Beating Edge

Once upon an Alien rhyme
Five tifosi broke free from line
They feel with time
Paint BE melody
Easel frames morph to instrument hegemony

Seed of instinct
Sponges of love
Nicknames to normalize mystery glove
What spaceship
Andromedan Starseeds
Grounded in greatest transcendence knead

Vicious vampira
Vixen of vibrant
Brad beats on brains
Rolled rhythmically highest
Silence for D
It's bass bed were making
Maux moulds aid
Lucifer livened lyrical soul station

Grafting the good
Tuned life building blocks
Substance for sustenance outside most box
Harmonized clouds
More blue sky for crowds
Beating Edge grounds new galactic allowed

Food for our ears
The proof through tougue taste
Mood for our eyes
Fear finds loosened like lace
Paces for pathways
Heavy and high
Energy for us made on Earth from the sky

Beating Edge (Poem and Notes)

P-Billowing Grove

In the velvety night
As stars collide….

I hear your song
It brings my body to life
I feel your rhythm
... a celestial call

I’m drawn to you
As helpless as a moth
To a flickering beam of light
Like a spaceship…
Blasting….
From the earth’s atmosphere
Feel this gravity
Raise auditory desire
We’re dancing on the edge
Of a cosmic crime
Your touch on the deck
It ignites the dance floor
Like a supernova’s fire

My heart is lost
In musical desire

Feel the rhythm
Our bodies sway
Like 2 planets colliding
In one celestial wave

Our love’s the music
That echos through our space
A symphony of passion
That won’t go astray

Our love becomes the music
That echos throughout space
A symphony of passion
That won’t... go... astray

Blast off
Last flight from Mars
In the cosmic night
Where beats align
In the cosmic night
Where we are all one

DJ
I’ll save my soul for you
Forever entwined
In an infinite journey
An intoxicating aurore
Of heavenly harmony

It’s only in these moments
When I feel alive
When I feel alive
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

You’re my shining star
Your music is love

Last Flight From Mars

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a late-night improvisation in the early 1990s.
Cover: Oil painting by my wife Andrea

Happy Halloween.... the song is actually a tribute to Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople ..one of the best bands of the 70s....Ian is still rocking into his mid 80s..so I am the one with the rigor mortis clearly..go Ian go...
sound clips from 1931 Frankenstein movie
There are at least 8 Mott the Hoople Song titles in the lyrics


Rock N Roll Rigor Mortis

Roll Away The Stone                                        
God is calling, he's on the phone
He's got a glambam plan, one last stand        
Before they take you home                               

Spotlight shines in your face
You better put on a pair of Ian Hunter shades
I Wish I Was Your Mother, wish I was your father
Never could put you in your place

Hey, old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey, old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

Move your hips to the beat
Take a deep breath, unstick yourself from that seat
Shine a light through your pupil, of pure Mott the Hoople
To energise those ancient feet

Time to rise again
Like Lazarus, a comeback, this ain’t the end
You're one wild stiff, rockin all my riffs
Be careful how your body bends 

Hey old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

All The Way From Memphis               
The Golden Age Of Rock N Roll    
Elvis and the Whizz Kids                 
Ain’t no peace in the valley for the last patrol 

Drivin’ Sister, Jerkin’ Crocus
Help me When My Mind Is Gone
Do the shimmy shake, bring it into focus
Sing it loud this victory song

Chorus

It's alive!!! It's alive!!! It's alive!!!

Reflection of Dreams

Here's a very special song & video!! It was a collobaoration with Olga V. Glushakova from VerAeternum. I wrote the lyrics and she wrote the music, sang it, perfromed it, arranged it, basically did everything else! Check out her channel on YouTube, it's amazing! She is a magnificent songwriter and performer! A natural star! Link below!

