Musically Projecting the Experience of Hurling On Through a Large Expanse of Open Air _ Variant #2 _

Just a little idea this morning before heading out. Another version where the drum pattern doesn't change around the 1 minute mark. Just a quick rough idea. Let me know what you think.

Ambient Piano Beat

She calls at midnight, slurring your name,
Says she’s just lonely, says you’re to blame.
You reached for the phone, but buddy - don’t dare,
She does not miss you, she just hates the air.

Don’t let her get close, don’t let her in,
She’s not yours, she’s just where you’ve been.
She’ll twist your heart like a rodeo rope -
So saddle up strong, and don’t let her get close.

You know that look when she knocks on your door,
Same old boots on your hardwood floor.
She’s got that smile, that sway in her hips -
But all that leads to is tangled-up slips.

Don’t let her get close, don’t let her in,
She’s not yours, she’s just where you’ve been.
She’ll twist your heart like a rodeo rope -
So saddle up strong, and don’t let her get close.

Don’t confuse comfort with something that’s right,
Some things feel warm just 'cause it’s late at night.
She ain't your soft place to land, she’s the fall - 
So don’t text back, don’t take that call.

Don’t let her get close, don’t let her in,
She’s not yours, she’s just where you’ve been.
She’ll twist your heart like a rodeo rope -
So saddle up strong, and don’t let her get close.

Yeah, y’all had fire, but fire can burn,
And love that’s wrong just won’t ever turn.
She ain’t your peace, she ain’t your home,
Just a half-sweet ghost when you’re feelin’ alone.

Don't Let Her Get Close

Impact

Impact, Now I'm falling (现在我正在坠落)

Impact, Fireworks  (烟花)

Impact, Petrichor (雨的味道 )

Impact, Dim light (昏暗的灯光)

Impact,  The smallest moments (最微小的时刻)

Impact, Dancing in the clouds (云中起舞)

He sat behind a desk, clean shirt, pressed tie,
Polite with a smile and a distant eye.
He helped her with her form, said “You’re all set.”
Then typed another name, without regret.
He never shouted, never drew a gun,
Just clocked in early, stayed till the day was done.
Each name a whisper, each list a sigh,
A careful hand in a quiet lie.

Decency is not just social code,
Not just the mask that we all uphold.
Decency begins where reflection starts,
In the beating dignity of another’s heart.

They called him decent — a quiet man,
Who followed the orders, stuck to the plan.
“Just doing my job,” he used to claim,
As he typed the lists, name after name.
He never saw the camps, the ash in the air,
But his fingers fed the nightmare there.
Each list a sentence, stamped and signed —
Each name a life, erased by the line.

Decency is not just social code,
Not just the mask that we all uphold.
Decency begins where reflection starts,
In the beating dignity of another’s heart.

The trains rolled east with the silence of death,
No questions asked, no wasted breath.
He turned to lunch, then typed some more,
While souls were taken by the boxcar door.

He never raised his voice.
He never cursed.
But he typed names into darkness —
Line by line, and verse by verse.

Decency is not just social code —
It’s the choice to see when the world says no.
Decency is conscience, not routine —
It begins when you see what remains unseen.

The train was real, the list was true —
And someone’s life depended on you.
It’s not the rule that makes you good —
It’s what you do when you know you could.

A Decent Man

Very eerie beat

An open letter to what almost existed: fingerstyle guitar up front, raw male vocal, and a chorus that hits hard. Portuguese lyrics about longing for a love that only lived in our heads — bittersweet, intimate, and memorable. For fans of emotional acoustic pop, organic guitar textures, and honest storytelling. Drop a comment if you’ve ever felt saudade for something that never truly was.

Saudade do que nunca foi

Two voices in the dark. A cold lead circles E minor, then the floor tilts into B minor—same palette, different gravity. Sparse drums and air between hits keep the vocal lane wide; low, ominous synth beds glue the switch. Eerie, hypnotic, minimalist at 140 BPM.

Track facts
• Tempo/Keys: 140 BPM • E minor → B minor (dominant pivot)
• Palette: two synth leads (call/response), sub/808, tight kick, dry snare, minimal hats, small-room verb tails
• Structure: 8-bar intro (Em) → 16-bar verse (Em) → hook (Bm) → verse 2 (Em) → alt hook (Bm, thicker bed) → outro

Notes on the key change

Use F# as a common-tone pedal to sell the pivot.

Let C → C# motion announce Bm without adding clutter.

Keep drums identical across sections so the harmony shift feels bigger.

Cold Mod (140 BPM E minor → B minor)

I make Hip-Hop working on my first project release. Getting used to sharing my work with people.

After many years of creating music behind the scenes — ghostwriting and producing for others — I was encouraged to finally share my own voice. What you'll hear reflects my eclectic inspirations: from pop, dark ambient, classical, Chinese folk, shoegaze, Mandopop, R&B, EDM, hybrid trap, hip-hop, to ambient, new age, phonk, chillout and lounge. I’ve released several albums across these styles, each one shaped by an evolving emotional and cultural journey.

I collaborate with two extraordinary Chinese tenors, Tian Zhang and Liang Lin, whose voices bring a celestial depth to many of my tracks.

I was previously on SoundCloud but accidentally deleted my account — so here I am again, hoping my former listeners find their way back... and welcoming new ones into my sonic world.

I'm just a producer or something

My downloadable songs are free to use.

"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?
