Disquiet Junto Project 0694: 5/4ify
The Assignment: Add a beat to a pre-existing piece of music.

I took this track of mine, released in 2023, and worked through it, editing every sequence / loop so it was in 5/4. I then sped up the tempo so the track is the original length. 

The most interesting thing to me is how similar it feels! I guess a bunch of the rhythmic stuff is fairly similar.

poem / copyright jo richter:

verschalt in blech
der trafo summt
nimm den hund, den hund
von der leine
der trafo summt
da oben fliegt*
ein zeppelin
der trafo summt
tagaus tagein
graues blech, lüftung
der trafo summt
der trafo summt

* in meinem Erleben fliegt ein Zeppelin und fährt nicht, was auch immer Fachsprachler sagen ;-)

Beautiful film with amazing music. You can't go wrong with duo Leone-Morricone. I did this cover more than 10 years ago, recorded as audio on crappy gear, but it sounds kinda nostalgic...

🔥 Afterglow – Song Insight & Lyrics 🔥

🔻 Afterglow – Song Insight
Some loves fade slowly, like the final embers of a fire that once burned bright. Afterglow is about breaking free from the past, stepping out of someone's shadow, and finally breathing without them.

This is a song for those who escaped a love that left scars, but no longer feel the weight of it. It’s about watching the pieces drift away, knowing they can never pull you back.

The melody lingers like a memory, but the words hit like a revelation—this is not about loss, but about freedom.

🔻 Afterglow – Lyrics
🌙 [Intro]
"No longer trapped in your afterglow,
The light has faded—it let me go.
Fragments fall, dissolving slow,
A life I’ve left, but still it shows."

🔥 [Verse 1] (Deep, pulsing bass, atmospheric reverb, slow build-up)
"Overflowing depths where silence grows,
Pulling down the pieces no one knows.
A hollow cry that cuts the air,
But the cost you pay is always there."

⚡ [Chorus] (Radiant, soaring vocals, layered harmonies, shimmering synths)
"I watch my notes drift by,
Words you’ll never hear.
No longer I wonder why,
They dissolve, then disappear."

🌊 [Verse 2]
"Ink-stained hands trace broken lines,
A story lost to wasted time.
Shards of light fall through the cracks,
Breathing fades and won’t come back."

🌌 [Bridge]
"Fractured mind, a shattered view,
The mask you wear is breaking through.
Strings you pull to keep control,
But they tighten and devour you whole.
You spin in circles, downward bound,
But I’ve escaped—no longer found."

🔥 [Chorus Reprise]
"I watch my notes drift by,
Words you’ll never hear.
No longer I wonder why,
They dissolve, then disappear."

✨ [Outro]
"No longer the weight that burdens me,
I’ve broken free from what used to be.
The past remains, but I’ve let it fade,
Now I stand whole, no longer afraid."

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This song isn’t a goodbye—it’s a release. Afterglow is for anyone who’s walked away and realized they don’t need to look back.

4Me2BeFree doesn’t just write about pain. This is about what comes after—the healing, the acceptance, the moment you finally breathe on your own.

The name says it all: 4Me2BeFree. No limits. No apologies. No more afterglow—just the light of a new beginning.
