The lights are low your inhibitions are calling 
Take a chance explore your sexuality 
Your eyes are wide with curiosity
Just admit you can't control this heat 

Don't be shy 
Take a bite 
Of the pie 
It feels so good to make your mama cry, cry 

I've been called many things some say a bad influence
But it's all how you look
Or use perception
I say your perception is it on or off 

Say it loud when you let go
Never stop the river flow
Never say you can't be free
If you want, then you can fuck me

The lights are low your inhibitions are calling 
Take a chance explore your sexuality 
Your eyes are wide with curiosity
Just admit you can't control this shit

In your sweet embrace I see that familiar smile
There's no turning back 
I'm lost in you all the while

Photographic memories
Promising to tell no lies
Take me to another time zone
Where I'm Lost, a prisoner
By my hearts device

Say it loud when you let go
Never stop the river flow
Never say you can't be free
If you want, then you. can. fuck me

The lights are low your inhibitions are calling 
Take a chance explore your sexuality 
Your eyes are wide with curiosity
Just admit you can't control this heat shit

Things That Matter

Sugar & Steam is a steamy, lo-fi blend of neo-soul, R&B, and soft rap - a playful vignette of flirtation told through the ritual of coffee. Warm vocals drift between melody and conversational flow, layered over hazy jazz-hop textures and downtempo beats. Coffeehouse details (names misspelled, foam surprises, saved corners) become metaphors for touch, ritual, and desire.

Intimate yet groove-driven, this track feels like a whispered conversation stretched into rhythm: sensual, ritualistic, and irresistibly smooth.

(Overall Mood and Concept)
Sugar & Steam is a flirtatious, atmospheric track that lives at the edge of neo-soul, lo-fi R&B, and soft rap. The piece takes the ritual of a morning coffee and turns it into a sensual metaphor, weaving steam, spice, and routine into imagery of desire, intimacy, and repetition. It’s playful yet magnetic- a café vignette stretched into ritual, where every glance and every pour holds more meaning than the cup itself.

(Vocal Approach)
The vocals carry the duality of intimacy and swagger. The sung lines are warm and smooth, evoking a slow-brew soulfulness, while the spoken and soft rap sections add conversational immediacy. That blend gives the track its modern edge: it feels sung and confided at the same time, a mixture of lo-fi croon and bedroom confessional with rhythmic cadence.

(Lyrics & Poetics)
The lyrics are highly sensual without being explicit, “sugar in my coffee, steam across my skin” sets up a tactile metaphor that is extended playfully throughout. Everyday coffee-shop details (names misspelled, tips, foam, corners saved) become a ritualized language of attraction. The repetition of “Save that corner for me” near the end drives home that what seems casual is actually charged with longing and dependence.


[LYRICS]

Mmm…
You already know how I take it.
No cream, no sugar- just you…

Sugar in my coffee,
Steam across my skin.
Every pour you give me
Pulls the warmth from deep within.

Spice beneath the surface,
Drip that slow routine
You don’t ask if I want sweet,
You just serve it sugar & steam.

Your hands on the cup like you mean more.
Names misspelled, but I still score.
You lean on the counter, watch me flinch
One wink, and I lose my common sense.

Shots pull slow, you draw 'em long
Bitterness right, but your touch? Strong.
Every glance says stay, every smile says sip,
And I’m caught in that swirl from your morning script.

You stir slow like you know what it does…
Lookin’ like Sunday morning in a Monday rush…

Told me once it’s just coffee

Mm, lies.

I tip in exact, but you hand back change
Say it’s for luck, or to mess with my brain.
You ask if I want foam
I say surprise me…
And you do, with that look, that touch, precisely.

This ain’t no café thing- it’s ritual now.
I crave that steam more than I’d allow.
A thousand drinks, none hit like this!
Whatever you’re brewin’, it brews with bliss.

Sugar in my coffee,
Steam that makes me stay.
You press the morning into me
In a bold and crooked way.

Cinnamon on top now,
Dreams beneath the cream
No need to sweeten nothin’,
You already got the steam.

Save that corner for me.
Save that corner for me.
Save that corner for me.

Tomorrow same time… right?

Sugar & Steam – Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul, and a touch of Retro Soul served slow and warm.

A soulful, retro pop track with Southern flair and a touch of gospel grit, The vocals are sultry, confident, and rich with vintage character, telling a story of forbidden charm and youthful longing.

Sunday morning ((Sixties Soul))

Swung soul groove, jazzy glow, horns glide through 


Stumbled Into You

[Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go

[Verse 1]
Been here for a while now
And it's time to go
I packed up my bags boy
End of the show
I can't stand no more
Of these games you play
All your cheating and lying
It ends today

[Chorus]
So I'm ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go

[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna wait around for an apology
Cause there's nothing that you can say or that you can offer me
I've been a fool for the last time now I'm through
Get over yourself cause I'm over you
Over you (over you) (I'm so over you)

[Outro]
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go

I'm not gonna wait around for an apology
Cause there's nothing that you can say or that you can offer me

Ready To Go

Bis zwanzig war die Welt ’ne bunte Leinwand,
Erster Kuss, erste Liebe, alles fest in meiner Hand.
Dann zehn Jahre grau und schwer wie Beton,
Ich schau nicht zurück. War so. Ist so. Geht schon.

