FRESH HITS -

Give Them Some Love 💜 pt.3

Eine erste Auswahl meiner Lieblingssongs. Mir ist es dabei wichtig, die nicht nur einfach 1:1 nachzuspielen, sondern Ihnen meinen eigene Note zu geben. Im Latinstil (Baby it`s you, Girl), mit Bottleneck und Gluidegitarre (No expectations), als Gitarrenversion (statt Piano) (You`ve got a friend) und als miteinander verwobenes Medley (Hallelujah - Suzanne - Famous Blue Raincoat

A first selection of my favorite songs. It is important to me not only to play them like the original, but to give them my own touch. In Latin style (Baby it`s you, Girl), with bottleneck and gluid guitar (No expectations), as guitar version (instead of piano) (You`ve got a friend) and as interwoven medley (Hallelujah - Suzanne - Famous Blue Raincoat )

This is a second instalment in the story of Veronique and Jeremiah from 'Jeremiah and the Moon'. This chapter precedes the last episode.
I intend to work on further episodes in the story, each preceding the last and going backwards in time. BoxTox has very kindly agreed to allow me to tell the story over his beautiful music. 
It may take some months to develop and I will post them here as I produce them. The continuing story https://soundcloud.com/garddwrporffor/sets/jeremiah-and-the-moon

Silver Lake

The silver lake sent light 
to splash upon their skin
who knows where we end up
when we first begin

Veronique and Dominique held warm hands in the dark
the liquid coolness moved around their bodies 
Two fragile creatures, building their own "ark"
Two creatures blessed by unawareness

The circling arms of lovers, enveloping charms
Draw expanding lines upon the silver
Silence, oh so deep and still with languid lapping sounds
Evanescent ripples in the mirror


Dominique rose up and slipped into the depths
All evidence of movement slowly faded
Veronique swam quietly awaiting her return......

Such simple ways in which our lives are shaded....

LE CRI DES ECRITS

A l’encre bleue indélébile,
Marqués au feu des mots fragiles,
Je vois les pleins et les déliés,
Me dire combien tu m’as aimé.

Et je retrace sur chaque phrase,
Les « je t’embrasse » dans nos extases,
Puis les formules particulières,
En majuscule pour mieux se plaire.
Mais les ratures, les gribouillis,
Mettent en bordure les mots d’oubli.

Toutes ces lettres, nos mots d’amour,
Les écrits restent car chaque jour,
Les pages entières à te relire,
Sortent l’enfer que je respire…
C’est le cri des écrits.

Si tant de prose, de phrases folles,
Toutes ces choses qui nous envolent,
Cette dernière de la rupture,
Me met à terre sous l’écriture.

Une mise à fin de l’éternel
Et du parfum d’une vie belle.
Alors je lis les larmes aux yeux,
Quand tu écris qu’entre nous deux,
C’est plus la peine de continuer,
Car tes « je t’aime » s’en sont allés.

Toutes ces lettres, nos mots d’amour,
Les écrits restent car chaque jour,
Les pages entières à te relire,
Me donnent l’enfer que je respire…
C’est le cri des écrits.

Toutes ces lettres, nos mots d’amour,
Les écrits restent car chaque jour,
Les pages entières à te relire,
Me donnent l’enfer que je respire…
C’est le cri des écrits.

THE CRY OF WRITINGS

In indelible blue ink,
Marked in the fire of fragile words,
I see ups and downs,
Tell me how much you loved me.

And I retrace on each sentence,
The "I kiss you" in our ecstasies,
Then the particular formulas,
Capitalized for convenience.
But the erasures, the scribbles,
Border the words of oblivion.

All these letters, our words of love,
The writings remain because every day,
Whole pages to read to you,
Come out the hell I breathe...
It is the cry of the writings.

If so much prose, crazy phrases,
All those things that fly away from us,
This last of the break,
Brings me to the ground under the writing.

An end to the eternal
And the scent of a beautiful life.
So I read with tears in my eyes,
When you write that between the two of us,
It's no longer worth continuing,
Because your "I love you" are gone.

All these letters, our words of love,
The writings remain because every day,
Whole pages to read to you,
Give me the hell I breathe...
It is the cry of the writings.

