Life is like a puzzle made of numerous moments and memories.
Even the most beautiful puzzle eventually comes to an end
and offers a wonderful work of art called life.

Writing a song for a loved one is the most
beautiful thing in a musician's life.


        THE WAY WITHOUT YOU

	You were the center
	The Center of our life
	You were always there for us…
	and more

	Having you as a mother 
	It was something great
	And with you we were one
	The great Four

	1: When the Sky turned gray		
	The lights were shining		    	
	In those times the fate took over	
	Without a hint					

         2 : Your journey has only
         just begun
         Now you’re in a better place
         and for us our sun

		Nothing will be the same as it used to be
		Letting go of you hurts, until our thoughts are free
			
				We miss your laughing
				Miss your closeness
				Things that have made you out

				And the time will
				Will decide
				What the way will look like now

				The way without you        The way without you

	You’ve rarely been lucky
	Never moaned in your life
	Not everything passed you without a trace
	Oh no !!!

	It’s a great feeling
	Have given you something back
	Your smile was a great reward
	We let go       							
			      	
        we carry your light in our hearts

THE WAY WITHOUT YOU

He who lives in the memory of his loved ones is not dead, he is only distant. Dead is only who is forgotten. - Immanuel Kant

        The Shining Sky
        
        I’m still surrounded by the darkness
	and it seems like yesterday
	iI's like a never ending process
	I am here and you are on the way
	
	And there is still so much that I want to telling you
	but I think you already knew it long ago

	I am now looking up
	to the shining sky
	Want to get out of the dark
	no longer wants to asking why

	I am now looking up
	to the shining sky
	Nothing is the way it was
	but now I want to stop cry

	Whenever i drive by your window
	I see you waving to me
	Your smile is like a rainbow
	and will remain so for all eternity

	You brought a lot of love into my life
	and I always want to touch your light

The Shining Sky

THE SHINING SKY

The song DIVIDED BY LIES was written because of the fact
that in the last almost eighteen months of the pandemic,
most people around the world have been lied to and
deprived of their freedoms by their governments.
The attempt to divide people into two classes is
now the next chapter in a failed policy.

it came out of nowhere
	and they made it so big
	their true face now appeared
 
	life now consisted only of fear (echo)
 
		now there is 
		there is only one truth for all

		and this truth 
		is enforced 
		by all means
		to stay in control
 
			hey you out there
			please don't put up with everything
			we cannot accept it now 
			to be divided by these liar kings
 
	to lose a loved one
	and no goodbye allowed
	we will never forgive them again
 
	they broke the laws and we cried in the rain (echo)
 
		and that means
		there is only one way out
 
		be honest at last
		you need no cash
		but ONE folk
		repeat it but loud

THESE DAYS ARE FOREVER - Christmas Memories

THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN

This song was created after a tragic accident from 2019 in which a little boy lost his life. 
It is intended to give hope and courage to all those who also suffer a serious loss in their lives out of nowhere.
It would be very nice if this song could do this at least a little.


        one moment under a clear blue sky
	can change your life you don't know why
	but from now on nothing is the same anymore

	the darkness lies over your heart
	the fate is playing the last card
	and from now you see your love nevermore

		but all your love and faith
		will help you to find your new way
		and your love lives forever in your heart

				after the storm and the rain
				the sun will shine again
				and the time can heal the pain

				after the storm and the rain
				the sun will shine again
				and the time can heal the pain

  	so many tears flow to the earth
	i couldn't protect you it's the worst
	but the fate had something else for you

	remember the time before the storm
	so many moments since your love was born
	Moments when the light shines through

THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN

This song is for my many friends and all people in Ukraine.
Russia may try to cause suffering and harm to the people of Ukraine.
But their pride and love for their country Russia will NEVER be able to destroy !!!!
I can only hope that this senseless and cowardly war will end soon.
And that the causer will pay his price.
It would be nice if the song gives people a little hope to go through their struggle for their country.

        UKRAINE WILL NEVER HIDE

	I see the pictures over and over again
	the curse of war lies over the country… it’s a shame
	
	the smoke of death now blows through the streets	
        the people stand together and fight - no retreat

		is it not insane ?
		that one man brings them so much pain ?

			I stand by the side with ukraine
			and I hope that the good wins the fight again
			to be attacked without reason
			and now in the fight
			this will never be forgiven
			ukraine will never hide
			
			oh no, oh no, oh no no no, oh no
	
	people who are friendly and so nice
	live now in fear and terror…one man will pay the price

	i pray for all the victims in this war
	and they will never never forget - nevermore !!!

UKRAINE WILL NEVER HIDE

Hello
At the end of January I had the idea to start a project, in which as many artists as possible should participate.
I wrote a song which should give the different artists the possibility to bring in their style.
The song should take the listener on a journey to let him experience the creation of our songs.

