SPIRA

Illa Sera

Yet another strange and noisy instrumental track... rather simple, but love the "machine percussion part"! :)

Still work in progress (track and sound)... also not so sure about the title.

Who recognizes were I already used those radio vocals wins... my honest respect and gratitude! ;)

Bye for now!

Lyrics

A commodity you sold.
For an act that's gotten old.
A mask that lays discarded in the dark.
A point made that clean missed the mark.
A fragment of a word.
Or a story you misheard.
Filled your pockets to the trim with all their mould.
Ignoring the rich fields of gold. 

(ooooooo)
I know that you don't really care.
(ooooooo)
I know my faults.
(ooooooo)
I know that you don't listen in.
I took too long to begin.
Written off.

A momentary lapse.
To behaviours of the past.
Pay the ferryman with coins that you had stole.
A pointless collector of souls.
A phoney masquerade.
A throw off to the shade.
Your tactics are excused now, on the whole.
Felt rung out and wrought by the goal.

(ooooooo)
I know that you're not really there.
(ooooooo)
It's just a jolt.
(ooooooo)
I know that rivalry's a thing.
A simple tune to sing.
From the vault.

(ooooooo)
I know there's wastelands and a king.
(ooooooo)
I know the job.
(ooooooo)
I know there's snakes and everything.
I caught a glimpse.
Only a glance.
Aside: "perchance!"
So I've no chance...
With all you Snakes.
So I'm away.

The ringing of the bell.
Won't shake you from the spell.
A payment you have pending from the dole.
A vessel to fill up with coal. 
An un-heeded warning.
Before the anger has set in.
The centre that is struggling to hold. 
A vector for lies that are old.

(ooooooo)
I know that charm can often hide.
(ooooooo)
A selfish grin.
(ooooooo)
We've all been taken for a ride.
To hell we go.
In a handcart.
We made a start.
Usual ride.
A dagger in the side.
Misses the heart.

More Snakes [2024 Remaster]

Landslide

First recorded in December 2022.
From the album Salt.

It's a song about the castle.

LYRICS

There's a castle that stands,
on a hill, above the sands,
while the people below,
hatch some plans. 
Though the fields and the trees,
are packed with stupidity.
Might be you, could be me,
naturally.

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

As the castle looks down,
ashen faced, in the town, 
oh, the people they frown,
looking down.
And they never glance up,
at these rocks they've piled above, 
piled for years, piled with tears,
piled with love. 

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

The castle surrounds, 
a cliff top, above the town, 
seabirds cry,
as they circle around 
Control has no bounds,
like a face in the clouds,
looking down at the state of the town. 

And what will we be.
For one thing, were not free.
There's a castle, 
which watches, 
you go.

🥀 LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I wear it on my dress tonight, I wear it on my face
This melancholy temperaments got me dancing in a maze
And someone says a joke but I didn't catch it 
Coz I'm so far away
I am but a vine, who's  forgotten where she's growing from 
And your a chess man

[ Pre Chorus ]
Lost in the garden,
In the garden
Lost in the garden,
In the garden

[ Chorus ]
And that's the thorn in me 
That only wants to see
Disaster and beauty 
Guess that's the thorn in me
But life still needs some glitter with your roses 
Your roses

[ Verse 2 ]
I wanna give a hug to the void but then would it recognise me
Zoning out someone spills their drink and my thoughts they are right off the brink
This moody garden it envelopes me and i've lost my connection to the ground
Misty moonlight breaks my heart just right and you keep drifting far away

[Pre Chorus]
Lost in the garden,
In the garden
Lost in the garden,
In the garden

[Chorus]
And that's the thorn in me 
That only wants to see
Disaster has beauty 
Guess that's the thorn in me
But life still needs some glitter with your roses 
Your roses

[Bridge]
You know me I'm thinking on my toes but I'm falling on my back
You know me I see the good with the bad but I just can't understand why you call me back 

[Chorus]
And that's the thorn in me 
That only wants to see
Disaster has beauty 
Guess that's the thorn in me
But life still needs some glitter with your roses 
Your roses

Birthday Cake

New year. New deal... same BS every time. And the simple things get pushed further away.

Lyrics
Its a borrowed Life for the wife and the kids
its a 5 part special of life on the skids
its welfare on wall-street yes we know that its not smart
but theres no time to use good sense just open up your heart
We cant make it simple and real
we must not make it simple and real
because its the new deal

its buy the lie now and pay over time
low monthly payments affordable crime
its the latest new deal now theres no time to mess around
its pay it no mind cuz you’ll be 6 feet underground
lets not make it simple and real
no we must not make it simple and real
because its the new deal

its a weekend for two with all expenses paid
where nobody says no and everyone gets laid
its a big screen tv set
a brand new red corvette
its a cancer free cigarette oh you bet
taken it to the bank
use it to fill your tank

its a frenzied pace better roll with the hype
its a Christmas card with a magnetic stripe
its no Sunday dinner and baseball for free
and its no vodka and poker with aunt marie
we cant make it simple and real
no we must not make it simple and real
because its the new deal…

children of all ages its the new deal.
there's a sucker born everyday
I wanna be born again..

The New Deal

The vastness of space fills me with deep respect for the unknown and gratitude for life on our planet.
Die Weite des Weltalls erfüllt mich mit tiefer Achtung für das Unbekannte und in Dankbarkeit für das Leben auf unserem Planeten.

INFO: Middle aged music maker (and recreational drummer) from the middle of Franconian nowhere arranging music for open minded music lovers who (like me) don't want to listen to the same (kind of) music all/every day - way too boring (or even annoying).

So you'll find all kinds of stuff here, from Space Jazz to Hip Hop, from Synthpop to Triphop, from Folk to Doom, from here to there, from then to now, and many things in between - except for "pure" EDM / Techno / Trance, not my cup of tea. :P 

Many tracks tend towards "alternative pop". Well, if you don't like a song/genre - just skip it! I won't mind...  ;)

-----
P.S.: Before you ask: I (almost) never start with the vocals, asking myself: what strange things could I make with those?

Instead I start making strange music THEN look for some vocal parts that might fit. You'd be surprised how often you get a "match" the moment you throw those in the mix. Well, sometimes it needs a little tweaking... ;)