All these letters, our words of love,
The writings remain because every day,
Whole pages to read to you,
Give me the hell I breathe...
It is the cry of the writings.

Lyrics:

The new age is here
My dear Humanoid plastic peer
We got too lost in the sauce
no looking back no looking back at this line we crossed
I'm feeling so Synthetic from my skin down to my bones
They're glistening are you listening?
Preaching like Jim Jones

Cuz there is something new in this Kool aid
Floating so free
You won't even need a Credit card
The plastic's a part of you and me

Plastic's up
put your plastics up
Polymer juice
Plastics may bring me spastics
I just gotta let loose

The new age is here
My humanoid plastic peer
I'm just too lost
Too lost in the sauce
There's no looking back at this line I crossed


They say when you swallow the fly in the drink
You gain a bit of protein as it sinks
They say drink your water
And eat your meats too
Inside of you
A plastic stew
Swirls and flushes right on through
we're  candles without the wick
Or jokers without the trick

something new in this Kool aid
Floating so free
You won't even need a Credit card
The plastic's a part of you and me

Plastic's up
put your plastics up
Polymer juice
Plastics may bring me spastics
I just gotta let loose

Lyrics: Written, recorded, mixed and mastered by: The Mysterious Decibel

God giveth open arms to those who soweth the seed
God giveth the highest levels of prosperity to those that giveth to the creed
Those that feed in the name of Jesus
The riches from their pocket
Will reap the rewards beyond what can even be imagined
In an economic world God commands you to give
So Sow those offerings my friends and brothers
Sow them!
continue to Invest in the kingdom with the righteous word of God!

God can you flip the tables!?
These diamonds are covered in blood
Preacher man in the gospel
Manipulation giveth the flood

I am the ruler of this ministry
My word to the mic, you will all see
Your word to the cross it enriches me
I'll buy another one or two or maybe three

This wolf in sheep's gear bears teeth
Raking in your gold from underneath
What is your offering?
What is your offering?
I pull to you like a puppet with strings

Sow them!
Sow Them!

God can you flip the tables!?
These diamonds are covered in blood
Preacher man in the gospel
Manipulation giveth the flood

Giveth to the gospel
Giveth unto me
In the preacher's pocket
Where your blessings be

Giveth to the gospel
Giveth unto me
In the preacher's pocket
Where your blessings be

Mando Whispers To A Train

Help!

Introduction in English

Sometimes I have to smile a little when I think about the fact that John Lennon was only 24 years old when he wrote these lyrics. 
He certainly didn't know about the cries for help that come with ageing from 60 plus. The experience of gradual physical decline and the increasing dependence on the support of other people. The gradual loss of autonomy, which is so important for one's own dignity. And the subliminal threat of retirement and nursing homes approaching, which then temporarily pulls you out of your increasing mental derangement by singing old Beatles songs.
But apart from that, he certainly already knew a lot about the hardships of being different, of not belonging; the longing to experience something like love in the worldwide recognition and at the same time having to suffocate and drown in this wave of adoration. 
In the pop era of the time, his desperate cry for help was reduced to a tolerable two minutes
I turned it into a leisurely three-minute waltz. And tried to express my increasing need for help in certain areas of life in different ways: shy and fragile, desperate and humble, angry and almost accusatory. 
And towards the end, I find myself in an almost otherworldly limbo in which a part of me comes to peace with the cry for help and finds its own new dignity in it.

