This song takes me back to the 90s alternative rock scene, love the raw energy and guitar riffs!

LYRIC

In happier days
I can’t remember when
But happier days
Than those we’re living in
You could enjoy the delusion 
Progress would bless our lives

Now here we are
Bitten by the bytes
And all of this awfulness thrives
 
A man of my years' seen things
He knows what tomorrow brings
Is another today
To piddle away
And though disillusion stings
A man of my years still sings his heart out

My last birthday wish
I asked to be ignored
But granting me this
The world could not afford
It had to be firing off rockets
Singing a children’s song off key
You see
A man of my years is done
Pretending he’s having fun 
If he feels it he laughs
If not he asks
Would it bother anyone 
If a man of my years should run and hide
While a shred of pride remains 

A slice of cake I’ll handle
Please don’t light that candle
My age in the icing
Is that meant to be a nice thing?
You tell me to blow now
But I will not
I have got to go now

I promise you this
I’ll make no promises
You’ll say I just did
But that’s not what this is
I’m merely aware of my standing
I’ve got to get off my feet

There’s kids on the lawn
I could shout at them
Instead I just yawn and repeat

A man of my years sits back
with a cold drink and salty snack
His work is long done
He’s had enough fun
Now he wants to relax
After laughter and tears
All the hurrahs and jeers
I’m a man of my years!

A Man Of My Years

Search & Destroy // [ Iggy & The Stooges ]

Music to convey the challenges, determination, and successes of animal migration for survival.

/ˈmaɪ.ɡrə.tɔːr.i/ - Moving from one habitat to another on a seasonal basis

Migration, in ethology, the regular, usually seasonal, movement of all or part of an animal population to and from a given area. Familiar migrants include many birds; hoofed animals, especially in East Africa and in the Arctic tundra; bats; whales and porpoises; seals; and fishes, such as salmon.

Most migrations involve horizontal travel. The distance traversed may be a few miles or several thousands of miles. Some migrations take a vertical direction and involve no appreciable horizontal movement. Certain aquatic animals, for example, move from deep water to the surface according to the season. Certain birds, mammals, and insects migrate altitudinally in mountainous areas, going from the upper zones, where they breed, to the foothills or plains during seasons when the weather is severe and unfavourable. Such vertical travels involve essentially the same type of environmental change as horizontal, or latitudinal, migrations over long distances.

Song 1 from the OFF GUARD EP, released 22nd September 2023.

My Conscience The Nag

A power ballad about death and decay. Interpreting inevitable changes, loss and departure into John's skillful lyrics, the vocal melody conveys a deep sadness. I composed and played the song on piano and guitar both. It's hard to believe that a random collaboration paired John and me together. Later, Dirk joined as a vocalist and added plenty of drama. Thank you so much, it's always fun to collaborate with you!

==== LYRICS ====

I'm like a tree that sheds its leaves 
The final stage is coming, 
devoid of any future 

I stay here rooted to this spot 
No need to move around no, 
an ever growing tumour 

I see it only in my dreams 
When I awake from silence 
I hear the wind is calling me 
Testing my self-reliance 

Oohh sings the wind 
Oohh sings the wind 
Oohh sings the wind 
Things will never be the same 
Things will never be the same 

Alone I’ve walked this dusty road 
Left no trace and no sorrow, 
got no idea to borrow 

I'm bound right to this dying land 
Carrion crows are calling, 
an ever circling shadow 

I hope one day to see the light 
Dappled through meadows and tall trees 
And singing like the rippling stream 
Carried on a silent breeze 

Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Things will never be the same 
Things will never be the same

The Wind

TAFFETA | 165

"Le café" is one of my favourite pieces from The Nutcracker. I used to listen to it on my mp3 player, but for some bizarre reason, fully turning up the volume wasn't enough to listen to all the instruments. A solution came one night. The silence and solitude of the late hours allowed me to enjoy the beauty of one of Tchaikovsky's greatest works. Back then, to compose music was just a dream. Now, it's something I simply do, and I love it.

Thank you for listening to my music this year, Merry Christmas to y'all.

†ॐ

Music composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Originally titled "Danse arabe (Le café)", from "The Nutcracker" ballet and suite.
Arrangement by Thomas O'Higgins Horna.

Cover art: "The Absinthe Drinker" (1876) by Edgar Degas. Edited by me.

COUNTY JAIL

2016

Written by Janine Levinson
Produced by Janine and Jon, Mixed by Jon

Something I heard reminded me 
Of black phones in the county jail 
Talkin' through the safety glass    
They always had that certain smell

Of skin and sweat
I thought it was the scent of fear
But then, just now, I wondered if it was the tears
That make them smell that way

County jail, oh county jail
Is where you never want to be
County jail, I'll visit when
The police take my love from me   

How could it be that little things
Are worth more than your liberty?
Talking through the safety glass
You said these sorry words to me:

 “I’d do the same again if I had purpose to,”
And I wonder now, well just what am I worth to you
A sheet of glass away?

County jail, oh county jail
Is where you never want to be
County jail, I'll visit when
The police take my love from me

It’s a place where you go to get broken
It’s where you’re the worst that you can be
And no truer words were ever spoken, than 
If it’s you in there, there is no "you and me”

County jail, oh county jail
Is where you’re always gonna be
I visit now, and maybe then
But you won’t get the best of me

County Jail   - Acoustic with Jon Lock

The Uschi Obermaier Experience
Bielefelds älteste Garagenrockband THE USCHI OBERMAIER EXPERIENCE; hervorgegangen aus den Bands NOTDURFT und THE NYMPHOMANIACS, spielte zwischen 2007 - 2019 ihren rohen und dreckigen Sound auf den Bühnen,  die die Welt bedeuten. Viel Punk-Appeal mischt sich mit klassischem Rock'n'Roll, kurz: Songs, die kratzen, spucken und beißen und ein Sound, der Dreck unter den Fingernägeln hat. Im August 2018 veröffentlichten die "Uschis" ihr mittlerweile drittes Album "Trouble" beim Salzufler Plattenlabel Dedication Records. Es lohnt sich, diese Trouble-Shooter live zu erleben. 
Zu erwerben über: http://www.bluesite-records.de/

So stay tuned for the Adventures of the amazing USCHI OBERMAIER EXPERIENCE ... 

Former members of The UOEXP:
- Ingo "Izzy" Kowarsch [Git/Voc/Producer]
- Adrian "Hoschi" Eisel         [drums]
- Vincent Veranda  [drums]
- R.W. [drums]


The USCHI OBERMAIER EXPERIENCE is a real tight live band from Germany/Bielefeld who love to play their songs with a real heartfelt passion and a raw "punk-attitude" .
The Band started in 2002 as a fun/side-project of "The Nymphomaniacs" bass player Gunnar Gliech. Until 2009 he played a few Gigs round Bielefeld with different musicians and friends, just to having a good time while playing the music of the bands they loved...

In August 2018 they released their third LP "Trouble" (produced by Ulbricht), with twelve cool songs.

From blues to punk-rock, or - now and then - some fine pop-melodies ... a little pit-stop at the honky-tonk-bar and back to Rock`n Roll again...
You can hear a lot of influences...like The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop or the Faces.
Garage, Vintage, Retro whatever...maybe something in between !?

just words...take a seat and listen to the music...
