Looking back over my life and remembering where i came from and now looking at how far i have came.
I Do Not Own Copyrights To This Beat

Remember Ft 3G(Radio Version)

Ya know what it's like with music and those who sit in judgement. It all has parallels in life. 
In my case,I'm not laying claim to being the next 'anybody',I'm merely letting out what comes from within. That'll be my take on everything I've heard and all that's gone before...t'ain't reinventing the round thang.

Perhaps this song is encouragement to all the folk who feel dispirited by those who listen,then dismiss it as 'heard it all before'. Well,at least they 'listened!

Play what's inya folks,it's all good and no one does music like you do,so be the best YOU there is and for those expecting you to be what you are not,just tell them.. I'm not the man/woman for you. :)


I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true

I'm not out to bring anything new
I play just what I feel
What I've heard is what I do
I won't reinvent the wheel

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true

I'll never be mister innovation
You won't be amazed at my skill
I'm not into social agitation
Three chords are my biggest thrill

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true

I don't feel the need to push the limits
I couldn't,if I tried
I don't write songs to please the critics
I don't need to be ratified

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true....

I'm Not The Man For You

Алсу - Не молчи (Troen remix)

Mellow jazz/fusion instrumental track. I'm very happy I asked Joe to collaborate on this (and I am super happy he said yes) as it turned out great. Joe's playing is absolutely top notch.

"see you again"
I'm playing the guitar and something.

made with @singularbalance

see you again (singular balance & yutaka hirasaka)

On one of my numerous hitchhiking trips I met "Poinariu" (name changed...), a then 40-year-old Romanian who fled from Bucharest via Paris (the place where I met them) to Berlin before her violent husband with her young German lover. We hitchhiked back to Berlin together and there I supported "Poinariu" in her attempt to free herself from her repressive husband. At our meetings I saw how she blossomed and began to live her own freedom. And yet, as it went on, I had to watch as she was gradually being haunted and captured again by the "Spouse Demons" from within. One day she didn't come to an appointment and left me only a text message that she would return to her husband. I never saw her again. 

At the end of the song "Poinariu" (...or Freedom and Violence), I shout out her name several times sadly; my pain that she has reversed again just before the goal. At the same time, however, the acoustic lead guitar that finally sets in announces my never-ending hope that women can free themselves from male violence and that in the meantime I have also been able to accompany some who have made it permanently!    


English translation of the lyrics:

Poinariu, a Song about Freedom and Violence

Ooh Poinariu
come on close the door!

Your husband's about to come in
gives you pain
is screaming
can never forgive you

You only wanted to free yourself
escape from the Marriage Prison
from Budapest fled to Berlin
to your young lover

Breathe for yourself once
walk on pearls  
turn about your own axis loudly

Shaken off the spouse's dictate
Ready to jump

Ooh Poinariu
you are still wearing red shoes

The last night of love
has brought the morning star straight to your bed

Kissed by the young lover
not for a second did you miss your husband

The streets appeared so far
almost got rid of the compulsory chain dress

Forgot only the shackle on your foot that tied you invisibly to him

Had the door just ajar
Didn't really banish the demons
at night he hit his poison dentures
deep inside yourself

You had come so close to the castle courtyard
In front of the entrance
but you never arrived

Poinariu, Poinariu
Poinariu, Poinariu


Deutscher Originaltext:

Poinariu, ein Song über Freiheit und Gewalt

Ooh Poinariu
komm` mach` die Türe zu

Gleich kommt Dein Mann herein
verschafft Dir Pein
ist am schrein`
kann Dir niemals mehr verzeihn`

Du wolltest Dich doch nur befrein`
dem Ehegefängnis enteiln`
aus Budapest flohst nach Berlin
zu Deinem Young-Lover hin

Einmal selbst atmen
auf Perlen gehen
sich um die eigene Achse laut drehen

Abgeschüttelt das Gatten-Diktat
Zum Sprung bereit

Ooh Poinariu
noch trägst Du rote Schuh`

Die letzte Liebesnacht
hat Dir den Morgenstern direkt ans Bett gebracht

Vom jungen Liebhaber geküßt
keine Sekunde den Gatten vermißt

Die Strassen erschienen so weit
sich fast entledigt des Zwangs-Kettenkleids`

Vergaßt nur die Fessel am Fuß, die Dich unsichtbar band an ihn

Hattest die Türe nur angelehnt
die Dämonen nicht wirklich verbannt
des Nachts schlug er sein Gift-Gebiß
tief in Dich hinein

Warst so nah` am
Schloßhof dran

Vor`m Eingang stehend
doch kamst nie an

Poinariu, Poinariu
Poinariu, Poinariu
