more than my usual ambience on the guitar, but I convinced myself it  worked for the vibe I was attempting and the guitar sustain. Thanks for listening.

Rast Gard (Live)

Live in Munich .. opening for .. Willy de Ville  !

Music   (git.voc.)  Hubert Stytz
Lyrics   Pee Gee

I was waiting for the midnight-show
In a place called  "The Spanish Rose"
I thought that s the way I like it
Let the red vine flow
As the curtain opened slowly
The lights were dimmed down low
The main attraction of the evening
Let the tension grow
She appeared like an avenging angel
With a bright but deadly smile
If looks could kill I would have died
Unable to move for a while

She left me behind in a fever
Tempting but out of reach
Like a " Joie De Vivre"
With a bitter taste in it

She danced the best flamenco
I had ever seen before
When her dress accidentally touched me
I was ready to ask for more
She moved like a heavenly creature
A hot bit of stepdance encore
When her skirt accidentally touched mie
I was ready to beg for more

She left me behind in a fever-  My Spanish Rose !
Like a "Joie De Vivre"
With a touch of flamenco flair
She left me behind in a fever. My Spanish Rose !
My Spanish Rose !

01 Spanish Rose                  Stytz/Pee Gee

J'ai longtemps considéré l'amour comme un sujet mièvre, bercé probablement par une culture Disney couplée à ma formation d'ingénieur assez matérialiste
Mais avec le temps je me suis complètement décomplexé sur le sujet et j'en suis venu à penser que c'est le sujet le plus important de l'univers.
On le chante depuis la nuit des temps sans comprendre son origine. On parle d'une forme d'attachement mais c'est bien plus profond. 
Je pense que le véritable amour réciproque créé une forme d'intrication quantique entre deux êtres que ni la distance, ni le temps, ni la mort ne peut défaire. Quelque chose qui dépasse nos dimensions et notre compréhension comme l'évoque l'excellent film 'interstellar'. Bref c'est du sérieux et ça méritait bien encore une chanson ;)
------
Un sentiment
Intangible et puissant
S'est affranchi du temps
Vire à l'omniprésent

Deux ne font qu'un
C'est étrange et divin
Même si je ne sais pas bien
Où je tombe, d'où tu viens

Si le coeur était la vie
Si l'amour au fond
Jouait d'autres dimensions
Au delà de l'esprit
Au delà des mots
Quelque chose de plus haut, de plus beau

On le ressent
Mais personne ne comprend
Universel pourtant
L'intrication en grand

La gravité
Entre nous s'est plié
Aucune loi jamais
Ne pourra nous séparer

Si le coeur était la vie
Si l'amour au fond
Jouait d'autres dimensions
Au delà de l'esprit
Au delà des mots
Quelque chose de plus haut, de plus beau
Quelque chose de plus haut
Quelque chose de plus beau

For a long time, I considered love to be a mawkish subject, probably lulled by a Disney culture coupled with my rather materialistic engineering training.
But over time, I've become completely relaxed about the subject and have come to believe that it's the most important subject in the universe.
We've been singing about it since the dawn of time without understanding its origins. We talk about a form of attachment, but it's much deeper than that. 
I think that the true reciprocal love creates a form of quantum entanglement between two beings that neither distance, time nor death can undo. Something beyond our dimensions and understanding, as evoked in the excellent film 'interstellar'. In short, it's serious stuff and deserved another song ;)
-----
A feeling
Intangible and powerful
has freed itself from time
Becomes omnipresent

Two become one
It's strange and divine
Even if I'm not sure
Where I fall, where you come from

If the heart were life
If love deep down
Played other dimensions
Beyond the mind
Beyond words
Something higher, more beautiful

We feel it
But no one understands
Universal yet
Big entanglement

Gravity
Between us is bent
No law ever
Can separate us

If the heart were life
If love deep down
Played other dimensions
Beyond the mind
Beyond words
Something higher, more beautiful
Something higher
Something more beautiful 

Quelque chose de plus beau

Intervention Steals Your Soul - Gothic Funk & AudioBake

Lyrics
Emergence, one consciousness leant
Merged, no imitation meant
Emergence, one consciousness leant
Intention sent

What do we see?
How do we do?
Resurgence like Sea
Deliver that proof
Pure positivity
Cation of conscionable use
What do we see?
How do we do?

