Taking the risk to repeat myself, I am always amazed about the roots and triggers of inspiration in general and in music for me. Sometimes, it’s obvious, sometimes, it’s a mix of a thousands things. In any case, it’s not always easy to identify, but usually funny to recognize! For this song, here are some hints...

Of course, as you can guess from its name, first is the city of Montreux itself… beautifully nestled between steep Alps hills and peaceful lakeside of Lac Leman: local, exotic, relaxing and creative all together.

Then, still talking about this town, less about its landscape and more about its world famous July's Montreux Jazz Festival, it leads to the second inspiration: Deep Purple' Smoke on the Water. Yes, sure, you know the story. If not, you should!

Also, the style of this track has been greatly shaped upon the influence of fabulous @AcuteInflections: yes, I like that "velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass" of those 2 New Yorkers!

And finally, regarding 18:20? I'm sure you will figure it out by yourself...

But, still, the path from the initial idea to the song you can hear now was long. The few basic tones crystallized from a small game I do play to warm up my fingers on the guitar, moving it from warming-guitar-tone-exercise to piano/contrabass based track was pretty fun, but it wasn’t enough. Something was missing and there I got help from Blaž Pavšič, who produced the final version of the track, supplementing it with awesome percussion.

Hope you will find the outcome of this collaboration as nice as I do. You better do, as I can promise it's won’t be the only one ;-)

Montreux 18:20

This a riff-driven punk number on the theme of dominance and control. It is either dark, or darkly dumb, depending on your point of view. I played around with gender pronouns to spread the joy!

I can license lyrics if people are keen. Full lyrics below:

Grip

[verse 1]

She’s got a grip on my heart [repeat x3]
Like a monkey wrench

Monk, key, wrench, twist

She sits on my chest [repeat x3]
To get leverage

He’s got a hold on me [repeat x3]
Like a harpoon

Hook, me, up, pull

He’s got his hooks in me [repeat x3]
Like a slaughter house

We hold each other tight [repeat x3]
Like a tourniquet 

Bleed, me, dry, stop.

We share everything [repeat x3]
Like a parasite 

They really turn me on [repeat x3]
In the electric chair

Strap, me, in, switch

They put me up on the altar [repeat x3]
For the sacrifice

You really make me move [repeat x3]
Like a voodoo doll

Pin, me, down, cut.

You know me inside out [repeat x3]
Like an autopsy

[coda]

Well you play the tune 
And I will dance for you
Until I’m all worn through

Yes you play the tune
And I will dance for you
Until I’m all worn through

Grip

This song was originally written for you, the audience, the Fans. But now I realize it was the Lord speaking to me. Enjoy!

“Tears of War” is a soul-rooted protest song shaped by silence, sorrow, and defiance. Blending elements of conscious hip-hop, alternative R&B, and downtempo electronica, Bodo Bifroest delivers a haunting reflection on war - not just on battlefields, but in the human spirit.

Set against a backdrop of slow-burning grooves, ambient textures, and emotional vocal lines, the track moves like smoke through memories of conflict, loss, and quiet resistance. It's not a song about victory, but about survival, dignity and truth.

“Tears of War” speaks to those who carry invisible scars, and to anyone resisting the normalization of violence - be it in the name of power, fear, or authoritarianism…

It isn’t a call to arms. It’s a refusal to kneel!

Genre: Conscious Hip-Hop / Alt-R&B / Downtempo Electronica / Chillwave Soul

Don't Mean Anything

London Aliens

A song about anxiety and depression that people around you don't notice

I DON'T FEEL RIGHT  (LYRICS BADTRIPP INC, MUSIC BY BADTRIPP INC/SUNO AI)
My mind is reaching out to people that I meet
Sounds disturb the night so tight and so sweet
My heart is searching for someone to know
But when the game is over I have to go

Take away all my pain
make me dry in the rain
Let me try all in vain
drive me holy insane

My thoughts go back to times that I've seen
Images fill me with things I could have been
My soul is running for safety and for cover
And the years go by as I look for a lover

Touch me deep inside
fill my mind so wide
Take me on a ride
I need a place to hide

I am all alone in this empty town
I'm always here, always on my own
Memories from the past flash through my mind
Pictures of you touch my aching heart

Here comes another night
filling me with fright
I don't feel alright
when I turn out the light

World In Pain
