Dang it, I'm a gonna have surgery on my left shoulder;

yeah man this really lifts,  it's great 👍

Heart In The Room

Across the room oblivious
You dance like when you kiss
In that moment impetuous
Freeform and meaningless
You are in outer space - juiced by rocket fuel
An actress on a stage - just for the thrill

And here I am silently craving
Behind my eyes I’m going crazy
Cause I’m connecting
With a runaway downhill train 
Who don’t know what she does
I’m tied to the tracks - depending on you    
To open your mind - and hear the heart in the room  

I know that there’s a part of you                                                                                                                                That syncs with the whole of me
But I need your full attention
Give your mind that liberty
Cause you might find that you - feel just like I do
And all that synchrony - can fly us to the moon

Yes here I am silently craving . . .

Nothing like connection
A coupling eye to eye
Hearts beating one on one

Heart In The Room

I can feel the light come and go
Hold the stream of thought and flow
Through the highs and lows of your love
Memories - they fade and glow 

Sense a breath emerge from the dark
Skipped a beat, gave me a start
You're a ghost who walks somewhere near
God is far and hard of hearing

Near and far 
High and low 
Fade and glow

As the world turns dark tonight
I will dream of you
If the light comes down from stars
It will get me through

Don't Doubt Yourself

;-Lutte Dystopique-;

I saw kings and queens and horses and fools
on a black & white board in a game with no rules
high heeled ladies dripping with jewels
and beggars a begging with an eye that drools
I saw scenes oh man i can hardly tell
some obscene and bizarre mixing heaven and hell
a cold silent spring a white masquerade
in the middle of June a Halloween parade
not one pink elephant in sight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw a pale frozen sun as from the outer space
saw jailers on the run not wearing a face
blazes a burnin’ the old mountain range
hurricanes blowing like a mind that’s deranged
I saw things oh man you wouldn’t believe
it’s crazy what a brain in sleep can conceive
anger and thunder black turning to fade
the future a swinging on the edge of a blade
in the yellowish sky no unicorns in flight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw Jesus bad tripping alongside Broadway
some tarot cards reader having nothing to say
but also i found as i passed my way
an orphan baby sparrow and that made my day
I saw a film oh man i just lack the words
and the screen was as large as the entire world
watchers a walking in a state of stupor
wondering what’s my acting and who’s the director
but no bonze in the air gliding on a kite
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw thousands of planes dead stuck on the ground
such a blast in an harbor it exploded the town
broken wings broken hearts in the port of shadows
a rastaman playing Piaf singing la vie en rose
I saw a woman oh man who gave me an eye
saying we’ll meet again in the sweet bye and bye
i got lost on my way and forced to the ground
i got caught in a loop like in 4th time around
down the pit did i see any flickering light?
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw lovers and friends who could not embrace
armies of zombies looking for solace
i heard echoes in time from the sweet golden age
of parsley and thyme rosemary and sage
I saw you oh man and you didn’t look great
petrified like you saw a demon at your gate
and while deciphering as a riddle your frown
i wondered could it mean the whole world’s upside down
and still no pink elephant in sight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
With some hopes and illusions tight clenched in my fist
i wandered along the old route 66
but trying to express all that i missed
it’s trying to grab a ghost in the mist
And i ain’t superstitious but i sure did see
a black cat in the night with eyes glaring at me
what i saw my friend was beyond belief
and i hoped that the morning would bring some relief
but alas alas what is life but a dream
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
And for sure not pink elephant in flight
In the dream i had last night
And the ones that i love i held them so tight
In the dream i had last night
And i enjoyed the past as a Turkish delight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night

TURKISH DELIGHT (Lyrics)

Despite what the virus is doing to our lives right now, at least there are still stars for us to look at.

There Are Still Stars

After quite a while, in this particular jam session I again experimented with playing back vocals which come from tracks that are at certain BPM. One of my favourite tempos is 100 BPM, which can include various genres of Electronic Music but also Hip-Hop, which I am quite fond of. And in the world of Hip-Hip, in my humble opinion, nobody comes close to the limber, laid-back low-rider style of Snoop Dogg, fo shizzle! So this time, I tried to incorporate the acapella version of his song "Back Up" into my jam session. 

As so often the case, this jam session took a couple of hours, and I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the result in stereo in Audacity, which I used in post-production to extract the best parts from that jam session in order to create this track. As always, I only used basic audio editing techniques like simple crossfades. Only a touch of soft limiting was applied, no elaborate approaches like mastering were used whatsoever. Thus, the result is raw and highly dynamic in nature, so put on your favourite headphones and turn up that volume knob, because the Loudness War is for losers!