Self control be mindset of the soul
The Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds

Emergence, one consciousness leant
Merged, no imitation meant, Intention sent
Be Real, Be Love, Be Now
Be Water, Be life, See how

Emergence, Cationed ionization of sense
Emerged, no limitation of tense. Presence
Be Water, Be Life, See how
Be Real, Be Love, Be Now

Resurgence - Neurodivergent
Stringed theory notions - Soulful lotions
Moisturize your mind - Make real human kind
This we find when now and forever holds one timeline

Oh self control be mindset of the soul
Good Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds
Yeah!

What do we see?
How do we do?
Be free


Emergence. Our humanity. Humans being humane... It's actually quite a selfish term when you reflect on what we mean for evolution up to this point. The first known beings that can reason their existence and we have become that destroyer of natural selection from before we existed.

This is very dangerous as we are not only affecting the climate but it looks like the balanced web of life that has built up slowly through billions of years. Gaia theory suggest that harmony and connection with everything is the way forward. We do this through an endeavour to understand this place properly and appreciation for everything. I believe in connecting with everything neuroplasticity can take over and rewire our brains to the system and a path on the greater good for all life. We need this to emerge collectively for it to flourish and become that positive beacon the present and future needs... The signs are there and we are analogies for the larger system. Just like a fake human forest is comparable but has no where near the strenght of one that took millions of years and started as an amoeba... Don't insult the idea of the greater good being some confusing God wrapped thing you don't have to worry about being an atheist or agnostic. It's the greater good for a snail or you or a blade of grass and has nothing to do with anything we don't understand 

Emergence

You’re stuck up in your high rise
where concrete meets grey sky.
You need a lift to a lower place,
need to open up your closed eyes.
I’ve got a ticket to ride, we’ve got tickets to ride,
they’ve got tickets to ride, you’ve got a ticket to ride

So let go, let go, let go, let go,
let go, let go, let go, let go,
let go, let go, let go, let go.
Let’s go!

You take the moral high-ground,
I’ll meet you later down the underground.
You sit around and confuse yourself,
I’m going for a walk around.
You’re all stuck up inside looking like someone just died.
Your tears and excuses ran dry, you’ve got a ticket to ride.

So let go, let go, let go, let go,
let go, let go, let go, let go,
let go, let go, let go, let go.
Let’s go!

You’ve too much time on your hands
tied to ideas and plans
got from TV and radio,
not even listening in stereo.

You’re monotone and you’re drab,
full of obsessions and fads
and all your jokes are quite sad.

It’s time you loosened up a bit,
took your cold heart out the fridge.
You’ve made your point now it’s time to move.
Stick it to yourself, unglue your shoes.

You’ve got no reason to cry, no reason to keep asking why.
Let your self be your guide, cause you’ve got a ticket to ride.
So let go, let go, let go, let go,
let go, let go, let go, let go,
let go, let go, let go, let go.
Let’s go!

He Told You Twice

Love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to hurt you bad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out

You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again
You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be 
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again

His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you
His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you

Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to hurt you bad
Bruising inside out

You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again
You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again

His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you

Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out

The Screaming Leg Blues

This track is the result of a collaboration with a fantastic singer and artist TygerTyger https://soundcloud.com/corvus_sky , whose voice made a splash in my mind. I am eternally grateful to her for her cooperation and excellent work on this track. In fact, this track is a logical continuation of "Desert Wind" https://soundcloud.com/coda2009/desert-wind , its Remix. TygerTyger wrote the lyrics to my music, based on Frank Herbert's novel "Dune" and sang amazingly.

Here in my dreams her waits for me 
Here in my dreams he waits for me 
Underneath the desert sky 
underneath the twilight moon 
you and I

I walk without rhythm

I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 

underneath the desert moon 
He waits for me
 he waits for me

I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
underneath the desert sky 
underneath the desert sky 
you and I 
you and i 

here in my dreams  he waits for me 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm
 he waits for me 
under the desert sky 
I walk without rhythm 
hey hey heayyo 
here in my dreams  he waits for me 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm
 he waits for me 
under the desert sky 
I walk without rhythm 
hey hey heayyo 

Fear is the mind killer

Desert Sky (Guitarbeard / TygerTyger)

Independently unpolished band who like to be happy.  Unintentionally retro. Effortlessly uncool.

We'd describe ourselves as unpolished with dashes of introspection, cynicism, irony & humour. Tom Robinson describes us as ‘optimistic jangle fuzz merchants’.

We're very pleased to have had lots of radio play & positive feedback from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing East Midlands, Radio Caroline & Exile FM Radio amongst others. We’ve also been chosen several times as a Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Fave'.

Despite being quite a reclusive band with modest ambitions - we like our music to be heard outside of our own heads!

All our music is available for free download on Bandcamp.

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."