Einführung auf Deutsch
Manchmal muß ich ein wenig schmunzeln, wenn ich daran denke, dass John Lennon erst 24 Jahre alt war, als er diesen Songtext schrieb. 
Da wusste er mit Sicherheit noch nichts von den Hilferufen, die mit dem Älterwerden ab 60 plus einhergehen. Die Erfahrung des allmählichen körperlichen Zerfalls und die sich zunehmend anschleichende Angewiesenheit auf die Unterstützung von anderen Menschen. Der allmähliche Verlust von Autonomie, der für die eigene Würde so wichtig ist. Und das unterschwellig drohende Herannahen von Senioren- und Pflegeheimen, die einem dann mit dem Singen von alten Beatles-Songs vorübergehend aus der zunehmenden geistigen Umnachtung herausreißen.
Aber abgesehen davon wußte er sicher schon viel von den Nöten des Andersseins, des nicht dazu gehörens; der Sehnsucht, in der weltweiten Anerkennung so etwas wie Liebe zu erfahren und zugleich in dieser Verehrungswelle geradezu ersticken und ertrinken zu müssen. 
In der damaligen Pop-Zeit wurde sein verzweifelter Hilferuf auf allseits erträgliche gut zwei Minuten eingedampft.
Ich habe daraus einen gut dreiminütigen gemächlichen Walzer gemacht. Und dabei versucht, meine in gewissen Lebensbereichen zunehmende Hilfsbedürftigkeit auf verschiedene Weise auszudrücken: Scheu und zerbrechlich, verzweifelt und demütig, wütend und beinahe anklagend. 
Und zum Ende hin befinde ich mich in einer fast schon jenseitigen Zwischenwelt, in der ein Teil in mir mit dem Hilferuf in Frieden kommt und darin eine eigene neue Würde findet.

Spin bout you🚦{prod.flameflowers}[remix][w/ Flakka Da Don💰+ Scotty Pierre]

My friend and close collaborator @rplanes offered me this great arrangement and the title and theme that he thought might make an interesting subject matter. Initially, I was scratching my head as the topic seemed too vast but then the ideas started to attach themselves to his melodies and I was hooked. Humans en masse appear to be taking wrong-turnings and making things worse rather than better. This is me letting off a little steam with Rod's help. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Reverse Entropy (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)
We drift from order to chaos,
Like it’s the norm.
Without a sense of pathos,
To see the storm.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Or go where you are told.

We let others cloud our vision,
Like they know best.
What happened to our ambition
Never addressed.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Before we get too old

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge, and fulfilled by skill.
 
We fall for the theorists,
Like it’s gospel.
Go find yourself some realists,
Who’re less hostile.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
While you still have a hold.

We’ve been duped at every turn,
By those we trust.
Without alarm or concern,
Now we are bust.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
If you can still feel bold.

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge and fulfilled by skill.

All our futures are in your hands
With all that it commands
Focus on how it now all stands
Before making your demands.

Reverse Entropy - Continental Collision (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)

ON S'AIME A DEUX

Je t'ai attendue quelques années,
Et puis un jour t'es arrivée
Pour moi une romance
Une belle page de chance.
Soudain tu m'as pris dans tes bras
Et je me sentais très bien là
Je ne serai plus jamais seul
Beaucoup de gens le veulent.
On sait se tenir par la main
Ensemble se faire un chemin
Très loin au bout du monde
Sur cette terre ronde.

Et puis on vit dans le bonheur
Sans maux de cœur
C'est bien d'être heureux
On s'aime à deux.

Regardons tous ces envieux
Qui nous jalousent dans nos beaux jeux
S'aimer c'est peu de dire
Nos vies sont des sourires.
Vivons ainsi jusqu'à toujours
C'est beau d'avoir l'amour
Malgré nos différences
S'éteignent les silences.

Et puis on vit dans le bonheur
Sans maux de cœur
C'est bien d'être heureux
On s'aime à deux.

Les larmes de joie sous nos yeux
Tous les plaisirs qui se font à deux
Que je t'aime mon cœur.
Ma vie est une merveille.
Pour moi tu es la plus belle
Que l'on s'aime mon cœur.
Quand je te regarde magnifique
Mon dieu que le temps passe vite.
Mais tout çà est ainsi
Dans l'âge on se suit bien ensemble
Plus on vieillit on se ressemble
On s'aime à deux.

Et puis on vit dans le bonheur
Sans maux de cœur
C'est bien d'être heureux
On s'aime à deux.
On s'aime à deux.


WE LOVE EACH OTHER

I waited for you for a few years,
And then one day you arrived
For me a romance
A great page of luck.
Suddenly you took me in your arms
And I felt very good there
I will never be alone again
Many people want it.
We know how to hold hands
Together we make a way
Far away at the end of the world
On this round earth.

And then we live in happiness
Without heartache
It's good to be happy
We love each other together.