Düsseldorf, Neubeginn, die Straßen voller Licht,
Sinn gefunden, Mut und Kraft – ich liebe mich.
Kinder? Hätt’ ich gern, bin spät dran, noch ist nix vorbei 
Freunde sind Familie, wir steh’n zusammen, du und ich dabei

Ich leb bunt, ich leb chaotisch, nicht zu ernst, nein
Die Welt genießen, tanzen, spüren, Sonnenschein
Herzschlag treiben, jede Sekunde voll entfacht
Alles leben, alles lieben, bis der Morgen wieder lacht

Beruflich angekommen, menschlich auch am Ziel,
Freunde, Liebe, Mukke – das ist mein Ventil.
Sturm und Wind? Wir tanzen drüber, leicht wie Luft,
Beats und Lichter um uns – das ist meine Sucht.

Düsseldorf, Neubeginn, ein neuer Sinn entsteht,
Mich neu erfunden, Energie, die niemals vergeht.
Viel erreicht, Manches noch im Werden, der Weg bleibt frei,
Freunde sind Familie, wir steh’n zusammen – du und ich dabei.

Ich leb’ bunt, ich leb’ chaotisch, nicht zu ernst, nein
Die Welt genießen, tanzen, spüren, Sonnenschein
Herzschlag treiben, jede Sekunde voll entfacht
Alles leben, alles lieben, bis der Morgen wieder lacht

Bunt wie der Himmel nach dem Regen 
Chaotisch wie Gedanken, die mich bewegen
Nicht zu ernst, sonst geht’s nicht gut
Ich nehm alles mit, jede Sekunde, jeden Mood

Ich leb’ bunt, ich leb’ chaotisch, nicht zu ernst, nein
Die Welt genießen, tanzen, spüren, Sonnenschein
Träume fliegen, Flammen tanzen durch die Nacht,
Alles jetzt, alles hier, bis der Morgen wieder lacht.

Alles bunt, alles frei, bis der Tag erwacht,
Alles Herz, alles Leben, bis der Morgen wieder lacht.

My songs often dwell on the possible dark futures, but today’s world also offers abundant reasons for hope.  Medical innovation is saving lives, renewable energy is reshaping economies, endangered species are recovering, and ordinary people continue to show extraordinary kindness.  These developments remind us that progress and empathy are not only possible but already happening—offering a real counterpoint to despair and a foundation on which a more hopeful future can grow.

“Good News” is a chilled and positive upbeat jazz/r’n’b celebration of human progress and everyday kindness, turning real-world advances into a musical sunrise of hope.  Images of solar fields, children laughing by restored rivers, and tigers roaming recovering forests highlight tangible environmental and social achievements, while the chorus—“hope is on the move, the world keeps proving what people can do”—underscores the power of collective action and small acts of love.  The message of the song is that despite the world’s troubles, compassion, innovation and resilience are steadily creating a better future.

Dit lied vertrekt vanuit één idee: de wereld bestaat niet in ons hoofd, maar tussen ons in. Zoals Dirk De Wachter zegt: “Wij worden mens in de ogen van de ander.” Werkelijkheid krijgt pas vorm in ontmoeting.
Psychologie en neurobiologie zeggen hetzelfde: onze hersenen spiegelen, resoneren, synchroniseren — we worden letterlijk door elkaar gemaakt.

Tussen ons in

Pour Christina-Une Vie --texte Sonine.mp3

This is the music project of Steve Lewis, a classically trained cellist and multi-instrumental singer-songwriter based in Berlin, Germany. 

The name eklektika.berlin is striking and layered—it carries both an immediate sonic appeal and a set of resonances that fits the project’s artistic and philosophical ambitions:

1. Wordplay and Etymology
-Eklektika derives from the Greek eklektikos (“selective,” “choosing the best”), which in modern usage signals eclecticism—an openness to many styles and influences.
-The -ika ending also hints at “musica,” giving it a subtle musical cadence.
-Written in a slightly unexpected “k” spelling, it feels at once ancient and contemporary, European yet cosmopolitan.

2. Berlin Anchor
-Pairing it with .berlin instantly grounds the project in a city long known as a crossroads of cultures and avant-garde experimentation—from Weimar cabaret and Bauhaus to today’s electronic scene.
-The domain-style format suggests digital nativity and a living online presence; it reads simultaneously as a brand, a collective, and a web address.

3. Artistic Implications
-“Eklektika” signals that the work blends genres, eras and media—classical forms, rock energy, AI-generated textures—without being confined to one school.
-The Berlin reference underscores a tradition of boundary-pushing art and hints at an international, forward-looking ethos.

4. Memorable & Marketable
-Short, easy to pronounce in many languages, and visually distinctive with its twin “k”s, it is search-friendly and brand-ready.
-It invites curiosity—people instinctively want to know what “eklektika” means and why it’s tied to Berlin.

eklektika.berlin communicates exactly what the project embodies: a bold, eclectic fusion rooted in Berlin’s creative energy while open to global and futuristic influences—an identity that feels both timeless and unmistakably of the AI-age.
