BE BY MY SIDE

Songster version was a little ‘copla’ about not being able to be with, nor without, a loved person.  As usual, I’ve ‘upgraded’ it, process from which you only get the final result, normally. 

But, following lyrics’ contradictions, I not only serve parts with different levels of (dis)order in heavy rock - flamenco sauce, but raw vs very cooked parts as well, starting with the improvised phone recording of the very first idea I had to develop the song, so please excuse my failures and noises.

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)  /  I know where you're coming from (Don’t you leave again)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pena,        /  when you come with that sweet sad face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes llorando sin que te duela,     /  when you come crying without any pain,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando dices que quieres hablar conmigo,  /  when you say that you want to talk to me,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando quieres estar al lado mío,                /  when you want to be by my side,

te veo venir (x3)                                           /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pilla,          /  when you come with that sweet sly face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa sonrisa, chiquilla,    /  when you come with that smile, little girl,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

mastering: Thomas Heimann-Trosien, TurnstyleMastering, Berlin

can i keep my eyes closed today
cause i lost a piece of mine
and i feel somehow faceless today
i'm blindfolded and i need you by my side 

one sunny day i met
an old friend so pale and thin
i had to get rid of him
before it gets under my skin

and it paralyses me so

wait a while my love down in the shade before we walk
into the fields mile by mile hand in hand until the end of our time

before the sunset ends
i wan't to fill my bag of life everyday
till someday the one eyed god
may walk over our graves

but for now i ask you to

wait a while my love down in the shade before we walk
into the fields mile by mile hand in hand until the end of our time

and we step into the unseen

Wait

Thank you so much Kevin (Mr. Cagey), Fady (Mr. The sporz), Tim (Three Photons) and JJ (Subject To Revision) for giving feedback to the song when the work was in progress!  

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

NOTHING'S EVER GONNA MAKE ME STOP
DANCING ROCKING LIKE THE BLITZRIEG BOP
THERE WILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND

Reflection

2nd quarter of the album and titled for Ellesmere Island (see my map), it describes the hard final stage of the expedition to the 'Arctica Point', and first effects felt when getting closer, for example odd rhythms ;)

Translated lyrics explain it with more detail, again:

ELLESMERE (AVANZANDO EN EL HIELO)  /  ELLESMERE (MOVING FORWARD ON THE POLAR ICE)

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se desliza hacia ese lugar…  /  my sleigh slides towards that place…
… aunque mi brújula loca está  /  … although my compass is crazy
desde más de cien kilómetros atrás.  /  from more than a hundred kilometers behind.

El sol me guiará,  /  The sun will guide me,
mi corazón me guiará.  /  my heart will guide me.
La aurora boreal me guiará.  /  Aurora borealis will guide me.

Los vientos polares me llevarán,  /  The polar winds will carry me,
los terribles vientos polares me empujarán.  /  the terrible polar winds will push me.
No tiene pérdida el lugar  /  There’s no missing to the place
donde se producen todas las singularidades físicas.  /  where all physical singularities happen.

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se guía solo hacia ese lugar  /  my sleigh guides itself towards that place
y aunque mis perros no lo saben,  /  and though my dogs don’t know it,
esta brújula no cesa de girar.  /  this compass doesn’t stop spinning.

Voy cada vez más deprisa  /  I go faster and faster
arrastrado por mis perros,  /  dragged by my dogs,
acelero, voy cayendo…  /  I accelerate, I’m falling…

Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
el tiempo empieza a correr.  /  time starts to run.
Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
dejo de envejecer, ¡dejo de envejecer!  /  I stop getting old, I stop getting old!

Lyrics
Verse 1
If I could see
all the things that waited for you and me
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand
for you...

Chorus 1
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it tick away....

Verse 2
If I could see 
through the shadows of life
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand 
for you...

Bridge
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time
One clock at a time

Chorus 2
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it slip away....

Outro
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time
One clock at a time

One clock at a time (ft. The Gatsbys)

"Let You Down" 
"I would´nt want to let you down,
Do everything because of you" 
just a little message to myself really, but thinking about it, you could say this songs about our world or planet, relationships ...or just trying to stay on the straight and narrow ... anyways,  I hope you like it, oh! and the artwork (if you´ve not already guessed) is an old pencil drawing of mine.

Let You Down

Vocals: www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
I'm still alive,  but that’s not right
 While you're alone  
Stuck inside the stone
 And let it be precious
 But the tears on the eyelashes 
I want to be closer 
But you can't hear me at all 
Inside the stone Broken heart Beats hard

Inside The Stone - ❤️❤️❤️

D'où je viens
tout est si tranquille
si silencieux
aucun son
aucun bruit
aucun mot
aucune parole.

