With its delicate layers of ethereal synths and subtle, evolving textures, the piece creates an atmosphere of weightlessness, as if one is drifting through a peaceful dreamscape. The composition’s gradual build and interesting rhythm allow for deep relaxation, while the gentle harmonic shifts maintain an air of mystery, inviting introspection.

Catch Me If You Dare

Produced and written by Sarah Paradise-Brown

Something feels broken
Something inside
I often wonder
Why I’m not like the other guys

Something feels distant
Good times get pushed aside
The closer you hold me
The further I reside

Were you faking when
You said it felt so good

Don’t touch my skin
I can’t breathe when you pull me in
Love’s just a word
I’ve only heard
What love should be
Cause I was never shown
How love should feel
How love should feel

Tell me if you’re feeling tired
Tell me if you’re feeling tired

Don’t touch my skin
I can’t breathe when you pull me in
Love’s just a word
I’ve only heard
What love should be
Cause I was never shown
How love should feel
How love should feel

How Love Should Feel

PRIMEROS PASOS

Un tambaleo y tus ojitos son
unos luceros buscando protección
y también un mundo bajo tus pies.

Manitas altas y un nuevo tropezón
en una danza sin red y sin guión
que te da suelo y cielo a la vez.

Estribillo

Primeros pasos para mi sol
tu primavera, tu despertar
allí estaré si quiero verte brillar.

Primeros pasos ¡qué ilusión!
si tienes dudas vigilaré
me ocuparé de mantenerte en pie.

----------------------

Te caes, ries y vuelves a empezar
en cada paso se ve la decisión
de seguir con valor y tesón.

Estribillo

Primeros pasos, pura ternura,
así comienza la gran aventura…

FIRST STEPS

A wobble and your little eyes are
stars seeking protection
and also a world beneath your feet.

High hands and a new stumble
in a dance without a net and without a script
that gives you ground and sky at the same time.

Chorus

First steps for my sun
your spring, your awakening
I'll be there if I want to see you shine.

First steps, what an illusion!
if you have doubts, I'll watch
and I'll make sure you stay on your feet.

----------------------

You fall, laugh, and start again
in every step you see the decision
to continue with courage and determination.

Chorus

First steps, pure tenderness,
thus begins the great adventure...

A spontaneous cooperation between me and my beloved son Freddy. Almost in one take. Yesterday, Friday, 1.3.2019, we felt like singing about the upcoming spring with an eight year old song of mine (to be heard on my SC account on my private album "Talibu" in a still quite lamented version). Freddy on the percussions and me on the guitar and singing.  
And for me a relaxed return to the basics (simply guitar, vocals and percussion) in view of the sometimes more and more complex tracks that have come to my mind lately. And also a song with a rather optimistic mood, which is a bit in contrast to my rather melancholic songwriter disposition.   

Lyrics in English:

Spring

I don't feel like being depressed anymore
to settle in and to spare myself

I don't feel like the whining blues anymore 
I am tired of the non-standing-up morning greeting

I'm pulling down the curtain
I feel lively again

I want to get out of my shell now 
was long enough a gray mouse

Spring comes in to me 
comes you free, from the pit, from the death certificate

Radiates all over my face 
light at last, gout over, and he speaks:

Your salvation is approaching, narrow ridge, barbed wire, almost bloodbath
The winter was near, almost drew me under its spell, the dark delusion

Spring pull me on land now!
Spring please turn me on

I was deep down in myself
I almost felt like I was drowned

Thought it'd never pass 
I felt like a rotten egg

But now it goes on 
without a black rider

I get to go for another spin 
I am allowed to get up from my sickbed

Spring comes in to me 
comes you free, from the pit, from the death certificate

Radiates all over my face 
Light at last, gout over, and he speaks:

Your salvation is approaching, narrow ridge, barbed wire, almost bloodbath

The winter was near, almost drew me under its spell, the dark delusion

Spring, pull me on land now!
Spring, please turn me on


Deutscher Originaltext: 

Frühling

Keine Lust mehr auf Depressionen
sich einigeln und schonen

Keine Lust mehr auf den Jammer-Blues 
auf den Nichtaufsteh-Morgengruß

Ich reiß` den Vorhang runter
Ich fühl` mich wieder munter

Ich will jetzt raus aus meinem Schneckenhaus 
war lang genug ne` graue Maus

Der Frühling kommt zu mir herein 
kommt Dich befrein, von Grübelein, vom Totenschein

Strahlt mir voll ins Gesicht 
endlich Licht, vorbei die Gicht, und er spricht:

Deine Rettung naht, schmaler Grat, Stacheldraht, Fast-Blutbad

Der Winter war nah dran, zog mich fast in seinen Bann, den dunklen Wahn

Frühling zieh mich jetzt an Land
Frühling bitte knips mich an

War in mir tief versunken
fühlte mich fast wie ertrunken

Dachte es geht nie mehr vorbei, 
fühlte mich wie ein faules Ei

Doch jetzt geht es weiter 
ganz ohne schwarzen Reiter

Ich darf noch mal ne` Runde drehn` 
vom Krankenbett aufstehn`

Der Frühling kommt zu mir herein, 
kommt Dich befrein`, von Grübelein, vom Totenschein

Strahlt mir voll ins Gesicht, 
endlich Licht, vorbei die Gicht, und er spricht:

Deine Rettung naht, schmaler Grat, Stacheldraht, Fast-Blutbad

Der Winter war nah dran, zog mich fast in seinen Bann, den dunklen Wahn

Frühling zieh mich jetzt an Land
Frühling bitte knips mich an.

Frühling (Spring)(Karlit-O-Kay & Freddy)(Lyrics in English in Intro)

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.
