[original guitar score by @john-byrne-117035719]

When I watched you from a paper cloud,
my paper cloud
was overflown with all the
beauty there could be.

And then it was time
to tumble down, can't turn around,
but every choice I made
made a smaller me.

And when I looked around
my world so small, no world at all
I remembered all the colors
I'd seen from above.

And I decided to enjoy the fall
dive into the rotten dirt
and dig me up some love.

This plane is going down,
but it's the screaming
of the air that awoke us

Good time to take a look around
and find the way to plummet
with an unrelenting focus

Yeah, this plane is going down, down, down
but it's still holding up,
and it ain't down yet.

Great time to use up all that focus
I need to burn my way
down to zero in regret.

[ zero in regre-e-et, e-et ]

So when I take you
by the neck and waist
then spin around,
it's like I'm dancing
with a much braver me.

Let's never plan
to settle down, nor settle for
anything less than everything
there is to do and be.

This plane may be going down
but nothing short of
a mountainside can block us.
It's time to move those feet around
we can dance circles 'round the world
when all we've got is focus.

[ Swing with me.
Take a swing with me.
We'll take a swing at everything there is
to do, and to be.
There's so much to do
and to be... ]

You're invited to my paper cloud—
my paper cloud
makes all possible beauty plain to see.

This plane's still going down,
it's going down, it's going down,
but it ain't down yet.
There's always time to
work our way down to
zero in regret.

We will watch the world
grow bigger in our eyes.
We will burn every last drop of fuel
on nothing will suffice.

Zero In Regret (with John Byrne)

After publishing our Collaboration „Multidimensional“ which had been a great success, I have started another one with Special Cecilia based on her vocal track „La meme planete“, where she meets with her lyrics perfectly this new age of a turning point. Thanks dear Cecilia for having created this great track and I hope you listeners will love this work.

Summer Solace

Chasing The Dream

Introduction in English:
Over 30 years ago, I did a six-week hitchhiking trip in Ireland. Right at the beginning of the tour I met Ian and we hitchhiked through the beautiful Emerald Isle. 
We quickly discovered that we were both stuck in completely hopeless love affairs. He in London and me in Berlin. Both of us didn't want to admit it for a long time. Now, after countless attempts to save our relationship, we had fled to Ireland. 
I described my rescue efforts as a "Himmelfahrtskommando“. But there is no real equivalent for this German pun in English. The closest thing is "Suicide Mission". And so we came to call our community of fate "Suicide-Himmelfahrt-Mission". 
After this unforgettable tramp journey we always stayed in contact with each other. 
Until earlier this year, Ian's mother informed me that he had died unexpectedly of a heart attack. 
Accordingly, I dedicate this song to my friend Ian, who passed away much too soon. 
In the first part I sing the chorus in German. In the second part I imagine how the almost always cheerful jazz friend Ian would have sung the verses and the chorus. And in the third part, I imagine how the two of us would have sung the chorus together.

Lyrics in English:

From above, look down on me
Have completely overstretched myself

I sadly think oft he last day
I believed that could be done

Saw no age, no boundaries
Even defied the death

Suicide Mission
I can’t stand it
I am breaking down
Totally wounded
Lie to myself
All is lost
This is a Suicide Mission

Life seemed to me wihout meaning
Now finally I had the mission

First I flew along as if in a daze
Completely filled with a great vision

Yes, to heal you
And to redeem you
From the Trauma Suck

I ask myself on e last time
Why didn`t I look there?

Right in front of me the torture stake
And the warners shouted aloud

No demureness
Remote from earth
In wanting to be god burned

Refrain auf Deutsch:

Himmelfahrt
Alles zu hart
Brech‘ in mich ein
Blut wie ein Schwein
Total verschätzt
Tödlich verletzt
Das ist ein Himmelfahrtskommando

Suicide-Himmelfahrt-Mission

Fly Fly

Death is nothing more
Than a doorway
I am the light
I am all

Dying to be me 
And Bang 
Out of body
Floating on the ceiling
Dying to be me

We are stars 
Wrapped in skin
I am light
i am all

Coz I'm About To Blow Your Mind

Coz’ I’m About To Blow Your Mind feat. IPG1

Musique / Music: Ootol
Paroles, chant et jaquette / Lyrics, vocal and artcover: Lukowig

Paroles / Lyrics :

Mauvais pressentiment
une odeur lourde rôde tout autour...
Ne revient aucun sentiment
juste une peur sourde aux alentours...
L'heure du ménage de printemps
tonitruantes pluies de mauvais temps :
balles grenades missiles bombes...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Sonnent les heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

De mon plafond tombent des hallebardes
les murs se lézardent
je perds pied le sol se dérobe
m'attire m'aspire m'absorbe...
Grand nettoyage place au vide :
Maladies épidémies virus Covid...
toutes les plaies sur nous retombent...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Tonnent les heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

De toucher le fond il me tarde :
je tournoie sans fin dans la tornade...
Mes souvenirs m'oppressent me stressent
m'immergent dans la détresse.
Grand final catastrophes naturelles :
cyclones tsunamis éruptions incendies
belle mise en œuvre pour qu'on succombe...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Dans mes heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

Dans mes heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

Dark hours [Ootol and Lukowig]

Sometimes it's all too much! A remake of a "Sun Tower" classic, (Shaels other band on SC) this one might help you with that weight on your shoulder. Sung sweetly by Sierra Wolfe, Shael Wrinch and Chris Herbsen on guitars, and produced as always by Shael at the Stone Hill studio on Bowen Island.

Sometimes

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.