Let's look at all these envious people
Who envy us in our beautiful games
Loving yourself is an understatement
Our lives are smiles.
Let's live like this forever
It's beautiful to have love
Despite our differences
The silences fade away.

And then we live in happiness
Without heartache
It's good to be happy
We love each other together.

Tears of joy before our eyes
All the pleasures that can be enjoyed together
That I love you my heart.
My life is a marvel.
For me you are the most beautiful
May we love each other my heart.
When I look at you beautiful
My god, time flies.
But that's all it is
In age we follow each other well
The older we get we become more alike
We love each other together.

And then we live in happiness
Without heartache
It's good to be happy
We love each other together.
We love each other together.

This is one of those songs, you just had to get off your chest! All of you creatives will understand that. Its not the hippest or the coolest song , even the music  is understated and the production is lacking, but the words are where the heart is .

Thank you for all of your wonderful plays playlists and shares, very much appreciated!

Lil' Rascals (Freestyle) 🧒🏿

Introduction in English

Many of them were persecuted, oppressed, tortured or even murdered. 
But many of them escaped their perpetrators and potential butchers and emerged even stronger from these struggles for survival. 
And especially at a time when the tyrannical powers are raising their heads again, when a repressive right-wing shift is taking place all over the world, they are more important than ever;
In their unmistakable clarity, their healthy stubbornness, their intuitive knowledge to protect the all-encompassing love and vitality in the world from the destructive forces of fascist systems.
With my song I want to encourage all free spirits to show themselves even more and to go forward. And I want to encourage all listeners of this song to open up more to their own free-spirited side.

Lyrics (for those, who don`t speak German)

Free spirits

They never let themselves be bent
Never let any repression get them down

They have a keen sense
For what is real or just false adornment

They follow their own tracks
They tick according to their own clocks

They are with themselves and yet open-minded
They change and remain true to themselves

Often stand on their head
Don't like to swim with

Every ancient braid
Is sprayed with color
Until it burns out

Free spirits
Are still 
In this land

Free spirits
Not all 
Have they
Banished, Burnt

Free spirits
Have 
Survived the hells
And lay down in the light unbreakable

They dream with their eyes open
Make a thousand mistakes, seem to be no good

Are often still unrecognized, banished from the grill plate
Yet they sparkle beneath the sand  

They are often underestimated
Violated in their dignity
Abandoned in the forest by the mainstream
They wear orchids 
Can see in the dark
Can walk blind on clouds

Are outraged alive
Say out loud what bothers them

Are driven by love
For themselves, the humans and the world

Free spirits
Are still 
In this land

Free spirits
Not all 
Have they
Banished, Burnt

Free spirits
Have 
Survived the hells
And lay down in the light unbreakable
lay down in the light
lay down in the light
Lay
Down
In
The 
Lieght

Deutscher Originaltext:

Freigeister

Sie lassen sich niemals verbiegen
Von keiner Repression unterkriegen

Sie haben ein feines Gespür
Für das was echt ist oder nur falsche Zier

Sie folgen Ihren eigenen Spuren
Sie ticken nach Ihren eigenen Uhren

Sie sind bei sich und doch aufgeschlossen
Sie wandeln sich und bleiben sich treu

Stehen oft auf dem Kopf
Schwimmen ungerne mit

Jeder uralte Zopf
Wird mit Farbe besprüht
Bis er verglüht

Freigeister
Sind noch immer 
In diesem Land

Freigeister
Nicht alle 
Haben sie
Verbannt, Verbrannt

Freigeister
Haben 
Die Hölllen überlebt
Und sich unkaputtbar in das Licht gelegt

Sie träumen mit offenen Augen
Machen tausend Fehler, scheinen nichts zu taugen

Werden oft noch verkannt, vom Grillteller verbannt
Dennoch funkeln sie unter dem Sand  

Gerne werden sie unterschätzt
In ihrer Würde verletzt
Vom Mainstream im Wald ausgesetzt
Sie tragen Orchideen 
Können im Dunkeln sehen
Können auf Wolken blind gehen

