Lost Tracks & Demos

This song was written & recorded on the day that John Prine passed away in April 2020...

Make the snow go
Make the wind blow
Let the spring come
Let the sun show

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Make the outlaw
Make the front door
Let the lock set
Let the hurt roar

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Run the border
Run the water
Let the fever break
Let it for her

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Manchester (Olivia's Song)

She’s looking for solace 
She’s looking for sunshine 
She’s out of seasons 
She’s out of time 
Winter runs its course 
Like an old October horse

He’s only a pony
He’s only a Mustang
He’s a July moonbeam
He’s got his own gang
Summer runs its course
Like a slow October horse

I don’t have an answer
I don’t have an aim
I can’t tell what you need
I know it’s such a shame
Love runs its course
Like a cold October horse
Oh love runs its course
Like a cold October horse

October Horse

This track was recorded in Huntington Station, NY in February 2015...

Hey Radio

This track is from 2018...

All the graves are in the backyard
And people move on there’s no doubt
Now I see the changing of the guard
Separate pathways a different route

No need to wave flags in the air
The stars won’t see them anyway
I sometimes just look up and stare
Still the same sky different day

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Take a bus to New York City 
And see your face in every mile
This old Trailways is a pity
It can run but it can’t fly

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Light Years

This track was written in 2018 and recorded in 2019 in Woodstock, NY.

I walked to Albuquerque 
In the first part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I left my home in Woodstock
In the second part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

Woke up in Albuquerque in the rain
Running horses and falling manes

I walked to Albuquerque 
It was midnight in my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I traced my steps this morning
In the third part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

Woke up in Albuquerque in the rain
Running horses and falling manes

I walked to Albuquerque 
In the first part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I walked to Albuquerque 
In the first part of my dream

Albuquerque

Composition and lyrics: Paul and Fritz Kalkbrenner

This is the raw version (the "Sand"-edit...) of a collaborative project with https://soundcloud.com/synline. We both used the same vocal track.
Please take a listen to his "Sky"-version, it is quite different:

A Big Thank You to my friend Synline. I enjoyed this collaboration very much.

Sky And Sand 

In the nighttime when the world is at its rest
You will find me in the place i know the best
Dancin’, shoutin’, flyin’ to the moon
Don’t have to worry ´cause i’ll be come back soon

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your 
In the palm of your hand,
I found myself alive in…)

In the daytime you will find me by your side
Tryna do my best and tryin’ make things right
When it all turns wrong there is no fault but mine
But it won’t hit hard `cause you let me shine

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end   

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your,
In the palm of your hand…
As long as we are flying 
All this world ain’t got no end,
All this world ain’t got no end,
Ohh,
All this world ain’t got no…)

Call My Name - the theme of "Hecate"

This is a track from a few years ago.  I recently remixed it with some new parts.  This song is why I think I have ADHD.   

You may know the title from the sound a teenager makes once they've figured out they know everything.

Savourer le Mr Freeze  
On me le dit souvent, alors je m’assois et j’attends.  
Monsieur frise un peu trop souvent,  
qu’on me le dise…  
J’attends, j’attends.  

L’air du temps qui glisse à travers le vent,  
À mâcher du réglisse et s’asseoir,  
Et à perdre son temps… alors j’attends.  

J’attends.  
Resté inactif et le regard vif,  
Je voulais y revenir un peu trop souvent.  
Mr rit de toutes ses dents,  
Et tu me le dis…  
J’attends.  

L’air de rien qui passe comme le vent,  
Souffle, traverse le temps et s’assoit,  
Se terre souvent… alors  
J’attends.  

Resté immobile même si la vie défile,  
Sur mon côté débile si facile,  
Dégouline une larme sur ma joue.  
La menthe me manque, juste une envie.  
Personne n’arrive, un ciel trop clair,  
À crier dans les airs…  
J’attends.  


J'attend

Human Ground (Earth) – KAT x Lou
Rooted in stillness, the pulse of being.

Earth hums quietly beneath the noise,
solid, ancient, forgiving.
A piece that carries both gravity and grace.

Created in collaboration with Lou (@louie_e), whose earthy guitar tone meets my lyrical breath  - 
a dialogue between soil and sky.
Part of the Element Series, this collaboration rests on grounded sound and poetic resonance.

The cover image traces back to my Tribe Painting, created in the deserts of Mexico during a shamanic journey, a circle of life, soil, and song.
