Wrote and recorded this in anticipation that there may be peace agreement ? Hopefully that’s today ! 

Dust in the air whispers the fight
Broken streets bathe in twilight
The walls don’t talk but they hold the pain
Every shadow here knows the name

Oh where is peace in Gaza tonight
Under the stars
Under the fight
Oh where is hope
Where is the light
Peace in Gaza
Oh hold it tight

A mother hums though her heart is torn
Cradling dreams that were never born
Children draw skies where the doves won’t fly
They colour  the truth but they live the lie

The ground shakes but the spirit stands
Empty hands still demand

Oh where is peace in Gaza tonight
Under the stars
Under the fight
Oh where is hope
Where is the light
Peace in Gaza
Oh hold it tight

Peace in Gaza .mp3

👀 Electrophilic Video:  https://youtu.be/2-cUjiUljLc 

Electrophilic is an exploration of attraction, tension, and release — a high-voltage EDM techno track built around driving rhythms, hypnotic synth patterns, and kinetic basslines. It’s a sonic reaction in motion, inspired by the chemistry of connection and energy transfer.
In chemistry, an electrophilic species is one that seeks out electron-rich regions — drawn toward sources of energy and charge. These species are often positively charged , which carry excess electrons. The result is a moment of fusion, transformation, and creation.
This track mirrors that process in sound: the buildup represents attraction, the drop captures the collision, and the rhythm embodies the reaction that follows — raw, dynamic, and electric.
Crafted for late-night sets and underground dance floors, Electrophilic channels that same elemental force — a surge of motion and magnetism where sound meets chemistry.

Welcome to Palma, two bears in bed

Lyrics:
The Vikings had an Erickson to reach a distant land.
Magellan chased the spinning globe, charting stars by hand.

They all looked up at Kitty Hawk as new wings cut the sky.
Courage lifted off the sand and showed us how to fly.
Look up my friend, look up again tonight.

The night is long, the stars still burn, especially at night.
The dark can’t teach the stars despair, always happy, always bright.
Stars don't move, just our eyes. They don’t cry when we fight.
Look up my friend, look up again tonight.

We teach machines to think like us, for profit, fear and wars.
They mirror all our human fuss but can't look up at stars.

Please don’t be like Elon, who's lost it all around,
where once he used to look beyond but now he just looks down.

You see the ground, it pulls you down,
the night seems long, but stars surround.
Look up my friend, look up again tonight.

You could be another Cochran, just like Jacqueline, maybe Zephram.
You could be just like Yeager and break another barrier.

The world shared a common tune and made us all look up when
Neil and Buzz aimed for the moon. A giant leap from one small step.

The night is long, the stars still burn, especially at night.
The dark can’t teach stars despair, always happy, always bright.
Find the star that lights your way, your purpose in the night.
Look up my friend, look up again tonight.

Look Up

Little "Mini" shines so bright, Came into our world last night

If the sky could crack Would it spill its heart 
If the stars could sing Would they play a part 
In a world where the echoes don't fade 
Would you hear my voice Or would it be delayed 

If I told you Would you stay 
If I showed you Would you sway 
If love's a game Let's press play 
If Oh if It’s all today

If the ground could shift Would it hold us still 
If the oceans whispered Would you feel the thrill
 In a life that spins like a record too fast 
Would we slow it down or make it last 

Questions tumble like falling dice 
Every answer comes at a price 

If I told you Would you stay 
If I showed you Would you sway 
If love's a game Let's press play 
If Oh if It’s all today 

If the wind could write It’d spell your name 
If the sun could blush It’d feel the same 
Every "if" is a door Every door's a chance 
Would you walk with me Would you take the dance

Have you ever had a good night's sleep disturbed by a persistent mosquito? If so you'll know how frustrating it can be.
With thanks to the author Verna Aardema (writer of the book 'Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears') for the inspiration.

 I live in the " Real World  " lyrics by Glenny G
What's the matter with the car your driving it seems to be running fine 
"Fine Fine Fine Fine "
Why complain about the place your living it's just for doing time
" Time Time Time Time "
I can't worry about your mental state , I'm sick and tired of trying
" Bye Bye Bye Bye "
In just in case you can't relate ,  inside I feel like dying " I feel like crying "
But I'm working on me even though your walking out
I live in the real world not the one all filled with doubts 
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
 I live in the real not alone in fantasy
What's the matter with this watch I'm wearing it must be running slow
" Time time time time "
I thought I had so much more to do but I need some place to go
" Fun Fun Fun Fun "
Cruising down the lost highway it seemed to be where I'm bound
" Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce "
I'm satisfy me a real soul someone who wont let me down
 " Wont Let me down "
Cause I'm working on me even though I'm running free
I live in the real world not a lone in fantasy
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
I live in the real world not alone in fantasy
I'm gonna take a long vacation and write myself a  sad sad song
Shake loose all this aggravation , heal my heart up oh so strong
I live in the real world . I live in the real world , I live in the real world
I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD >>>>>>>>>>>>>

I live in the " Real World " !

Volker Carl Jacoby - Autor, Poet, Kabarettist, Comedian, Liedermacher, Synchronsprecher - https://www.literaturland-saar.de/personen/volker-carl-jacoby

Author, poet, cabaret artist, songwriter, voice actor, journalist and even pastor: Volker C. Jacoby is active in many fields.

He spent his childhood and youth in St. Ingbert. Saarland, Germany, where he attended the humanistic and classical language branch of the State Secondary School. After university and various jobs, he began working freelance for „Saarländischer Rundfunk“ Radio, initially as a correspondent for the SR 3 regional news program, in parallel with his readings and literary solo cabaret programs. This was followed by roles as a narrator for radio plays, as a voice actor, and for various commercials.

In 1977, Jacoby teamed up with Schorsch Seitz to form the duo "Jacoby & Schorsch." Together, they primarily composed humorous songs in Standard German and the Rhenish-Franconian-Saarland dialect with a cabaret-like, ironic touch. Their dialect songs, in particular, filled a clearly existing gap in the market, especially since "SR 3 Saarlandwelle" featured them permanently on their programming, thus making them known to a wider audience. Subsequently, "Jacoby and Schorsch" produced three vinyl albums and three singles. During their tours, they also performed open-air gigs with rock bands.

Soon well known beyond the borders of Saarland, the duo received engagements in Berlin, Stuttgart (Südfunk), Cologne (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), Frankfurt, Munich, Basel, and Brussels, among others. During a TV recording at the Renitenztheater in Stuttgart, they also met Mathias Richling and Karl Dall. Jacoby collaborated with the latter several times for RTL on the radio show "Die schlaue Stunde." In 1993, the popularity of "Jacoby & Schorsch" peaked – not least through their appearances with Hanns Dieter Hüsch  (A "Hüsch Evening" with music in memory of his friend and cabaret colleague Hanns Dieter Hüsch was added to the repertoire – later in 2010).

He moved to France 1994. Since then, he has been performed readings, including singing. His dialect contributions have provided him with a rewarding outlet in the "Mundartring Saar" (Saarland dialect circle), including as a reciter of poems by deceased fellow authors, to whom he lends his voice.

Constantly prolific in literary terms, his poems are in the tradition of comic poetry in the style of Wilhelm Busch, Christian Morgenstern, Joachim Ringelnatz, Eugen Roth, Heinz Erhardt, and Robert Gernhardt. Volker C. Jacoby also publishes his poetry and prose on LiteratPro, Facebook, and YouTube. Since 2025, he has been setting his poems to music and is constantly writing new songs. And, of course, he continues to write his cheerful, humorous, and often very quirky poems.
