Description: A song about moving. a dozen years ago I moved from California to South Dakota. So I wrote a song about it. Remixed with Riffworks, I redid the vocals and then mastered it with Ozone7.

First After The Giant

Introduction in English:

Sometimes I wonder if there is some kind of ‘safe place’ in this world. Everywhere I look: Wars, climate disasters, starvation and poverty. Not to mention the increasing everyday violence at home, in the neighbourhood and on the streets.
As early as 1962, John Lennon described in the song ‘There's a Place’ (perhaps also under the impression of the Cuban Missile Crisis at the time with the acute threat of a third world war) that sometimes the only thing left to do is to retreat to an inner safe place when the outside world (as is now increasingly the case again) is increasingly on the brink of an abyss.
In this respect, this song is highly topical, although I would like to add that the search for the inner safe place should only ever be temporary, in order to regain strength there (for example through one's own musical creativity) in order to make a greater contribution to the preservation of the earth and human coexistence in the outer world.
I am sure that John Lennon meant this kind of fluid balance between gathering oneself inwardly and being lovingly in the world.       

Introduction in German:

Manchmal frage ich mich, ob es auf dieser Welt eine Art "Sicherer Ort" gibt. Wo ich hinschaue: Kriege, Klimakatastrophen, Hungern und Armut. Ganz zu schweigen von der zunehmenden alltäglichen Gewalt zu Hause, in der Nachbarschaft und auf den Strassen.
John Lennon hat (vielleicht auch unter dem Eindruck der damaligen Kuba-Krise mit akuter Dritte Weltkriegsgefahr) in dem Song "There's a Place" schon 1962 beschrieben, dass einem manchmal nur der Rückzug an einen inneren sicheren Ort verbleibt, wenn die äußere Welt (wie jetzt zusehends wieder) zusehends an einem Abgrund steht.
Insofern ist dieser Song brandaktuell, wobei ich hinzufügen möchte, dass das Aufsuchen des inneren sicheren Ortes immer wieder nur vorübergehend erfolgen sollte, um dort (etwa über eigenes musikalisches Schaffen) wieder Kraft zu sammeln, um in der äußeren Welt verstärkt einen eigenen Beitrag zum Erhalt der Erde und des menschlichen Miteinanders zu leisten.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass John Lennon diese Art von Fließgleichgewicht zwischen sich innerlich sammeln und liebevoll in der Welt sein gemeint hat.              


There`s a place (Lennon/Mccartney)

An experiment with homemade percussion instruments. An old pickle jar and an oven pipe covered with fur, drums made of spruce wood, a bamboo tube as a rattle that wanders throughout the entire piece along with the bass. There are also grungy guitars and drums.

Lyrics IPG1:
Cloud Stepping (Chorus) Life is relative, 
to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, 
to giving and taking it 
Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few 
we have can nearly fit
(Verse1) 
If we knew it all, and all, and all 
Then nothing would matter It’s all a puzzle to be solved 
We have always been the answer 
The plan of god without reward 
Evolves in different ways 
We are all awake in different dreams 
To let the devil play
(Verse2)
 Who amongst us hear the screams 
Of millions of lives lost,  and don’t look on it as savagery
 And wonder what’s the cost 
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost 
Are we listening or not 
Are we listening or not
(Chorus)
 Life is relative, to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, to giving and taking it Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few we have can nearly fit

Introduction in English:

People often tell me that when they are with a loved one who is about to die, they feel particularly close to them. 
Sometimes, in such moments, the history of their relationship flashes before their eyes. 
Some report reaching a deeper peace with the person in question shortly before their death. Often, the dying say things they have never been able to say in their lifetime. For example, a father who, shortly before his death, is able to tell his daughter for the first and only time that he has always loved her.
Many of those left behind tell me that they did not want to let the dying person go, but that they somehow realized that they had to let go of their loved one so that they could pass away as peacefully as possible; that they could not “die with them,” but had to continue living alone. 
And it is not uncommon for those who are approaching death to tell their accompanying relatives that they should continue to live well and in peace.
All of these stories inspired me to write the song “Mourir (Dying).” And as always, for such fundamental existential experiences, I choose the language that best expresses these radical moments of transition: French.


