The Itchy Quilt

Got to work with Marc Freak @marcfreak on this one after he foolishly offered to, in a comment on a track of mine. I spent a bit of time in London in the late eighties. Boy George was king, the food was still mostly bland and there were a million different rules for dress depending on where you went. Funny how sometimes things can be so foreign and familiar at the same time. I have lots of thoughts but I won't bore you. Oh and the music. I knew most of the bands but it did change my perception a bit to hear them in context. Thanks so much Marc for the singing, melody, lyrics and maybe some context. ;)
Lyrics:

PERFECT DREAM
Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire
Like a drug bust with a visible wire
But its worth it for the time that we spend
And I pray they don't end

All I crawled through has the skin busy itching
And my internet is permanently glitching
But I cannot bare the time we're apart
Its a trial of the heart

CHORUS
Is this just a perfect dream that's coming true?
I want to spend the whole of my brief life with you

When you're standing in darkness and a glimpse of light shines through
When you're lit up like a beacon
And although you are freaking I'm loving this dream come true
With you

And the time I have left grows ever shorter
I am drowning in invisible water
Its a failure on my part I can't swim
And the prospects look grim

There's a torch that ever shines in the distance
Hold my hands up - show no signs of resistance
I'm a prisoner of love 
I don't mind in fact I'm pleased to do time

CHORUS

When you're standing in darkness and a glimpse of light shines through
When you're lit up like a beacon
And everyone's peeking 
I'm loving this dream come true

Immortality (version lite)

For the joy of acoustic instruments.

I wrote this when I turned 35 and moved to the UK.
So grateful to have my good friend Johnson joining me - this really feels like a sweet acoustic jam, JR (@johnson-ramm)

JR: added guitars and added vocals
Me: vox, guitars, harmonica and other stuff

Middle of Life (Brian Peters)

I'm in the middle of life
So much has passed
I'm only 35
Save the best for last
Hey, riding through the middle of life

I'm in the middle of love
And I'm settling down
I can't get enough
It goes and comes around
Hey, riding through the middle of love

I'm in the middle of the world
Between the east and the west
And I'm riding the curve
Between the bad and the best
Hey, riding in the middle of the world

I'm in the middle of life
So much has gone
I'm only 35
But I'm moving on
Hey, riding through the middle of life

Middle of Life (w Johnson Ramm)

Bonetired

El sistema se hizo para servir a la gente, y no la gente servir al sistema.

The system was made to serve the people, and not the people to serve the system.

Das System wurde geschaffen, um den Menschen zu dienen, und nicht die Menschen, um dem System zu dienen.

The Dark Afterglow is an art project which was founded in 2011 by the austrian musician Alexander Herzog, born 1991. He writes, records and designs everything on his own as a one-man-factory. His songwriting is very spontaneous and instinctive. All tracks are written and recorded at his home with the most minimal equipment you could find to keep the truth of music at the highest point.
