This is a fairly complete revision of the original upload of August 2022. It is a jubilant piece that needs to be taken in its own  terms. The musical vocabulary in this piece is very conservartive and it obeys conventional structural norms.
This version was mastered by John Cafarella

Night of Golden Stars Revision EWQLSO version 25 September 2023

Original track. Dean on all vocals and guitars. 

LYRICS 
All he needed was to see her again
But he got carried away 
Tried to find out who were her best friends 
But he got carried away 
Had to know if she was all fine 
But he got carried away 
Called her cellphone 98 times!
Then he was carried away... 

...to a room where everything's white 
No windows to let in the light 
Padded walls and double deadlocks 
Medication and electric shocks!

He don't wanna live this misery 
Can't accept that they weren't meant to be
Gotta break out of captivity 
Before they schedule his lobotomy 

All he wanted was to see her smile 
But he got carried away 
Only sat outside her house for a while 
But he got carried away 
Used a tracker to see where she's been 
But he got carried away 
He doesn't know why the cops were so mean
When he was carried away...

...to a room where everything's white 
No windows to let in the light 
Padded walls and double deadlocks 
Medication and electric shocks!

He don't wanna live this misery 
Can't accept that they weren't meant to be
Gotta break out of captivity 
Before they schedule his lobotomy 
He don't wanna live this misery 
Trapped inside his fantasy
Just a menace to society 
He ain't the same as you and me!

Carried Away

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Schwarz wie Tinte fließt die Nacht
Durch die Schatten meiner Seele
(durch die Schatten, durch die Seele)
Jeder Atemzug bewacht
Von der Angst die ich verhehle

Zeit zerfließt wie Nebelmeer
(Zeit zerfließt)
Und die Last wird immer schwerer
(immer schwerer)

Doch ein Funke in der Nacht
Tanzt im Rhythmus alter Lieder
(Tanzt im Rhythmus)
Was verloren schien, erwacht
Kehrt als leise Hoffnung wieder
(Hoffnung wieder)

In der Dunkelheit gefangen
Kreisen endlos die Gedanken
(endlos kreisen sie)
Zukunftsängste, die mich bangen
Lassen alle Mauern wanken

Doch im Kern der tiefen Schwere
(tief in dieser Schwere)
Keimt eine neue Melodie
(eine neue Melodie)
Die mich trägt durch dunkle Meere
(trägt durch dunkle Meere)
Bis zum Morgenrot, ich fühl sie

Und der Funke in der Nacht
Wird zur Flamme, die mich leitet
(Flamme leitet)
Was zerbrochen war, erwacht
Wird zu Kraft, die mich begleitet
(Kraft begleitet)

In der Balance zwischen Licht und Schatten
(Zwischen Licht und Schatten)
Find ich Frieden, find ich Ruh
(Finde Frieden, finde Ruh)

English Translation:
Black as ink the night flows
Through the shadows of my soul
(through the shadows, through the soul)
Every breath guarded
By the fear I conceal

Time melts like a sea of fog
(Time melts away)
And the burden grows heavier and heavier
(heavier and heavier)

But a spark in the night
Dances to the rhythm of old songs
(Dances to the rhythm)
What seemed lost awakens
Returns as a faint hope
(Hope again)

Caught in the darkness
The thoughts circle endlessly
(endlessly they circle)
Fears of the future that make me anxious
Let all walls shake

But at the core of the deep heaviness
(deep in this heaviness)
A new melody germinates
(a new melody)
That carries me through dark seas
(carries through dark seas)
Until the dawn, I feel it

And the spark in the night
Becomes the flame that guides me
(Flame guides)
What was broken awakens
Becomes strength that accompanies me
(Power accompanies)

In the balance between light and shadow
(Between light and shadow)
I find peace, I find rest
(Find peace, find rest)

Seelenecho

“You & I”

Delving to the marrow
Raising trust to cleave the crust
To find inside all grist
To make joy of sorrow

Naked hearts unveil their arts

Over sun hills
And through moon valleys
Planting seeds as we grow
Blonde turns grey
As life arcs towards finale
Yet reap we still what we sowed

Ascending mystic mountains
Plying word to split the mist
Where rare two minds in tryst
Have sipped from fresh fountains

Kindred hearts lighten the charts

Over sun hills
And through moon valleys
Planting seeds as we grow
Blonde turns grey
As life arcs towards finale
Yet reap we still what we sowed

Pure bubblegum schlock. First track on my future bubblegum album.  

Bubblegum Dreams
Mike Krath

Lyrics

Candy-colored skies above the town
Spinning like a carousel round and round
Every step we take feels light as air
In this sweet world we don't have a care

Bubblegum dreams sticky and bright
Popping like stars in the velvet night
We chew on love till it’s soft and sweet
Dancing to the rhythm with bubblegum feet

Lollipop shadows on the concrete street
Whistling tunes with a sugary beat
The jukebox sings as the neon glows
This bubblegum world is the life we chose

Bubblegum dreams sticky and bright
Popping like stars in the velvet night
We chew on love till it’s soft and sweet
Dancing to the rhythm with bubblegum feet

[Bridge]
Oh the horns play loud and the organ hums
Guitars strum fast as the bassline drums
We're the boys who bring the candy to life
In a bubblegum beat we'll cut through strife

Bubblegum dreams sticky and bright
Popping like stars in the velvet night
We chew on love till it’s soft and sweet
Dancing to the rhythm with bubblegum feet

Bubblegum Dreams

i should have looked for fretless string instruments first. all are fretted  except edward :(
thank heavens for tuning pegs

fretful junior electric bass loves being outside

I am a sculptor of algorithmic sound. It is the art of pushing machines to produce the best of themselves — reaching toward a form of augmented humanity. Each track is conceived as a sensory and poetic experience, standing at the border between the real and the virtual, where technology becomes a vector of sensitivity.
