It's a great song expressed in a way that casts a shadow over the modern world.

Deeply moving, melancholic, and enchanting. A very beautiful piece of work.

Really beautiful work & spot on too.  I think all of us, more or less, share the feelings here.   Impressive performance.

Gutes Lied, die Weltentwicklung wird immer schlimmer.  Wer sehnt sich nicht nach Frieden?

Sérieux thème d'actualité, bonne musique

So schmerzhaft schön und tief bewegend...  Absolut atemberaubender Song, Karl.

I wrote this for a special person with Slavic Eyes.

ABOUT

This track has been on the back burner for a (very!) long time and started out as an outline composition in support of a short film, about a reincarnated witch.   As it turned out the film didn’t happen, but the song continued to evolve, and somewhere along the way got renamed to Selene!

It’s a song about two women, separated across time, and could follow several different themes: haunting, possession, reincarnation or perhaps love.. I'll leave you to decide..It touches on separation and isolation, the power of connections and perhaps a life rebuilt, for both the songs characters.

I’ve been very fortunate to be ably assisted in creating this track, by two fantastic pro musicians; Glenn Welman, on drums, and an absolute POWERHOUSE soprano vocal performance from Marion Schneider (Mioune) Without their talent, innovation and, in Marion’s case, a ton of advice, Selene would not be the track it is!  Thanks should also go to Joseph, at JREL Music Studio, Oklahoma City, whose mastering skills put the finishing touches to a track that I really am pleased with!  Thanks a million guys!

Lyrics

Verse 1: woman

In the quiet of the night,
Something stirs the wind
The silence isn’t right, I don’t know where
There’s some-thing lost inside,
 
Verse 2: Ghost 

I was a sigh behind the moon
A darker shade of night
A story ended far too soon, and far from sight 
But longing for the light 
 
Pre-Chorus: woman

I’m filled with questions with no answers
A masquerade without a dancer
 
Chorus: Ghost

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light
 
Verse 3 (duet)

There’s a truth to be revealed
Through shadows and through time
Throughout the counting of the years 
Our stories will entwine
You’ll be my voice, I’ll be your flame  

Pre-chorus 2 : both

The veil is torn, all doubts are gone
our souls are joined, our names are one
 
Chorus: both 

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light 
 
Middle Section : Ghost  

I thought I’d never be complete
A will without a form
You’re the spell I couldn’t speak
I’m the storm you’ve always worn 
                      
Final Chorus: both

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light 
 
Outro Chorus (quiet reprise)

Tonight — wake within my dream (ghost)
Reach for the light (woman)

Selene

I imagined what it would be like to travel on a fast-moving cloud, looking down at the world from there, marveling at how beautiful it is when we can't see the small details. #14 on the Re-Ex Chart - 10.11.2025

This song is all about celebrating the kind of gratitude that comes from simple joys — the food on the table, the music in the room, the people we love, and the good vibes we create together. It’s that Thanksgiving energy without the pressure: laughing with family, dancing with friends, everyone finding their rhythm and lifting the night a little higher. 

I wrote it to remind us that thankfulness doesn’t have to be serious or quiet — sometimes it’s loud, joyful, silly, and full of groove. It’s about pausing the chaos, skipping the stress, and leaning into the warmth of the moment. This song is my way of sharing that glow with you, and to say that if you’re here with me, vibing along, I’m grateful for you too.


LYRICS:

[Intro]
Ooo-oh, yeah! (woo!)
We’re cookin’ up some gratitude tonight!

[Verse 1]
Got the playlist on repeat,
Turkey’s dancin’ to the beat,
Pumpkin pie is tappin’ feet,
Oh, it’s that thankful heat!

Smiles passin’ ‘round the room,
Laughter lifts the afternoon,
Every flavor, every tune —
Feelin’ blessed, how ‘bout you?

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need no fancy crown,
Just good vibes rollin’ all around —
Raise your glass, don’t set it down,
Let’s get thankful now!

[Chorus]
I’m thankful, thankful, baby!
For every little thing you do!
I’m grateful, grateful, crazy —
To spend this groove with you!
Turn the love up louder,
Fill the night with moves —
Yeah, we’re vibin’, thrivin’,
In our Grateful Groove!

[Verse 2]
Mashed potatoes, sweet delight,
Hug your mama extra tight,
Text your friends, “you good tonight?”
Share that thankful light.

