Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Durch die Straßen grauer Zeit
Weht ein Echo lang verklungener Tage
Lang verklungener Tage
Und die Sehnsucht macht sich breit
Nach dem Lachen, das ich in mir trage
Das ich in mir trage

Jugendträume, leicht und klar
(Träume, leicht und klar)
Tanzen wie ein Sommervogelpaar
(wie ein Vogelpaar)
Schweben durch den Nebel meiner Jahre
(durch die Jahre)

Doch das Echo des Vergessens
Weht wie Herbstlaub durch die Zeit
(durch die Zeit)
Und die Spuren des Vermissens
Zeichnen Bilder der Vergänglichkeit
(der Vergänglichkeit)

In der Stille dieser Stadt
Treffen Welten aufeinander
(Welten aufeinander)
Was einst Kraft und Klarheit hat
Wird nun fremd und immer distanzierter
(immer distanzierter)

Zwischen Gestern und Heute
Tanzt ein Lichtstrahl durch die Nacht
(durch die Nacht)
Was die Zeit uns einst bedeutet
Wird durch jeden Schritt erwacht
(neu erwacht)

Und das Echo des Vergessens
Wird zur Brücke dieser Zeit
(dieser Zeit, dieser Zeit)
Aus den Schatten des Vermissens
Wächst ein neuer Weg zur Wirklichkeit
(zur Wirklichkeit)

In der Stille dieser Nacht
Find ich mehr als nur nach Haus
(mehr als nur nach Haus)
Was verloren schien, erwacht
Ich freue mich darauf
(freue mich darauf)

English translation:
Through the streets of gray time
An echo of long faded days blows
Long faded days
And the longing spreads
For the laughter that I carry within me
That I carry within me

Youthful dreams, light and clear
(Dreams, light and clear)
Dancing like a pair of summer birds
(like a pair of birds)
Floating through the mist of my years
(through the years)

But the echo of oblivion
Blowing through time like autumn leaves
(through time)
And the traces of missing
Draw pictures of transience
(of transience)

In the silence of this city
Worlds meet
(worlds meet)
What once had strength and clarity
Now becomes strange and more and more distant
(more and more distant)

Between yesterday and today
A ray of light dances through the night
(through the night)
What time once meant to us
Is awakened by every step
(reawakened)

And the echo of oblivion
Becomes the bridge of this time
(this time, this time)
From the shadows of missing
A new path to reality grows
(to reality)

In the silence of this night
I find more than just home
(more than just home)
What seemed lost awakens
I am looking forward to it
(looking forward to it)

my futile attempt at transcendence despite the wise teachings of Ram Dass (aka Richard Alpert), whose insightful words bookend this song


Get Lost  

Gonna take a trip inside myself                                                
To find serenity
It’s not a place I know so well
But it’s where I’m taking me
I start this meditation
Close my eyes and count to ten
Lose myself and take a breath 
Repeat it once again

I get lost, get lost
Then I think too much and grok it up
My mantra just got tossed
Get lost, get lost
Conscious seething, breathing
Got my toes and fingers crossed

Drive the coast to Big Sur
A former hippie way
Timmy Leary, Dicky Alpert
What do those mushrooms say?
Well, Timmy went to prison
And Dicky changed his name
And me I go in circles
I can’t understand my brain

Get lost, get lost
Albert Hofmann’s in the kitchen
He can cook that secret sauce
Get lost, get lost
I wanna reach the 5th dimension
Go beyond my permafrost
                                                                                         
OOHH  the infinite beauty
OOHH the infinite me
OOHH the intoxication
Oh don't do don't do
 just be…. Let It Be

Ram Dass, the Dali Lama
Baba is my name
Yogacise don’t moralize
I play the Buddah game
Psilocybin take me higher
Mother Earth I feel her near
Holds me in her sunshine
I dissolve and disappear

Get lost, get lost
Then I think too much and grok it up
My mantra just got tossed
Get lost, get lost
I wanna reach the 5th dimension
Go beyond this permafrost



Get Lost

J'ai le plaisir de partager avec vous mon morceau - Thallo
Issu de mon nouveau set
Projet intimiste jazzy/rock/blues/funk/hiphop, qui jongle entre old school et modernité, porté par un son de guitare rond, vivant, chaud, organique
Ici l'objectif est d'arpenter des terrains cosys, calmes et poétiques.

Thallo

two feelings in one, thanks for listenin...I like the second feeling the most...each to their own. I would love to hear ur comments positive or negative...I love feedback


IF YA DIRTY

Edge Of Your Seat (2004)

Note: (As a personal protest I'm not doing the below anymore even if the technique works. I read one great artist questioning another great artists authenticity and I found that pretty shit and it's the way we are currently embracing ai that's to blame. So I ain't feeding the beast at all anymore. However I will leave it here as a mark to as much of it as I ever justified in my head) (FUCK the way humans are dealing with AI)

AI voice modeling is a phenomenal way to practice this and hone your voice. I'm not for a second suggesting use it in the result of a piece of art however as a tool to train your good self. Absolutely 

AI can model your voice at different ranges and make you sound real. The nuances of your own unique delivery are brought across so you can actually use this to become your own amazing frame of reference to sing with and improve your own material in the sense you end up closer to what you can imagine given your expanded ability and range you've delivered yourself with modern and very specific practice. It's particularly handy if you are attempting something for the first time. Pitch shifting with the correct subtle gradual movement to the range you struggle in can be a way of getting there. During the process you retain that confidence of enjoying a solid performance and don't get frustrated doing it wrong while trying to train the muscles to be able to actually get there. We inspire ourselves in every musical moment by staying inspired and it sounding good for me is an important part of staying lasered to that instinct which allows you to deliver your best everytime. Maybe it's me but if an idea is running flat... I forget it and move on... So in that light this is a great way of staying ahead of that dagger that might have you doubting yourself 

This is a good example in my opinion of using the tool to become more creative and not the opposite like a lot of people do. If the tool makes art for you ,you are a tool as we would say in Ireland. Use the tool then You are an artist...
