DoRight

Never have a care or want
Sing out a playful tune
By the famed authority 
Of the silver spoon

Weave the Ring
Dosado 
Alamo style

Fortunes of the pedigree
Afforded to few
Among peers so cavalier 
The devil gets his due 
 
Do right
Do right to
Do right
Do right to you
Do right
Do right to
Do right
Do right to you
  
Ladies In
Men Sashay
Couples Trade
Wheel and Deal 
Yea

Write the rules for all the fools
With style and a smile
Another game played without shame 
Leaving all beguiled

Bend the Line
Ferris Wheel
See Saw 

A never ending story
Of natural selection
For all the fame and glory
And progression of succession  

Do right
Do right to
Do right
Do right to you
Do right
Do right to
Do right
Do right to you 

Spin the Top
Walk and Dodge
Box the Gnat 
Shoot the Star 
Yea

DoRight

Still think positive
When nothing seems to work out fine 
And nothing happens at the right time
Your visions blurred, and what you see 
Is only pain and misery 
Your words don’t come out easely
Your thoughts are toxic, don’t you see
You need to change this right away
Even when you have no strenght
The wind comes from the wrong direction 
take a deep breath, smile and fight
try to rewire and inspire,
Believe, have faith,
Have confidence 
Turn frustration into action 
See it as an opportunity
Change how you think reshape what you see

still think positive (collab paploviante)

A Huge Thank You to my dear collaborator Frans Beelaard https://soundcloud.com/user-936947521 . I had send him this song in my version and it came back like this… :)
He played a bass line, 2 guitars, one lead and one rhythm. Also included is an acoustic drum track with 22" Zildjian ride & crash cymbals & tambourine and an acoustic piano track.
On top of that he also mixed and mastered the whole thing.
A great honor and pleasure for me.

The lines (edited, translated, modified, revised, retranslated, reedited…) originally derived from verse shards by two German poets: 
Stefan George (1868-1933), „Albagal“, 1892 and 
Durs Grünbein (born 1962), “Porzellan: Poem vom Untergang meiner Stadt“, 2006 and „Bericht von der Ermordung des Heliogabal durch seine Leibgarde“, 1999
I glued these verse shards together with a refrain.

During my research on porcelain I came along Kin Tsugi, a Japanese form of art, putting broken porcelain back together again. The picture shows such a piece.

Smashed Porcelain

1
Descend once more into the air-raid shelter. 
Observe:
Your ancestors, crowded together, in their final attire,

Comrades, hostages to mass hysteria,
How they curse, sob, 
Just moments ago uninhibited,
When the Führer arrived in the Mercedes of the Messiah.

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Man…
How long ago was that, you ask ?

2
Oh, I’m descending a marble staircase.
A headless body lies in the middle. Once again.
There, the blood of my dear brother seeps out.
I gently gather up my purple train.

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Gee…
How long ago was that, you ask ?

3
Oh, oh, ohh…
Only 
Caesar didn't care ´bout anything. 
As he watched with glee 
When Rome sank to ruins 
Like a tourist from overseas…

How long ago was that, you ask ?
Well…
How long ago was that, you ask ?


4
Why complain, latecomer ? 
The city long gone before you were there 
Ahh, those teary eyes - 
They’re different from grey hair-air-air…

How long ago was that, you ask ? 
Gee…
How long ago was that, you ask ?
Oh folks, I can't say.						

The only Word
For „Gone Forever“
Is „Today“.

My first 'cover', 2x1 ;) This song is made of variations from the songs 'Bookends' and 'Scarborough Fair', by Simon & Garfunkel. It combines their melodies and chords on 3/4, 6/4. 9/4 & 5/4 signatures, all in medieval folkie mood, no drums also.

Lyrics:

Dudurududu
So many plans were made
Dudurududu
A lot that was ment to happen
Dudurududu
But it didn't turn out as you thought
Dudurududu
Long time ahead ,became too short

What may feel right to you today
May feel wrong to you tomorrow
What makes you laugh at this moment
Can suddenly turn into sorrow

Dudurududu
A direction was chosen
Dudurududu
It was supposed to go straight ahead
Dudurududu
But something got in the way
Dudurududu
A u-turn suddenly appeared

What may feel right to you today
May feel wrong to you tomorrow
What makes you laugh at this moment
Can suddenly turn into sorrow

Dudurududu
Dudurududu

What's the point of making all these plans
If you're no longer there to enjoy them?
You know about today
But nothing about tomorrow

What may feel right to you today
May feel wrong to you tomorrow
What makes you laugh at this moment
Can suddenly turn into sorrow...