No black-Friday stress, no gloom,
Just a love-lit living room,
Everybody finds their tune —
Let’s let joy resume!

[Bridge]
Say “yeah-yeah!” (Yeah-yeah!)
Say “woo-hoo!” (Woo-hoo!)
Say “I’m thankful for this groove!” (I’m thankful for this groove!)
Now shake it like you’re thankful too!

[Chorus 2 / Final]
I’m thankful, thankful, baby!
For every single soul in view!
I’m grateful, grateful, crazy —
My heart’s a feast for two!
Turn the love up louder,
Let the good times prove —
We’re alive, inspired,
In our Grateful Groove!

[Outro]
Yeah-ahh, I’m thankful, baby…
For this groove, and for you.

Gravity Check is what happens when nostalgia decides to flex.
The beat hit me and instantly pulled me back to that golden 2003 convergence—when Timbaland was bending time, Missy was rewriting rules, Nelly had every summer on lock, and Marcus Houston had every dance floor in motion. It’s that rare frequency where R&B, Hip-Hop, and Pop touched the same sky and made the whole culture move.

And somehow… this beat gave me all of that in the first four seconds.

There’s a certain magic in hearing a sound that feels both familiar and brand-new, especially when most producers today chase trends instead of shaping them.
Pop House Production did the opposite.
HE crafted something that feels cinematic, neon, and undeniably 2000s, but wrapped in a 2025 chrome sheen that only real innovators pull off.
(If you know, you know — and if you don’t, you’re about to.)

“Gravity Check” is rhythm, memory, attitude, and engineering all in one.
A reminder that some of us don’t imitate eras — we resurrect them and upgrade the software.

Enjoy the nostalgia.
Enjoy the glow.   #GravityCheck   #TimbalandVibes

Second track in a suite of tracks inspired by a walk along a wooded river bank in the summer close to where I live. This track describes where the river flows into a stlll, slow flowing becalmed area. Enjoy the calming, relaxing atmosphere. CD

Becalmed

Lyrics written by, and music created by Joe Kirk. Copyright 2025.

Some have more time than others. 
Others have already run out.
Clocks crumble in the back of our minds.
Pictures of their smiles.
Everything eventually fades into a black.
I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

I remember the first time.
You became my favorite song.
My favorite everything.
Days short.
Nights long.
Poetry spilled from my lips.
I wanted to pour it all over you.
Time was already the enemy.
Seeds of deceit inside the dark side of friends.

If you let go now.
There will never be a forever.
You know how the rules are.
Take from the sky another star.
To a broken soul.
Give it another scar.
You always knew what you were.
I forgot what I was.

Clocks crumble in the back of our minds.
Pictures of their smiles.
Everything eventually fades into a black.
I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

We crash like cars with no brakes.
So many burning bridges.
Did she even miss this.
How can I still taste her kiss.
How could she turn her back on this.
Time betrays another man.
He let's go for the last time.
Time is a friend to nobody son.

Poetry spilled from my lips.
I wanted to pour it all over you.

I remember the first time.
You became my favorite song.
My favorite everything.
Days short.
Nights long.

Some have more time than others. 
Others have already run out.
Clocks crumble in the back of our minds.
Pictures of their smiles.
Everything eventually fades into a black.
I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

For every time there was no time.
Time and time again.
Begging to the God that put it all here.
I am a man with everything and nothing.
Love and fear.
Something then nothing.

I don't want to let go my sweet love.
Hold on to me forever.

Introduction and Lyrics in English

This song was inspired by the images of war that I have been increasingly confronted with on the internet, television, and social media in recent years.
The verses are an attempt to translate the sometimes unspeakable horror of brutally extinguished lives and destroyed houses and cities into pictorial, metaphorical language.
The chorus expresses the longing to stop this creeping wave of destruction and counter it with a profound world peace. A world peace that will lead stray souls, who are currently being seduced by right-wing populist and ultimately warmongering slogans, to return to their true loving, deeply humanistic core selves.
Since the entire song is a kind of desperate plea for more love for oneself and others, I chose Picasso's famous painting “The Supplicant” as song-cover.

