Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

SEI MUTIG! (Der Text) 
Durchgezechte Nacht mit verbogenen Gedanken.
Vernebelte Sicht durch Alkohol und Nikotin.
Aufgetaucht in einer Frühstückskneipe.
Irgendwo im Nirgendwo von Berlin.

Ich fühlte mich einsam und auch mies.
Nicht die geringste Spur von Liebe.
Was läuft hier nur falsch?

Fader Kaffee mit bitterem Geschmack.
Meine Blicke leer aber immer suchend.

Schräg gegenüber saß ein Mädchen.
Heller Teint und schwarzes Haar.
Ihr Blick traf mein Herz.
 
Was ist jetzt nur los?
Ist sie das große Los?
Im Hals `nen fetten Kloß!
Wie schaffe ich das bloß? 

Irritiert schaute ich zu Boden.
Ich wünschte sie käme rüber zu mir!
Kurz darauf blickte ich wieder auf - 
und sie stand ganz nah bei mir.

Und sie sagte:
komm sei mutig!
Zieh mich ganz fest an dich!
Hey, sei nicht so feige!
Glaube an dich und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Ich dachte:
komm sei mutig!
Ich zieh` sie ganz fest an mich!
Ey, ich bin nicht feige!
Ich glaube an sie und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier! 
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Sei mutig!

Another new track from the album "Was This Written"
enjoy :)

Another decade gone
I have to admit, it’s been my favourite one
We've had ups and downs
We’ve been thrown around in a cyclone as we’ve grown
And we’ve chased our tails
Searching for the next junction in the road
But it’s all felt like it’s been part of a plan
For what’s about to unfold

This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now

You see we’ve knuckled down
We've grafted our fingers to the bone
We've put in the time, mastered the patients
Now let's go

This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now

And it feels so right
Like it was written in the stars for us
To grit our teeth and bide our time
And I feel so alive
Like I’ve got magic in my soul tonight
So buckle up and hold on tight

This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now

Choppy seas, calm waters...the Cumbrian coast has its fair share. From the village of Seascale was noted the boat club pictured. The once next-door village of Windscale became known for its massive nuclear plant in the late '40s. Following a disastrous fire in 1957 (caused by uranium overheating)the plant was renamed Sellafield. The Windscale Boat Club however lives on.....

I am a german musician- born in the middle of the sixties. I am not a filigree genius. I would like to say- I am a craftsman musician. If the sound is loud and powerful- then I am satisfied!

I have autodidact learned to play the instruments guitar, bass and drums. 

My lyrics and music are inspired of everyday life. I am not a virtuoso but I love what I do. 

For recording my songs I use my homestudio. (Nandi´s Cavern Studio) 

The enthusiasm for the music is my drive and I am happy if I can take the audience with me on my musical rambles!
