A Songwriter’s Cinema/Genre-Spanning Journeys Through Longing, Lust, and Legacy

From neon-lit disco floors to grainy 1920s ballads and orchestral pop peaks, this collection of original songs navigates the wild emotional spectrum of being human — through raw confessions, sensual memories, lost futures, and deep introspection. Whether it's the pulsing desperation of "Mr. Dick Is Addicted", the dreamlike yearning in "Where Do I Belong?", or the haunting regret of "Ne Valait-ce la Peine?", each piece is crafted with era-specific precision and sonic authenticity.

Featuring lush string arrangements, gender-fluid vocals, synth ballads, jazz crooners, and even a duet with one’s own anatomy — these songs are built for musical theater stages, retro-future films, or that aching dance floor inside your head.

Акустическая гитара, распадающаяся на атомы (granular delay)

Шёпот на двух языках: «no more noise...» / «ты — снова ты»

Тиканье аналоговых часов вместо BPM

Рефлекторное отключение уведомлений

Жажда выехать в лес без гаджетов

UNPLUGGED DREAMS

Ever feel like you're drowning in noise? "In The Whispers of Silence" is an anthem for anyone trying to find a quiet moment in our loud, chaotic world.
The song begins with the anxious energy of a Monday morning commute, driven by acoustic guitar and piano, before building into a soaring, cinematic chamber pop chorus full of lush strings and vocal harmonies. It's a dynamic journey from the relentless pulse of notifications, news alerts, and social media feeds to the simple, profound peace found in a single, quiet breath.
This is a story about turning down the volume on the outside world to finally hear yourself again.
Thanks for listening, following, and sharing. Let me know in the comments where you find your moments of peace.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] The morning news bleeds through the bedroom wall A text alert, a missed and angry call My podcast’s screaming 'bout the latest scare While someone’s TikTok blasts upon the stair
[Pre-Chorus] Is it the sirens? The traffic? The pulse of the street? Or the sound of my heart admitting defeat? Am I shouting my story, just hoping I'm heard Before my own thoughts are completely blurred?
[Chorus] Somebody turn it down, let the quiet speak In this cacophony, it's peace that I seek Past the feedback screech and the panicked hum In the silence, let clarity come.
[Verse 2] The algorithm feeds me righteous rage Another hero takes a digital stage My uncle's politics, my cousin's new diet plan I lose the signal, forget who I am.
[Pre-Chorus] Should I add to the noise to drown out the rest? And make volume the measure of who passes the test? Am I just one more car horn, stuck in the jam, Making it worse just by saying "I am"?
[Chorus] Somebody turn it down, let the quiet speak In this cacophony, it's peace that I seek Past the feedback screech and the panicked hum In the silence, let clarity come.
[Bridge] The high notes faded as the years went by So I bought headphones just to amplify But who would have guessed, in this deafening domain, The greatest feature was canceling the strain.
[Outro] The Monday morning train begins its drone… The sprinkler's hiss on a Long Island lawn… Just listen closer... let the static cease… In the whispers of silence... I find my peace.


In The Whispers of Silence

[Verse]
Wires hum like a restless tide
Screens glow where the shadows hide
Click click the clock’s in overdrive
But I need to feel alive

[Chorus]
Unplug me let me breathe the air
No pixels no static just silence there
Escape the code break the seams
I’m chasing unplugged dreams

[Verse 2]
Algorithms write my daily fate
Every swipe feels like a heavy weight
I see my face in a mirrored state
But is it me or just a fake?

[Prechorus]
The signal fades the lights grow dim
A real world calls let me in

[Chorus]
Unplug me let me breathe the air
No pixels no static just silence there
Escape the code break the seams
I’m chasing unplugged dreams

[Bridge]
I’ll trade the data for a sky so wide
Trade the Wi-Fi for the ocean’s tide
No download speeds no constant feed
Just open space it’s all I need

Unplugged Dreams

Verse 1
Screens keep calling, pulling me in
A thousand faces, but none feel like friends
Scrolling for hours, but I feel so alone
Lost in the noise, in a world I don’t own
Pixels can’t hold me when I fall apart
I’m craving the touch of a beating heart
It’s time to break free, to feel the air
To find the truth that’s always been there

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been living in a shadow, in a digital haze
But I’m stepping into sunlight, I’m done with the maze

Chorus
Log out, live on
Hear the wind, feel the dawn
No more walls made of light
I’m chasing stars in the night
Every breath feels alive
Every dream will survive
Log out, live on
This is where I belong

Verse 2
No more filters to hide my face
I’ll paint my life in the realest shades
No notification can match this view
The sky’s wide open, the clouds are new
I’ve wasted time on a feed that fades
But the world out here, it’s tailor-made
Every step I take, my soul feels clean
Living outside the machine

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been living in a shadow, in a digital haze
But I’m stepping into sunlight, I’m done with the maze

Chorus
Log out, live on
Hear the wind, feel the dawn
No more walls made of light
I’m chasing stars in the night
Every breath feels alive
Every dream will survive
Log out, live on
This is where I belong

Bridge
Turn the phone down, lift your eyes
There’s a whole world past the lies
Every heartbeat’s worth the fight
When you’re free, you touch the light

Final Chorus
Log out, live on
Hear the wind, feel the dawn
No more walls made of light
I’m chasing stars in the night
Every breath feels alive
Every dream will survive
Log out, live on
This is where I belong

Log Out, Live On

Screens are not  bad. They connect us, inform us, entertain us.
But when they take over our downtime, our relationships, or even our moods, it is time to rebalance.
Here are realistic, practical steps to help you take back control without going off the grid.


