Umrandungen, Vol. 1

Umrandungen-01-14 (Remastered 2025)

[Verse 1]
When the world feels cold and distant.
And the faces turn away.
When the echoes fade to silence.
And you’re lost in shades of gray.

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t let the weight pull you under.
Don’t let the dark take control.
Reach for my hand, hold on tighter.
I’ll be here to lift your soul.

[Chorus]
Count on me when the night feels endless.
Count on me when your strength is gone.
I’ll be the light, I’ll stand beside you.
You don’t have to walk alone.

[Verse 2]
When your voice feels unheard, forgotten.
And your dreams slip through your hands.
When the questions have no answers.
And you can’t quite understand.

[Chorus]
Count on me when the night feels endless.
Count on me when your strength is gone.
I’ll be the light, I’ll stand beside you.
You don’t have to walk alone.

You are more than just the fight.

[Final-Chorus]
Count on me when the night feels endless,
Count on me when your strength is gone.
I’ll be the light, I’ll stand beside you,
You don’t have to walk alone........

You are more than just the fight.

Count On Me

Title: Notre Afrique en nous (Our Africa Within Us)
Artist: Aya Aminata
Label/Collective: Beyond & Before Music

Description:

Immerse yourself in an electrifying celebration with "Notre Afrique en nous". This powerful Afro-Tribal House track, driven by the passionate and anthemic vocals of Aya Aminata, is an hymn to the youth, heritage, and vibrant future of Côte d'Ivoire.

Inspired by ancestral rhythms, the iconic sound of the balafon weaves both hypnotic melodies and intricate patterns, layered with deep tribal drums, shakers, and chanting in an Ivorian language. All anchored by a solid four-on-the-floor kick at 125 BPM, the atmosphere is energetic, unifying, and utterly celebratory.

Let the movement take you over, feel the connection to the land and the ancestors, and dance for a brighter future. The Ivorian youth is stepping forward, and its strength is shining.

Content & Meaning:
This song is a powerful and proud anthem for the youth of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It is a declaration of identity, unity, and purpose. The lyrics weave together deep connections to the land, ancestral heritage, and traditional culture—embodied by the sounds of the drums and the balafon—with a forward-looking, ambitious vision for the nation's future.

The central theme is the inseparable link between the past and the future. The youth are portrayed not as abandoning tradition but as carrying it within them ("The ancestral drums speak through our voice"). This inherited strength fuels their drive to build a united, strong, and vibrant country ("To build a strong nation, our only mission"). The song is a call to action, emphasizing that the time for the youth to lead and shape their destiny is now ("our time is now").

Mood & Atmosphere:
The mood is overwhelmingly empowering, celebratory, and unifying. It evokes a sense of collective joy, pride, and unstoppable energy. The constant references to dance, rhythm, and music create a vibrant, almost tangible atmosphere that feels both tribal and modern. It's a song that you can imagine being performed at a massive, joyous gathering, full of movement and shared spirit. The tone is hopeful and fervent, brimming with confidence and an unbreakable sense of community and cultural pride. It is less a gentle ballad and more a rousing, rhythmic call to unity and progress.

PREVIEW /// B3 - Manuel Sahagun "Mermelada"

"Can I Be’s Smoke" is a hypnotic journey that feels like 60 BPM while pulsing at 120. Driven by heavy kick and snare, it blends industrial tension with psychedelic, dreamy textures. The result is a slow-burning, modern darkwave track — both floating and grounded, melancholic yet cinematic. Music for nights of smoke, steel, and strange reflections.
