You waited ’til October
To show off your true colors
Rose red, golden, and green
Next spring I’ll bring you flowers
Those white chrysanthemums
We both know what that means

But what’s so scary about a change of season?
I don’t expect nothing to last forever
One step more to go before you fall asleep for good

No more morning. No more light
Son, it’s going down so
Light this candle. Close your eyes
I wonder if you’ll see the afterlife
It must be so exhausting
Trying to keep this from me
Some secrets we’re meant say
But this one goes with me to the grave

What’s so scary bout a change of seasons
I don’t expect no one to live forever
One step more to go before you fall asleep for good
I try to tell myself to make my peace with 
All the shit you’ve done
Because you’ve been running your entire life
And so have I 
But now you’ve reached the end
It’s time to say goodbye

No more mourning. No more lies
Everything got quiet
Listen close and close your eyes
I wonder if we’ll see the afterlife
It must be so exhausting
Trying to keep this from me
Some secrets we’re meant save
So this one goes with me to the grave

You waited ’til October
To show off your true colors
Rose red, golden, and green

Afterlife

Hello everybody,
after a long musical break since 2019, I started writing again and started a new project with Tom, my brother from another mother. That was about 15 months ago. It was strange and challenging to start something in a pandemic. But it gave me that positive energy and comfort that I've always found in music. And it was a lot of fun. We named our first child “136Hz” :-) You can find it on Bandcamp. Listen and enjoy! (https://steptom.bandcamp.com/releases)
All the best and take care of each other. Love, Steph 

At the age of 11 I got a Louis Armstrong LP. Brass was my thing. Well, I never came to play trumpet. With 14 I found myself playing drums in some school bands. My ambition was to become at least a modest hardcore punk drummer, but I ended up in a ska and reggae band, a really weird experience. I was not a good drummer and I just wanted to play loud :-)End of the 80s I started to play bass and sing in different formations, to write songs, poetry, stories. I stopped making music at the end of the millennium. Just writing stories and working as voice over artist. Music always helped me getting through difficult times and losses. I forgot this positive energy in music for a long time.

Some time ago my son asked me about my past as a musician. I’m so thankful for his questions. He showed me the way back to music.
And with all these talented and inspiring people here on Soundcloud it's a pleasure to share this passion.

*PLEASE VISIT THE BANDCAMP PAGE BECAUSE THERE'S MUCH MORE MUSIC THERE!* SSABGAH stands for Sticks and Stones Are Bonebreakers, Girls Are Heartbreakers.  This is my "persona" for making music, and the name actually came from a mix CD that my older brother made.  (I don't think he knows that yet ;D) I will be adding music because I have much more made, I just don't have time to upload it as of right now.  Enjoy!  

Goodbye Stranger is Out Now!