Life Is Now

[Verse]
Sous la voûte immense des étoiles
Chaque battement murmure une histoire
Le vent danse il t'appelle sans voile
[Chorus]
Aimez aimez tout le reste n'est rien
Les cœurs s'ouvrent comme des jardins
Tout l'univers obéit à l'amour enfin
[Verse 2]
Les rivières chantent aux âmes perdues
Un frisson court quand tout est vu
Le monde attend que tu sois ému

« Combien peu de chose il faut pour le bonheur ! Le son d'une cornemuse. Sans musique la vie serait une erreur. » 
(Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche)

Titre : Éloge de l'amour
Poète : Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695)
Recueil : Les Amours de Psyché (1669).
Tout l'Univers obéit à l'Amour ;
Belle Psyché, soumettez-lui votre âme.
Les autres dieux à ce dieu font la cour,
Et leur pouvoir est moins doux que sa flamme.
Des jeunes coeurs c'est le suprême bien
Aimez, aimez ; tout le reste n'est rien.

Sans cet Amour, tant d'objets ravissants,
Lambris dorés, bois, jardins, et fontaines,
N'ont point d'appâts qui ne soient languissants,
Et leurs plaisirs sont moins doux que ses peines.
Des jeunes coeurs c'est le suprême bien
Aimez, aimez ; tout le reste n'est rien.

Jean de La Fontaine.

The Rain Remembers

[Verse 1]
The air is thick with sorrow
your scent still stains the sky
drops fall on my shoulders
like a beat asking me to forget
through alleys thick with secrets
I chase the ghost of you—
the rain becomes my confession
and every breath feels new

[Pre-Chorus]
I built you out of memory
from the ash and the bloom 
Now every storm that finds me
smells faintly like your bedroom

[Chorus]
The rain remembers—
sighs and perfume
It falls in patterns
where your shadow hid
each drop a heartbeat
each touch a sin—
the rain remembers
where we’ve been

[Verse 2]
The night drips off the lamplight
the streets vacant soft and low
your influence drifts on the water
where lost desires go
I bottle what’s left of hope
the scent of rain and grief—
a fragile fleeting potion
that never brings relief

[Pre-Chorus]
You fade like vapour through jasmine
I breathe but not enough—
to lose you is to loiter
in the violence of love

[Chorus]
The rain remembers—
sighs and perfume
It falls in patterns
where your shadow hid
each drop a heartbeat
each touch a sin—
the rain remembers
where we’ve been

[Bridge]
I tried to keep you
in a whiff of air—
a breath of forever
a worship I couldn’t wear

[Final Chorus]
The rain remembers—
and so do I
you fade soft and cruel
each drop a heartbeat
each fall a cry—
the rain remembers
and pulls me in each time—
the rain remembers

The Rain Remembers

Il a croisé son regard perdu
Un feu naissant dans l'inconnu
Elle dansait comme une illusion
Un mirage doux dans cette chanson
[Chorus] 
Sous les lumières du disco
Tout s'efface dans le tempo
Oh
Les cœurs battent à l'unisson
Sous les lumières
Sous les néons

Rencontre au disco

You Liked Me Loud

(Neo-Soul / Alt-R&B – 70 BPM – Intimate, smoky, post-midnight)

[Verse 1]
You liked me loud —
gold on my teeth, sin in my sound.
You liked the crowd
singin’ my name while you played the proud.
But when the lights went down,
and my heart turned small,
you disappeared
like you weren’t there at all.


---

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You said you loved my fire,
but never learned the quiet burn.
You kissed me through the wire,
never waited for the turn.


---

[Chorus]
You liked me loud — not deep.
Loved the noise, not the need.
You danced with my chaos,
but ran from my peace.
You liked me wild — not true.
Just the mirror, not the view.
I was music you could feel,
but never listen to.


---

[Verse 2]
You liked the rush —
my eyes red, my laughter lush.
You liked the hush
right before I’d break and blush.
But when I whispered real,
you looked away —
guess truth don’t groove
the way I swayed.


---

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You said I made you feel alive,
but only when I screamed.
You never heard the silence
that carried what I mean.


---

[Chorus 2]
You liked me loud — not kind.
Loved my mouth, not my mind.
You stayed for the sparks,
but never the smoke.
You liked me open — not whole.
Just the fever, not the soul.
You left when the song
finally broke.


---

[Bridge – whispered, close-mic’d]
You called me wild,
but it was you who roared.
You loved the stage,
but not the chords.
You don’t get applause
for love that fades —
only echoes
in the sound you made.


---

[Final Chorus – stripped back, intimate]
You liked me loud — not long.
Loved the verse, not the song.
You heard the heat,
but missed the ache.
And I stayed soft
for my own sake.


---

[Outro – near silence]
Now I hum
what you forgot to hear.
And in the quiet —
I disappear.

(soft inhale, faint tape hiss… then nothing)
