Next Life is a cheeky farewell dressed up in a funk groove — a sarcastic “see ya later” to a love that never quite fit. With sharp one-liners, swaggering bass, and a chorus that bites as much as it bounces, it’s a bitter goodbye you can dance to. It’s funk with a smirk and a middle finger.

Next Life

A high-energy, instrumental jazz-funk piece in a major key, featuring a prominent brass section, a walking bass line, and a driving drum beat. The tempo is upbeat, creating a lively and danceable feel. The primary instruments are a trumpet, trombone, saxophone, electric bass, and drum kit. The brass section plays a call-and-response melody, with the trumpet often taking the lead. The bass provides a consistent, rhythmic foundation with a walking pattern. The drums maintain a steady, syncopated groove with prominent hi-hat and snare work. Production elements include a clean mix with clear separation of instruments, and a slight reverb on the brass to add depth. The song structure is primarily verse-chorus, with instrumental breaks allowing for improvisation-like melodic variations within the brass section. There are no vocals present in this piece.

an anxious night at the hotel

Mmm, yeah…
You point your finger,
But I ain’t the only sinner.

You tell your friends I’m the one to blame,
Every little story, always my name.
But sugar, look who’s talking loud,
Acting so righteous, playing to the crowd.

You say you’re tired, you say you’re through,
But honey, I’m just as tired of you.

Shame on me? Are you kidding, girl?
You’ve been spinning lies all over the world.
Don’t play that saint, don’t twist the truth,
Shame on me? No, shame on you.

You cry at night, but it’s crocodile tears,
Drama on repeat for a couple of years.
You talk of vows, but you broke them first,
Pointing at me just makes it worse.

Don’t preach to me ‘bout love and pain,
When you’ve been running the same old game.

Shame on me? Are you kidding, girl?
You’ve been dancing lies in your shiny pearls.
I won’t chase, I won’t play the fool,
Shame on me? No, shame on you.

You throw the stone—
But your hands ain’t clean!
You wear the crown—
But you’re no queen!
We built this fire, both struck the match,
Now you’re crying ‘bout the scratch.

Shame, shame, shame… (uh-huh)
On who, on who? (not me, not me)
You say my name, (say my name)
But girl, look at you!

Shame on me? Are you kidding, girl?
You’ve been spinning lies all over the world.
I won’t beg, I won’t be your fool,
Shame on me? No, shame on you.

Mmm, shame on you…
Not me, girl…
Shame on you.

Shame on me ?!? (Motown reload)

Why would people hate you for offering a cure?
This slow-burning spiritual blues explores a timeless paradox: the most transformative teachings often provoke the strongest resistance. Inspired by the Lotus Sutra's prophecy of persecution and the delta blues tradition of singing truth through suffering, this song is both a warning and a medicine.
Featuring raw, soulful vocals, National steel guitar, Hammond B3 organ, and gospel harmonies, "Love Till Love's the Only Sure" walks you through darkness into light—from stones thrown to birds taking flight.
A parable. A prayer. A blues song about carrying impossible love through an impossible world.
65 BPM. D minor. Your heart, broken open.

[Verse 1 - Slow, Deep] 
Well the old physician rolled into town
Said, “I got medicine, gonna pass it around.”
“Ain’t no quick fix, no sugar-sweet lie,
One drop of this truth and you’ll never die.”

(Pause, low growl)
“But I’ll warn you, child—it cuts both ways.
This cure burns bright and it don’t obey.”

[Chorus - Call and Response] 
Why they gonna hate you for the cure? (Tell me, tell me)
Why they gonna hate you for the cure? (Lord, have mercy)
‘Cause truth don’t fit the story they adore—
That old story, Lord, they’re clingin’ for sure.

[Verse 2 - Building] 
There were three healers in that town,
One cooled fever, one calmed it down.
Built their names on what they knew—
Then came the stranger sayin’, “That ain’t true.”

“Y’all been teachin’ folks to cope,” said he,
“But hope’s the only remedy.”
“The sickness ain’t what you believe—
It’s the fear you won’t release.”

