Inside of Me

This song is actually more of a poem. But I only realized that when I tried to set the text to music after I had written it. 
"I count on you" is a song written as a heartfelt thank-you to the quiet companions in our lives — those who stand by us when times get tough. 
Sometimes, these are the people who understand us without needing many words. Sometimes, they are the loyal, four-legged friends who remain by our side through the years. And sometimes, it’s a spiritual presence that carries us through our darkest moments.

This song is about that steady, silent presence — the comforting feeling of not being alone. It reminds us how much strength can be found simply in being there for one another. Some call it friendship, others call it love — some believe it is God. Ultimately, it’s about connection, trust, and the quiet certainty: I can count on you.

A heartfelt thank-you to Andreas and Colter, who deeply inspired me in the creation of this song.

It would mean a lot to me if this song finds a place in your heart and uplifts you when you listen.



I count on you

When everything inside goes quiet,
and I don't know what to do,
when every step feels heavy,
somehow – there’s you.
You never asked for answers,
you just stood there by my side.
In a time that felt so broken,
you were my piece of light.

I count on you 
when the fire’s burning low.
When I feel like fading,
you’re the one who still knows.
I count on you –
not 'cause you're loud or strong,
but 'cause you stay,
when everything feels wrong.

You held my silence gently,
carried every flaw I had.
You saw the parts I couldn’t show,
and never said it’s bad.
You never needed big ideas,
you just showed up as you are.
And in the middle of the night,
you were my northern star.

I count on you 
when hope has gone to hide.
When the world gets smaller,
you still stay by my side.
I count on you 
no questions, no disguise.
You’re the quiet truth
in a world of little lies.

And if the day should ever come
when you can’t hold it all alone –
I’ll be the one who holds you back,
like you have always done.

I count on you 
And you can lean on me
We carry what the other can´t
And set each other free
I count on you 
and hope you feel it too.
Through every broken piece,
I’ve found a friend in you.

I Count On You

This song has sounded completely different 3 times, settled here.

Out Of The Ordinary

A partial remake of my earlier rearrangement of Frédéric Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, Op. 10 No. 12. 

A Sunday excercise where I laid down a bass part with the Jazz Bass Ultra on top of my earlier rearrangement. I played the electric piano part originally 2.5 years ago as midi in several takes. Also some midi note corrections and quantizations were made back then especially since the changing of the rhythm turned out to be more difficult for the left hand than I expected.. I'm not a pro bassist but it sure was fun playing this! I also didn't want the bass to steal all the attention from the keyboard part:)

I also made a short video of this:

LYRICS:

放課後の坂道を　一人で歩く影
誰にも見えない　世界を背負いながら
ポケットにしまった　夢のかけらたち
まだうまく　言葉にできなくて

誰かに届くと信じながら
遠回りばかりしてた

月が照らす　ひとりぼっちの夜に
少年は　空を見上げて
泣きたい気持ち　飲み込んだままで
明日を　信じてた

擦り切れたスニーカーと　破れたノートの端
「大人になれ」と　誰かが言うけど
無邪気なままじゃ　傷ついてしまう
それでも　守りたい何かがあった

ひとつずつ手放してきたけど
本当は全部　抱きしめたかった

月が照らす　届かない祈りを
少年は　胸に隠して
叫びたいほど　苦しかった夜を
ひとりで　超えてきた

目に見えない光が　確かにそこにあった
それを信じる強さを　僕はあの頃から知ってた

月が照らす　未来（あす）へ続く道で
少年は　少し笑った
誰にも言えなかったあの日の涙も
いまでは　誇りなんだ

見上げた空に　変わらず浮かぶ月
あの日の僕が　まだそこにいる

---

(Lyrics in English)

A faint light spilled into the alley
I held my breath and chased after a shadow
Just a small, almost vanishing hope
Was all I had in my pocket

I told myself, “I’m okay,” like a charm
But each time, I lost a little more of who I was

The moon gently watches over
Even my clumsy dreams
Though I pretend to be fine
I just want someone to notice me
The boy who still believes
Even on nights he feels like disappearing

I keep smiling through it all
Even though tears press against the edges of my heart
There’s a truth I can’t show anyone
Hidden beneath my cheerful voice

I say, “I’m used to it,” like it’s no big deal
But really, I just don’t want to give up

The moon silently floats above
As if to say, “It’s okay to cry”
Even if I don’t shine like others
I want to be true to myself
The boy who keeps walking
Guided by a light only he can see

Even if I take the long way around
Even if I stumble again and again
If I can someday laugh with you
Then that alone is enough

The moon gently watches over
All the lonely nights I’ve known
Even if I’m still weak and uncertain
I’ll walk on
The boy who keeps his heart lit
By the quiet moon above

Boy Beneath the Moon

If I Could Take Your Pain As Mine.

This inspirational song is about making your life better every day through the choices you make. The lyrics were written by Bill Hurley who worked with AI on melody and presentation.

A New Beginning

Music has always been my companion, and while I never mastered traditional instruments, dance became my way of feeling rhythm—through breakdance, salsa, hip-hop, and ballet. Now, with AI technology, I can finally translate those movements into melodies, crafting both uplifting pop tunes and soulful R&B tracks that tell deeper stories. This journey is my way of connecting, inspiring movement, and evoking emotions. Just hit Play and join me!
