Dies ist die erste Episode aus der EP "Die Geschichte von Krankenschwester Hildegard". Die folgende Serie heißt "Helden der Arbeit". Jede EP besteht aus 3 Songs zu einem Beruf. Die deutschen Songtexte sind eigentlich kurze Gedichte von Horst Grabosch, die humorvoll die Arbeit in verschiedenen Berufen würdigen. Die Musik ist extrem eklektisch und ist aus vielen Musikstilen zusammengestzt.

Die Geschichte von Krankenschwester Hildegard

Maurer Klaus hat Schmerzen

Hints or Arabic rhythms mixed with traditional singer-songwriter, introduce Frank’s first single from his coming 3rd album and his 22nd release in just over 2 years.  Again we see his trademark top notch production, warm vocals and insightful lyrics making their mark. Frank’s main strength is surely his song-writing, which underpins the whole project and catches the attention of reviewers. 
“one of the best singer-songwriters today.” 
“A timeless universe of melodic pop" 
“as eclectic as it is ecstatic” 

The lyric delves into the gap between first blush and commitment in a new romance.  The fear and hope that collides within us as we tentatively explore someone else's feelings and compare them to our own. The unease of new love in a world where 'catching feelings' is seen as a bad thing.

Guest Star Lover (Lyrics)

Guest star lovers, songs and broken hearts,
Drink together, sing and drown your thoughts,
Love, live, run, never look back
Take a chance, lose control, sell your heart

Please...don’t leave me
See...right through me
Please... believe me
See...it’s not easy…

You want to make believe…but guest stars always bleed
You want your liberty…what else could it be?
Loneliness since birth…death by a thousand hurts
Now you want to play the lead…’cause guest stars always bleed…

Guest star lover seems like yesterday, we were together…
please can you stay
I dreamed forever you would never go, am I forgiven?...
guess we’ll never know…
Take cover, find another who’ll love you better…
It’s what gets you through
You recover like no other…
guest star lover…

Please...don’t leave me
See...right through me
Please... believe me
See...it’s not easy…

You want to make believe…but guest stars always bleed
You want your liberty…what else could it be?
Loneliness since birth…death by a thousand hurts
Now you want to play the lead…cause guest stars always bleed…

You sailed the seven seas…walked the Pyrenees
Since you were seventeen…lies were guaranteed
Don’t want to die alone...chills you to your bones
Now you want to play the lead…cause guest stars always bleed…

Guest stars always bleed...
Guest.. stars…bleed…

Grainy Days

GRAINY DAYS

As forty one summers flew by. 
Damn your age and the blink of your eye.
As all presumed miscreance followed by recompense.
Now. 
You're half done.

The pretender who should have been king.
The same man who could not do a thing for himself.
Or others, not following? 
Hard pills to swallow in life.
What a world.

Look... it's boredom or love on the rocks.
There's no way to avoid aftershocks.
It's either earth shattering, else it's a tiny bit... dull.
Choose your girl.

The fantasy life of your mind, 
Can only replace certain parts of the world.
We all have to live in it, hard to find give in it.
Relax.
Have a whirl.

Now you... hold your hands out to me.
Like we've still got the time.
I remember sixteen.
Seems like yesterday, right?

Was there much money where you grew up?
Were there many reasons to aim up?
Was there bread in the bread bin and laughter and music and songs?
Sing alongs?

Were your twenties a wonderful time? 
Or did you spend it trying to make sense of the world.
A drunken, embittering, withering, dallying fool.
What a world.

Now you... hold your hands out to me.
Now we're all on the slide.
Do you remember sixteen?
Bet you had quite the time.

What has become?
Face the rising sun.

What has become?

Much more to come.
Face the rising sun.

Now you... hold your hands out to me.
Like your right at my side.
I remember sixteen.
It was yesterday, right.

Down we go.
Down deeper we go.

ᴍᴀʏʙᴇ ɴᴏᴛ
(𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯)

We move through life, making choices that seem to matter, though we can't always tell.
And this was me, as though I was running out of time maybe I am or maybe I'm not. But still... here you are

Peace and Stars Mom,
see you in the clouds...

