Change is overdue!
Full lyrics

I'm tired of being down all the time i wish that you would lift me up
I'm tired of being tired all the time to face the truth would be way too much
I think of all the things you did to me and all the pain i felt in your touch
I think of all things you said, woman they add up - you said way too much
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way 
I'm tired of being wrong all the time when half the time i know i'm right
I struggle with my insecurities and let you win each and every time
I used to be a stronger man i seemed to lose my confidence somwhere along the line
i need to find my balls again before the absolute gets swept behind
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way

One more time!

"The Absolute"

The Good Life

Introduction in English:
For many, November is the worst month. I particularly like it because it is the month that best expresses the Buddhist mantra of "And the end is the beginning". In November, almost all the trees are bare and most plants have faded. But in this "destruction" lies the seed of new life. 
November is the month that most clearly demonstrates that we sometimes have to radically let go of beliefs and attitudes that no longer help us move forward so that we can reposition ourselves and continue to develop.
And this month also makes it clear that we must fully accept dying and death as facts in order to keep the flywheel of life, which goes far beyond us, running. 
At the age of 60, I am still in the "October of life". However, October is already knocking strongly on the door of the unstoppable transformation processes that reach their climax in November. 
The song "Autumn is here" summarises these thoughts in the form of a French chanson. I chose this form because, in my view, the French language and the genre of the chanson come closest to the basic existential themes of life.

Lyrics in English (For those, who don’t speak French)

Autumn is here

Everything falls, nothing holds
Nothing stands, it's already late
The green turns gray, the weather wet and rough
The flock of birds moves away into the warm blue

This morning I was full of energy
Tonight I'm tired
My garden of life will soon be withered
One little spark still glows
That still drives me and pulls me forward 

Autumn is here
The gray hair
Lies damp in the drain sieve

Autumn is here
The cataract
looks at me in the mirror

The fields are bare
The faces pale
The tree trunk breaks
In the middle of the poem

The clock runs down
The meadow lies fallow

The car groans
The eye runs and tears

The children look pityingly
The morning sun grins
Nothing you can gain 
Gain
The raven peeks
Around the corner, nods at you

Französischer Originaltext:

L'automne est là

Oui, tout tombe
Rien qui tienne
Il n'y a plus rien
C'est déjà tard

Le vert devient gris
Le temps humide et rude
La nuée d'oiseaux 
S'en va vers le bleu chaud

Ce matin, j'étais à fond
Ce soir, je suis fatigué
Le jardin de ma vie 
va bientôt se faner

Une dernière étincelle brille
qui me pousse et m'entraîne en avant

L'automne est là
Les cheveux gris
Se trouve dans le siphon

L'automne est là
La cataracte se rapproche
Me regarde dans le miroir
L'automne est là

Les champs sont nus
Les visages sont pâles
Le billot se brise
Au cœur du récit

L'horloge retarde
Le fond du pré est en friche
La voiture gémit
Les yeux sont pleins de pus

Les enfants regardent avec pitié
Le soleil matinal se moque de toi
Il n'y a rien d'autre que tu puisses gagner
Le corbeau regarde 
Au coin et il te fait un signe de tête

L'automne est la (Autumn is here)

I love music. I was born into a musical family, and had one piano lesson as a child, but it was no fun and I gave up. 

As a teenager I played piano and guitar by ear. After twenty-five though, life got in the way.

In mid-life I rediscovered music, and I've been making up for lost time. "Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music", someone said.

Writing and collaboration are what I enjoy most now. As an amateur I write what I want to hear. But I hope you find something you enjoy. Thank you for listening.