MUSIC COMES FROM OUR HEARTS was born.

And here are the artists who brought this song to life:

Anne-Marie (RnAM) - Vocals
Torrey Bliss - Vocals
David Snyder - Vocals
Hans (Birchwood) - Vocals
David (Deej56) - Vocals
Scott (Ezekiel's Storm) - Vocals
Andi (PROJECT M) - Vocals
Marty (BabuMusic) - Bass
Wolfgang (PROJECT M) - Solo Guitar
Dave (BlueAttitude) - Solo Guitar & Fills

And Rob (RnAM) who mixed this song under difficult conditions and created a fantastic sound !

Music Comes From Our Hearts

THE USER SHOWCASE SONG PROJECT - Music Comes From Our Hearts

The Maldives 
The Dream Islands become the scene of the karmic love of the soul mate of the tour guide Salia and the local Mohamed. In an odyssey, she battles her heart against culture and religion, and ultimately against herself, against the backdrop of one of the world's last paradises.  Love knows no fear. Let your faith in it grow like a flower. Give it water, let the sun shine on it and take care of it. At night you will not be able to see it, but it is still there. It will take time, but you will get a sign ... - "

The song is based on the book PARADIESLEBEN by my girlfriend and author PETRA RIEWE. 
LIVING IN PARADISE shows only a part of this incredible true story.

LIVING IN PARADISE

Not everything in life goes the way you think it will.
Some things you see coming, some things come as a complete surprise.
Well, I simply underestimated the looming disaster in my relationship....

you and I
	
it was the first look into your blue eyes
that got me feeling this this is paradise

from then on began the best time in our lives
without suspecting what the fate should still decide

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me

everything seemed right and felt good
until our lives got stuck in a loop
	
and i saw the danger much too late
but you were already far far away

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me
		
solo

today we are best friends
everyone has his chance
it was a great time
and makes our memories shine

This is the way to live!
Take in the small joys
Until the great happiness comes.
And if it does not come
then at least you had
had the "little joys".

- THEODOR FONTANE -

This Song was created against the background that very many people in this day and age have to lead a life that demands a lot from them but does not give much back.
The consequence is for these people a life without or only with little joy!
Especially at Christmas time we would like to give these people a little courage and hope, so that they also try to get a little piece of life.

Try To Get A Little Piece Of Life

After watching the movie ALL MY LIFE about the true story of JENNIFER CARTER and SOLOMON CHAU I decided to write this song.
JENNIFER und SOL were destined for each other and fell in love in no time. But the fate wanted it completely differently. A short time later SOL was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. But that didn't stop them from wanting to get married and spend the time they had left together...
They could not change their fate, but their love gave their lives meaning until the end. 

Therefore always remember:

ALL YOUR LIFE - LOVE LIKE THERE's NO TOMORROW

	the first look and we can do nothing more
	and our life now shines together like a star

	from now on there’s a lot for us to explore
	everything we give ourselves comes from the heart
	
		but as always in our life 
		everything can change so fast
		then it doesn’t shine so bright
		and the fate decides at last

	the love shows us the way every day
	and gives us strength to face what is now to come

	our promise now is given let us pray
	cause much in our lives is still undone

		but as always in our life 
		everything can change so fast
		then it doesn’t shine so bright
		and the fate decides at last

			all your life
			love like there’s no tomorrow
			waste no time
			and listen to your heart

			all your life
			love like there’s no tomorrow
			waste no time
			and listen to your heart

ALL YOUR LIFE

ALL YOUR LIFE

For some time now, one can read more and more frequently
about children being abused or even killed by their parents or relatives.
And this worldwide.
In Germany these cases are also increasing rapidly...
And often this happens because friends and acquaintances
and also the youth welfare offices look away and remain silent !
When I read something like this, it makes me infinitely sad and
that's why I decided to write a song to help the children a little and maybe
contribute to the fact that the children and hopefully raise awareness of this 
growing problem and these children's plight.
 
If even ONE CHILD has less fear and pain through our song,
the work has already been WORTH IT !!!!
 
Don't Look Away
 
See him in his silence 
See her in her dread 
Neglect that leads to violence 
And we just turn our heads
 
They live in fear every day 
And hide behind the words they say 
A blackened eye, a broken bone 
Just one more lie in a loveless home 
 
And even if you don't see it 
It happens anyway 
This damn shame is everywhere 
It happens everyday 

Children must be happy 
Children must be loved 
Children need attention 
Is that asking way too much?
 
