Karate, the Japanese martial art — now colliding with Rock! I combined a uniquely intriguing concept with the classic essence of hard rock.

Rock Meets Karate

I was looking at old photos of a town gathering in the 1800s for a lynching. I was struck at the carnival atmosphere, the presence of all kinds of people, women and children. This is disturbing but very real and it is NOT confined to America,the South but instead is a sad global problem with religions and "God". Too often I think religions are excuses to commit some of the most awful  human atrocities . Religions,like leader cults(nazis/emperorsetc), seem to blind masses into justifying the slaughter  of the enemy of the day. God in most religions preached tolerance/forgiveness/inclusion and yet these fundamental principles are conveniently forgotten when it comes time to fulfill some self serving goal, monetary/territorial or ego. I wish I knew why

lyrics
glowing yellow sun
clear bright blue sky
leaves are dancing in the wind

sherriff and the barber
the doctor and the lawyer 
all the townspeople are there

just to meet and greet
and to chat about
the news and their hopes and fears

The children all are there
dressed up in their best
blue eyes and many happy smiles

then the time arrives
the crowd all turn their head
they march the black man to the tree

a noose slips round his neck
they pull him up on high
so his legs can swing free

there's heard a horrible crack
that splits the morning air
the children look up and they stare
as his legs they shake
and his body quivers
until he hangs there still and limp

then the children turn around and finish up their games 
on this bright and sunny day

now it's time to go
they hear the parents say
off to church to learn to pray

"praise God??really??

praise God??what are you thinking?

Lyrics - David Cooper

I heard a story many years ago
About a man who didn’t know
What his life was all about
So he just ran around and around

Chorus

Time stood still - He’ll keep on searching
Far and wide - He’ll keep on searching
Up and down - He’ll keep on searching
Round and round - He’ll keep on searching now

Kept on going through the night
Ran across the whole wide world
Didn’t keep his head on straight
Should have listened to what he was told

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

Then one day he realised
What’s been missing all of his life?
Now he listens to what people say
And now he’s found a brand new way

He’s stopped searching - Repeat

THIS LIFE I AIN’T LIVING
V1
Things are so expensive
It’s eat or pay the rent
Before my paycheck comes
My money’s already spent 

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh 

V2
This country’s in trouble 
The world has turned its’ back
Hear the people moaning 
For the hope they lack

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh 

V3
Try to do things right
Find out it’s all wrong
The men pulling the strings
Are few but they’re strong, oh

This life I ain’t living
This life I ain’t living

V4
Lock up the house tight
Another weekend alone
Nobody cares where you are
Nobody calls on the phone

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh

V5
Another broken promise
Another broken dream
Broken hearts all around
Hear the children scream

CHORUS/TAG
This life I ain’t living is killing me
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh, oh!

This life I ain’t living
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me..

Oooh-oooh-oooh, Oooh,-oooh-oooh

Yearning Instrumental Demo is an unreleased draft from the creative forge of DestKorn, published under my side project Harmonic Echo. The piece is built on the intimate interplay of piano and violin, carrying a deeply melancholic, fragile atmosphere.

This is intentionally a demo version – it reflects the moment of creation, raw and unpolished, offering a direct glimpse into my creative process. It is not about perfection, but about capturing a feeling that later grew into the final track.

Yearning Demo ist ein unveröffentlichter Rohentwurf aus der Schmiede von DestKorn, veröffentlicht auf meinem Nebenprojekt Harmonic Echo. Dieses Stück basiert auf der innigen Verbindung von Piano und Violine und trägt eine melancholische, fast zerbrechliche Stimmung in sich.

Es handelt sich um eine Demo-Version – sie spiegelt den Moment der Entstehung wider, roh und ungeschliffen, ein direkter Einblick in meinen kreativen Prozess. Hier geht es nicht um Perfektion, sondern um das Festhalten einer Stimmung, die später zur fertigen Version führte.
