I had already written that the track is beautiful when I listened to the acoustic guitar version. I like both versions, but in direct comparison I like the piano version a little better. In any case, you have created something exceptionally good again, Tom. 👏

Dem Wicked

Introduction in English:

Sometimes I dream that I meet my great musical idols. When I was intensively occupied for a while with one of my passions, the French chanson, it happened that in one of my dreams Jacques Brel sat opposite me in my small Berlin living room and gave me the assignment to write, in my way and with my possibilities, something like a sequel to his great chanson "Ne me quitte pas".  Whereas here he had described the fear of losing a loved one, now I was to describe in my song what it was like to have lost this loved one forever. 
And on the basis of this nocturnal dream collaboration, my French chanson "Je t’ai perdu" was born. 
The cover is again by the Polish artist Renata Golab.

Lyrics in English:

I have lost you

I have lost you 
lost forever

Just wanted to hold you
Keep you warm and safe

Just wanted to protect you
Protect you from abysses

Protect you from demons
Protect you from the falling

Yes I know 
You will never understand

I know
You'll see it differently

You feel dominated
Dominated by me
Controlled by me
Imprisoned by me

You feel enslaved 
For all eternity

I have lost you
Lost forever

Just wanted to love you  
Love you unconditionally, unconditionally

Strengthen you for life
Strengthen you for becoming yourself

To raise you gently 
Lift you up against the Hades

Over, gone
I have not reached you

Nothing that remains
The oath of revelation

Reap your hatred 
Reproach and hatred
Your scorn and mockery
Scorn and derision

I have lost you
For all eternity

Französischer Originaltext:

Je t'ai perdu,

Je t'ai perdu,
Perdu pour toujours

Je voulais juste te tenir
Garder au chaud en toute sécurité

Je voulais juste te protéger
Protéger des abîmes

Te préserver des demons
Préserver de la chute, de la chute

Oui, Je sais
Tu ne comprendras jamais

Je suis conscient
Tu verras les choses autrement

Tu te sens dominé
Dominé par moi
Supprimé par moi
Enfermé par moi

Tu te sens asservi
Pour l'éternité

Je t'ai perdu,

Je t'ai perdu,
Perdu pour toujours
Je voulais juste t’aimer
T’aimer sans condition

Te renforcer pour la vie 
Renforcer pour devenir soi 
Te redresser doucement
Te dresser contre l'Hadès

Fini, passé
Je ne t’ai pas attaint
Rien qui ne reste
La déclaration de reddition

Je récolte ta haine
Tes reproches et ta haine
Ta moquerie et tes railleries
Ta malice et ta derision

Je t’ai perdu 
Pour l'éternité

Je t'ai perdu

Je t'ai perdu (I have lost you)

Moonray Girl

She's a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She makes my eyes kind a blur
She's a moonray tale
'Cause her beauty never fails
Her inner garden's not for sale
Some tried and tried to no avail
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She's one of the kind
Whatever you wanted
Slipped out of your mind
She's a moonray girl
Like a lightening in the night
The girl has gone up to the moon
And now I'm crazy as a loon
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She was a moonray girl (girl)
I'll never stop counting the hours
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She was a moonray girl (girl)
I'll never stop counting the hours

It's my very first composition. I wrote this when I was 16. Over 30 years later, it still feels just as young, while I feel less so.
I was never able to finish this song because of a computer bug. The guitar solo, in particular, was temporary. After losing all the files, I couldn't find the motivation to start over.

Ah Shit

Barberousse

All the instruments here give a murky, muddy sound.

Beneath the Surface

Studio's The One

This is a sad piece of music.  Sometimes music needs to be in the minor key.   This came out top of my head without preparation or any planning.  Now mixed for the final version.

Autumn Leaves

Hi, I'm Tom, and thanks for stopping by my page!

I started making music at 10 years old with my Casio MZ 2000, and now, at 35, I'm still creating from the heart. No training, no fancy software, no edits. Just me, a keyboard, and whatever comes out in the moment. Every track you hear is made in one take, raw and unfiltered.

If you'd like to support me, check out my tracks on Bandcamp here https://trialerror1.bandcamp.com. Every listen, share, or donation means the world to me.

I make all my music from home, no studio time, just passion and trial and error. I’m always eager to connect with others, share experiences, and get feedback to keep growing. Whether you’re a fellow musician or just a listener, your thoughts and advice are always appreciated. Feel free to reach out - I'm happy to respond to all messages.

Thank you for your support and for listening!
