Guardian Angel, words and music by Tobias Schwarz, (c) 2007

In all these nights I couldn't sleep
I lay awake tried not to weep
So torn apart I didn't know there was
Hope for me beyond the rush
of emotional drugs

Some call it fate others a dream
Some say phenylethylamine
Some call it luck they just don't understand
The truth I'm holding in my hand
When I'm holding yours

You give me strength, you make me weak
You are the sense to all the madness
I feel in me

I see your face
When I close my eyes at night
It dawns on me
Can't live without you by my side
You save my life
With every glance you lay on me
My guardian angel
You'll be watching over me
You'll be watching over me

I live my life each single day
I count the hours you're away
My blessed heart beats for you eternally
It knows that immortality
Is another word for love

You give me strength, you make me weak
You are the sense to all the madness
I feel in me

I see your face
When I close my eyes at night
It dawns on me
Can't live without you by my side
You save my life
With every glance you lay on me
My guardian angel
You'll be watching over me
You'll be watching

You'll be watching all the while
As I'll watch over you
'cause I'm your guardian angel
I'm your guardian angel

I see your face
When I close my eyes at night
It dawns on me
Can't live without you by my side
You save my life
With every glance you lay on me
My guardian angel
You'll be watching over me

I see your face
When I close my eyes at night
It dawns on me
Can't live without you by my side
You save my life
With every glance you lay on me
My guardian angel
You'll be watching over me
You'll be watching

You'll be watching over me
You'll be watching over me

Back in 2005, I once had a dream about me being on a date with Britney Spears. When I woke up, I quickly wrote this song on a keyboard and later demoed it with 2005 Cubase, VST guitars and drums.

I hadn't thought about it for a very long time, also because I hadn't thought about Britney Spears in a very long time, but then her auto-tune story - http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/9/5884649/untouched-britney-spears-vocal-track-no-autotune - hit the media today, and I felt compelled to finally upload this.

So, have fun. Both with the story and the song - no autotune whatsoever involved ;)

Britney - Words and Music by Tobias Schwarz, (c) 2005

Da dam di di dau
Da dam di di dau

I don't know you well,
well, don't know you at all
I've seen you on tv
I did not even know that,
well, I liked you at all
It seems that I couldn't see

But there is a place where you know me well
You took me there last night

You kissed me in my dream
Your lips taste sweet it seems
And no one knows
'cause we dyed your hair
That my brain had a date
With Britney Spears

I listened to your fears
You cried some happy tears
You smiled at me last night
We listened to my song
You said it made you long
To sing with me all night

'cause there is a place where I know you well
I took you there last night

You kissed me in my dream
Your lips taste sweeter than it seems
And no one knows
'cause we dyed your hair
That my brain had a date
With Britney Spears

repeat Chorus 

You said I opened your eyes
But then I opened mine
We may no know each other in the end
But today your songs sound different

Chorus x2

With Britney
With Britney
My brain had a date
With Britney Spears


"Britney" Demo (2005)

Merry Christmas everyone! I wrote the original version of “Santa’s Fantasy” in Sydney, Australia, in December 2007 as “theme song” for the christmas party I attended. A year on I decided to partially rewrite the song as a little Christmas present for my Australian friends. What you can listen to here is the result of that effort. 

Many thanks to my sister (http://dorotheeschwarz.de), who sang the backing vocals and Sebastian Linke (http://schwarzlicht-film.de), who’s, as so often, the mastermind behind the drum arrangement.  Enjoy!

Lyrics -

"Santa's Fantasy"
c 2007-2008 Tobias Schwarz

When Santa was a little boy
He was a problem child
His parents were quite worried
'Cos he was way to wild
When he grew up and went to school
And learned the family trade
It took a few nights on the booze
When he found out his fate

To put on weight, grow facial hair
stay celibate in his despair
And fake smile for all his life 

He hates his job he tried to quit
He hates the reindeers but loves the whip
Now why should he be spreading joy
when he is just a dirty boy
He hates the girls when they are nice
He loves the naughty in disguise
The game is on under the tree
If you are Santa's fantasy.

Year after year he sits and sulks
And keeps on watching porn
He really tried to like his job
But in the end he's torn
He wants to go out on the town
Meet girls and have some fun
But he will only see the world
On his special delivery run

He's stuffing socks and quite a heap
And has to work while others sleep
so no one can see Santa weep.

Chorus

But he still has a fantasy
A naughty girl who likes
A big guy wearing Santa clothes
To be her slave for life

Chorus x2


Santa's Fantasy '08

Pour le marriage de Jean-Michel & Jystina, Paris, 05-2010.

So far my only song in French.
