Thanks a lot Jan and Amanda for your passion and your dedication to create this excellent song!

IF ONLY

If only you could see through my eyes
If only I could find just one more way
If only we could go back in time
If the two of us didn’t feel so lonely

If only could be sublime

And I will never forget
I remember your tender embrace
I miss gazing into your eyes
I miss hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Feeling your love

And yet
There’s so much more
Why I walked out that door
I can’t ever forget
Lying on my back 
On a cold floor

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If we could get back to just having fun
If everything could be undone
If we could live on regret
If the two of us, had never met
If no-one had to run

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

I pray from Monday to Sunday
I pray for both of our souls
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If Only - with Amanda Sanderson & The Gat(s)

Long Time Gone was originally written as a “swing” blues for a recording session with Bill Kavanagh's Blues Affliction in 2014 (SC link below).
	In keeping with my fascination for eccentric rhythms, I later thought I would try it in a 7 beat meter.   The result was good enough that I asked Foresto, N.O.B.S., and Tot. to give me a hand.   These very talented musicians had joined with me previously on “Heart of Snow” (SC link below).
	The track came out even better than I had hoped ... retaining all the characteristics of a rock/funk boogie while losing none of the odd feel of the unusual meter.

Lyrics
        we're a short time here and a long time gone
	we're just a short time here but we're a long time gone
	make hay while the sun shines you can't once it's down

        you might dance with the devil but that don't make him your friend
        you might gamble on the devil but that don't mean you're gonna win
        best to keep your cards close you just might meet him again

        perhaps I'm just a fool behind a sage's mask
        I keep posing questions only heathens ask
        may be come judgement day I will pay for my faithless past

        we're a short time here and a long time gone
	we're just a short time here but we're a long, long time gone
	make hay while the sun shines you can't once it's down

yes we're a long, long time gone

彷徨う心
体が疼いているんだ

全力だった
あの日の事が

きっと血が騒いでるんだ

センス皆無の閃きで
世界を変えちまえ

Blazing Higher Dance

Some people carry around a secret, a carefully buried basic feeling or a wish that is locked away deep in the abyss of their soul. Often it is only when death is already in the doorway that they can bring up and communicate what has been hidden for so long.  
This is also what happened in this true story, in which a man can only tell his wife how he really feels about her just before he dies of cancer. 

Lyrics in English:

The Last Words

I'm lying here in hospice
Eaten up by cancer

I'm at stage four
I'm about to be killed 
Can't see anything more

My body fully tattooed
Now as skeletonized
My fitness-treated muscles

Mercilessly pureed 
I've never felt so strong
Yeah, I must be losing myself as a hero   

You sit at the edge of the bed
Swimming in a sea of tears
Yes this softness is incredibly difficult for me

You cried for me
Rhymed the most beautiful funeral poems for me
Lived for me the pain
With noble dignity

I'm stuck in a tank dress
Even in the deepest suffering
Can't I tell you how I feel

Fuck!
I'm a John Wayne idiot

I'm as good as dead
And it wants out
I push, cramp, swallow:
I love you

Don't look at me like that
I really mean it

There is no more repetition
I just die now
Please let me go

Somewhere in the next life
Let's meet for a beer
I promise you that
But please stay for a very long time- 

There!
Get the fuck out of here
I'm already dead in my grave

Cancer has won
Got me down

OKAY
No more fighting

I'm leaving now ahead of schedule
Cancer has freed me
Come black brother, take me with you
Wherever to go

Deutscher Originaltext:

Die letzten Worte

Lieg` hier im Hospiz
Vom Krebs zerfressen

Bin im Stadium 4
Gleich ist`s um mich geschehen 
Kann nichts mehr sehen

Mein Körper voll tätowiert
Nun wie skelettiert
Meine Fitness-gestählten Muckies

Gnadenlos püriert
Hab`mich noch nie so stark gespürt
Ja muß mich wohl als Held verlier`n

Du sitzt am Bettrand
Schwimmst im Tränenmeer
Ja dieses Weiche fällt mir unglaublich schwer

Hast für mich geweint
Die schönsten Trauergedichte gereimt
Lebtest für mich den Schmerz
Mit edler Würde

Steck´ im Panzerkleid
Selbst im tiefsten Leid
Kann ich Dir nicht sagen, was ich fühle

Fuck!
Bin ein John-Wayne-Idiot!

Bin so gut wie tot
Und es will heraus

Ich presse, krampfe, schlucke:
Ich liebe Dich

Schau`mich nicht so an
Ja das mein` ich wirklich

Ein nochmal gibts nicht mehr
Ich sterb` jetzt einfach
Lass` mich bitte gehen

Irgendwo im nächsten Leben
Treffen wir uns mal auf`n Bier

Das versprech` ich Dir
Doch bitte bleib` jetzt noch ganz lange – 

Hier!
Hau jetzt endlich ab
Lieg` schon tot im Grab

Der Krebs hat gesiegt
Hat mich untergekriegt

O.K.
Kein Kämpfen mehr

Geh` jetzt vor der Zeit
Der Krebs hat mich befreit

Komm nimm mich schwarzer Bruder
Egal wohin

Daydreams Of Tomorrow

Written by Terry Reeves

Watching my brother Bri living out the last few months of his life was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.  We had been told that there was no cure for his illness and that, at some point, the inevitable would happen.  But right up until the final few days, he refused to accept this, believing that, somewhere out there, there was some magical remedy he would find to take it all away.  He consulted with so many ‘alternative’ therapists, who all promised their brand of snake oil would deliver him from all that ailed him.  These were always both expensive and totally useless.  

