Lyrics:

Everyone is dead, oh Everyone is dead
You better call up a number for a funeral bed
Because everyone you’ve ever known is dead

The cops shot themselves in the heads
The people died alone in their beds
And poor old Mrs Paul, she couldn’t take it all
So she leapt infront of a train 
So that she wouldn’t have to endure all of the pain

Hallelujah

When I get lonely I know I’m not the only
One who will die alone
Cause when I look the window of my
Burning apartment I see the Saints are all marching home

Oh, the Saints went Marching Away
On this beautiful holiday
We were celebrating Christ, but it would not suffice
Because the Saints went marching away

Everyone Is Dead

This piano piece is dedicated to all people that need to leave. Their homes, their loved ones, their lifes that they had so far. Because they see no future, because some regime presses them to go to war, because they have broken with their loved ones. All the best to you and may you find a new home!

Compositionwise: The piece is structured into 4 parts (starting @0:02, @0:45, @1:38 and @2:44). Each of the parts starts with a question-like motive built around Ninths. As with most of my pieces, I investigate applied perturbation theory also in this track by starting these 4 parts almost – but only almost – with the same notes and exploring, how initially tiny tweaks in the beginning of the parts evolve over time into distinctly different melodies, harmonics and moods.
Overall, the piece constantly oscillates between melancholic minor and consoling major harmonies and periods of relative calm interrupted by more restless forward driving parts. The transitions between the parts are made more seamless by ritardandos and by question-answer pairs such as e.g, @ 1:28 or @ 2:33. Most of the accompaignment in the left hand is in Vienna classic-like triad decompositions but for the climax of the track starting @ 2:02, the left hand switches to rock-piano-like octave jumps to increase the sense of emotional agitation. The track starts in A major and ends in Eb major which is said to be a warm and melancholic tonality. Tthe two keys are opposite each other (6 jumps away), so I guess, this is the maximum range of modulation possible to emphasize the sense of distance and leaving. 
The track can also be found on Spotify and on Youtube. Enjoy!

Leaving (Solo Piano)

A fairly uninhibited venture into traditional tonal Melodic-Harmonic territory in which the object of the exercise was to please the senses with completely recognisable tonal stimuli, this track is a reworking of f,,,Mmm,m,mmmm a piece I composed originally in 2019. In the current revision I could not resist the impulse to make several 'daring' modulations which may place more of a burden on the listener than was my original intention
I made use in this case of the eMastered online mastering service.

One of the earliest tracks that I still have access to. I tried fixing the master up a bit, but it's still pretty rough. I kinda like it though.

Taking Your Life Away (2006)

'Speccyville' is a mixed genre track really and is simply a release of feelings of how I felt at the time of putting it together.

Or Is It All An Illusion

Speccyville

白起（Bai Qi）【？〜B.C.257】

A great general of Qin. During his lifetime, he defeated nearly one million enemy soldiers, laying the foundation for Qin's unification of the world.

Sima Qian described Bai Qi as "taking advantage of the enemy's ability to change his strategy and unleash an infinite number of strange strategies, and his momentum shook the heavens."

At the Battle of Changping he killed many enemy soldiers.
He is said to have been buried.
Some say that a quarter of China's population at the time took part in the battle.

In the end, he was forced to commit suicide due to Fan Ju's tactics.
If Bai Qi had allied with Fan Ju, the Qin state might have unified the world during the reign of King Zhao.

秦国大将。他一生击败敌军近百万，为秦统一天下奠定了基础。

司马迁形容白起是“趁着敌人改变策略的能力，释放出无数奇葩，气势震天动地”。

据说长平之战时，他活埋了很多敌军士兵。
有人说，当时中国四分之一的人口参加了这场战斗。

最终，他被范雎的计谋逼得自杀。
如果白起与范雎结盟，秦国也许会在昭王统治时期统一天下。

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

They live in trees
And run through the forest,
Shoot poison arrows,
ride dinosaurs!

Taller than humans,
Stronger and faster!
Oh so much wiser,
Healthy and sane!

Connecting with spirit
Is what they live for!
They love the trees,
And animals too!

They have a braid
That plugs into nature,
See through the eyes
Of all living things!

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

Humans destroy all they see
For shiny rocks!
We do not know
The value of things!

We have machines
and bombs and explosions!
We’re really good
at blowing up things!

They stand for nature
And all that’s lovely,
They stand for freedom
And what is right!

If we were them
We would be the victors,
And always win
Because we unite!

I am a human being
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man,
Meow!

lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

Death is the enemy

Sax Machina 1 (Early Mix)

A power ballad about death and decay. Interpreting inevitable changes, loss and departure into John's skillful lyrics, the vocal melody conveys a deep sadness. I composed and played the song on piano and guitar both. It's hard to believe that a random collaboration paired John and me together. Later, Dirk joined as a vocalist and added plenty of drama. Thank you so much, it's always fun to collaborate with you!

==== LYRICS ====

I'm like a tree that sheds its leaves 
The final stage is coming, 
devoid of any future 

I stay here rooted to this spot 
No need to move around no, 
an ever growing tumour 

I see it only in my dreams 
When I awake from silence 
I hear the wind is calling me 
Testing my self-reliance 

Oohh sings the wind 
Oohh sings the wind 
Oohh sings the wind 
Things will never be the same 
Things will never be the same 

Alone I’ve walked this dusty road 
Left no trace and no sorrow, 
got no idea to borrow 

I'm bound right to this dying land 
Carrion crows are calling, 
an ever circling shadow 

I hope one day to see the light 
Dappled through meadows and tall trees 
And singing like the rippling stream 
Carried on a silent breeze 

Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Things will never be the same 
Things will never be the same

The Wind