[Chorus] 
Why they gonna hate you for the cure? (Tell me, tell me)
Why they gonna hate you for the cure? (Lord, have mercy)
‘Cause truth don’t fit the story they adore—
That old story, Lord, they’re clingin’ for sure.

[Bridge - Speaking Blues Style] 
Now listen here...
The headache woman, she turned pale,
Thirty years of learning felt like fail.
“If pain ain’t my mountain, what’s left of me?”
She cried to the man by the healing tree.

He said, “Sister, I ain’t here to win—
I’m just showin’ you where health begins.”
“That fear you feel’s the final wound,
My medicine works there too—real soon.”

[Verse 3 - Intensity Rising] 
He called the young ones, said, “Gather ‘round,
This truth’ll cost you—dear and profound.”
“When you carry this medicine through the town,
Those old healers’ll try to strike you down.”

“They’ll call you fool, they’ll call you liar,
But love’s the flame that lights the fire.
When the stones start flyin’—don’t you hide,
That’s the moment faith’s been tried.”

[Big Chorus - Full Voice] 
Why they gonna hate you for the cure? (Tell me, tell me)
Why they gonna hate you for the cure? (Lord, have mercy)
‘Cause truth don’t fit the story they adore—
That old story, Lord, they’re clingin’ for sure.

[Verse 4 - Softer, Mystical] 
“You won’t be walkin’ all alone,
Every healer’s ghost will see you home.
Guardians fierce, soft as lullabies,
Keep watch beneath the mercy skies.”

"They'll keep your heart soft when the world gets hard 
They'll stand watch while you're standing guard" 
"And that attacker throwing stones at your head? 
That's your teacher in disguise," the old man said

[Verse 5 - The Teaching] 
"See, every curse word is a chance to be kind 
Every rejection is a way to refine" 
"That headache healer with the angry face 
She carrying the medicine too, just ain't found the place"

"Deep down inside where she's afraid to look 
That's where the healing is, that's the holy book" 
"And when she finally gets a pain won't quit 
She might remember you offered something different"

[Final Chorus - Resolution, Hope] 
Let ‘em hate you for the cure—love ‘em anyway,
Let ‘em hate you for the cure—sing while you pray.
Love what they can’t endure till daybreak’s pure,
Love till love’s the only sure.

Love Till Loves the Only Sure

"Good Seed" is a patient, grounding folk-blues meditation on the wisdom of tending life like a garden. With fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm harmonica, and call-and-response vocals, this song explores what it means to plant good seeds, give freely without demanding results, and learn from the spaces where nothing grows.

Drawing on timeless gardening wisdom and spiritual insight, this track reminds us that we can't force growth - we can only create the conditions and trust the process. Some seeds bloom in spring, some take years, and some teach us through their silence. The empty spaces in our garden hold wisdom just as profound as the flowers.

Perfect for anyone who's learning to work at a different pace, to give light without attachment, to honor both the blooms and the bare soil. A companion piece to the bardic tradition of carrying wisdom through song.

Key themes: Patience and trust • Learning from what doesn't grow • Giving freely like the sun • Garden wisdom • Letting go of control • Empty spaces as teachers • Scattering kindness like seeds

Lyrics: 
[Verse 1]
Got my hands in the dirt, got the sun on my face
Been learning to work at a different kind of pace
You can't pull on a seedling to make it grow tall
Sometimes the waiting is the wisest work of all

[Chorus]
Just plant good seed, tend the garden well
Give it light and water, let the seasons tell
Some will bloom in spring, some will take their time
And the ones that don't grow, well they teach you just fine
Plant good seed, let it be

[Verse 2]
I used to think that I could force my way through
Fight and push and make things do what I want them to
But the sun don't demand, and the rain don't command
They just give what they got, leave the rest in nature's hands

[Chorus]
Just plant good seed, tend the garden well
Give it light and water, let the seasons tell
Some will bloom in spring, some will take their time
And the ones that don't grow, well they teach you just fine
Plant good seed, let it be

