Cold/Minimal/Dark/Electro/Synth Wave - 2022 Selection

March

dark wave  cold wave

Under a dark light

Wieder spüre ich diese Kälte
Normalität nur ein fernes Konstrukt
In der ferne fliegen die Krähen
Weit weg von Richtung Glück

Und die Distanz zwischen dir und mir 
Macht jeden Tag erneut zur Qual
Reibt meine Haut auf, wie Sandpapier
Und immer wieder, stellt's mich vor die Wahl
Ich steh' vor der Wahl

Alle Hoffnung ist zerbrochen
Was ich versuch', scheint egal
Wie ein Fluch, für immer ungebrochen  
ich will dich lieben, nur ein letztes Mal
(nur ein letztes Mal)

Doch die Distanz zwischen dir und mir 
Macht jeden Tag erneut zur Qual
Reibt meine Haut auf, wie Sandpapier
Und immer wieder, stellst mich an die Wand
Du stellst mich an die Wand

Und ich will nichts mehr fühl'n
Ich will nichts mehr seh'n
ich will nichts mehr fühl'n
Ohne dich macht es kein' Sinn (x2)

El Alquimista (Intersigno Mix)

I´m Nothing

Wouldn’t it be nice to live forever,
And have a drink with all your friends
And laugh aloud?
 
Watch a sci fi movie on your couch 
And fall asleep
while all the aliens come to earth?

Wouldn’t it be nice to play those records,
That you bought
When your hair was long and black?

Blow the dust of your guitar
And play the tune you love the most
The song remains, remains the same.

Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.

Wouldn’t it be nice to never hurt
Someone you love, or to be hurt 
And have regrets for all your life?

Make amends with the lady of the past
And have an ice cream in the park
To see the sunset in her eyes?

Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.

Love Forever (Ascend)

Clouds of dirt surround the city.
Happy faces  to disguise the news.
Everywhere people bow their heads
Without knowing
Who to obey.
Who to kneel to   
Who to praise

In this era of plastic smiles
Negativity reveals the truth.
Beliefs are the weapons of the liars
And the shackles of the rest.
Of the left behind.

Neon signs are brighter than stars.
Mannequins are fitter to be loved.
Poisoned water has a sweeter taste
And the screams of thousands are just white noise.
 
Neon lights are brighter than stars…

Sunset of Promisses

The City

Wake me up. I’m still breathing.
This nothingness, cracks my skin and my will.
Another day, I see no clouds. I have no hope.
I die and yet I live. I don´t know what to feel.
This numbness aches, covers me grain by grain.
What people say, is nothing but white noise.  
I cannot sleep your mumbles pierce my ears.
I have no say, the cutting wind decides my faith.  

I miss the rainy days.
The flowers bloomed             x4
The trees were green.

Wake me up. I´m still breathing.
I order you to come.
I am thirsty.
Please…
I cannot even weep.
I die and yet I live. I don´t know if I feel.
The present’s dry / I fear the future too.

This may not be my most polished work, it was done within two days in a very strange mood. I started doing "something with music" to take my mind off the things happening - and ended up composing while at the same time having a news-channel permanently showing all that madness on a little screen on my desk. I really wanted to turn it off, most of the pictures and texts were repeated constantly, there was kinda no point in having the device active all the time - but I just couldn´t. 
Strangely enough even in this "setting" creating music did for me what it has been doing for 25 years now: When things come too close, when I reach that point where I think "Man, if you don´t stop thinking now, if you don´t stop walking on the edge of this abyss right now, everything may fall apart to a point of no return", then transforming this lurking nothingness into something has so often saved me in a way. 
Therefore a lot of my tracks are like time-capsules for me - when I listen, I can exactly re-feel what was wrong (most of the time something was wrong) or what I was thinking about back then.
More and more I realized that this piece of music perhaps would be connected even closer to the very moment it was created than usually. I really hope that, given time, I will look at this one and say "These were some dark weeks in history and I remember them exactly when listening, but at least in the end it didn´t turn out as terrible as it could have".

Lyrics:

The city seemed to shine like jewels
Piercing layers of sound and the reek of L.E.D.
The city hugged me, choked me, loved me
You stood in the centre and you waited for me 

The city was a reversed reflection of me 
Loud on the outside and quiet within 
(It was)
A capsule for my weakened body 
An IV drop of sterile cool
It wrapped me with concrete coolness
When really I just needed you 
I just needed you 
You

But I’m alone again
Oh I’m alone again
Alone Again
Alone Again

9ToEarth - Alone Again

Night Wind

Taken from the bonus 7" that came with pre-orders of Dreadcade.

Dreadcade collects, reassembles &amp; repurpose 9 songs from the past ten years on to one LP. All of the songs are either sourced from limited edition CDRs, cassettes and compilations or previously unreleased. They were intended as an anniversary, but now they will instead stand as an epitaph. This was always about finding redemption and I know now there's none to have.

LP available from <a href="htto://www.idealrecordings.com">iDEAL Recordings</a> or <a href="www.whenskiesaregrey.se">When Skies Are Grey</a>