  I sent Olga like 5 lyrics and she picked this one to compose the music for and did a great job! I love what she did to bring my lyrics to life! I had offered these lyrics to other musicans before but what she did with them was nothing short of fantastic! It was a wonderful experience, she's the best! As far as the lyrics go, they are quite simple and reflect all things about love and how when you're in love it's everywhere you look. On the billboards, in the movies, in a book, it's in the air!! Olga made it itno a modern sounding song! I think it's great and her and her team did a superb job with it.

I added a little musical build up at the begining of the video and then mixed her video into it. I hope everyone enjoys it and goes over to her channel and subscribe and support Olga, she is an amazing artist! Thanks for watching and take care everyone!

“I DON’T CARE WHY"

IT’S UP THERE ON BILLBOARDS,    
IN EACH BALLADEER’S SONG,   
AT CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY,      
OR JUST DRIVING ALONG, 
WHENEVER I’M CLOSE TO YOU,    
I FEEL IT STIRRING INSIDE,  
UNDER THE MOONLIGHT,     
IN STORMY OR SUNNY SKIES,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,        
      
WHILE DRINKING MY COFFEE,    
WHILE READING A BOOK,   
IT’S IN EVERY MOVIE,   
WHEREVER I LOOK,    
THAT FEELING COMES OVER ME,    
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES,    
CAN’T SEEM TO SHAKE IT,     
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,     
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,

WHILE I'M TAKING A SHOWER,  
HAVING MY LUNCH AT NOON,    
AT THE TOP OF EACH HOUR,    
IN EVERY PHASE OF THE MOON,   
WHAT A STRANGE ODD SENSATION,   
THERE’S JUST NOWHERE TO HIDE,    
I GUESS I’M IN LOVE?     
THAT MUST BE THE REASON WHY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,      
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,    
NO I DON'T CARE WHY,     
DON'T REALLY CARE WHY,    
I JUST DON'T CARE WHY.

"I DON'T CARE WHY" (Video - https://youtu.be/QrpLfWs-3is)

Wow, this is it, the final song I will be posting for the untitled album Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & the Wormling and I have been working on! We posted the first song, “Ghosting Out,” from this set on January 4, 2021. I started this set of 12 songs in 2020, during the pandemic, using demo tracks that Wou-Wou graciously allowed me to use. I can’t, yet totally can, believe that it took 5 years to finish and finally post all the songs. I am still not sure if all 12 songs will be included in the album since the total run time is about 43 minutes and I like albums to be a little closer to 30 minutes. We still also need to decide on the track sequence. Eventually the album will be posted the album on Bandcamp for free. 

I have written it many times before and I will write it again, it has been an immense pleasure and honor and blast to work with Sticknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on this set of songs. I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity.

Lyrics:

I don’t wanna have to do this
But I would be terribly remiss
If I just pretended to shoot and miss 
Maybe I could find somebody nobody’ll reminisce 
Maybe I could find somebody deserving the abyss 
The kiss of deaths sweet lips 
The heat of cold bullets
Rationally tearing you from the grips 
Of life meaningless in this soulless culture gone amiss 
I’ve been hunting these woods since my childhood 
Living as any self respecting and god fearing man should
sovereign and secured in responsibility for one’s own livelihood  
The devil wants you to believe in falsehoods 
and city life leads to no good
The heathens all had me misunderstood 
I wouldn’t want to be with them if I could

It feels like its been me and the bird forever now 
And i can’t allow myself to let him down 
I have him in my sight 
But there is two of ‘em 
Damn it 
What am I going to do with ‘em 
I’m going to have shoot both of ‘em 
I can’t leave a witness
Gotta move with swiftness 
At least this 
male’s a total stud 
and bird will pleased 
As he falls with a thud as his chest spews out blood 
and soil turns to mud
This is the right thing to do, isn’t it
After all I made an agreement 
I can’t permit 
Bird to throw a fit
or It’ll be me my head 
that sits on that wall 
And I really wouldn’t want him to leave me 
and be alone again
