Vol.90

POOLARIZED Vol.90 by MichaelV

Deep in thoughts

No lyrics. Just instrumental.

Through concrete canyons, steel and glass,
Where car horns cry and people pass,
I steer my thoughts from rush and race
To find again my quiet place.
Each mile I leave the chaos far,
Chasing peace beneath a star.
The traffic thins, the tension dies,
A softer hue paints evening skies.
At last, the lake, the whispering trees,
The gentle hush, the scented breeze.
My home awaits with open door,
The world outside is war no more. :-)

The Daily Ride From Urban Roar To Calm And Sweet Home Shore

This is an overdramatized version of the story of the Bremen Town Musicians. I had a lot of fun making it. Hope you enjoy it too. :-)

Oh they walked so far with a tear in their eye,
 But they dreamed of a place with a bluer sky. 
Something better must wait ahead— 
Better than fear, better than dread.

First came the donkey, old and gray, 
Worked the farm till his legs gave way. 
Thrown aside when he slowed down, 
He set his sights on Bremen town.
Next was a dog with a loyal bark, 
Chased from home when nights grew dark. 
No one wanted an old brave pup— 
So he wagged his tail and trotted up.

Oh they walked so far with a tear in their eye,
 But they dreamed of a place with a bluer sky. 
Something better must wait ahead— 
Better than fear, better than dread.

A clever cat with velvet paws, 
Scratched from life without a cause. 
No more laps, no purring cheer— 
So she joined the friends with a mighty “Here!”
Last was a rooster, proud and red, 
Who crowed too loud above his shed. 
“Soup!” they said—but he took flight, 
And joined the gang by morning light.

 Oh they walked so far with a tear in their eye, 
But they dreamed of a place with a bluer sky. 
Something better must wait ahead— 
Better than fear, better than dread.

 They found a house to rest and dream, 
But robbers inside began to scream! 
The four climbed high, gave one great call: 
“Hee-haw! Woof-woof! Meow! Cock-a-doodle-doo!” and scared them all!

Now they sip sweet tea and sing all day, 
In a cozy home where they love to stay! 
Together they’re strong, together they shine, 
A family born from a hopeful sign.
Yes, they walked so far, but now they know— 
With friends by your side, you’ll always glow!

Off To Bremen

A whisper... in the blue...
A weaving of silence across the sky
Our own wandering thoughts drift by
They gather like mountains of morning dew
Then vanish from sight, forever new.
A breath, just a breath... and they change their face…

The shiny sun light comes breaking through
A splinter of gold in the endless blue
A beautiful ache that the soul holds fast
This moment can't last, this moment can't last

The sun sends its arrows, a golden spear
To strike on the heart of all that is dear
It touches the world with a sacred hand
On a sea of glass, on the waiting land.
A divine light... a holy sign…

The shiny sun light comes breaking through
A splinter of gold in the endless blue
A beautiful ache that the soul holds fast
This moment won't last, this moment won't last

The sun’s arrows, in their eternal fall
Brush the edges, while touching it all
And through their dreaming, a glimmer is saved
A memory of light on the world engraved
Engraved... 

The shiny sun light comes breaking through
A splinter of gold in the endless blue
A beautiful ache that the soul holds fast
This moment won't last, this moment won't last

A Whisper In The Blue

This is a true story: 
On November 23, 1977, Debbie Harry and Blondie performed in a concert at the Radio Bremen studio in my hometown of Bremen. The audience consisted of only 20 people, including me, just 18 years old. 
Nobody here at the time knew what a great band they were and that they would conquer the world.

There is a recording of this performance, which can be found on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3aWsq0ykFfE?si=5MbzDK7DoPm7PiOg


Bremen town, a foggy night
November cold, but the lights were bright
Radio station, Studio Three
You were gonna be on TV
Just eighteen, a nervous kid
Didn't know the history we did
Platinum blonde, a punk-rock queen
The coolest thing I'd ever seen!

The room was small, not even packed
Twenty kids in a TV act
The camera pans, "Now look alive!"
"Pretend there's more than twenty-five!"
You hit the stage, a sonic wave
For the tiny, secret crowd you gave
Your everything, we loved the sound
On that forgotten German ground.

No photograph from 'seventy-seven
No polaroid of teenage heaven
But fifty years, a flash of light
A.I. makes the memory bright
It's a fake selfie, yeah I know
But in my heart, it's our first show
Me and Debbie, side-by-side
Got nothing to prove and nothing to hide.

You thought the ocean was just down the street
Made us all smile, oh that was sweet
A moment lost in time, no trace...
Until the A.I. puts a smile on my face
Yeah, I know it isn't true
A pixel-perfect me and you
But the feeling's real, it takes me back
To that sound, that new wave track.

No photograph from 'seventy-seven
No polaroid of teenage heaven
But fifty years, a flash of light
A.I. makes the memory bright
It's a fake selfie, yeah I know
But in my heart, it's our first show
Me and Debbie, side-by-side
Got nothing to prove and nothing to hide.

No photograph from 'seventy-seven
No polaroid of teenage heaven
But fifty years, a flash of light
A.I. makes the memory bright
No photograph from 'seventy-seven
No polaroid of teenage heaven
But fifty years, a flash of light
A.I. makes the memory bright
So bright...

A.I. Makes The Memory Bright

A square that breathes
On summer eaves
A word, a glance
A fleeting dance

So close they seem
In a waking dream...
A kindness like glass
So quick to pass
An old man sighs
Through lonely eyes
The light will fade
A masquerade

A gentle sound
On hollow ground
A passing smile
For a little while

And no one knows
How the silence grows
A kindness like glass
So quick to pass
An old man sighs
Through lonely eyes
The light will fade
A masquerade

Each soul a room
Beyond the bloom
A wall unseen
Where they have been
Alone, so deep
While secrets sleep

A kindness like glass
So quick to pass
An old man sighs
Through lonely eyes
The light will fade
A strange masquerade

A Kindness Like Glass

I also like techno music and gave it a try... Here's the result.

Peace Within

Uplifting pop anthem with a countdown bridge and a stadium-ready hook. Hands up—this one’s made to lift off.

Lift Off

“Funk City” is a fast, feel-good funk instrumental built on tight drums, slap-bass, and bright rhythm guitar. The track locks into a 110 BPM pocket with syncopated hits and hooky chord vamps, opening up space for horn stabs and guitar/bass call-and-response. Perfect for driving, workouts, or any moment that needs high-energy groove.

CYBER CHORD writes songs the way a porch light holds a night: small, steady, and impossible to ignore. I work with AI as a true co-writer, then carve the lyric by hand and shape the track in Suno. The sound leans bare and human—country roots in the soil, a little rock grain in the teeth, and a faith-lit lift that chooses hope without preaching.

These are ordinary-room hymns: rings hidden in cotton, receipt-tape strings, a dress behind rain glass, a sink that cools while you find the words. Silence is an instrument here; sometimes there’s a full bar where the house gets to breathe. If a line can’t survive a campfire and a cracked mug, it doesn’t make the song.

If you’re new, start with the heartbreakers. They don’t shout. They stay. I believe in the holiness of the everyday, and in the quiet bravery of saying the thing before “later” takes it away.

No paid promo, no playlist buys, no cover-art pitches, no dance offers, no cold DMs. If it’s a pitch, the porch light’s off. If you’re a real listener, come in soft: pick one song, leave a genuine note (lyric or timestamp welcome), and hand it to one friend. That’s how this fire stays lit.

May your road stay open, your coffee stay warm, and your day be peaceful.

"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?
