We make promises 
that are not kept.
To love us, to be faithful to us,
until the last day. 

I'm torn inside 
Was i really that blind?  
My memories of good days 
Make me sad today

Reality dulls 

How could it get so far?
What has happened to us? 
All the questions that torment me 
When the time is up 

I'm torn inside 
Was i really that blind?  
My memories of good days 
Make me sad today

Reality dulls 

My world is broken.  
My dreams conjure up madness.  
The wheel of time keeps turning.  
My heart has to accept this 

I'm torn inside 
Was i really that blind?  
My memories of good days 
Make me sad today

Reality 



Reality (Synth&Keys)

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

A song about how I came to learn to play the guitar and start to write songs. I am very sorry for the poor sound. But at the moment I can only record with my phone. That's why I have to play the song in one go. The drums are just the built-in drum accompaniment of my amplifier, which I switched on in this song after the first chords. I will buy an audio interface and try to find a DAW (free or not too expensive) - if you know a free one, you can send me a PM.
One day I will manage to get a better sound, I am sure! But for the first songs, only all live-played with the drums from my amp recorded via phone, since I cannot do more at the moment. Perhaps some like it nevertheless? I am a bit excited about pulishing my first track here...
Since someone asked for the lyrics:

Motörhead is dead
A song called Ramones brought me to them
In my girlsroom I learned to play the guitar
I knew that I would not get very far
When my teacher told us, Motörhead is dead
I wanted to find out the music they made
The music was so fast, the sound was so hard
A song called Ramones brought me to them
Another great band
A second hand guitar, amp from my brother, too loud for my mother
In my girlsroom, on my bed, with headphone on, guitar in hand
With every chord I felt more alive
Motörhead and the Ramones became my drive
I plug in my amp and turn on the sound
Playing Motörhead so loud
With Motörhead my journey had begun
Now I write songs one by one
I learn how to rock and run
And Motörhead lives on and on and on and on

Motorhead Is Dead

Track #11 of my third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

Living in our heads and in our dreams while being shut out from the world. The only input through our phones insubstantial, the mind hazy and disconnected. Night time adventure and freedom. Waking up to the hazy grey of day light, facing reality, a daily challenge.

LYRICS:

Signal's weak
I can barely hear
Others near
I can barely speak

Colours soft
I can barely see
A cloud of silk
Not much space to move

So much hissing
So much static 
Some voices, they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone 
Anyone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Lights are on
It must be getting dark						 
Not so sure
Anyone is even here

It's getting light
But it seems really dull
Brain is jammed
Too drained to activate today

So much static 
So much hissing
Some voices they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone
Leave me alone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
Just slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
It slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Wait
Out 
It doesn't end, you know

It just morphs inside
Into something else
You would otherwise
Have never know
Never known

Stand
Wait
Stand
Wait
Stand and wait

Down the Rabbit Hole

Chrysalis

The song is about joining your first band at fifty and thinking maybe you should have done this earlier. Photo was taken at our first recording session, in the loft!

Days Of Silence

Nothing More

Feel the wind in your face
Blowing across the bay
You stand up tall
With your back against the wall

Watch the waves raging
And the seagulls chasing
You’re so done with seeing
What the world has become

All that is left
Is here with me
Nothing more nothing less
Just me and my fear

Through the eye of the storm
There comes a barque
It carries a load 
So precious but worn 

And when the day was done
And darkness had been gone 
You’re starring stunned at
Heaven’s vault in the sun

All that is left
Is here with me
Nothing more nothing less
Just me and my fear

Nothing More

Lucky Man (Emerson, Lake & Palmer cover)

A time ago I discovered the soundcloud page of multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player Neno and his other proJect/page, Danen II (covers and support). 
I knew he sounds like he ‘s born with a guitar in his hands, but I discovered this cover (of Peter Hammill), where Neno sings! His voice at the same time fragile and strong, the lyrics deep emotional: I instantly liked it: his vision and mine in one combined! Enjoy.

