Planet Purple (Kazditi Remix)

Immerse yourself in the pulsating rhythms of "Holiday Dreams," a synthwave track that transports you to a neon-lit dreamscape. This track is a sonic journey, blending nostalgic 80s synths with modern electronic elements. The melody, like a wave on a digital ocean, ebbs and flows, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and euphoria.

HOLIDAY DREAMS

Second part of my father trilogy.
This song is based on a dream I had a good 20 years ago with my father, who had been dead for some time. 
I am in a dimly lit room. It's just me and somehow my father's energy body. At some point, this invisible energy body comes towards me. Then we embrace. It is a merging embrace. Something deep inside me releases and makes me cry. It's not so much a sad cry, but a liberating, soothing cry that pacifies me completely. 
Since this dream, the grudge I harboured against him for a long time has largely disappeared.     
Somehow he has been there inside me since then and I can sometimes visit him (even in dreams) when I want to talk to him.

The arrangement of the song is deliberately minimalist (just vocals, guitar and violin, hardly any effects) in order to emphasise the tremendous intimacy of the encounter between my father and me in the dream described above (there is no longer a "leaf" between us).

My Father  (Lyrics in English)

Would so like to talk to you
Break through the walls to the hereafter
Meet you in a moon cafe
On chairs that stand here and there

You died before the Berlin Wall came down
My son was born on the day you died
Never saw my beautiful wife
Although you had aimed 
For a hundred years of life

You only reached half of it
Life was rarely really easy for you

You were often too close to the stars
Underestimated the danger to your life
Had so many visions
Wanted to live in castles in the air

Then you were all there again
So clairvoyant, wise and clear

Would love to have you with me now
My father, I would love to have you here now 

The dividing wall to you is now open
I haven't met you for so long
You're waiting for me in the moon cafe
I see you in the soft twilight

I want to tell you so many things
What happened after you left
You still wanted to experience it all
Your early death did not grant you that

You were so torn, the demons, they tore at you
You loved the rush, had little sense of yourself

And yet you were in deep distress
My ever-protecting boat
My steadying hand
The lighthouse in my land of chaos

You gave up the shirt off your back
That ultimately cost you your life

Would love to have you with me now
My father, I wish you were here now


Mein Vater (Deutscher Originaltext)

Möchte so gern mit Dir sprechen
Die Mauern zum Jenseits durchbrechen
Dich in einem Mond-Cafe` treffen
Auf Stühlen, die hier und dort stehen

Vor dem (Berliner) Mauerfall bist Du gestorben
An Deinem Todestag wurde mein Sohn geboren
Hast meine schöne Frau niemals erlebt
Dabei hattest Du 
Hundert Jahre Leben angestrebt

Hast grad‘ mal gut die Hälfte davon erreicht
Das Leben war für Dich selten wirklich leicht

Warst oft den Sternen zu nah
Unterschätztest die Lebensgefahr
Hattest so viele Visionen
Wolltest in Luftschlössern wohnen

Dann warst Du wieder ganz da
So hellsichtig, weise und klar

Hätt‘ Dich so gern jetzt bei mir
Mein Vater, hätt‘ Dich jetzt gern hier 

Die Trennwand zu Dir steht jetzt offen
So lange hab‘ ich Dich nicht getroffen
Du wartest im Mond-Cafe‘ auf mich
Ich seh‘ Dich im zarten Dämmerlicht

Ich will Dir so vieles erzählen
Was so geschah nach Deinem Fortgehen
Du wolltest das alles noch erleben
Dein früher Tod hat Dir das nicht vergönnt

Warst so zerrissen, die Dämonen, sie zerrten an Dir
Liebtest den Rausch, hattest für Dich wenig Feingespür

Und dennoch warst Du in tiefer Not
Mein stets mich schützendes Boot
Meine mir haltgebende Hand
Der Leuchtturm in meinem Chaos-Land

Hast Dein letztes Hemd hergegeben
Das kostete Dich letztlich Dein Leben

Hätt‘ Dich so gern jetzt bei mir
Mein Vater, hätt‘ Dich jetzt gern hier

Mein Vater (My Father)

Finally getting this up on Soundcloud! I previously submitted this for a contest a few months back and didn't land the official release and honestly kind of forgot I didn't upload here 😂. SO, without further ado, I really hope you enjoy this remix! Up for a Free Download too without any gates or anything. This is one I can listen to over and over again and not get sick of it. I hope you listen over and over again too 🤍🦢

Sometimes the beat is more important than the melody, I tried to make pleasant and modern music from simple motifs, using guitar, drums, and Ableton tools.

Given the very recent events surrounding the war between Russia and Ukraine, the upheavals brought by Trump, and the dozens of ongoing conflicts around the world - definitely not the kind of stuff that lets you sleep soundly - we came up with this song!  
We were actually supposed to release a completely different track, a parody about voice assistants at home, but obviously, the theme of war and chaos ended up taking over.  
Enjoy the listen, and if you’re an Alexa & Co. user, stay tuned - our next song will surely get a sarcastic nod of approval from you! Let’s just hope that by the time it’s out, the conflict in Ukraine will have, in some way, come to an end.
Released on major streaming platforms on February 24, 2025.

Lyrics:

All around the world’s unraveling
Searching for peace while madmen pull strings
Turning lives into pawns feeding their tanks
Filling their ranks with our lives

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Was it ever more than a fragile dream
Here on Earth down here in chaos
Caught in the gears of someone else's scheme
Feeling the weight of our lost cause

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

In the shadow of shattered dreams
We're searching for a spark of hope
Through the chaos and gears it seems
We're just too far around to cope

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Chaos and Gears

YouTube Short

Do I seem lighter now?
Do I pirouette into the room?
Have the shades all been ripped away?
Are the bleeding hearts now in bloom?
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Tonight

Do I seem happy now?
Am I now a joyful sight?
I think I used to be funny
Let's see if I am when I see you tonight
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Lovely, the way your skin adheres to mine
Lovely, the hills I trace down your spine
Lovely, all the ways you are tonight, on this

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
When we burn most bright
