Zeitgeist - Spirit of the times. [lyrics at the bottom]
When I was very young I wrote rock and pop songs. Finally after many years of instrumental music I returned to composing a song with the help of @Xian3 who wrote beautiful lyrics and provided a great vocal interpretation and whom I thank for his willingness and enthusiasm.
It's apparently a love song but it also speaks of existential restlessness, of fear in its double value of paralyzing or strengthening the life force.
The collaboration had only one difficult moment when, due to a linguistic misunderstanding, I misunderstood a joke and thought Xian was a Lazio team fan (I swear it's all true)... We came close to an international crisis!!! :)))
As you can listen, to make the collaboration more "thrilling" he decided to write the first part in German, which I don't speak. He assured me that the meaning is more or less similar to the second part in English... But who knows... Let's hope so! :))
[If anyone who speaks German reads anything suspicious against Roma team, please let me know, thanks.] :))))

Zeitgeist

Im toten Winkel, da haust
Ein Schatten, der mich immer wieder verfolgt
Jedes mal, wenn ich arbeiten will
Ein Seufzer des Zweifels
Fällt in mein Ohr
Das ist nicht immer unbedingt schlecht,
Doch es macht nervös,
Sieh,

Kann nicht ohne dich sein
Kann nicht ohne dich leben,
Du tiefste Angst
Kann nicht ohne dich gehen,
Du tiefste Angst

Behind the blind spot there lurks
A shadow that is always following me
Everytime i want do my work
A sweet sigh of doubt
Just drops in my ear
This is not necessarily bad,
But It bothers me,
See

I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you , now
My deepest fear
I can’t leave without you, now
My deepest fear

How i wish, you were not here
I would not shed a single tear
I would
I would

Can’t you leave without me ?
Can’t you just let me sleep in ?
My deepest fear
Would you live without me, now
My deepest fear
Would you ?
Wouldn’t you ?
Would you, please ?
Would you, please ?

Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist - with Xian3

A past lover keeps showing up in my dreams and reminding me of my failures.
From my new LP " Low Profile". My best tracks from 2023. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I get my melancholy straight from the IV drip
A Xanax, a red eyed flight on the sky ship
That's when you appeared
I'd been gorging myself on 
Televised violence
It's like synconized swimming
You were grinning while the plane was rapidly descending
(You smiled all the way down)
The atmosphere was colorless
Odorless
Void of all surface and all texture
I'm reveling in my psychosis
You reminded me I never finished my
Junkyard magnum opus
You still show up in my dreams

We were entering into 
An impressionist painted landscape
With a language that we just didn't understand
You reminded me that I'm a big believer
In blindly believing
And I need to start drinking in
A little bit more in what I'm seeing
We're like suburban dadaist
Coming in, out of the rain
My mind was racing
Like those 808 beats
There all the same
Well, that's the way the Goddamn wheel rolls
You headed off into the night
You never told me to change the angle of the light
You still show up in my dreams

"You never even had it even when you had it your hands"
You've got to bring it right down
To where the sideways ends in the light
I'm digging down deep
I'm digging down slow
I'm striking oil 
Or the fires down below
You still show up in my dreams

You Still Show Up In My Dreams

Why?

a softer track to repair your hearing damage by listening to my metallurgical track!

C'est Un Trou De Verdure Où Coule Une Rivière (It's a green hole where a river flows)

This is a song for my Mary, but it is applicable to all Mary's. 

This is my first attempt at recording new material since last summer, I've been writing and playing a lot, but I just haven't had the time lately to get my ideas on tape. So it's nice to get this one out, and hopefully, it'll not be as long a wait for my next. 

Thanks for all the listens and support, it's greatly appreciated as always. cheers!

lyrics

don't let the world dictate to you
be your own girl
in a world that's you

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your time 

don't let the world
loose from your grasp
come up for air
whenever you get the chance 

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your 
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your time

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
don't listen to the boys 
they all screaming that it's true

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
but there's nobody out there
can do you as good as you

so don't let the world
edit out your past
look back with pride 
and don't
catapult so fast

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your 
wasting all your 
wasting all your time

Time, For Mary

On a park bench sat an old man all alone
Working the daily Sudoku
I didn’t really want to bother him
I asked if I could sit and rest a minute or two

He said life’s not so simple lad
Even with the modern advances we have made
They only seem to make you lazy and dumb
The young they will not work, yet they still want paid

With a nod of my head, I was on my way
Thinking of the things this old man had to say
It’s probably something that the generations voice
Was he speaking truth or only making noise?

Do we make life difficult in the choices that we make?
Or are our journeys left to chance?
Either way it’s not so simple what we choose
We still keep going forward; to the music we dance

Instrumental Bridge

My thinking soon got the best of me
I went back to the bench but the old man was gone
He left his paper and the puzzle on the bench
I could see that every space he filled was completely wrong

It’s not so simple running the rat’s race
It’s not so simple, looking through the wall
Does it really matter if the old man’s right or wrong?
We’ll settle in our old pine box and in the ground we fall

Not So Simple

Peace Message

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

High expectations, wishes and demands
You just wanted more and more
Your ego shone through..

You were insatiable
never got enough
I was exhausted
Did everything for you..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
so I give up
Baby, you're now on your own..

I never had time to take care of me
You made sure that i could only see you..

I ran out, had nothing more to give
I decided
This is not how I want to live..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on your own..

You were insatiable
Never got enough
I was exhausted
Did everything for you..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on you're own..

If you hadn't been so selfish
If you could be satisfied
It could have been us
You would still have me in your life..

But now you're on your own
I am moving on
And you have to deal with everything alone..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on your own!

Never Satisfied W/ Janne Hennie