A few weeks before he died, I was sitting by his hospital bed when he actually asked me, “Do You Believe In Magic?”  Knowing what I knew, what possible answer could I give?  Bri already knew the answer too but, all the same, I wished I could have given a convincing and unequivocal ‘yes’.  Difficult though it undoubtedly was, I had to reply that I didn’t but wanting to support him as best I could, told him I believed in him and would always love him 

There is nothing worse than watching someone in their final moments, particularly when they have been such an essential part of your life.  As you get older, facing this scenario becomes unavoidable and though age provides a better understanding of the fact, it never reduces the pain.  Both Gal and I faced similar bedside questions from Bri and this song tries to reflect those onerous, interminable times when one has to be both supportive and honest all at the same time.   

What can you say about Hans that hasn’t already been said?  When I sent him the demo of this song I did wonder if the subject matter may prove difficult.  But his  incredible ability to manifest every emotional nuance in his arrangements is something that always inspires and impresses, as demonstrated so beautifully here.  (Terry Reeves)

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in changing world?
Do you believe it's tragic?
Do you believe there's more to be told? 

Casting spells with waving hands
Praying thoughts with pagan strands
Making deals with Devil's soul
Sharing fears for spirit parole
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in immortal thoughts?
Do you believe in metric?
Do you believe in nine times nought? 

Tribal dancing, releasing curse
Tantric thinking, avoid the worse
Watching stars for future needs
Not drinking tea but reading leaves
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in sacrifice? 
Do you believe in panic?
Do you believe in rolling dice?

Chanting mantras one more day
Reiki heat takes pain away
Resurrection not in the plan
Wooden cross protect the man
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in searching prayer?
Do you believe in medics?
Do you believe in going nowhere? 

Holding bible in folded arms
Writing words, performing psalms
Chasing shadows, finding light
Avoid the truth, increase the fight
(Repeat verse)

No, no

Do you believe in magic? (Repeat until end)

Das ist mein *Demo*-Track für den Fury 800 von @full-bucket.

Ich hatte schon während des Beta-Tests viele Ideen gesammelt um  zu zeigen, welche Möglichkeiten der Fury 800 klanglich eröffnet. Durch verschiedene Dinge hat sich nun ein anderer Verlauf ergeben, so dass ich die Demo erst nach dem KVR-OSC-Wettbewerb fertig machen konnte :)
Zu dem Synth und meine Meinung dazu findet Ihr alles in meinem Track Rotation 31, zu finden unter https://soundcloud.com/kraftraum/kraftraum-rotation-31-fury800, wieder.

Die Demo enthält 6 verschiedene Abschnitte, die ich auch gekennzeichnet habe:
Part 1: Tanz auf dem Flur
Part 2: Fury800 Impressionen
Part 3: Alpha 44
Part 4: Langsame Atome
Part 5: Alpha 45
Part 6: Abschluss-Tanz

Alle Presets sind von mir von Grund auf erstellt worden. Ich habe sie Björn zur exklusiven Veröffentlichung auf seiner Webpage gegeben. Wenn Björn diese bereitgestellt hat solltet Ihr diese unter folgender Adresse finden:
https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fury800.html.

Zusätzliche habe ich weitere 100 zusätzliche Presets für den Fury 800 erstellt und ebenfalls Björn exklusiv bereitgestellt, zu findne auf der gleichen Seite.

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare sind wie immer herzlich willkommen:)

This is my *demo*-track for the Fury 800 from @full-bucket.

During the beta test, I had already collected a lot of ideas to show what possibilities the Fury 800 opened up in terms of sound. Due to various things, a different course has now arisen, so that I could only finish the demo after the KVR-OSC competition :)
You can find everything about the synth and my opinion on it in my track Rotation 31, which can be found at https://soundcloud.com/kraftraum/kraftraum-rotation-31-fury800.

The demo has 6 different sections that I also marked:
Part 1: Tanz auf dem Flur
Part 2: Fury800 Impressionen
Part 3: Alpha 44
Part 4: Langsame Atome
Part 5: Alpha 45
Part 6: Abschluss-Tanz

All presets have been created by me from scratch. I have you Björn on for exclusive publication
given on his webpage. If Björn take them up for public you should find it at the following address:
https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fury800.html.

I also created another 100 additional presets for the Fury 800 and also provided Björn exclusively, to be found on the same page.

Have fun listening and, as always, comments are very welcome :)

LA NOSTALGIE 

.......
Retour à la souffrance, in mémoria, réminiscor..
J'ai parcouru tout tes voyages, rouge à lèvres, dentelles et remords
J'effeuille souvenirs un à un, dénude l'épaule du "c'était mieux avant "
Secrets mordus jusqu'au sang
Au filtre de l'affect qui lui aime tant à tricher
La nostalgie c'est le voyage, mais sans jamais y arriver..

La nostalgie (  Extrait )

It's Stones Covers Tuesday! When we were 20, my friend Micha and I had been spending dozens of hours in his small red car driving from gig to gig. The car had a tape deck, and the only tape we had was some Rolling Stones concert bootleg. Since then, this song has always been one of my favorites, and my take on it is to have added a bit more junkie feel.

Dead Flowers

Rock, Rock, Rock and no Alternative …
Rock is not dead, you can validate the evidences here.
People who want to get mellow might be wrong on this site, but are more than welcome to take up some energy here 😀
I am playing guitar and Bass. Keyboards and Drums are programmed.
Mix and Mastering was done in the „N.o.b.S. Moonshine Studios“ in Mainz Germany.
Nearly everything had been recorded during the night, sometimes at daylight on weekends.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.