Une petite voix intérieure
un chant inaudible
une relique d'un autre temps
me dévore une voix à l'intérieur...
Une petite voix intérieure
un chant indicible
un cri qui s'étend...

D'où je viens
tout est si lisse
transparent
aucun pli
aucune couleur
aucune ombre
aucune lumière
d'où je viens on enterre
sous des monceaux de peurs
les rêves des enfants.

Une petite voix intérieure
un chant inaudible
une relique d'un autre temps
me dévore une voix à l'intérieur...
Une petite voix intérieure
un chant indicible
un cri qui s'étend
une voix me consume de l'intérieur
un vestige de mon enfance...

Petite voix intérieure [Wypernet and Lukowig]

Fun to work on our second EP. Here is a little demo track of a song that will likely be on the album! A song about the perks of sharing love, hope and misunderstanding with someone. Thanks for listening, let us know what you think!

Concede Defeat

lyrics, vocals, lead guitar: Dusboblaze (@dusboblaze)
music, mix/master: Echo Garage

I wrote this song (the instrumental) bearing Dusbo singing in mind, and I'm very, very happy that he joined this project and put so much heart and soul in this song. thanks bro!

lyrics:
All night I was waiting
Waiting for you eyes
And I thought I was dreaming
I could feel you in my cries
For so long I been waitin
To meet your lonely touch
But I just keep on walkin
My soul was never enough

Too long I’ve been breathing
Too long I’ve been alive
I can feel I’m fading
No color in my eyes

Dancing with the devil,
Shades in the night
By the fire I’ll be waiting
By the fire I will die
For to long I’ve been wondering
Why the colors black and white
For too long I’ve been breathing
To long I’ve being alive

I can’t stop breathing
I can’t stop waking up

For too long I’ve been breathing
For too long I’ve been alive
And I can feel I’m fading
No colors in my eyes

I’ll just keep on wandering
Waitin for your hand
And I’ll just keep on walkin
Into the water from the sand

Dusboblaze and Echo Garage - Too Long

Thanks yet again to Amanda for breathing life into this song!   Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Darling
You don't know
how I feel

I've been 
looking lately
for a love that is real

Been down in the firing line
Fell for the one without a spine
Been down in the firing line again

Don't say 
that you care
if you don't 
For I've been 
looking lately
for the door

Been down and beyond help
You claim a bleeding heart
But stone don't melt
Been down and beyond help again

Been lost for the last time
Fell down at the finish line
Been lost for the longest time again

Darling
You don't know
how to feel...

Ickle felt Betty & Dave (supercats) made by my dear friend and fellow cloudie Nic Evennett

Go to sleep my little man for its nearly over,
soon you'll have to leave, me.
Rest your weary head on my trembling hand,
I can feel you breathe for the last time, soon you will be free,
chasing butterflies way beyond the stars.

The grass grows tall where your'e going and the sun it always shines.
You can stretch out just like supercat, catch some rays and watch the ducks glide on by.
Someday we will be there by your side, till then wait patiently.

Rest in peace my baby boo soon your pain will cease to be
 then work it's way into me.
Pull my flesh apart cut deep inside my heart.

Go be with your brother now, where the sun it always shines.
You can stretch out just like supercats catch some rays and watch the ducks glide on by.
It's safe there no need for you to hide, cause soon I will be there by your side.
Till then wait patiently.
I'll be counting the weeks, months and years, till I see you again.
And hold you in my arms.

Based on the book Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris

Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival.

When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is not granted to Cilka: She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice? And where do the lines of morality lie for Cilka, who was send to Auschwitz when she was still a child?

In Siberia, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, including the unwanted attention of the guards. But when she meets a kind female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under brutal conditions.

Confronting death and terror daily, Cilka discovers a strength she never knew she had. And when she begins to tentatively form bonds and relationships in this harsh, new reality, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.

From child to woman, from woman to healer, Cilka's journey illuminates the resilience of the human spirit―and the will we have to survive.

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

Just A Little Nudge (Nuts)

Three Photons is an analog-centric indie jazz-blues project that blends vintage warmth with cinematic introspection. Rooted in tape-based production and minimalist arrangements, the sound evokes dusky landscapes, quiet urgency, and the emotional clarity of improvisation.

Drawing from early jazz recordings, lo-fi textures, and ambient storytelling, Three Photons crafts sonic environments where each note feels intentional and alive. The name reflects a fascination with light, resonance, and the subtle interactions that shape perception—mirroring the project’s ethos: understated, immersive, and deeply human.

From reel-to-reel saturation to spacious reverb tails, every track invites deep listening and quiet reflection. This is music for late nights, long drives, and moments that linger.

🎙️ Analog soul. Magnetic tape. Timeless tone.