Lyrics:


Saw your future in advance 
You took a pose and shot a frame
Drop that picture in the sand
I might get back or sail away

Every fire has spoken
Every made-up broken wall

Here's your future in your face
You become water, fire and breath
Here's your future in the sand
Another you another place

Everyday is stuck and
Everyday is stuck and you roam

Every fire has spoken
Every made-up broken wall

Everyday is stuck and
Everyday is stuck and you roam

What I wanted to do
What I wanted to do
Was make something beautiful
Was make something beautiful

What I wanted from you
What I wanted from you
Was for you to forget me
Was for you to forget me

Let's hope for something beautiful
Let's hope for something true
Pure, poor and hopeful
Black and blue, beaten and bruised

Disappearing from view
Disappearing from view
You never saw me
You never saw me

What you asked me to do
What you asked me to do
I couldn't ignore it
I couldn't ignore it

I don't matter if you don't mind
Something beautiful 
It seems so hard to find
Something beautiful 
So hard to under stand
Something beautiful 
Slips right through my hands


The earth and the ash
The earth and the ash
Does it all matter
Does it all matter

There's no going back
There's no going back
It was something beautiful
It was something beautiful

Let's hope for something beautiful
Let's hope for something true
Pure, poor and hopeful
We're black and blue, beaten and bruised

EL AGAVE

https://youtu.be/QF6gWORmcvw

"Y así va a pasar ora na'má, na'má.
Uhh no le hace sí, yo como, yo soy de allí,
na'más yo me sacarron, me corrieron".

Veta de agua,
sombra negra, serena,
al fundirse, la llama nace y vibra:
el agave.

Grieta de tierra,
flora seca, desierta,
al fluirse el fuego crece y silba:
el agave.

Through the Stars
Words and Music by Tom Harris

[Verse 1]
A boy with wonder in his eyes,
Gazing up at endless skies.
Moon and Mars, the Sun so bright,
He asked the world about the night.

They called him strange, they pushed him down,
Yet he ran faster, left the ground.
Through the woods, across the sand,
He outran doubt, he took his stand.

[Chorus]
Through the stars, through the night,
Reaching far, chasing light.
Falling fast, yet rising high,
A broken heart still longs to fly.

Through the dark, through the cold,
Dreams won’t fade though time grows old.
Even bound, he still will soar,
Past the edge... forevermore.

[Verse 2]
Through the halls of Stanford’s gates,
He wrote the laws of time and fate.
Black hole whispers, cosmic tides,
He saw the start, where truth resides.

NASA called, his dream took form,
He trained through fire, he braved the storm.
Honest, faithful, strong in soul,
The stars so near—his final goal.

[Chorus]
Through the stars, through the night,
Reaching far, chasing light.
Falling fast, yet rising high,
A broken heart still longs to fly.

Through the dark, through the cold,
Dreams won’t fade though time grows old.
Even bound, he still will soar,
Past the edge... forevermore.

[Bridge]
Then the winds began to change,
Fate had carved a different page.
Doctors sighed, the time was short,
A heart too weak to reach the port.

[Verse 3]
On his bed, he heard the sound,
Engines roaring, leaving ground.
Watched his friends fly past the blue,
And in that moment, he just knew...

His body stayed, but not his soul,
Beyond the sky, beyond control.
Through the stars, through the tide,
He took his final, sacred ride.

[Final Chorus]
Through the stars, through the night,
Reaching far, chasing light.
Falling fast, yet rising high,
A broken heart still longs to fly.

Through the dark, through the cold,
Dreams won’t fade though time grows old.
Now unbound, he soars once more,
Past the edge... forevermore.

[Outro]
Past the Moon, past the Sun,
Heaven called—the race was won.
With open arms and endless flight,
He touched the stars... and found the light.

Through the Stars

Before there was the bluesman there was the songster. Priding themselves on their huge musical repertoires, they performed every form of popular music of the day and could be described as the human jukeboxes of their time.

Are you also a daydreamer?
Wiki says that daydream is a fantasy that a person has while awake.

Daydreaming is the stream of consciousness that detaches from current external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction. This phenomenon is common in people's daily life shown by a large-scale study in which participants spend 47% of their waking time on average on daydreaming . There are various names of this phenomenon including mind wandering, fantasy, spontaneous thoughts, etc. Daydreaming is the term used by Jerome L. Singer whose research programs laid the foundation for nearly all the subsequent research in this area today. The list of terminologies assigned by researchers today puts challenges on identifying the common features of the phenomenon, in this case daydreaming, and on building collective work among researchers.

There are many types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists, however the characteristic that is common to all forms of daydreaming meets the criteria for mild dissociation. Also, the impacts of different types of daydreams are not identical. While some are disruptive and deleterious, others may be beneficial in some way.

Yes, I'm daydreamer. For this track I used acoustic guitar, oboe and clarinet, upright and supplement it with glockenspiel.
