geschrieben 1998, nur mit Klavier und Papier.

Die Welt war noch anders, oder nicht?
Damals bekam eine rechte Partei gerade viel Zulauf, wie die AFD heute. Was trieb die Leute dazu? War es Angst, Neid, Hass?
Das Lied ist ganz klar kein Gutheißen dieser Situation und erst recht nicht der Gräueltaten 60 Jahre vorher! Nur ein Versuch zu verstehen.

Musikalisch etwas im Geist der Dark Wave, aber eigentlich nur Piano-Pop 🎶

Mein Traum

Ein Tribut an die beste Piratenband der Welt aus dem karibischen Osnabrück:
Mr. Hurley und die Pulveraffen

Teile des Textes und der Melodien sind musikalische Zitate von Liedern von "Mr. Hurley und die Pulveraffen"

An Bord

Ein kleiner nicht ganz ernst zu nehmender Song mit einer Spur goldene 20er Feeling, inspiriert durch eine wundervolle Dame.

Fisimatenten

A Story about the never ending circle of revenge.

Lyrics:

[Strophe 1]
Ravenblack was the night,
when the Raven  called.
dark Raiders  came,
and burned my  home.
The sounds of their horses,
it rings in my ears.
I still see friends bleeding,
for help they were crying.

[Refrain]
Paladin of midnight,
Paladin of moonlight,
Paladin of darkness,
Black Paladin! 

You have seen the violence,
the murders, heard the silence.
Avenge us on those Raiders!
Black Paladin! 

[Strophe 2]
I was pale with fright, 
saw my village mauled.
Fled from blood and flames,
and began to roam
the lands without courses,
my heart drowned in tears.
So I pondered grieving,
who sent my friends dying?

[Refrain]

[Strophe 3]
Once a castle came to sight, 
there my roaming stalled.
They told me I could learn to aim, 
just had to fight in some of their  wars.
I joined their armed forces,
for nineteen long years.
Preparing and scheming,
I had to keep trying!

[Refrain]

[Bridge]
The weapon master taught  me
how to wield a sword,
to draw it only in the name of justice
as a warrior for my lord. 
But the voices I heard deep inside,
each night they begged and cried.
To find those vicious Raiders,
and kill them all on sight! (on sight, … as a)

[Refrain]

[Strophe 4]
One fine day, met a knight,
a few beers and he told
whence the raiders came.
Named the village, they called home,
We rode there, remorseless
wrought havoc, so fierce,
we slaughtered the fleeing,
it was terrifying

(no one - no one could have survived this - what if one did?)

[Refrain 2] 
Paladin of midnight,
Paladin of moonlight,
Paladin of darkness,
Black Paladin! 

You’ve become the violence,
You murdered out of silence.
And now you are the Raider!
Black Paladin!

Black Paladin

A song about how far you sometimes have to go to get what you want.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I was walkin’ down the road
  of this godforsaken town
Wasn't lookin’ for some trouble,
  But it follows me around.
When I stepped into the room
  saw you waitin’ at the bar
Then I knew that all my troubles
  Hadden gotten me very far

And I said hey
  I gonna go my way
    Down to hell

[Verse 2]
Hell is not a place near heaven
  It's the way of live your choose,
All the stupid things you do
  Once you got nothin’ left to loose.
I should say: are you still livin’
  or do you cater for the dead
Break out of your comfort prison
  risk a little thrill instead
  
And you’d say hey
  A wanna go your way
    Down to hell

[Bridge]
The good folks say go down on your knees and pray
You know I wouldn’t do it another way
But while I’m praying down on my knees
Would you like me to baby
  please please please you?

[Verse 3]
Why’d you have to look so pretty
  in tight blue jeans and leather boots
servin’ beer and booze and smiles
  to all those ragtag redneck brutes?
I couln’t help but think aloud
  of all the games I wanna play with you
Would you wanna miss the fun
  letting none of it come true

But you said hey
  You wanna f*ck with me?
    Go to hell

[Outro]
So this is where I’ll go
  all the way
    down the road
  all the way
    down the road
  all the way
    down to hell

Sinister Street

Für Immer Ab Jetzt

Dieses Lied habe ich geschrieben, nachdem ich von einem Flugzeugabsturz geträumt habe. Danach wusste ich, dass ich mich trennen muss. Es geht darum, aus alten Kreisläufen auszubrechen und neue Wege einzuschlagen - radikal und jetzt!

ENG: When I was about 16 years old I started writing my own songs with the piano. About 20 years later, as the pandemic hit I took the time to finally grab a guitar and also decided to record some of my old stuff. This page allows me to share all that stuff with people, who want to listen.
Enjoy listening ;)

DEU: Als ich 16 Jahre alt war habe ich angefangen eigene Lieder am Klavier zu schreiben. Etwa 20 Jahre später, als die Pandemie angefangen hat, habe ich mir die Zeit genommen endlich etwas mehr Gitarre zu lernen und ebenfalls den alten Kram aufzunehmen. Auf dieser Seite teile ich die Ergebnisse davon gerne mit allen, die gern zuhören wollen.
Viel Spaß beim Zuhören ;)
