I like this kind of music - also lyrics with a deeper sence

Cool track. We all been through that! Nice work.

The lyrics are really relatable, love the saxophone on the track. Also like the storytelling!

One Day In Time - Beats Working - Remaster 2022

Always

Intro:

Woke up to the sound of rain,
Dripping through the ceiling stain.
Bills stacked high on the counter there,
Turn on the news—more hate in the air.

Verse 1:
Prices climb but my pay stays low,
Seems like everywhere I go,
People shouting, pointing blame,
No one listens, it’s all the same.

Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know how much more I can take,
Feels like the ground is starting to break…

Chorus:
Oh, everything’s falling apart,
But I’m still here with a heavy heart.
Trying to hold on, trying to stand tall,
When the walls cave in and the raindrops fall.

Verse 2:
Mama’s coughing, daddy’s weak,
Doctors say it’s getting bleak.
Kids got bruises, stitches tight,
Car’s in the shop, but they’re all right.

Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know how much more I can take,
Feels like the ground is starting to break…

Chorus:
Oh, everything’s falling apart,
But I’m still here with a heavy heart.
Trying to hold on, trying to stand tall,
When the walls cave in and the raindrops fall.

Bridge:
And my old dog stares at me,
Her legs are weak, but her eyes still see.
She tries to run, but she just falls down,
Like this whole damn world is spinning ‘round.
But she wags her tail, won’t let go,
Maybe that’s something I should know…

Chorus:
Oh, everything’s falling apart,
But love still beats in a wounded heart.
I won’t let go, I’ll stand up tall,
Even when the raindrops fall.

Outro:
Roof still leaks, and the world still burns,
But love’s the only thing that returns.
So I hold on, though it’s torn apart,
Still a little light in the dark.

Falling apart

We’re back in time
Rebuilding the kingdom
De-freaking the sanctum, baby!

A loop is fine (a loop divine)
Can’t un-fool a fool
The Gullivers rule the sea

When you roll over you
Will you stand with me
And we can bring back now

It’s a long long winter
But the seagulls won’t be crying defeat
Don’t trade your bangs for a whimper
A sturdy sail is never obsolete

Well I guess all of this earth was not enough for us
We wore our hardest hats and ground it back to dust
Our final score was high, we took it all with us
There were some lovely moments in between
We made love between wars and art between lies

Chorus: repeated

And when you roll over you
Will you stand with me
So we can take back now

We’re dumbing down
To fit the zeitgeist
The memers won
The Kraken’s free

No-one can save us
We’re the sirens
Just singing to our rock
Too scared to put to sea

Buncha redwoods going it alone
Who’s it gonna be, 
Who’s it gonna be
When the axe done fall?
It’s unimaginable
We were asked to be nicer
By some woman I saw
Kicking the Kaiser
Who promised us a wall
(Wall off our rock from sailors)

We're back in time

Chorus: repeated

When you roll over you
Will you sail with me
And we can journey back to now

The Gullivers Rule

This remastered album is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

Dangerous Flight (LANDR remastered)

"Signs" is a laidback yet funky exploration of fate, superstition, and the eerie coincidences that seem too perfect to ignore. With a hypnotic groove and mysterious atmosphere, the song weaves through flickering streetlights, repeating numbers, and whispers from the unknown—leaving you wondering if the universe is sending a message or just playing tricks.

Signs

[Verse 1]
Edison lit up the night, Einstein bent space and time,
Fleming found a way to heal, Crick and Watson cracked the line.
Salk’s vaccine saved the world, Hubble saw the stars expand,
Curie’s hands held fire and gold, dreams were drawn into the sand.

[Pre-Chorus]
But what if there’s more waiting to be found?
A secret hiding deep underground?
Maybe the answer’s in the air we breathe,
And maybe that answer comes from me…

[Chorus]
Why not me? Why not now?
A spark of light, I’ll figure it out.
Maybe I’ll find the endless stream,
Or cure the pain inside a dream.
The world keeps turning, time won’t wait,
History’s calling, I won’t hesitate—
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

[Verse 2]
Tesla dreamed of power free, flight was born from sand and sea,
The moon was just a distant light, 'til Armstrong took that giant leap.
The double helix held the key, the microchip rewrote our fate,
But somewhere there’s a lock unseen, and I was born to turn the gate.

[Pre-Chorus]
What if there’s a cure just beyond our reach?
A melody the universe wants to teach?
If Newton saw the apple fall,
Then maybe I can hear the call…

[Chorus]
Why not me? Why not now?
A spark of light, I’ll figure it out.
Maybe I’ll find the endless stream,
Or cure the pain inside a dream.
The world keeps turning, time won’t wait,
History’s calling, I won’t hesitate—
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

[Bridge]
Perpetual motion, an infinite flow,
A cure for the sorrow nobody should know.
A.L.S. fading, the cancer undone,
A future where battles no longer are won.
Not just a dream—I'll make it real,
Because someone must… so why not me?

[Outro]
Somewhere in the great unknown,
A light is waiting to be shown.
If history’s written by the bold and free,
Then turn the page… and write my name in ink.

Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

Why Not Me?

Skyline

You left me there.
Out, in nowhere.
Once, I told myself
That you wouldn't dare.
Sure I was a jerk.
I was aware.
I thought  stupidly
That I would be spared

Please stay honey
Do not harm me
I'll stop beating you 
Each damned evening
You will love me 
Like it used to be
I'll stop trashing you
Just don't be mean

I stare at the stars
Calm is the night
My wounded belly
Bleeds so much baby
Where are you now?
I need you so.
Why did you have 
To stab me in Reno?

Please stay honey
Do not harm me
I'll stop beating you 
Each damned evening
You will love me 
Like it used to be
I'll stop trashing you
Just don't be mean

Stay

That’s Pete and Pete, the original members, augmented with Spud, Pecos,  Snooks and Smooch. Pete and Pete were formally founder members of The Petes. The band like to explore a range of musical styles. They started out with folk, rock and blues but lately they have been exploring a vocal style of lizard-lounge type jazz - smoky and melodic. You’ll find love songs, both exuberant and elegiac, along with songs of loss, as well as songs lamenting the state of our world and our society. Why not check it out?
