Ive Been Waiting On Whats Next

A song about liking someone and not telling them, and not at all dwelling on that many years later...


Verse 1
So… Here I go again
Not saying the words running through my mind, that it’s you I’ve wanted all this time and
No… I cannot get myself to say it
To your face when I’m with you these words just seem so out of place

Chorus
And I’m lying to you and lying to myself,
Deep down I know nobody else can make me
Feel - quite - like - this - I - can’t - help – it
All I see is visions of you looking through me
Like you never knew me

Verse 2 
And hey… it’s far too late to let it show
Now I’m in orbit all around you 
And your mates, and I am bound to keep a
Straight… face while you fall in love with someone else and 
Parade her past me, and surely it’s plain to see that I am

Chorus
Lying to you and lying to myself,
Deep down I know nobody else can make me
Feel - quite - like - this - I - can’t - help – it
All I see is visions of you looking through me
Like you never knew me

Bridge
And I’m not dwelling on the fact
That I never got to tell you that
I liked you from the very first time we met
How pathetic I held it back for all these years
So cheers to frozen fears and cold regret
About the things I should’ve said to you
When I could like I was always mad about you
And here’s to never seeing you again
To never being more than friends, 
Holding hands on the beach or the middle of the street, you’re out of reach and I still

Chorus
See those visions of you looking through me
Like you never knew me
Looking through me
Like you never knew me

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

pfosten im seegrund
vorweltanmutung
baummaserrund
bronze war jung

festgrundwege
wo sichtweit schilf stand
tritt auf stammstege
am restlandrand

nunaugen blickblind
windsatter see
holnetz, schwamm, flint
ferment, longue durée

(interlinear T:)
poles in the lakebed
feel like ancients
circular tree grain 
bronze was nascent

paths sloping high ground
where once there was reed
step on the treetrunks
on the shelf

now-eyes unseeing
lake full of wind
net, cinder-sponge, flint
ferment, longue durée

THE HOLY SPIRIT (LOOPDIGGERS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE 2022)

My SoundCloud friend from the UK Martin Dean recently took me up on a suggestion that we create something beautiful together. Something spoke deeply to me while listening to his Cloud, and after about a month of consideration he settled on this improvisational piano piece of mine, and worked to orchestrate it along the 'less is more' principle.                              And OMG... something wondrous was born as you can readily hear.  Bless your Ears and your Soul, Martin!  and Thank You for engaging.

You can hear more of Martin's work @martindean

May you enJOY!  And btw... I'd recommend putting this one on Repeat.

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.