And when you see 
And when you feel 
That something’s not OK 
Don’t look away
 
We’re the only hope they have left 
The path to the light ahead 
Let's care enough to recognize 
They’re too young to help themselves 
 
They don’t know what love feels like 
They’ve never had a friend 
They hide the scars and bruises  
When will this madness end 
 
And even if you don't see it 
It happens anyway 
This damn shame is everywhere 
It happens everyday
 
Children must be happy 
Children must be loved 
Children need attention 
Is that asking way too much?
 
And when you see
And when you feel 
That something’s not OK 
Don’t look away

The year is drawing to a close.  
And what could be more natural than 
to dedicate a song to the people who 
are close to you, who are always there 
for you and who make your life worth living.

You Are The Best Thing In My Life

So I’m trying to find someway to explain
When I need a friend you’re always there I know
And those moments when I’m standing in the rain
You bring sunshine and the storm I’m in just goes

And even when my winters bring me down
You’re the fire in my heart
You melt everything around

You are the best thing in my life
And all I need
You’re everything that I could ever dream

You are the best thing in my life
You’re all I see
With every day you shine more bright
Yeah, you are the best thing in my life

Sometimes I find myself so lost
My faith a broken compass
My North an albatross

But when I feel abandoned and alone
You bring me back to center
And guide me back to home

And even when the darkness circles round
You chase the chains of midnight
And burn my prison down

YOU ARE THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE by SOUND GUARDIANS

How many things do we do every day for the last time?
Think about it.
These can be big things, such as giving a loved one a hug, or smaller things, such as listening to your favorite song on the radio.
No matter what it is, enjoy your life so that every moment makes your life something unique !!!


The Last Time
 
Standing on the corner
Alone under the rain
I gave you my umbrella
And I never was the same
 
And I think I grew a foot or two
When you smiled and said my name
Looking back you’d call it fate
But somethings you can’t explain
 
The last time in our lives
It may just be the first time
You don’t know
The world just changes
The first time in our lives
It may just be the last time
Don’t let it go
Hold on for ages
 
I remember how you whispered
Sometimes it’s just goodbye
And you never see it coming
No matter how you try
 
And I heard the lie in your helpless sigh
As you told me it’s okay
Don’t worry about tomorrow
Keep living for today

GONE FROM THIS WORLD
	
 VERSE 1:
	Empty room
	Empty thoughts
	Gone too soon
	Still I remember
	Memories
	Will fade away
	Hold them close
	Or they disappear forever

	VERSE 2:
	Lonely nights, cold and blue 
	The sweet starlight
	Reminds me of you
	But all that’s left
	Is this empty space
	The ghosts of love that
	Will forever haunt this place
		
		BRIDGE:
		Broken hearts
		Shattered dreams
		The pain is sharp 
		And suffocating
		Every corner of my mind
		Every minute of my time
		Left in ruins
		Help me find the light

			CHORUS:
			Gone from this World
			But not from my heart
			Forever in my soul
			However far you are from me

			Gone from this world
			But you’ll always be a part
			Of everything I’ll ever be
			You’ll always be the best of me

GONE FROM THIS WORLD by SOUND GUARDIANS

When Air India Flight 171 crashed shortly after take-off on June 12, 2025, 260 people died and with them their dreams.
Among them was the Joshi family. The family was on their way to a new life together. Father Prateek Joshi had already been working as a radiologist at Derby University Hospital in England for four years. Now his family and wife Komi Vyas, also a doctor, were to join him. He had traveled back to India to accompany his wife and children on the flight to London. Daughter Miraya was eight years old, the twins Nakul and Pradyut five. Just before take-off, they took a cheerful selfie for their loved ones. It was to be one of the saddest photos ever...
This song was inspired by the fate of this family and is also dedicated to the Joshi family.
But the song is also intended to encourage all those who want to change their lives for the better and are not afraid to take risks.

BETWEEN HOPE AND HEAVEN
Music & Lyrics: A. MELZER & DJ LEKICH

[Verse 1]
They packed their bags in the midnight glow
Left the town they used to know
A small house on a dusty lane
A life’s struggle, endless strain
They’re gonna leave the pain, put the future on the line

[Verse 2]
With his wife and his kids in tow
He whispered, „Loves, now it’s time to go“
A one-way ticket, dreams held tight
Gonna chase these stars through the endless night
Feels so right with the future on the line

[Chorus]
Between hope and heaven
They’re gonna find their way
They’re gonna leave behind the shadows of yesterday
With hearts so heavy, but spirits high
Gonna take to the clouds, and together they’ll fly
And make their way to where their futures lies
Between hope and heaven

[Verse 3]
The old life fades as the engines roar
A world unseen on that distant shore
His little girl clutches his hand
Eyes wide with wonder for the promised land
She understands the future’s on the line

[Bridge]
And so in life it comes to this
You take a chance, you take a risk
An angel’s touch or a devil’s kiss
And hope and heaven is all there is
