I wrote this song when I was traveling the world in my 20s. I arranged and wrote the instrumental parts. My former band The Borderless Puzzle recorded this version on our album Now Feel This. I'm playing the bass and singing.

Vocals : www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
- Verse One -
Do you remember when we were carefree?
When we didn't listen to no body
Do you remember the nights in Palm Beach?
I do
- Pre Chorus -
Walking underneath the palm trees
Figuring out what sights to see
Wondering where we'll get our next drink
I know
- Chorus -
Well I don't care
as long as I am with you
We could take on the whole town
So tell me if you're down
I can bring you to
- Verse Two -
Do you remember when we were at our best?
When any comments said were left on read
Do you remember the nights in Key West
I do
- Pre Chorus -
Walking underneath the palm trees
Figuring out what sights to see
Wondering where we'll get our next drink
I know
- Chorus -
Well I don't care
as long as I am with you
We could take on the whole town
So tell me if you're down
I can bring you to

Death of a generation written and produced by Jim Manser
mixed and mastered by Russ Sinfield
drum programming by Russ Sinfiled
taken from the forth-coming album Tales of generation x 
2023
lyrics 
let the birds fly free from the cage
a demonstration for freedom and this age
you left me hanging tell me how you feel
who broke the butterfly on a wheel
what we need is a revolution or nothing gonna change
fly the flags of a new solution power,greed ,and rage
spirit of the age

Death of a generation tell me what went wrong
for the peace and a new sensation who wrote another song
Death of a generation who signed an epitaph
all the clowns and the politicians who cut us down in half

who led the madmen from this house
rampaging elephants your the mouse
they smashed the kingdom broke down the fear
now it makes me wonder whats been left here
all the shops are empty because of capital gain
and you dont  even remember now things all look the same 
when thy crashed the plane
death of a generation what have we got left 
death of a generation they got away with theft
Death of a generation they want to take control
all the clowns and the politicians who want to take control
Death of a generation they thought they would change thhe world
but they lost all there levitation and all the dreams got sold
Death of a Generation they gave it all away
all the fools and the aggravation whats been left today
nothing left to say [lyrics by jim manser 2023]

EXPEDITION  by Paploviante (Remix)

We're Counting On You

Years have passed and I will never forget my one regret. A friend of mine jumped off of the Tobin Bridge in Boston because of the pressure his family put on him to send money back to them in his native country - They should all be crucified. This is my recollection. I should have been there for him that day - instead I was looking to be seen "AGAIN" - always craved attention... Full lyrics below
"
who was I to you guess I was just a ghost reached out to everyone and played the clown but it turned out you needed me the most I wish i never ever let you down - but I was just a kid and i was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
Was in the lunchroom making a cup of Joe - when you walked in trying to compose yourself - I felt like there was something I should know - but i bit my tongue cause I didn't want to pry - saw it in your eyes you were alone but carried on as if I didn't care truth was I was having a bad day consumed with all the problems of my own - but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
The next morning state police had questioned me they said that you had jumped the night before and even though they placed no blame on me - my aura showed that I was ugly
but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't d----

Let It Sink In - IPG1 & Paploviante

When the wonderful Sarah Golding mentioned to me that she would like to work with me again, I jumped at the chance. She has been a joy to work with and I am so proud of what we have created here.
You can hear more of Sarah at https://soundcloud.com/voiceofgolding

Her lyrics are shown below:

Hey shadow in the morning mist
Eyes of grey
Hey stranger, could you be the one?
Or the one that walked away?

Never mind destiny
What good is chance you never take?

Hey profile in the fog of night
Fade to black
Hey mystery, how would it end
If I turned back?

Never mind certainty
You can’t know
What serendipity you may forgo on another tack

Hey stranger (hey stranger)
Beautiful stranger

Hey moment, child of entropy
Pass me by
Each fleeting, tied to another day
In another life

Turn strange kaleidoscope
Vignettes in time
Hey stranger through the mist
Eyes wide

LA PHOTO

Pour la photo rapproches-toi,
Main sur le dos, donnes moi le bras.
Dans un sourire fixons la page
Et pas se dire, c’est un passage….

Beau ce cliché il est vivant,
Nos yeux brouillés en disent tant.
On y respire et çà se voit,
Tant de plaisir à être là.