To Rest in Peace

Eyes run with pus
A freshly wilted bouquet of flowers
Bridges are broken
Rainbows are grey
A man cries
Before his wife's corpse

Glasses without stems and without shine
A shadow invites you to dance with death
A bed stands crooked and askew
Because it ran in circles
The shop door
With the inscription ‘No one here’

Inside, it's seething
Everything wants to burst
Rabies has taken hold of my soul
The river of balm fights its way through the narrowness
Perhaps it will take away this curse of haste

I'd like to lie down for a while
To Rest in Peace
Who will give me the liberating blessing
To rest in peace
To rest in peace

Chocolate runs into the stairwell
The fairy tale is about to end
Red mushrooms give us the last poison
A sarcophagus is shipped anonymously

Horses can no longer find their way
A lizard man steps up to swear an oath of truth
Prayers are said on combs
Bubbles burst
Urinary retention
Now takes its course

My senses are shattered
A thousand ears
My eyes are flooded
Glaring light
Can't smell
Nostrils beaten black and blue
My tongue swells from the fresh cactus sting

I want to lie down for a while
To Rest in Peace
Who will give me the liberating blessing
To rest in peace
To rest in peace

In peace
In peace
In peace
In peace
In peace

Deutscher Originaltext

To Rest in Peace

Augen laufen eiternd aus
Ein frischverwelkter Blumenstrauß
Brücken sind zerbrochen
Regenbögen grau
Ein Mann weint
Vor der Leiche seiner Frau

Gläser ohne Stiel und ohne Glanz
Ein Schatten lädt zum Totentanz
Ein Bett steht krumm und schief
Weil es im Kreise lief
Die Ladentür
Mit Aufschrift "Niemand hier"

Im Innern brodelts
Alles will zerspringen
Die Tollwut hat meinen Seelenhain erfasst
Der Balsamfluss kämpft sich durch die Enge
Vielleicht nimmt er mir diesen Fluch zur Hast

Möchte mich ein wenig hinlegen
To Rest in Peace
Wer gibt mir den befreienden Segen
To Rest in Peace
To Rest in Peace

Schokolade läuft ins Treppenhaus
Das Märchen steht kurz vor dem Aus
Rote Pilze schenken uns das letzte Gift
Ein Sarkophag wird anonym verschifft

Pferde kommen nicht mehr in die Spur
Ein Echsenmensch tritt an zum Wahrheitsschwur
Auf Kämmen wird gebetet
Blasen springen auf
Die Harnverhaltung
Nimmt jetzt ihren Lauf

Meine Sinne sind geborsten
Tausend Ohren
Meine Augen sind geflutet
Greller Schein
Kann nicht riechen
Nasenflügel windelweich geprügelt
Mein Zunge schwillt vom frischen Kaktusstich

Möchte mich ein wenig hinlegen
To Rest in Peace
Wer gibt mir den befreienden Segen
To Rest in Peace
To Rest in Peace

In Peace
In Peace
In Peace
In Peace
In Peace

To Rest in Peace

here they come now
here they come
wearing masks
not even they will know 
what they have done

here they come now
here they come
wear the mask
not even you will see
what you have done to me

the finches
can anyone tell
when they screech woefully?

the righteous
keep scrubbing that blood off
their hands

have patience
he said as he took 
my children away

I'm faceless
and all of my story
is written on sand

yeah, written on sand
sand

there they go now
there they go
it's all your fault
that's what happens 
when you break the law

something you should have known
god must've told you so
we're not the animal
we're not the animal!

you might just
never have to see blood
on your hands
and there's more than one mask
you can wear

but the cages
they still have to be manned
and there will be 
damnation to spare

sand
it's been written on sand
it's been written on sand

here I come now
here I come
wear the mask
not even I will know 
what I have done

here I come now
here I come
wear a mask
not even I will see
what I have done

here we go again
here we go again
not sorry
your story
will be written on sand

如果我们真的分手了 (If We Ever Break Up) - Acoustic

Sturm und Drang

The Pillars

It's my understanding that the author Frank Herbert characterised his Bene Gesserit order of priestesses for his science fiction book Dune on a known Tibetan sisterhood who gained immortality from certain Taoist practises, including sacred Tantric sex.  Certainly, he took many ideas from their texts, such as the prana bindu practises and the Sabda. 

This Sisterhood's teachings are only remembered today in the secret order of the White Tigresses in Taiwan. Gesserit is an anagram of Tigeress. Herbert's characterisation of them as sadistic sorceresses was, imho, just a product of typical Jungian fears  some men have about female power.

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.