Sind lebendig empört
Sagen laut, was sie stört

Sind von Liebe getrieben
Für sich, die Menschheit und die Welt

Freigeister
Sind noch immer 
In diesem Land

Freigeister
Nicht alle 
Haben sie
Verbannt, Verbrannt

Freigeister
Haben 
Die Hölllen überlebt
Und sich unkaputtbar in das Licht gelegt
In das Licht gelegt
In das Licht gelegt
In 
Das
Licht
Gelegt

Freigeister (Free Spirits)

Introduction in English:

Manfred (‘Manne’) was my oldest friend. We used to play together in the sandpit. 
We were both very contrasting characters. I was ambitious for a long time and wanted to excel through special achievements. Manne, on the other hand, preached idleness and complete freedom from pressure even as a teenager.  He often laughed at me from his lotus position when I got bogged down in something. I secretly admired him for his attitude of pure being and complete freedom from purpose. 
Through him, I learnt about the benefits of slowness and pausing. And he was a sensitive companion when I came into contact with certain drugs such as cannabis, alcohol and cocaine in my early adulthood.     
Unfortunately, from his mid 20s onwards, he tipped more and more towards the destructive side of drug use. During this time, we both drifted further and further apart. The last time I saw him, he seemed like a wreck to me. I could already sense that things weren't going to be good with him for much longer. 
Nevertheless, I was shocked when I learnt of his early death at the age of just 31. 
Since then, I have visited his grave every year and see how many beautiful aspects of him live on in his son, who is my nephew. 
With this song, I would like to honour him with my own personal musical memorial.   

Lyrics in English (for those, who don`t speak German):

Manne Manne

Manne Manne, it hurts so much
Because I just don't quite understand
That you left so soon
You pissed off from one day to the next

Manne Manne, you were such a cool hero
In your anti-achievement world
Instead of storm and stress in a noble snail's pace
A bohemian with a song of lullabies

Believed in you for a long time,
In your ‘Let yourself go’ poem
Your vision of life without haste

Without any pressure and stressful scabies
Just stay lying there
Behind misty coloured windows
Against the compulsion to do!

Manne manne, you were once so beautiful
You could turn women's heads
With your deeply chilled charm
Even the proudest lay in your arms

Manne Manne, master of slowness
Of ‘I don't have to do anything, I always have time’
Of life beyond ‘Nine to Five’
Of twilight sleep in the realm of night owls

Lord of the drug world
Herring-hook-less tent
Invited us into

Strange magic worlds
Where no rules apply
Into dark shadowy spaces
Gave us a light there

Manne Manne, it hurts so much
Because I never quite understand
That you went down like that
I've missed you a few times

Manne Manne, I`ve dreamt of you sometimes
Damn, I missed it somehow
To stop your self-dissolution programme
At the last meeting it was already much too late

Manne Manne
Manne Manne
Manne Manne
 
 




Manne Manne

All for you (produced by MCX)

Hope you enjoy, lyrics below! 🌷

Girl it ain’t right
This feeling inside, that I’m not used too

Is it cold outside? 
If it is let me know,  baby I got you 

Let me make sure it’s safe 
That everything is good for when we arrive 
Please won’t you let me make sure it’s safe
I don’t want no drama for you tonight 

I don’t know why
I seem to have these butterflies
That I can’t recall I’ve ever had before

I don’t know why
But amongst The Sky tonight
I can see us lost amongst the stars
that’s the only dream that I’ll ever want 

I would fight away the monsters 
I would sheild you from the rain (all for
U)
I would guard your heart each moment
So that you never felt my pain 

I would conquer my own demons
So I would never bring you down
I would hate when your were leaving
Only cause I’d miss when you’re not around

What do you want ?
What do you need ?

I’d do it 
Alll for you 
I’d do it 
Alll for you 


Said I’ve made up my mind
I wouldn’t lie to you 
No doubt we’re intertwined
My tounge only tell the  truth 
Don’t need amortnetia potion
Already fallen deep in love 
just be my crutch girl
So I can stand on my 2 feet now 

Uh and now we’re kissing in the backseat
heart is racing so frickin fast 
Parked up by the cliff, we both heavy breathe hope it this forever lasts 
Baby I don’t worry now, 
now you’re by my side
all of those demons that I had, they just left my life 
Guess you’re the angel that replaced them
So Thanku for the love 
I owe it all to you 
You are the reason for my good luck 
it’s all true
That you’re the saving grace that really set me free

all for you.

