An ode to a 29 ys old, huge (at least six feet up to the shoulder…) Westphalian gelding i know and love quite (... :)...) well, named LKW (LastKraftWagen = Lorry)


09.11.2022: Lorry died today and now the ode also has become a requiem...
He's a legend to me, for he taught me to have no fear, RIP...


Ye’ Olde Lorry 

There they come
I already heard and smelled the engine
when they drove on the farm
They come with a bucket full of this Irish mash along
That they prepared at home, that they prepared with love
With carrots and some senior food 
That is always lifting my mood
I can feel how my teeth start to chew
With a deep relief…

I feel their unconditional love,
When she brushes my body so gently
And afterwards combs my long tail
Then she scrapes my hoove out
In former days the bridle was put on
Then i was saddled and we’d walk on a perfect riding trail
Then we  would just fly over the stubble fields
Passed shallow riverbeds in the glittering sun
I felt her taking deep breaths
Exhaling grief and sorrowness
Releasing all the locks and getting relaxed...

Now i’m already quite old
Since a couple of years we just do no rides together no more
I think it’s okay that way 
Strolling with my mates 
Over the meadows day by day
Malming grass and hay 
Sometimes we still go out for a walk through the countryside
Where the blades of grass are swinging in the wind nearby
Now and then I stop and gaze pensively at the sight 
Then she rubs her nose in my fur
And she is clapping me gently and both of us give a content sigh …

Ye' Olde Lorry

It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

Salvation Song

Take me down
Throw me around
Cut me in half with your sharp tongue

You're under my skin
I'm cavin in as you
Suck all the air out of my lungs

But it's nothin new, nothin old
No story that
Ain't been told
So I won't say a thing tonight

You're a shooting star
But I wish you'd put the gun down
You're a work of art but I can't
Get close enough to touch now

Whenever we drive
Those searchin eyes are always
Stuck behind in the rearview

Are you afraid
Some rainy day
Your past might pull up behind you

But it's nothin new, nothin old
No story that
Ain't been told
So I won't say a thing tonight

You're a shooting star
But I wish you'd put the gun down
You're a work of art but I can't
Get close enough to touch now
You're an angel on earth
So now the lines are all blurred
You're a dream
And I can't wake up, I can't wake up

I don't want to
I don't want to
But I'm stuck on you
I don't want to
I don't want to

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I'm stuck on you
Oh I'm stuck on you

Shooting Star

From The Travelogue of Ben E. Gringo

There's some diving ducks down on the dock
they have to share the waters with the otters.
who also like that spot.
They don't know nothin bout the internet
And they don't give a damn about who's President
They just like to swim around all day
Under the water and eat those Fleshy Fishes
Cause they're so Dog Gone Delicious.

Now the gooses are arriving and the ganders they are fighting
and contriving to establish their Goosy Macho standing in the 
Hierarchy of the Gaggle.

And all the said Parties and Some Others
keep sharp eyes to the sky on the lookout for the Mighty Eagles
who hunt so fiercely with their Terrible and unforgiving Talons.

And the Spring is peeking through the Storm Clouds while each
and everyone is anticipating Her Arrival.

There's some Diving Ducks Down on the Dock.(the hierarchy of the Gaggle)

Lyrics:
Baby, the world is going down
Baby, the world will sink and drown
War and destruction all around
Let´s play our favorite music loud

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, The world is in a mess
Warlords are playing bloody chess
Split and reign and suppress
Babe, I put on my finest dress

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, we have a wild romance
Baby, you give my life a chance
Maybe the world comes to an end
Let´s put on the dancing shoes and dance

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, the whole world´s got the blues
Baby, there´s nothing left to lose
Baby, you know that I love you
Kiss me, let´s dance the whole night through

Save The Last Dance For Me

After a longer break I needed some inspiration from Cecilia again and I remixed one of her great songs. This time I worked with some finished funky guitar loops, but I also recorded a few tracks myself. You can hardly hear it. Maybe that's better 😄. It's not a masterpiece, but I really wanted to get back into SC. It's good therapy in these crazy times.