Lyrics (for those, who don`t speak French)

Dying

I watched over your bed 
Sat here with you night after night

Your breathing is very laboured
And it's been a long time
Since I spoke to you

The cancer has destroyed you 
You lie there, powerless and limp

You've lost the fight 
No, you won't be reborn

The thread of your life is increasibly breaking

Your gaze is so empty
Come on, please look at me again 

One last time
Don't go yet
Come on, turn around one last time.

Your heart is beating so weakly
So stay awake a little longer

I'm really letting you go
But let us look at each other once more
A farewell glance before you pass over

It's already too late
I'm saying a prayer for you.

So go in peace
Without pain

Forever my great Love

Französischer Text

Mourir

J'ai veillé à ton chevet
Je suis restée avec toi nuit après nuit
Ta respiration est tres difficile
Et cela fait tres longtemps
que je t'ai parlé

Le cancer t'a emporté
tu es là, sans force et sans vigueur
Tu as perdu la bataille 
non, tu ne renaîtras pas
Le fil de ta vie se rompt de plus en plus

Ton regard est si vide
Viens regarder encore une fois
Une dernière fois
Ne pars pas encore
Tourne-toi encore une fois

Ton cœur ne bat plus que très faiblement
Mais reste encore un peu éveillé

Je vais vraiment te laisser partir
Mais regarde-moi encore une dernière fois
Un regard d'adieu avant la transition

Il est déjà trop tard
je fais une prière pour toi

alors va en paix, libre de toute douleur
Pour toujours mon grand amour

Mourir (Dying)

save your home work.

Sideways

Hearing shots again
What can be done?
Sometimes it feels
like there is no room for reason.

In the days of punk
'79
Wine and dine, all seemed fine 
but times were changing

  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

They pawned the truth out
and bartered the facts
These moodswings hit me sideways
no happy ending these days.

Cover my back, wipe the tracks
It seems wise, 
not to blow 
this disguise yet 

  Sideways down the slope 
  Sliding into the rope 

You cancel me
I cancel you
what we're gonna do now?
try to get out somehow

Fingers crossed
hope for the best
but prepare for the worst
in these present troubled times

  Scattershots matter not
  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

Lyrics: Alexander Schwarz/JUXTA

Me and JUXTA teamed up and realized this cool track. I am overjoyed, that this guy from the UK offered his services to sing on this tune. Boys and girls, check out his profile! https://soundcloud.com/juxtamusic
He is a vocal and musical wizard!

Lyrics:
If I could be who I wanted to be
at least for a day
a millionaire
with long black hair
and coloured tattoos
everywhere

A ´67
Mustang cabriolet
coloured in red
with stripes
and a Harley with neon lights
would be my rides

I´d buy me
a house in Vegas
and make more money
with casinos and whores
smoke Havannas all day long
with a Calvin Klein suit on
and drink champaign
from Britney Spears`
high heeled shoes at night

(Pre chorus)
I live on the fast lane
I am a mainstream fame
Heather Locklear calls my name

(Chorus/Refrain)
Naked girls all around
rock´n´roll is the sound
too much beer and wine
hellyeah - that´s so fine

UK Songwriting Contest 2017: Special Mention

Castles in the Air [acoustic demo]

Well, we made it halfway through 2025!
 Not very much has changed here in Dungeon of Doom Studio. I will still continue to put out honest music, created right here by me, through the last half of the year. I have a few new ideas in the works, some heavy and some not (maybe even a couple with vocals) which I will finish putting together and release in the coming months. 
Thanks for following me and checking out my music, stay tuned!
You can find me on Youtube and Instagram from the links below. Take care.
