When Manuel sent me a guitar track over a year ago I fairly quickly decided to write an epilogue for Major Tom. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longish break from writing music. With infinite patience Manuel waited for me until now and to my even greater surprise this retro lyric has become almost current with the two NASA astronauts in space waiting for their return trip to Earth.



SEND ME A ROCKET
(MAJOR TOM THE EPILOGUE)

I can’t hear you 
Still I can see you
A cloudy ball in space
Nothing to keep it in place
This is my beautiful view
Nothing can make things right
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
This can’t be
This can’t be
My final fate

It’s been so long
It feels like you forgot me
Nobody cares about the shirts I wear 
Did you move onto something new
Cause I’m still looking at you
I’m still waiting for you

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Show me that you love me

You forgot so soon
It hurts all the time
You forgot I was a shining star
You wouldn't write enough about me
Oh, oh, I’m so sad

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Lighten your pocket
Show me that you love me
Send me some hope
Some hope

I can’t let go
I dream all the time
I wanna feel the sun and wind
I wanna go home

Stuck in my tin can
With no way out, out
Shiny and bright
Can you hear me shout, shout
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
Oh no, oh no
I want to go
Want to go
Want to go 
Want to go home
Go home
This can’t be
This can’t be

Rien de Bien

ba lil lalela

just a simple one mic, spontaneous performance,  me, some words, and a guitar.

Bay Of Pigs Lullaby

this track was inspired by reading The Wager, a great true adventure story by David Grann. 

lyrics

meet me in the portrait 
down beneath the shade of tree
pack me in a suitcase
hollow out a chest built out for tea

I could be the border 
maybe you could set my scene
a painting like a raincheck 
trapped inside a submarine 

somebody is following
you better watch your back
once you lost your mind it's gone
and your incurring 
wager islands wrath 

so meet me in the rainbow 
down by the waterfront cascade
where beaux jack a dandies 
stole all the hearts from those who prayed

we could be important 
when our discoveries unveiled 
hook me up to morphine girl 
and I'll put up the bail

somebody is following 
you better watch your back
once you lost your mind it's gone
and your incurring wager islands wrath 

so meet me in the portrait 
we'll set sail at crescent moon
you can be the cannon
ball and I'll provide the boom

look out for me this summer 
when all the seas have frozen cold
you can be the treasure map
and I'll provide the gold


thanks for listening, greatly appreciated as always.


Wager Island (Acoustic)

I wrote this poem for those who are needlessly suffering in the world but especially for the  women, children and the elderly who can be so vulnerable.  I feel that whatever I can do will help others even though I feel helpless and sometimes hopeless. Music makes it bearable.

Always with You ❤

You will
always be the
light.  for me.
you are. Life.
I see you.
the long distance
between us
does not blind me
from your heart.
Where God lives.
And She has a way
of showing up
out of no where
out from the depths
of bleakness. Stopping.
Your suffering.
It travels from across
the globe again and again.
We see you.
Our collective hearts breaking.
Open. Unseen.
Gifts flowing from the seat of God.
There sitting with you.
without suffering.
Like you
are Majestic. Eternal.
Love sending you love.
Always. And again.

Lady Of Fire Poetry x RiZLiX - Always With You

Hello Everybody!

For me, America was always the country which brought democracy and freedom back to Europe after the dark times of fascism and the horrible World War 2. Our strong partnership has ensured 80 years of peace in the western world. Furthermore, it was always a country of inventions. Technologically, but also culturally. I love American music.

It is extremely shocking to see how democracy is dying rapidly in the USA. It really can be compared with the events that happened in Germany in 1933. The democratic structures are getting shattered by a group of narcissists that are interested in the extension of their own power and wealth only. Millions of Americans got fooled by the lies and conspiracy theories of a man that is absolutely not interested in the well-being of his voters. Furthermore, he destroys the backbone of our common security by betraying his Allies. I’m sure Vladimir Putin can’t stop laughing since weeks.

All this makes me sick. As a therapy for myself I had to write this song.

But I can’t post this song without having a look on my own country, too. Here in Germany, we just had elections and the neo-fascist of the AFD got more than 20%! So, you guys in the USA are just one step ahead of us. And we really should know it better! But people are forgetting so quickly. The last people of that generation who know what fascism and war really mean, will be gone in near future. Like my 90-year-old mother, who lost her home by an air strike in 1945.

All that is very frightening. So, let’s fight for democracy, wherever you guys are! Stay strong!

Take care!

Thorsten

Lyrics:

What’s wrong with you America?
I felt you near, now you’re away so far
Have been there twice, much more to see
Don’t really know what do you mean to me?

You taught me Blues and Rock’n’Roll
Invented Jazz, Hip Hop, Country and Soul
Martin L. King and JFK
These days are gone and far away

What’s wrong with you America?
You lead the world into a massive disaster
Greedy Musk, narcissist Trump
Behave like kings, have made you dumb

What’s wrong with you America? (3x)
What is your way America?

What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?

What if you slept

🎶 "It’s All About You" by Dan Boyko is a raw, emotional rock ballad that dives deep into heartbreak, regret, and the weight of losing someone who meant everything. With haunting lyrics, powerful vocals, and unforgettable melodies, this track captures the moment when love slips away—and the silence is louder than words.

A must-hear for anyone who’s loved, lost, and lived to tell the story. 💔🎤🔥


Its All About You

It’s the song before I go to bed
It’s the song that plays in my head
It’s the song before I go to sleep
It’s this song that keeps me breathing
It’s the song that keeps me breathing

lyrics:
This is not a drill!

Give me something to break it in two
give me glory to rule the fools
take me in your house on a big flat screen
Ready to sink you on a dark black dream

Are you ready to become a slave of me?
Corrupted government ain't gonna set u free
All these righteous pre-election pigs
are now pointing the finger for you to pay the fee

Now it's the time, this is not a drill
ain't got no privilege , got nothing to feel
Your heart is gray from the news today
only your soul left in the end to pay


(p) & (c) 2025, Hostal Handshake.

This is not a drill! (new song 2025)

If everything is going down
I'd rather be at home.

And that's totally true.
