The Earth Love

Timeless feat. Amanitalinda

Method: Overdubbing to create that folksy ballad feel - in an eerie way
Narration: On the popular side of my romanticism (and my skills in pastiche text composition), this is a MORITAT - a warning song played by travelling minstrels or BÄNKELSÄNGER, somewhat like a murder ballad. A young girl (Lottchen) is seduced by a passing band of strangers, flees with them and later returns pregnant. In detail: A remote family farmstead in the early 19th century. In the first verse, the travellers try to impress the children, in the second verse they try to impress the elderly. They hope to trigger longing and yearning for far away landscapes - which does not work in both cases. In the third verse, they trade vain promises among themselves. There is one thing they are experienced in, though: feasting and telling tall stories. In the fourth verse, the father warns and threatens to send for the constable. In the fifth verse, the mother warns young Lottchen that "only what's loose drifts with the wind". In the sixth verse Lottchen has vanished along with the journeypeople and her loss is mourned. In the last verse, Lottchen returns with child.
Note: I tried to make the cover as tacky as .... welll .... others .....

Lyrics / copyright jo richter
(as published in 'chi' under the title 'los'):

den kindern erzählen sie von den bergen,
von hohen gipfeln in stein.
die kinder lächeln schüchtern:
wer will denn so einsam sein?


vor den alten prahlen sie lauthals mit der
weite des meeres, der see.
die alten grummeln mürrisch:
ihre schale fasst nur noch tee.
  

sich selbst geben sie große versprechen,
doch halten diese nie ein.
dafür wissen sie zu zechen
und fröhlich beisammen zu sein.


das sind, sagt der vater, alles bloß gauckler,
sänger und reisendes pack,
gewürm aus dem schoß von dieben:
die holt der gendarm bald ab.


die mutter schaut zu, schweigt und setzt sich
neben das lottchen, ihr kind.
bleib sitzen, lottchen, bleib sitzen:
nur loses treibt mit dem wind.
 

im frühdichten nebel des morgens, ach,
ist keine spur mehr zu sehn:
ach lottchen, mein herzliebchen,
was musstest du mit ihnen gehn?


die drehleier summt, die drehorgel walzert,
das lottchen kommt wieder heim.
 lieb hergott hilf, sie trägt ein kind,
das lottchen kommt nicht allein.

lieb lottchen

Lieb Lottchen

I recently collaborated with Adrian Hallam (@adrianhallam) to produce this track.

Stay tuned for new music in the coming months.

Lyrics:

Face is familiar
Cat got your tongue?
One in a million
Tight as a drum
Bang on the mirror
Have you gone criminal?

Shoe gazing lover
Heart weighs a tonne
Eyes for another
Band on the run
Stand and deliver 
Have you gone criminal?

Well, we've been here before, you were the only one
Who was looking for a love like a loaded gun
You didn't break any law, but we know what you've done
You were looking for a love like a loaded gun
I couldn’t take any more, I guess that means that you won
You were looking for a love like a loaded gun

Hand on the trigger
Hole in your shoe
Cry me a river
Turn of the screw
Love lasts forever
Have you gone criminal?

Blue velvet blazer
Sharp as a tack
Blood on a razor
Sweat on your back
Cold as a killer
Have you gone criminal?

Down at the chateau
Part of the plan
Over the rainbow
Stand by your man
Keep it together
Have you gone criminal

Love Like A Loaded Gun

Thanks for stopping by!

My third album, "To Bloom, To Wither," recently hit the iTunes music store. Download here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/to-bloom-to-wither/id1208748145

Additionally, "Nocturnality" and "Empyrean Fantasy" are both available for streaming on Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/artist/sundaug/AR6X2trV74mVdrV

Enough self-promotion. I'm a guitarist, pianist, and producer from Philly, who studied music at the University of Virginia. Hard to peg my music to one genre; for better or worse, my sound is always changing.

All in all, thrilled to have the opportunity to create something worth listening to. Hope you enjoy!

I encourage you to leave any comments on my music, inbox me, etc. and I will always do my best to respond in kind.
