Remembering The Glorious Om Riff

Wenn Du weinst oder lachst
oder beides
Wenn Du schweigst oder schreist 
oider beides
Wenn Du hungerst oder isst
oder beides
Wenn Du arm oder reich bist
oder beides
Wenn Du willst oder nicht 
oder beides
Wenn Du lebst oder tod bist 
oder beides
Wenn Du gehst oder stehst
oder beides
Wenn Du trinkst oder durst hast
oder beides

Denn ist uns das hier scheiß egal
denn wir sind hier und Du bist so weit weg
Wir leben hier in saus und braus
und Du in schmutz krankheit und dreck


Wir
heucheln und lügen
oder beides 
fressen und saufen
oder beides
kaufen und verkaufen
oder beides
haben alles und mehr
oder beides
verschwenden wasser und luft
oder beides
verkaufen Tod und Leid
oder beides
Wir saugen alles aus und auf
oder beides
Wir trinken Blut oder Bier
oder beides


Denn uns ist alles scheiß egal
wir leben hier und jetzt und das ist toll
Alle könnten leben so wie wir
nur nicht bei uns denn hier ist´s voll

Scheissegal

"Waltz For 2 Pianos" composed by LINIR OR

not even sure what to classify this as but I'm rather pleased with it

to the skies

Sometimes the music comes without asking permission and so it progresses to the end  without any regrets, this is a case like that.

Piano Blues and Melodic Variations.

Lyrics:

Ascending in unison.
Suspended from above.
A wrinkle in time. 
It’s the final design. 
They synchronize the love.  
Are we still human?
Zeros and ones.      


I see it all the time, no I don’t want to think about it.
Hear it all the time, there’s no need to laugh about it.
Life in the hive, on the ion rise, it’s a frivolous ride.     
See the sun shine visions to me.
Eye in mind, from the soul divine. 
Where we all reside. 
Up in the great divide. 
Diminished light. 
Where we’re hypnotized. 
So to the dark we’re tantalized.

red wave

the fist to the sky
the voices in air
they are filling the city with protest
they are swinging the banner
and stand up for their rights
get they never tired to fight?

in front of the mirror, the truest friend of all
the old bitch get sorry, she is no more what she was
and she is emptying her glas
and painting her lips
in a red, red, red, red wave

red wave, the red wave so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name
red wave, red wave so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name

a man in his car
his spirit flies so far
he is hunting on a grey stone street
so hard are the trees, embracing him pleased
he is doing now the red, red wave

red wave, red wave so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name, no name
red wave, red wave, so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name

I never knew her name

The Golden Mantis are the Mannheim/Germany based musicians Silvia Subosco and Roger Münzenmayer.

In the mid 80s they already played together in The Valentines, one of the most exciting Mannheim bands at that time. When the group split up at the end of the 90s, this did not mean the musical end of the two of them at the same time. Silvia continued to compose magical songs in her idiosyncratic style and Roger continued to develop his creativity in many regional band projects.
 
In 2019, they finally came together again as The Golden Mantis to re-set the repertoire that had been created over the past years. Words and melodies are Silvia's thing, while Roger's signature is reflected in sound, music and production. The Golden Mantis publish their songs in both German and English.
 
The attempt to describe the band's music must fail miserably, because there is so much personality and emotion involved that every genre drawer creaks. There is only one way to approach them: LISTEN! The Golden Mantis songs are a unique melange. Classic singer/songwriter meets Indie Rock, Dark Folk, Chanson and 80s New Wave. Silvia's deep, warm and often rough voice takes the listener on a flying carpet into a different world - dark, plaintive, confident, warm ... and always emotional. If you follow this trail, her whole magic unfolds, shakes and a letting go is hardly possible.
