Fische zählen im Meere
Kinderprotestlied

Was seid ihr für Spezies
Ja wisst ihr nichts Besseres 
Als uns zu belügen und betrügen
Es sei noch nicht zu spät

Zum Fische zählen im Meere
Deren Millionen Farben zu benennen
Mit Walen sein ganz ohne Schwere

Ja gibt es Beklopfteres
Behauptet ihr felsenfest
Dass wir noch das Klima drehen
Aber in Wahrheit ist‘s euch egal

Woll‘n Fische zählen im Meere 
Deren Millionen Farben zu benennen 
Mit Walen sein ganz ohne Schwere

Die beste Lösung, so schlicht sie klingt, ist
Leb den Augenblick, leb ihn jetzt
All die Wisser vergangner Welt
Die wussten’s schon, nur zeitversetzt
Das ist die Chance, die wir jetzt hab‘n
Wir sind ja nicht allein
Schauen wir was geht, es wird gut sein

Den Blick nach vorne nicht vergiss und
Leb den Augenblick, leb ihn jetzt
Mit Mut und Phantasie gelingt
Das alte Spiel, das aufs Leben setzt
Das ist die Chance, die wir jetzt hab’n
Wir sind ja nicht allein
Schauen wir was geht, es wird gut sein

Leb den Augenblick, leb ihn jetzt
Das alte Spiel, das aufs Leben setzt
Das ist die Chance, die wir jetzt hab‘n
Wir sind ja nicht allein
Schauen wir was geht, es wird gut sein

Ob die Meere noch zu retten sind? Die Erde? – Seid IHR eigentlich noch zu retten? (Was denkt ihr euch nur dabei?) Wegen eurem ewigen schnellen Geld soll die Erde langsam zugrunde gehen? Aber wir werden das schaffen! Weil wir sind anders, als ihr es ward, nämlich ... BESSER!!!!

Ihr seid nicht wirklich schuld
Uns fehlt einfach die Geduld
Ihr kennt’s auch nicht besser als eure Eltern
Und alle ward ihr blind

Woll‘n Fische zählen im Meere 
(Das Wasser ist zu trüb)
Deren Millionen Farben zu benennen 
(All das Plastik ist zu grell)
Mit Walen sein ganz ohne Schwere
(Die Tiere haben sich verloren)

Auf Tümmlern hechten über Wellen
(Bist Du denn schwindelfrei?)
Mit Seepferdchen blubbern in Blasen
(Drin ist nur Vakuum)
Auf Rochen um die Erde schnellen
(Geschwind sind die grad nicht)

Korallenriffe bauen mit Spaten
(Die Sandkiste ist gut genug)
Mit Keil und Beil verschieben die Tektonik
(Ganz heiß drauf wird niemand sein)
Mit Ebbe und Flut die Uhren beraten
(Die Uhren laufen ab)

Atolle furchen mit dem Dreizack
(Der Spieß rodet alles weg)
Des Poseidons, dem Käpt’n der Meere
(Als Letzter bleibt der an Bord)
Mit Zeus, seinem Bruder, im Kajak
(Gib acht, der wettert gerne los)

Woll‘n Fische zählen im Meere ... ...

Lyrics Adi Traar

Fische Zählen Im Meere (Counting fish in the sea)

Running Circles

With Rerun, Mayson invites listeners into a journey that’s as 
much a revisiting as it is a transformation. What began in the 
summer of 2019 as a burst of creativity—ten one-minute 
songs quickly captured and shared online—has evolved into a 
full-length album, meticulously woven through the threads of 
time, change, and return. Each track on Rerun is a 
conversation between past and present, where new 
experiences and perspectives respond to the raw inspiration 
of that nervous and exciting summer. Through his experience 
of leaving Minneapolis, returning to school, changing careers 
and finally coming back to both the city and his music, 
Mayson’s journey finds itself echoed in each song, creating a 
sense of déjà vu with fresh insight—like an episode you've 
seen before that feels both familiar and newly profound—a 
time capsule; a reprise; a Rerun!

Rerun Side B

Rerun Side A

This is about having had so many dreams and desires sat idle in the mind for a long time, but finally the master in the mind started to try and set the ideas free ("there's a thousand people in me").  When he does so he realises he has left it too long and many of the hopes had died, but...  luckily the musical one was still alive).

Breakout  (0100)  ft. Donna AI

https://the-lost-connection.com  is the place to learn about me and my history.  Although I am just a Warehouse Picker, I am also a songwriter/keyboard player (IPI.  1069682323).  I have written over 1000 song lyrics since 1989 and have released 12 albums.  My productions have never been good enough to promote and I'm happy being an unknown artist, writing and recording music for pleasure rather than as a professional.  In April of 2017 I created my own website.  If you are interested in my songs then please save and stream on internet streaming sites, such as YT Music and Spotify.   If you like my words then check out my book ‘The Words Behind The Music Volume One: Lost In Reality’.  There will be a 2nd book within the next year, The Other Ones Before (Then After).
 
I released my first album, 'Lost Property' in December 2019. In the following months I released 5 Best Of albums.  They contained 87 tracks which I'd recorded between 2011 -2019.  In March I decided to release another album of songs which I'd recorded on tape (1994 - 1998) although 'Love Music' was updated in 2018 and the poem , Arrival... In Due Time', was recorded to complete the 'Reality In Dreamland' story not long before the album release.  

'2020 Vision' was the last album release of 2020.  This contains the single 'Voluntary Redundancy' which is very significant in regard to the album and the year in general. 

The next album release was  'New Lost World 19-20-21' (released on 1-9-2021 and features songs recorded in that 3 year period) which does feature one song that was re-written in a collaborative format.  Many of the songs were recorded (or re-recorded) during my year break after redundancy.

Soon after my 9th album, I released 'The Lost & Found History', which was a duo that never had enough time to get ideas up and running, but the brief recording moments occurred and this album shows the results.  The recordings were done between 1999 - 2013, but a couple of the tracks were initially just music.  Lyrics were added and, in 2021, the vocals were added to complete the songs.  Other songs were meant to recorded but we never found the time.  

Progress was made during the COVID years and 'Whatever Happened' is an album that reveals the the results of attending a sync-writing course for 6 months; writing to briefs and collaborating.  It is mixed with personal, poignant and humorous songs.  it features lyrics from as far back as 1990. Before the release of the album 2 singles were promoted on Spotify: Won't Stop' and 'I Am Just Me'.  I am glad to reveal that the album will contain another version of 'Won't Stop' but called 'We Won't Stop' featuring Tim (the other half of The Lost & Found') on guitar and vocals (and co-writer of the music).

I may promote 'Voluntary Redundancy' from 2020 as I never gave it much exposure when first released.

Prior to focusing on my website and my  own releases I was in a heavy rock band...

At the beginning of 2013 I became the keyboard player with Innovator.    At the beginning of 2015, 'Time Is Running Out' but the first album was recorded before I joined the band.  'Spare Time' I introduced to the band and it was modified into an Innovator collaboration.  The song has been pre-recorded in it's original musical format , but lyrics amended since 2009 and is on '2020 Vision'.  A single was released on DistroKid in January 2016 for which I had a very big influence, called 'Southern Lady'.  It was a variation of a piece of music called 'The Lost And Found' recorded as a song many years before, but never released (as vocals not added until more recent years).  On this SoundCloud site I have deleted all the Innovator songs as I left the band in June 2017.  ‘Trapped Behind The Looking Glass’ was the 3rd album whi ch was released in August 2018,  on which I played on 6 of the songs and did backing vocals on ‘Dogs Of War’ (the deep chorus vocals).