[Bridge]
Every flower that don't bloom
Is teaching something true
Maybe wrong soil, maybe wrong time
Maybe it's making room for something else to shine
There's wisdom in the empty space
Where nothing shows its face

[Verse 3]
So I listen to the silence where the seeds won't grow
There's a message in the nothing that I need to know
Not everything's meant for every piece of ground
Sometimes letting go is the most fertile thing I've found

[Verse 4]
I'm just a gardener with a patch of earth and time
Scattering kindness like seeds along the line
Can't control the weather, can't command the spring
Just offer up my light and see what mercy brings

[Final Chorus]
Plant good seed, tend the garden well
Give it light and water, trust the story it will tell
Some will bloom tomorrow, some will take some years
And the ones that don't grow hold a wisdom just as clear
Plant good seed
Oh, plant good seed
And let it be

[Outro]
(Slow and peaceful)
Hands in the dirt, sun on my face
Learning to work at a different kind of pace
Plant good seed... and let it be

ARIRANG ROAD - Korean Folk Trap

This song is more than just music; it is a message for our time, and a heartfelt homage dedicated to the eternal spirit of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Decades ago, he taught us that to make a change, we must first start with the "Man in the Mirror." Today, that mirror has transformed. It is the glowing glass screen we hold in our hands, reflecting a world in pain, and reflecting ourselves, often watching in silence.

"The Man Behind The Screen" is the spiritual successor to that timeless anthem. It is a powerful 80s gospel-pop plea, confronting our modern apathy and the numbness we feel while scrolling past tragedy.

It asks us to look beyond the content, to see our own reflection in that dark screen, and to challenge the "man behind the screen"—ourselves—to finally feel, to speak up, and to Make That Change.

The Man Behind The Screen

'Velvet & Steel' slides from vinyl crackle into boom-bap swagger: upright bass walk, horn stabs, DJ cuts, and a smooth baritone chorus that scat-and-doo-wops the room into a swing. 

Rap verses deal the cards; the crooner seals the deal. Nightclub lights, gangsta grin, champagne hush — tip your bartender and don’t get cut.

KANTIBUS is an American producer/songwriter who has been creating songs since 1990.

It is a portmanteau of his first initial and last name. 

KANTIBUS started creating what would eventually become known as Drill or Trap Music, demonstrating expertise in both genres. 

As such, he is a pioneer of the "violent real life criminal" styles that exist still in the underground today. 

Listen!, I have alot to say!

I have been transposing music in Black Desert Online for years now, I am taking a break and trying something new!

AI-ASSISTED, multi-genre producer from Australia. I co-write concepts with chatGPT (I use AI mostly sanity check, style guides etc. the motives and core lyrics are my own), guide a Suno pass, then rebuild: swap/overdub parts, arrange, add, remove, mix & master, sound effects etc. 

References run from Level 42 and Mike Oldfield to KLF-era rave, drill, garage to the demoscene, I am not much of a fan of country and that hard core stuff, but everything else I <3

Music as a mirror: stories, satire, ideas, thoughts and feelings, From wit to absurdity, from glitch to groove, every track is an experiment in bending AI into something tangible.

If it makes you happy, then thats all that matters!

Music, Mystery, and the Multiverse of Michael Lemmer

Somewhere between a mountain echo and a memory of the future, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO hums.
It’s not just a label — it’s a living signal. A constellation of songs, poems, and visions beamed from the heart of the Rockies into every corner of the cloud.

This SoundCloud page is a crossroads — a place for wanderers and one-offs, sonic sketches and stray transmissions. Here drift fragments of the greater work: folk and funk, dream and data, dub and dawnlight. Every sound is part of a larger conversation — between art and accident, code and spirit, love and the long road home.

Founded by artist-producer Michael Lemmer, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO carries a simple mission: to keep the signal alive. The music, the words, the images — all vibrate from the same pulse. A celebration of life, love, and the strange electric hum that connects it all.

Tune in, drift wide, and listen closely.
Every track is a little transmission from the in-between.