Vital Spark: Realistic Steps to lessen Time on Screens


Unfollowed My Past is about the day I finally chose peace over pressure. I realized I didn’t need to delete people 
I just had to disconnect from the noise. The best decision I ever made was quitting Instagram and TikTok 
 walking away from toxic validation, fake perfection, and narcissistic energy.
Now I’m finally free. I don’t miss the drama. I don’t miss the chaos. And I can’t deny it I’m glad he’s gone. This song is my calm after the storm 
a quiet celebration of peace, growth, and the woman I’ve become. 🌙

🎵 Lyrics
[Verse 1] I deleted the pictures, but kept the lessons No more ghosts inside my mentions Used to run back when it hurt Now I walk away first

[Pre-Chorus] No bad blood, no blame Just tired of playing that game I don’t need to explain Healing doesn’t need fame

[Chorus] I unfollowed my past, now I follow my peace No more noise, just clarity All that pain set me free I unfollowed my past  now I’m me

[Verse 2] The best decision I made Was to quit Instagram and TikTok that day Instead of removing toxic names I removed the need for games
Now I’m free from their disguise No more mirrors, no more lies I see life beyond the screen Finally breathing, finally clean

[Bridge] They still scroll through old versions of me But I’m living where they can’t see No revenge, no more pain Just sunlight after rain

[Breakdown] I can’t deny I don’t miss that time But I’m so glad he’s not mine Toxic hearts don’t age like wine I left that mess behind

[Final Chorus] I unfollowed my past, now I follow my peace No more noise, just clarity All that pain set me free I unfollowed my past  now I’m me

[Outro] No hate, no shade Just a better upgrade I don’t chase, I attract And I’m never going back

Markus Hansen / mhmedia.de – Leg ne Pause ein

Die Anti-Hymne für unsere überreizte Zeit. 📵
„Leg ne Pause ein“ ist der dringende Aufruf, sich dem ständigen Lärm, der Konsumhysterie und dem Perfektionswahn des digitalen Alltags zu entziehen. Inmitten von News-Flut, Werbe-Bombardement und Social-Media-Stress liefert Markus Hansen den Soundtrack für den Digital Detox und die bewusste Auszeit.
Musikalisch überrascht der Song als eingängiger Deutsch-Pop mit einem energischen Rock-Einfluss und einem ungewöhnlich entspannten, minimalistischen Posaunen-Solo, das die Ruhe des Textes perfekt untermalt. Ein Song, der zum Nachdenken anregt und daran erinnert: Es ist okay, einfach mal offline zu sein.


Songtext

Leg ne Pause ein
Ich mach ne Pause Während alles um mich
Sich quält, abhetzt und rennt 
dabei innerlich verbrennt

Nichts kann mich stören
in dieser Zeit 
bin gelassen, frei und froh 
das ist nicht immer so

Ein Moment ohne Werbung 
die sich überall zeigt 
die schön, perfekt und heil ist 
was du nicht bist

Ich lege ne Pause ein Mach das Smartphone aus 
Ich leg ne Pause ein 
Setz mich irgendwo hin 
Ich leg ne Pause ein mach die Augen zu 
Ich leg ne Pause ein bis ich wieder ich bin


Kurze Nachrichtensperre 
Die uns überschwemmen 
erschrecken, nerven und quälen 
auf allen Kanälen

Eine Zeitlang Konsumfrei 
ohne Warenkorb 
Weder Prozente, Sale noch Angebot 
und auch kein Promocode

ch lege ne Pause ein Mach das Smartphone aus 
Ich leg ne Pause ein Setz mich irgendwo hin 
Ich leg ne Pause ein mach die Augen zu
 Ich leg ne Pause ein das macht wirklich Sinn

Solo (Minimalistisches Posaunen-Solo)

Ich poste gar nichts 
Will überhaupt nichts teilen 
weder Reel, Story oder Short 
Ich sage kein Wort

Leg ne Pause ein

Der Song beschreibt die zunehmende Entfremdung und Einsamkeit im digitalen Zeitalter. Menschen wirken wie Zombies vor Bildschirmen, ständig erreichbar, aber ohne echte Präsenz. Soziale Medien und digitale Kommunikation verdrängen reale Gespräche, Kreativität und gemeinsames Lernen leiden darunter. Es wird die Sehnsucht nach authentischen Begegnungen, echten Fehlern und analogem Leben deutlich, das im Offline-Sein beginnt. Der Text vergleicht das heutige digitale Leben mit früheren Zeiten, in denen soziale Bindungen und gemeinsames Erleben im Vordergrund standen, statt virtueller Vernetzung und oberflächlicher Kontakte. Das Lied fordert ein bewussteres Leben jenseits der Bildschirmwelt ein.