Sur ce bristol tout en couleurs,
Marque l’envol d’un grand bonheur.
Dans ces images si belles en soi
Font un passage qu'on oublie pas,

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…
Je me tourne au futur
Le regard en av’nir,
Quand l’amour est bien mûr
Il me faut le cueillir.

Je regarde les rêves lointains,
Sans prendre garde on y revient,
Et toute la peine surgit si vite,
Quand les « on s’aime » prennent la fuite.

,Alors dis-moi que cette photo,
Elle restera comme le plus beau.
Qu’encore loin et même vieux
Ce papier peint sera nous deux.

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…
Je me tourne au futur
Le regard en av’nir,
Quand l’amour est bien mûr
Il me faut le cueillir.

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…
Je me tourne au futur
Le regard en av’nir,
Quand l’amour est bien mûr
Il me faut le cueillir.

Et pas du souvenir
En restant au présent,
Sans ne jamais me dire
C’était hier, antan…

Et pas du souvenir,,,

THE PHOTO

For the photo come closer,
Hand on your back, give me your arm.
With a smile let's stare at the page
And not to say to oneself, it is a passage….

Beautiful this shot it is alive,
Our blurred eyes say so much.
We breathe there and it shows,
So much fun to be there.

On this colorful bristol,
Marks the flight of great happiness.
In these images so beautiful in themselves
Make a passage that we don't forget,

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...
I turn to the future
Looking ahead,
When love is ripe
I have to pick it up.

I look at distant dreams,
Without taking heed we come back to it,
And all the pain arises so quickly,
When the "we love each other" run away.

So tell me that this photo,
She will remain as the most beautiful.
That still far and even old
This wallpaper will be the two of us.

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...
I turn to the future
Looking ahead,
When love is ripe
I have to pick it up.

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...
I turn to the future
Looking ahead,
When love is ripe
I have to pick it up.

And no memory
Staying in the present,
Without ever telling me
It was yesterday, yesteryear...

And no memory,,,

LA PHOTO (Chanson Française)

We're falling in a world that's upside down
From the grave through the womb into the light

No believing no faith no worshipping
We follow the knowledge of the heart
Tearing the paroketh apart

When the darkness comes upon us, show us the way, back into the light...

And we love while the world is in flames
We share scars that can't be healed
You and I both know, there's a long way back from hell
But in our hearts we know what no words can ever tell

Are we dreaming?
My love... 
Or did we just wake up?

No salvation in blind faith
No redemption in beliefs
We follow the light that dwells within... 

Oh holy mother, hear our prayers in the silence of the heart
When the darkness comes upon us show us the way back into the light... 

And we love while the world is in flames
We share scars that can't be healed
You and I both know, there's a long way back from hell
But in our hearts we know what no words can ever tell

From the wastelands of the mind
It's a long way back from hell 
From the shadows of the soul
It's a long long way, a long way back from hell

There´s a long way back from hell

There´s A Long Way Back From Hell

Lyrics:

It's dirty floors
And bloody walls
And broken glass I'm seeing
I tried to call
I tried to call
If you pick up, I'm screaming
Seen you freeze up when I tried to talk
If you try to talk, I hate it
If this gon' carry on
I shouldn't get involved, but
(I get high off it!)

I can't run away from this!
The way she spoke just made me sick!
Paint my walls red and drink a fifth!
Cause you still ain't holding me close
So wake me up when this gon' be over
The way you looked just made me get cold
Ring me up if you ever get lonely
I'm still in love so I'm prolly gon' fold

I keep running myself in circles
Tryna find any way back into your arms
But you still ain't holding me

Close, okay okay
I was gone for a minute, I'll be back in another now
Oh, okay I'll stay, started acting super freaky 
so I guess that she could get it now
Woah, yes that's my baby
I should prolly head home, she gon' hit me any minute now
Woah, it's okay if she hates me
I'm still stuck up on a chick that ain't worth saving

I know you hated every word I wrote
But baby I'm still singing
You wanna get involved?
I saw you text and call
But I'm too drunk to read them
I know it pissed you off when I would try to talk
I know that one of us is gonna end up getting hurt
Know you still want me dead, or worse
I hate fire but I watched it burn!
(I get high off it!)

