
自分の姿を忘れてる者が
泣きぬれて　狼狽えて
こっちを覗いてる

街灯 / street light

I wrote this story for an old friend in my hometown who dedicated his life to Rock´n Roll, lived thru all the ups and downs  and never regretted the decision he  had made when he was very young.
I am really grateful for the collab with Mikey Falls  @MyKingFalls Collective g who did a great job creating a catchy Rocksong ("working his magic on it!") with extraordinary vocals and vocal performance , a great hookmelody (right from the start!) and an impressive backing punch. 
I hope you enjoy this track as much as I do. Play it loud or use headphones. ´Yes, it is late Seventies Rocktime !

Life For Rock´n Roll

Born in a place kind of middle class home
Working class quarter but pretty unknown
He grew up on music of his alltime icons
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks and The Stones

He got gripped by music when he entered the scene
Played in clubs when he turned fifteen
It didn´t take long to get famous in town
A musical rebel with a sensitive soul

He lived for his passion and Rock&Roll

Just playing his music, never went with the flow
He followed his dream , he was ready to go
For the good, the bad and the dirty deeds
The price for that all had to be paid on the streets

A musical rebel with a sensitive soul
A fighter for passion and Rock&Roll

In the old days he was hungry, his brain so wired
He wasn´t so much older as he was tired
Found him drunk on the day he hit the ground
And the cold winter rain was pouring down

A musical rebel aiming higher for more
But he gets back up when he hits the floor

A musical rebel with a sensitive soul
He lived for his passion and Rock&Roll

Life For Rock'n Roll

A fusion track combining blues, rock, and soul. This extended version features a long electric guitar solo. I hope you like it!

Temptation (extended)

Woke up to a sky of grey
Another fight another day
Chasing shadows losing ground
Life's a wheel it spins around

Clock hands ticking loud and clear
Every second whispers fear
Dreams are heavy they won't fly
Pressure's building makes me cry

Pressures of life .mp3

Verse 1
You came rollin’ in like a thunderstorm
Steel and sparks, heat and form
Didn’t see it comin’, didn’t plan this part
But you’re a freight train drivin’ through my heart
A hundred miles long from the end to the start
No brakes, no warning, just tearin’ me apart

Chorus
You’re like a freight train drivin’ through my soul
Can’t stop the fire once it starts to roll
I’m standin’ here, can’t get outta the way
Your love runs deep, like a heavy-laden freight
No end in sight, no slowin’ down
You light me up, then shake the ground

Verse 2
I stood on the tracks, couldn't step aside
Your love hit hard, no place to hide
Carried every feelin’ I’d locked away
Now it’s boxcars full, and they’re here to stay
Too late to run, too deep to fake
I feel it all with every shake

Chorus
You’re like a freight train drivin’ through my soul
Can’t stop the fire once it starts to roll
I’m standin’ here, can’t get outta the way
Your love runs deep, like a heavy-laden freight
No end in sight, no slowin’ down
You light me up, then shake the ground

Verse 3
But somewhere down this rusted line
Your train begins to slow in time
Now I see the light, the end station sign
Where maybe your heart can meet with mine
Unload the weight we’ve both held tight
And let love breathe in morning light

Bridge
You’re too strong to stop, too loud to ignore
But maybe this freight train was worth waitin’ for
Every beat, every mile, every heavy load
Brought us here — to love's final road

Final Chorus
You’re like a freight train drivin’ through my soul
Can’t stop the fire once it starts to roll
I’m standin’ here, can’t get outta the way
Your love runs deep, like a heavy-laden freight
No end in sight, no slowin’ down
But now we’re here — and I ain’t turnin’ ‘round


Freight train through my soul

I wrote this after driving those bridges from Bayou Chico to Safety Harbor — that's where the gulf began... 

You say you love me — but sometimes you don’t
You hold me close, then drift like smoke
I gave you time, I gave you space
But I never gave up hope

I asked for the promise part of love
Not just the parts that feel good now
But you were never one for staying
And I forgot to ask how

We weren’t cruel, just rooted
In dreams we didn’t share
You with dirt roads and open skies
Me with salt hung in the air

My uncle up in Milton
Said I could stay a while
He poured some coffee, didn’t ask
Just gave a tired smile

He knew I’d left Ohio
Could tell it didn’t sit right
He said some roads just end in water
Others vanish in the night

That’s where the road turned quiet
Where the sky forgets to end
My heart still haunts those bridges
From Bayou Chico on the road to Safety Harbor

I looked back and couldn’t see you
Just taillights in the sand
That’s where the love went drifting
That’s where the Gulf began

Where the Gulf Began

Two cups of coffee One gone cold 
Silent mornings Stories untold 
Your shadow fades It doesn’t stay 
I guess we’ve run out of words to say 

Separate lives Separate dreams 
We’re two rivers Not one stream 
We try We fight We cross the line 
But in the end You’re not mine

Separate lives .mp3

If it ain’t broke .mp3

(Vers 1)
You left me out in the cold
A feeling once new turned old
I didn’t choose this trash
But you burned me down to ash

(Vers 2)
I gave my life for your heart
But you walked, no brand new start
Now I just pray above —
Please come back, I miss your love

(Refräng)
Thunder rolls across my soul
Lightning strikes, I lose control
Dark thoughts racing through my brain
I can't escape, I’m going insane

please please  get it out from my brain
please please i dont need this pain

(Vers 3)
I won’t let you go without a fight
My love for you is all my might
You made me blind, took all my sight
So please come back to me tonight

(Bridge)
I walk alone in pouring rain
Each step I cry out your name
If your love is truly gone
Then let this pain keep dragging on

(Refräng – repris)
Thunder rolls across my soul
Lightning strikes, I lose control
Dark thoughts racing through my brain
I can't escape, I’m going insane


please please  get it out from my brain
please please i dont need this pain

(Final Verse / Outro)
I'm here now, down on my knee
Tell me, baby, how you want it to be
The end’s not near, it's a brand new tune
'Cause we’re together again under the moon

Yes — I'm yours and you are mine
And now this love is feeling fine

Thunder rolls over my heart

It's my passion to make quality songs using all resources available to me. As a music enthusiast I'm interested in many different genres. 

My music production process is a blend of traditional songwriting and cutting-edge AI. 

It all starts with the human touch: I craft the lyrics and song structures myself, sometimes accompanied by music I recorded or composed.

From these foundational elements, I then bring the songs to life using synthetic voices and musicians. 

A key aspect of my creative flow is "jamming" with what I call "personas", distinct AI voices and styles that offer consistent character and sound. 

My roots in music stretch back to the 1970s, when I was a drummer boy in the local harmony. 

The 1990s marked a pivotal moment with the advent of MIDI, opening up new avenues for instrumental composition. 

The early 2000s saw me dive deep into Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), and during that time, I also picked up the guitar. 

Since 2024, integrating AI into my workflow has been a transformative experience. 

It has unlocked unprecedented creative possibilities, providing access to a vast array of virtuoso vocalists and instruments, from intricate acoustic guitar arrangements to full orchestras.