Lyrics 

I have a vision of you, locked inside my head;
It creeps upon my mind and warms me in my bed
A vision shimering, shifting
Moving in false firelight;
A vision of a vision
Protecting me from fear at night

[Refrain]
As the seasons roll on, and my love stays strong

[Verse 2]
I don't know where you end, and where it is that I begin
I simply open my mind and the memories flood on in
I have a vision of you, locked inside my head;
It creeps upon my mind and warms me in my bed
A vision shimering, shifting
Moving in false firelight;
A vision of a vision
Protecting me from fear at night

[Verse 2]
I don't know where you end, and where it is that I begin
I simply open my mind and the memories flood on in
I remember waking up with your arms around me;
I remember losing myself
And finding that you'd found me

[Refrain]
As the seasons rolled on, and my love stayed strong

[Verse 3]
Be my child, be my lover, swallow me up in your fire-glow
Take my tongue, take my torment, take my hand and don't let go
Let me live in your life
For you make it all seem to matter
Let me die in your arms
So the vision may never shatter

THE VERY DARING PIPER (Lyrics) Song for Stella

Instrumental generously offered in an open collab by Paploviante.
Thanks Paul for this wonderful music. I hope my lyrics and voice do it honour!

Lyrics: Why? 

ieieieiei

The voyeur in me, Stares secretly
What’s meant to hide, Belongs to me
Nothing escapes, That gaze of me
It penetrates your fantasy
The shame you feel, Feel secretly
The joy you feel, Belongs to me

You can ask yourself why
What did you hope to find
When you digged into my mind
What did you expect 

You changed my smile into a cry
You don’t give a fuck, As long as you smile 
As long as you laugh, As long as you smile 
As long as you laugh, You don’t give a shit
About my cry
								
Ieieiei
My brain, a maze, you entered it, My thoughts wild jumping,
I asked for it, You like to touch
I was aware, Still feel the squeezes
Feel them there
Your kitchen table
A mess was it
You cleaned it, but I won’t forget
The voyeur and toucher
How they met

You can ask yourself why
It’s your road and yours alone
I just may walk it with you
But no one can walk it for  you 
It’s your own road and yours alone

Why? ( collab Paploviante Instrumental//Saskia: lyrics+vocals)

State of confusion  lyrics

I went to a doctor because i hear things  that aren’t there
My mind wanders mentally
I hope you take this seriously

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

I’m hearing voices
That no one else hears
The sound ’s so frightening me
Because   i know they aren’t real

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

So doctor you must help me
To chase this voices and visions away

Tell me this hallucinations are only  temporarally

I  feel things moving under my skin
Imagine the state wher” I’m in
State of confusion, depression hallucination
confusion, depression hallucination

(In layers: lyrics all together)

Still not enough. 
And - as per usual - it's always about money.

My second DAW song.

Fortress of Fear
Please help me out, please help me out, out

I'm trapped inside this fortress of fear
I'm trapped inside this fortress of fear
Walls closing in, their shadows coming near
Mean voices and noise that only I can hear
It comes back a long forgotten tear
It comes back a long forgotten tear

I cannot find out, flee from the noise so loud
I cannot find out, I am nothing but doubts

Please help me out, please help me out, out

I'm trapped inside this fortress of fear
Ever higher the strong walls they grow
Inside this tower my soul feels low
Oh I feel so real insanity grow
Watch me sinking as madness overflows
Who can remember once I was a rose
Who can remember once I was a rose

I cannot find out, I could scream and shout
I cannot find out, I could scream and shout

No way out, no way out, no way out
How to get out, how

Méditations Poétiques (poetic meditations) By Zitou Itou & Wildsilences

Neno, is a multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player, and occasionally singer with a warm voicecolor. He has also another project/page, Danen II (covers and support). We worked in the recent past together, resulting in songs expressing deep emotional feeling.

The instrumental "Lost souls" cuts already deep in the heart.. The lyrics i found in the deepest well.

Lost souls

If nothing is your name
And love is just a game
If it’s in  the wrong direction
that you’re looking for connection,

And you reach out for acceptance
And you want to be seen
But no one seem to care and everyone is mean

If you’re longing for attention
And you’re screaming it out
But alone in the desert
No one hears your shout
And you’re talking with the devil
Corse he is the only one 
Who tries to figger out 
what you want

We each harbour the strength within us to bear any pain that life brings; we simply need a gentle reminder of such. So when you feel life may have gotten the better of you, don't ever give up; just ensure you do your best to manage by developing coping mechanisms that will help propel you forward, even if only by an inch. Thereon, incrementally, you will become more willing and capable of tackling each of life's challenges.
