an Exit ramp somewhere in Illinois
white noise of tires on roads makes him ill
drop in some extreme, kick butt, CD tunes
ease back upon his head rest and just chill
while traveling to a new face with no plan
he stares at the directions in his hand
he's getting close to where he wants to be
he stopped three times to eat, and take a pee
warm breezes through the window bring the scent
of summer nights, in this state, fate has lent
soon he is just but one left turn away
moon hanging fingernail-ish, lights his way
to seven numbers listed yesterday
and promises that sent him on his way
soon doorbells chime, and then her brightest smile
invites him in for wine, to stay awhile
small talk, it leads to silent, lingering stares,
on what kisses might feel like, if they're shared
till lips dance in a velvet, smooth embrace
an ancient joy that's known as sucking face
as passion lights a gleam in hazel eyes
that fill with hunger, both the girl's and guy's
till clothes are flung like bothers on the floor
as lips and tongues begin to seek out more
soon there's such intense pleasure as they play
and he finds nothing Left to turn away
thier sighs sail high above the nois of Ill
car's horns and cat's meows, through windowsills
but nothing matters to the two who mesh
in heavenly beings blended of one flesh
each silky glide in shadowed places wring
shivers of pure bliss, clasping spasms bring
but suddenly a bell rings really loud
as all the visions vanish in a cloud
to form a room, and one big empty bed
she shakes the sweet dreams from her lovely head
then goes down to eat breakfast food instead.

VIVID DREAMS.-by- Matthew F. Blowers III

Not many people can avoid the struggle of heartbreak and trying to save a relationship while becoming resolved that it needs to end. There are at least 2 sides to every story, but in my experience working with countless people trying to move on, that it is not easy.The breakup - make up cycle can go on for years until for many, that day arrives. That day when you know, enough is enough and it is truly the end. You do not want to cut and run in relationships without trying to work things out - but there is also the other side of the extreme, which is overcooking and drifting into numbness. 

Wet Blurry Bright Lights Lyrics 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good

They tried to warn me 
You were no good
They didn't see 
The parts of you I could 
So many glimpses 
Of what could have been
The second eye opened
To finally see 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

So much love 
When you were in the mood 
Hysterical laughter 
Aching bellies, after
I hope you miss me 
Like I think you should 
I did so much for you 
But you made it win-lose

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

I feel different now 
Like its really it this time
It was that look
When I caught my eyes
In the mirror 
Too numb from the hurt  
From too many lies  
Too many times, burnt 

I tried to change you 
Thought you wanted to 
I gave way too much 
But giving was a rush 
That spoiled you rotten
Now I’ve removed the cotton
And removed myself 
Soon, you’ll be long forgotten 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good

The song "Common Love" reflects the struggles of growing up in poverty and finding strength through love and family. It describes a tough life with no money, cold nights, and constant hardship, but emphasizes how love acts as a shield and source of resilience. The narrator's parents, especially their mother's prayers and father's wisdom, provide emotional strength despite material lack. The chorus highlights how love among common people is powerful and unbreakable, even when life feels harsh. The song blends hip-hop beats and shoegaze elements to create a melancholic yet hopeful tone, reinforcing the message that love and unity are more valuable than wealth.



Common Love

Lost in space... March 2025 we sat in the studio and heard today's news. 

About Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore on ISS. 

Since months, stranded in the width of the endless universe... 

And we thought about David and Major Tom, being a part of our lifes since so many years. 

The first ten seconds of the Track are the original background sound  of the US lab on the International Space Station, recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield.

Written and recorded in Berlin, Germany,

Here are the lyrics:

[Verse]
Welcome to the greatest show on earth
The whole of the human race knows your worth
Can you feel it now?
Feel the fire inside you
You don't know it now
But it's all around you

[Verse 2]
It's a rocketship that's ready to launch
It's a rocketship that's ready to launch
Can you feel it now?
Feel the fire inside you
You don't know it now
But it's all around you

[Chorus]
You can break it
You can shake it
You can take it
'Cause it's your time now
Don't fake it
Don't waste it
Don't mistake it
'Cause it's your time now

[Verse 3]
Welcome to the greatest show on earth
The whole of the human race knows your worth
Can you feel it now?
Feel the fire inside you
You don't know it now
But it's all around you

[Chorus]
You can break it
You can shake it
You can take it
'Cause it's your time now
Don't fake it
Don't waste it
Don't mistake it
'Cause it's your time now

[Bridge]
Can you feel it now?
Feel the fire inside you
You don't know it now
But it's all around you
Can you feel it now?
Feel the fire inside you
You don't know it now
But it's all around you

Sometimes you shouldn't fight something. Scorpios tend to want to head right in when time is due. Listen to your spouse when he or she says: Hunny, let it go.

octave plateau – music by Gerhard Andreas Schreiber

Gerhard Andreas Schreiber. Since the 1980s,  composing and producing music under the name octave plateau. What began in the shadowed clubs of the post-punk era and the neon-lit pulse of the Neue Deutsche Welle has grown into a lifelong journey through diverse soundscapes and emotions.

Back then, working with artists like Markus, capturing the spirit of a generation in transition – between analog grit and melodic futurism. But the musical path didn’t stop there.

Today, octave plateau bridges four distinct yet emotionally intertwined genres:

Smooth Jazz – music like warm light on late-night streets; gentle grooves, atmospheric chords, and melodies that breathe and linger. It’s the sound of reflection and release, crafted with subtlety and soul.

New Wave – shimmering synths, melancholic harmonies, and rhythm-driven storytelling. A style rooted in the 80s, but constantly reinterpreted to reflect the tension and beauty of the now.

Deutscher Schlager – emotional, melodic, and lyrical. I approach this genre with both respect and reinvention – drawing from its traditions while reshaping its form for contemporary ears.

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) – raw, ironic, and rhythmic. NDW has always been the rebellious heart of octave plateau, combining German lyrics with electronic textures, punk aesthetics, and a dose of playful absurdity.

In 2024, these songs – some newly written, others rediscovered and reimagined – are being produced in the octave plateau studio in Berlin. Here, the past and the present meet in harmony and friction. Analog synthesizers hum alongside digital clarity. Stories unfold in every track – sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a sigh.

octave plateau is not just a musical alias. It’s a lifelong project, a personal archive, and a sonic playground. Welcome to a place where genres speak to one another – and where every note has a memory.