I can't run away from this!
The way she spoke just made me sick!
Paint my walls red and drink a fifth!
Cause you still ain't holding me close
So wake me up when this gon' be over
The way you looked just made me get cold
Ring me up if you ever get lonely
I'm still in love so I'm prolly gon' fold
I can't run away from this!
The way she spoke just made me sick!
Paint my walls red and drink a fifth!
Cause you still ain't holding me close
So wake me up when this gon' be over
The way you looked just made me get cold
Ring me up if you ever get lonely
I'm still in love so I'm prolly gon' fold

I keep running myself in circles
Tryna find any way back into your arms
But you still ain't holding me!

*********************************
I’ve got only 5 minutes left to airplane departure 
So what’s this long line at the security check
 it’s a torture 

Take me to the gate 
I don’t want to be late 
I don’t want to miss the plane 
So please wait

Take me to the gate
I’m getting late 
There’s no more time left for me to hesitate 

Merciless announcement
"Last call for passengers on this outbound"

Officer, I’m not bringing anything dangerous
Get me through this security check 

Take me to the gate 
I don’t want to be late 
I don’t want to miss the plane 
So please wait

Take me to the gate
I’m getting late 
I want to go vacation 
To the island state 

I finally made it through
The security line was a zoo

 I'm walking fast
Making up for the time that's passed

Take me to the gate 
And let’s fly away 
To the new horizons that’s on the way

Take Me To The Gate

LYRICS
--------------------------
A secret knock, a hidden door, a narrow hallway
The eyeless guide sees us inside, watching us always
As we meander down the aisles, 
Rows of spines which stretch for miles
And we show our special card
On the scent of another shard

A vaulted dome, a musty tome, an umbrous alcove
A sacred space, a quiet place, a sunken treasure trove
Details infinitesimal
Dewiest of decimals
Ever stranger truth to know
As we squish the forbidden fruit between our toes

A deeper shaft, an ancient craft, a garish goblin
The icy stare, the purple hair, a memory maudlin
Going deep down in the mines
With a shining pick to grind
The librarian lights the way
Understands the game we play

A puzzle piece, a glob of grease, a rusted lever
A blazing fire, we never tire, we nurse our fever
Run our fingers down the crease
Gently comb the golden fleece
Read aloud the sacred scroll
Let's show these muggles how we roll

They cant stand you, they want to ban you
They want to sterilize and pack you up and can you
They prefer truth that's mass produced
Because they're lacking the tenacity to grasp you
So let me ask you: what's the bigger threat?
While we're waiiting on a bomb you haven't dropped yet
They'd rather burn you then have to learn you
Their little fingers are too slippery to turn you
The truth waits for us to dissect it
And librarians are here to protect it
So grab some glasses if you need
And climb atop the worlds' mightiest steed
We're gonna read until our fingers bleed
It's a seed, it's a need, it's an urge you gotta heed
It's a growl in your stomach that you know you gotta feed
Let's show 'em how to read!

Don't Leave Me Alone - Reprise

Recalling some tequila, love words and more with them in that Ibiza bar, I wondered: “What if Pink Floyd met the spirit of Camarón de la Isla… in my bedroom?” I used lots of guitars, basses, etc. on a 12/8 beat, to enclose 3/4, 6/4 & 8/8 rhythms along.

Letra / Translated Lyrics: EL POZO DE TU AMOR  /  THE WELL OF YOUR LOVE

Fui a abrir el grifo, estaba sediento,  /  I turned on the tap, I was thirsty,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Fui a abrir el grifo, necesitaba hacerlo,  /  I turned on the tap, I needed to do it,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el grifo de tu amor.  /  I needed the trap of your love.

Fui a bajar al pozo, me estaba muriendo,  /  I was going into the well, I was dying,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Fui a bajar al pozo, y me caí dentro,  /  I was going into the well, and fell inside,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

Por bajar al pozo, yo me caí dentro  /  Because of going into the well, I fell inside
y no quiero que nadie llore por mis lamentos  /  and I don’t want anybody to cry for my laments

Caí… por ti.  /  I fell … for you.
Caí… caí… caí por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell for you.
Caí… a tu pozo, caí por ti.  /  I fell … into your well, fell for you.
Caí… caí… caí… caí a tu pozo por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell … fell into your well for you.
Caí.  /  I fell.

Me he caído al pozo, y ahora que estoy dentro  /  I have fallen into the well, and now I’m inside
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Vine a beber al pozo, pero el pozo está seco,  /  I came to drink at the well, but the well is dry,
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.