Als meine Partnerin 2015 im Krankenhaus lag, nahm ich ihr meine Version dieses wunderbaren Bluessongs der Stones von 1968 auf. Beim anhören blühte sie auf und es unterstützte sie dabei, wieder zu Kräften zu kommen.

When my partner was in hospital in 2015, I recorded my version of this wonderful 1968 Stones blues song for her. When she heard it, it blossomed and helped her to regain her strength.

No Expectations (Jagger/Richards)

Als großer Beatlesfan liebte ich diesen Track auf dem ersten Album der Beatles Please, Please me, als sie noch roh, frisch und noch nah am Cavern Club klangen. Aber als jemand, der Latin Percussion ebenfalls liebt, fande ich es immer reizvoll, diesen Song, den die Beatles ja selber wiederum gecovert hatten, als Rumba aufzunehmen

As a big Beatles fan I loved this track on the first album of the Beatles Please, Please me, when they sounded raw, fresh and still close to the Cavern Club. But as someone who also loves Latin percussion, I always liked to record this song, which the Beatles themselves had covered, as a rumba.

Baby It`s You (David/Williams/Bacharach

Einer meiner ganz großen Lieblingslieder von John Lennon, in dem er, wie er selbst einmal sagte, schon hellsichtig die spätere Begegnung mit Yoko Ono besingt. Mit meiner Coverversion möchte ich diesem wunderbar wehmütig-zynischen ein Denkmal setzen und zugleich zeigen, daß seine Schönheit auch in einem Rumba-Stil zum Leuchten gebracht werden kann.

One of my favourite songs by John Lennon, in which, as he once said himself, he is already clairvoyant about the later encounter with Yoko Ono. With my cover version I would like to set a monument to this wonderfully wistfully cynical song and at the same time show that its beauty can also be brought to light in a rumba style.

Girl (Lennon/Mccartney)

Immer schon hat mich dieses Lied begleitet. Und bis heute, wenn ich mich einsam und verloren fühle, erinnere ich mich an diesen Jahrhundertsong aus dem Jahre 1971. Ich habe versucht, meine Sehnsüchte und Wünsche nach tiefen, ewigen Freundschaften in meine Version von You`ve got a friend hineinzulegen

This song has always accompanied me. And to this day, when I feel lonely and lost, I remember this song of the century from 1971. I have tried to put my longings and desires for deep, eternal friendships into my version of You've got a friend.

You´ve Got Friend (Carole King)

Auch hier wieder ein Versuch, zwei Wünsche zusammenzubringen: Auf der einen Seite das Bedürfnis, meine drei Lieblingslieder von Cohen singen aufznehmen zu können. Auf der anderen Seite die geniale B-Seite (auf der Vinylplatte) des letzten Albums der Beatles von September 1969 (Die Let it be-Tracks waren ja schon Anfang 1969 in den Get-Back-Sessions aufgenommen worden). Und dann der Integrationsversuch: Die drei Cohensongs und wie sie miteinander verwoben werden können.

Here again an attempt to bring two wishes together: On the one hand, the need to sing and record my three favorite songs of Cohen. On the other hand the ingenious B-side (on the vinyl record) of the Beatles' last album from September 1969 (The Let it be tracks had already been recorded in the Get-Back sessions in early 1969). And then the integration attempt: The three Cohensongs and how they can be interwoven.

Breathe.
Don’t you know when the river’s out
It’s not a place you want to be around, oh no
Close your eyes so you cannot see
It’s not a place where you want to be right now
Things have been rough on you
Things have been rough on you
I know
Things been bad for me too
Things been bad for me too
Oh I know

Liars and thieves and treacheries
Counter-intuitive conspiracies
Oh I know
Sinking ships with this broken glass
‘Cos baby don’t you know nothing evers gonna last
Oh I know
Things have been rough on you
Things have been rough on you
Oh I know
Things been bad for me too
Things been bad for me too
Oh I know

Breathe darling
Don’t let go
Breathe darling 
Don’t let go

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.

Help! (Lennon/Mccartney)
