Nice acoustics... good that you could control those tinkling bells... often they have a mind of their own.

What You Get / Demo - Matthias Hanich

Hey Everybody!

During the long Covid months I lost my creativity and connection to music somehow. Rarely played and listened. I guess it was a result of missing new impressions. Maybe some of you had similar experiences? However, I have started writing and recording again. First of all I would like to share this little acoustic instrumental. Hope you enjoy it!

This is an old DROWNING DOLPHINS classic from the 90s, released on the mini LP "Tears never shed". Lyrics by Hauke Meyer. Thanks for the attention!

Don´t try to understand
This simple sentiment
I tried and had to fail
And this is not a tale

Do you believe in hate?
You surely will – just wait!
Do you believe in love?
You should believe in hurt
I know it sounds absurd

Are you looking for goodness?
Come to the other side
No matter what you try –
Here you´ll never find it

Are you heading for good times?
Come to the other side
No matter how long you wait
Here you´ll never find it

Do you believe in hate?
You surely will – just wait!
Do you believe in love?
You should believe in hurt
I know it sounds absurd

Are you looking for goodness?
Come to the other side
No matter what you try –
Here you´ll never find it

Are you looking for goodness?
Come to the other side
No matter what you try –
Here you´ll never find it

Are you heading for good times?
Come to the other side, come to the other side

Forever

Other Side   ft. STEPHANIE BARBUTOVA

there we are

v1

funny old day

beyond the window

beyond a care

of my mind


in my time

I’ve let some things go

but don’t you know

there’s more to lose

and some to choose


v2

let’s meet soon

and when you get there

I'll be waiting

in my car


break these rules

I let tempt me

to leave a life

some call a gift

and there we are

oh, there we are

for there we are





v3

you bring food

I bring my best self

if I can find 

where it lies



all is good

in time and word

under patient skies

invisible birds

sing undisturbed


v4

in this shape

of us together

a/one day will break

the pattern up


ready or not 

for what’s after

when we’re taken

clean and free 

and there we are

oh, there we are

for there we are

singing goes a bit wobbly in places - but it don't matter, does it? - lately i just want to let it come out as it does - get a bit nervous when i press record - and don't want to be - would rather it had mistakes but i enjoyed the singing of it - rambling now - still, thanks for listening if you gave it a go -  

wanting to write some more songs after a long while of not doing it - not sure where that feeling goes when it goes - or why it comes back - 

all best to you all,

As we grew older and older, we began to lose the innocence we had as children. In this composition I wanted to remember those years, at the beginning of our lives.

Coming Home.

So pull up a chair, I’ll buy you a beer  
Tell me your news, kick off your shoes,  
It's been years since I've heard anyone from home.  
And how's the old pair, are they still there?  
Mam in the kitchen, and Dad in his chair,   Reading the paper and putting the world to right.

Send my love to them in the morning,  Please tell my Mam that I'm coming home.

And how is young Mary, is she still contrary?
  I remember her smile, the sweetest in Kerry,  
I wonder if she ever thinks of me?  
I swore I'd send for her, when I had the money,  
I'd bring her to Brooklyn, we'd marry in Joseph's,  
And live the good life, in the heart of New York City.

Send my love to her in the morning  Tell her I think of her night and day.

I came here in '90 with nothing but hope,  
A second-hand suitcase tied up with rope,  
With the name of someone who was a friend of a friend of a friend.  
He got me a job washing down trailers,
In a meat packing plant, down near the Hudson, 
The smell was God-awful, but the money wasn't too bad.

Let's raise a glass to him in the morning,  And tell my Mam that I'm coming home.

I drank in the night-time, I drank in the day,  
I fell in with low-life's, the lost and the strays,  
We banded together in low-lit bars and Inns.  
Then I lost my job in the meat packing plant,  
Too many absences, and nights in the tank,  
The friend of a friend stopped taking my calls since then.

Let's raise a glass to him in the morning,  And tell my Mam that I'm coming home.

Tell them, I’m coming home
