Think positive. A danceable popsong sung by Lara. Written and recorded in Berlin / Germany.

Here are the lyrics:

[Intro]
Hey don't wanna be cool
Cool

[Verse]
Don't you dare walk away (ayyyy ayyyy)
I'm with you
Not her
But I left out the part
About my broken heart

[Chorus]
Oh baby stay
I need you tonight
No baby don't break my heart
Stay with me tonight

[Verse]
Someone must've broke your heart
Someone must've torn you down
What a long long way from the start
Now you're too scared of the sound

[Chorus]
Don't walk away
I need you tonight
No baby don't break my heart
Stay with me tonight

[Chorus]
Don't hold out on me
Baby
There's something you're hiding
I'll find out before you destroy us
Oh I can’t see the timing

Had a chance to catch up with former Orioles SS JJ Hardy on GCR after he spent some time down in Sarasota earlier this Spring as a guest instructor for the Orioles, we talked to JJ all about his time down in Florida around the team, and got his thoughts on the team, working with Jackson Holliday, Gunnar Henderson, the staff and why so much experience for a team that's still so young should pay off...

Chasing Winter's Light

Embrace the Chill

Thirty years young, sunshine on my face,
Traded spreadsheets for a brand new pace.
Packed my bags, said "adios" to the grey,
Headed south, where the good times play.
Passport stamped, a smile and a sigh,
Solo adventure 'neath the Spanish sky.
Sangria dreams and the ocean's soft roar,
Barcelona calling, what am I waiting for?

Cobblestone streets beneath my wandering feet,
A different rhythm, a vibrant, warm heat.
Tapas plates and laughter in the air,
No one to answer, just me and my care.
Learning phrases, a clumsy tongue tries,
Meeting faces with curious eyes.
Cathedral bells chime a melodic sound,
Peace in this moment, nowhere else bound.

Oh, España, you've cast your sweet spell,
A feeling of freedom I know very well.
This journey is mine, a chapter unfolds,
Stories whispered in hues of bright golds.
Let the breeze carry worries away,
Embracing the dawn of each brand new day.
This solo escape, a beautiful art,
Finding myself with a brand new start.

Waking slowly to sunlight so bright,
Balcony views, a glorious sight.
Sipping coffee, the world waking too,
Discovering corners, fresh and brand new.
Ancient stones hold secrets untold,
Brave conquistadors and stories of old.
The scent of citrus hangs heavy and sweet,
Simple pleasures my senses now greet.

Oh, España, you've cast your sweet spell,
A feeling of freedom I know very well.
This journey is mine, a chapter unfolds,
Stories whispered in hues of bright golds.
Let the breeze carry worries away,
Embracing the dawn of each brand new day.
This solo escape, a beautiful art,
Finding myself with a brand new start.

Maybe I'll meet someone, maybe I won't,
That isn't the reason, the seed that was sown.
It's about breathing, a powerful thing,
The joy that this Iberian air can bring.

Oh, España, you've cast your sweet spell,
A feeling of freedom I know very well.
This journey is mine, a chapter unfolds,
Stories whispered in hues of bright golds.
Let the breeze carry worries away,
Embracing the dawn of each brand new day.
This solo escape, a beautiful art,
Finding myself with a brand new start.

Sí... España... mi tiempo... my time...

From 1985 to 1995, Cowboy Cadence—Bruce Jahn, Kathy Trevelyan, Ben Fortescue, and Sarah Fortescue—operated as a fiercely independent musical ensemble. Committed to authentic self-expression, the group managed every aspect of their creative process in-house, from songwriting and performing all instruments and vocals to recording and mixing in our home setups, all without external producers, writers, or engineers. This autonomous approach allowed our unique vision to come through in our diverse repertoire of Country, Children’s, and Comedic music. While primarily focused on recording, Cowboy Cadence also shared our distinctively homespun sound through live performances at local fairs and community venues but never done live events to avoid the stardom involved in music.

Aurosa Music is a dynamic musical project born from a passion for creating diverse and captivating sounds. While our journey began with the live band project TimeLyne in 2019 under HappyWave Music Production, the unforeseen challenges of the pandemic led to a new beginning.
From a concept centered around the synthesized voice of Rosa, the addition of Earl’s vocals inspired our name, Aurosa, and a broadening of our musical horizons. Initially exploring country music, our sound has evolved into a rich tapestry of genres, blending authentic vocals and instrumentation with the innovative possibilities of modern music software.
Based in the Netherlands and supported by our own label, HappyWave Music Productions, we handle every aspect of our music, from crafting the first note to the final master. Recently, the incredibly talented Eva Reis joined our collective, bringing her vocal and piano prowess to enrich our Dutch repertoire and further expand our musical landscape. We’re excited to share our music and connect with you on this ongoing creative adventure.

octave plateau – music by Gerhard Andreas Schreiber

Gerhard Andreas Schreiber. Since the 1980s,  composing and producing music under the name octave plateau. What began in the shadowed clubs of the post-punk era and the neon-lit pulse of the Neue Deutsche Welle has grown into a lifelong journey through diverse soundscapes and emotions.

Back then, working with artists like Markus, capturing the spirit of a generation in transition – between analog grit and melodic futurism. But the musical path didn’t stop there.

Today, octave plateau bridges four distinct yet emotionally intertwined genres:

Smooth Jazz – music like warm light on late-night streets; gentle grooves, atmospheric chords, and melodies that breathe and linger. It’s the sound of reflection and release, crafted with subtlety and soul.

New Wave – shimmering synths, melancholic harmonies, and rhythm-driven storytelling. A style rooted in the 80s, but constantly reinterpreted to reflect the tension and beauty of the now.

Deutscher Schlager – emotional, melodic, and lyrical. I approach this genre with both respect and reinvention – drawing from its traditions while reshaping its form for contemporary ears.

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) – raw, ironic, and rhythmic. NDW has always been the rebellious heart of octave plateau, combining German lyrics with electronic textures, punk aesthetics, and a dose of playful absurdity.

In 2024, these songs – some newly written, others rediscovered and reimagined – are being produced in the octave plateau studio in Berlin. Here, the past and the present meet in harmony and friction. Analog synthesizers hum alongside digital clarity. Stories unfold in every track – sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a sigh.

octave plateau is not just a musical alias. It’s a lifelong project, a personal archive, and a sonic playground. Welcome to a place where genres speak to one another – and where every note has a memory.
