The Driving Beat — 21 October 2025

Every Little Thing (after The Beatles, 1964)

Rockabilly on high school love
Dave Warren ASCAP/BMI
Lyrics:
Verse 1: Met her by the lockers in September '68 Wearing mini skirts and go-go boots, she looked so great Asked her to the sock hop on a Friday night Dancing to The Supremes beneath the gymnasium lights

Chorus: We're the class of '69, living in our prime time Drive-in movies, milkshake dates, everything was so fine But the world keeps spinning faster, changes coming our way Will our love survive the times, or just fade away?

Verse 2: Cruising in my Chevy with the radio turned high Listening to The Beatles while the summer nights go by Her parents say I'm trouble with my hair down past my ears But I'd fight a thousand battles just to calm her teenage fears

Chorus: We're the class of '69, living in our prime time Drive-in movies, milkshake dates, everything was so fine But the world keeps spinning faster, changes coming our way Will our love survive the times, or just fade away?

Bridge: Vietnam's on the television, boys are getting drafted Protest signs and peace symbols, nothing's like we crafted She's got college applications, I might get my call Will our high school romance make it through it all?

Verse 3: Slow dancing to The Righteous Brothers at the senior prom Promising forever in each other's arms But graduation's coming and we're scared of what's ahead All those dreams we whispered lying on the riverbed

Final Chorus: We were the class of '69, thought we had all the time Soda fountain sweethearts in that innocent time Now the world has changed around us, nothing stays the same But I still hear our song when someone calls your name

Outro: Class of '69... our time... Class of '69... sublime...

Class of 69

Guitar:  Koa
Strings:  Martin Marquis Phosphor Bronze Medium - 4 weeks old.

That Driving Beat — 4 November 2025

For Episode 90, Joel and Andrene observe 1993's "A Bronx Tale". During the 1960s, a young boy growing up in the Bronx is torn between two role models: his working-class dad (Robert DeNiro) and the charismatic neighborhood mob boss (Chazz Palminteri) who takes him under his wing.

Ep. 90 - A Bronx Tale (1993)

This is my last song that I will be releasing for the time being.
I'm now taking a six-week digital detox vacation. 
We'll see and hear from each other again in 2026!
Happy Holidays!

I poured myself some coffee
The clock was ticking calm in four
A simple morning, rather groggy
Just as it always was before
But then the time signature changed its mind
A seven-eighths chain of complex design
My coffee splashed onto the carpet, wet
That’s how King Crimson makes you sweat!

The Moodies conceived it,
Procol Harum cooked it,
King Crimson defined it –
The birth of Progressive Rock!
And suddenly, everything seems to fit. 

The Moody Blues introduced the feeling
Of a concept day you must withstand
It’s symphonic, quite appealing
But doesn't require a steady hand
I looked for answers, sought the source
Found Baroque motifs from Procol Harum
A philosophical, dramatic force
Now trapped inside this concrete room

The Moodies conceived it,
Procol Harum cooked it,
King Crimson defined it –
The birth of Progressive Rock!
And suddenly, everything seems to fit. 

It wasn't just Time and a Word by Yes
Nor psychedelic trips of Pink Floyd
This music is pure inner stress
Every routine now destroyed.

The Moodies conceived it,
Procol Harum cooked it,
King Crimson defined it –
The birth of Progressive Rock!
And suddenly, everything seems to fit. 

Dear Elvis fans, you may now cry
In seven-eighths. 
And there is never any peace.
In any seven-eighths sigh. ;-)

Happy Holidays!

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
