Lyrics:
In a room that you call your own     
Every day like the one before
What you left it was never home     
And the people now are gone

All your life in a twelve by ten     
And your dreams mostly in your head
Where's the love well it came and went     
And it's been away too long

This isn't where you thought you'd be     
Alone every night with your tv
A bottle of wine won't help     
What's missing in your life

I see the writing on the wall   
Do you think it's over?
I hear what you won't say    
What's always on your mind
Don't tell me you can't ever change     
'Cause I've seen you hopeful
Tell me you will think      
Of all that you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...     
       
In a room where it all began     
With your life there in plastic bags
You give up what you never had     
Cause everything has changed

All the years they get by somehow  
And the hope where you once were proud
Of the plans they were so profound     
But were humbled by the game

I see the writing on the wall    
Cause you think it's over
I know what's goin on    
When you say you're alright
You tell me you can't start again  
Nothin's left to hope for
I say that's not true     
There's so much you can try
If only you can try     
There's so much you can try

When you look out every morning in your life
Look ahead and not behind
You never know what tomorrow brings you

This isn't where I thought you'd stay
I'm down on my knees and now I pray
Cause what you're about to do  
There'll be no turning back
No  'cause I think it's over  

I saw the writing on the wall    
But I couldn't stop you
You said that you'd hold on    
And now I say goodbye

When I think I'm out of hope  
Nothin's left to live for
I can hear you say      
It's gonna be alright
If only you can try     
YEAH YEAH  if only you can try
If only you can try      
You can try, you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...

You Can Try

A HUGE amount of gratitude for all the support, re-posts, likes, and comments.
This means the world to me. 
Another track from my album coming soon.

Lyrics:
Here I am again
Heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when 
I’ll ever understand
Maybe never 
Maybe now I’ll see myself
And all that I’ve become

Is it me out there
Seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,
It lets me down every time
Right before my eyes,  
He keeps me warm, 
A kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  
He gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  
And you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel  
so hard to feel

He gives me love 
And a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you 
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  
And you can flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love  
he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  
He gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Lyrics:
Made up some mantra cards
And I carry them close everywhere I go
I can win I can change I can see myself reaching further

Don't have much money these days
But I'm rich with a spirit that never gives up
I'm in this forever, as long as it takes I'll be dreamin'

On and on the world spins and here, my only life to live
What will it be from now as I look forward?

It's all about the choices I make
What I do, where I go for the rest of my days
I’ll learn from the past 
But I'll only look back when I'm older

No one's gonna take my dreams away
No one’s gonna change my resolution 
I want only memories,  and no regrets yeah
I'm the one who's gonna  make it right
Oh I'm the only who's gonna live this life
So I'm holdin out this time for something more
Reaching further than I have before

I need my mantra cards
Seems the voices of fear 
They keep pulling me down
Faraway from the crowd 
I must learn what it means to be silent

Cause only in my head 
A wall can turn into an open door
If I can see it I can walk right through it
While all around me life goes on 
I hear the beat of my own drum 
I listen and I know I'm getting closer

No one's gonna take my dreams away
No one's  gonna change my resolution
I want only memories 
And no regrets, yeah

I'm  the one I'm gonna make it right
Oh I'm the one I'm gonna live this life
So I'm  holdin' on this time
You see I'm holdin' on 
This time for something more
Reaching further than I have before
I can see myself reaching further

09/12/25 Best in headphones!!!! Thank you for stopping by and for listening and sharing. Comments are wonderful also so thank you in advance if you should feel compelled. 

Well well well, here I am again; happy but still very anxiety-ridden about posting. Since I don't post that often, I guess my skin is not that thick. Regardless, I felt it was time to post another track from my 13-song album. 

I love this quote from Carl Sagan's book Contact: “You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

Lyrics
Here we are so close but still so faraway
What have we lost for all the comfort we have gained​
Such clever minds but still we’re disconnected souls
And in my heart  worry for the future yet untold

In a hundred years what will everybody say?
How could we lose the beauty of this place
Why does it take so long only
To open eyes to do what’s right
Maybe this is all we need
A billion six to all agree

This is my life
Half now gone by
Still there’s much time 
To make it something good yeah
I can do it 
I can be the difference
Gonna make things better
Just a little at a time

I confess my apathy but now I am aware
I walk upon the earth as softly as I’ll ever dare
This thing is big, much bigger than my life, bigger than yours
To find solutions to our perils it cannot be done alone

Out among the trees will the little children play
Or is all we leave them is just a memory of this place
You and I we may be strangers
Here we are in this together
Maybe this is all we need
Maybe this is all we need
Can seven billion all agree

Don’t go lightly
I'll fight for something
Making my life mean
Something that is good
I can do it
I can be the difference
I can make things better
Just a little at a time 
Just a little at a time,  yeah
Maybe this is all we need 
Can seven billion all agree?
(Heavy sigh!)

Volker Carl Jacoby - Autor, Poet, Kabarettist, Comedian, Liedermacher, Synchronsprecher, Journalist, Pastor - 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.
