In some countries, queer people are still harassed, persecuted, beaten, killed and discriminated to this day. They are being used by governments to achieve political goals. 'Rainbow Over Moscow' is a song to raise awareness of this situation. It stands for diversity, love, freedom & pride and celebrates the whole spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community. It's about being proud of who and what you are. Being gay is as much human nature, as a rainbow that appears over a city. That's a fact, and no one, not even an anti gay government, can do something about it. 

'Rainbow Over Moscow' was released as a 4-track EP on June 4th 2021, featuring the original song, an extended disco remix, an extended disco dub and an instrumental version. It is available on the usual streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music etc., in online shops such as iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp etc. and of course in the music section on the website of Your Funny Uncle: https://www.yourfunnyuncle.com

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
They say you’re sick, call you a sin
But you don’t want to let them win
You’re being used for a power game
And they’re the ones who are to blame
Pray to their god and to their hell
Will find yourself in a prison cell
In the night you can clear your mind
can be among your own kind

(Bridge)
Be queer
No fear
Get loud 
And shout  

(Chorus)
Rainbow over Moscow
Sun shines over rain
Rainbow in your disco
Dance away your pain
Rainbow over Moscow
Nothing they could do
Rainbow in your world
Rainbow just for you

(Verse 2)
Rain, Sun, Thunderstorm
Just you wait till I get you home
Fears, tears, broken dreams
Nothing’s ever what it seems

(repeat bridge)

(repeat chorus)

Lyrics:
Disco Wedding

Live happily ever after
And just the way you want
Let no one tell you different 
The truth is that they can’t 

(verse 1:)
There’s so much more
Than boy meets girl
There’s so much more 
Than in your world 
There’s so much more
Than girl meets boy
There’s so much more 
To bring you joy 

(chorus:)
Live happily ever after
And just the way you want
Let no one tell you different 
The truth is that they can’t 
Live happily ever after
And just the way you want
Let no one tell you different 
The truth is that they can’t 

(verse 2:)
Now share your rings 
To show it’s true
And share your love
I know you do
Cause Love is love 
And that’s a fact
They have no right
To hold you back

(repeat chorus)

(break:)
Disco wedding
Fabulous setting
Gorgeous guest list
Spouses get kissed
Two dads, two moms
Parents, no harms

(repeat chorus)

Lyrics:

Lost in space
That’s what you are 
Cause you think 
You are a star

You’re just one in a Million 
Depending on someone’s opinion 
Sometimes loser, sometimes winner
Are you saint or are you a sinner?

Lost in space
Sometimes it seems 
It‘s a race
Are we in teams?

You’re just one in a Million 
Depending on someone’s opinion 
Sometimes loser, sometimes winner
Are you saint or are you a sinner?

Lost in space
Where do you go
It’s no shame
If you don’t know

You’re just one in a Million 
Depending on someone’s opinion 
Sometimes loser, sometimes winner
Are you saint or are you a sinner?

You’re just one in a Million 
Depending on someone’s opinion 
Sometimes loser, sometimes winner
Are you saint or are you a sinner?

Lost In Space

„Keep It Simple" is a smooth empowerment song. It’s message is to keep it simple and not to be afraid to go your own way. Failing (or falling) is part of the process and will only make you stronger.

Lyrics:

Complicated things and stuff
Make you think that it is rough
The truth is somewhere in between
You saw it last night in your dream 
A dream becomes reality 
You can’t decide what you will be
When time has come you will know
A true magician will never show

Keep it simple 
Keep it clear
Go your way 
And don’t have fear
You might be falling
From time to time
It makes you stronger
And you’ll be fine

On the backseat of your car
You know it will not get you far
Cause money’s short and life is tight
Still you know it will be alright 

Keep it simple 
Keep it clear
Go your way 
And don’t have fear
You might be falling
From time to time
It makes you stronger
And you’ll be fine

Keep it simple 
Keep it clear
Go your way 
And don’t have fear
You might be falling
From time to time
It makes you stronger
And you’ll be fine

Keep It Simple

"Language Is A Weapon“ is a song about the power of language and how hurtful it sometimes can be. But it’s also an uplifting and energetic track. It’s straightforward and simply pure synthpop. It has been released on April 1st, 2022.

Lyrics:

Words can be so cool
When you’re playing by the rule
Talk is powerful
When it’s under your control
But just be aware
It might get you anywhere
When it’s in a fight
In the end no one is right

Language is a weapon 
Hits you strong and hard
Sometimes leaves you breathless 
Rips your heart apart
Language is a weapon
Use it when you can
Use it smart and wisely 
Make your masterplan 

Hey you, listen up 
You are welcome to the club
No more bitchy talk
Let’s bring light into the dark

(repeat chorus)

"Fade To Black" is a song about the fading of love in a long-term relationship. But it's also a positive song. Because an ending, no matter how painful and incomprehensible, is almost always a new beginning. Nothing happens without a reason. At the end of the day, it is what it is: one of many lessons that life teaches you.

Fade To Black

The song Flesh is from the EP Trilogy: Flesh Trash Heat, released on April 5 2024.

Trilogy was inspired by the underground film trilogy FLESH/TRASH/HEAT, produced by Andy Warhol in his famous Factory between 1968 and 1972. All three films were directed by Paul Morrissey and had Joe Dallesandro in the leading role.

Trilogy was conceived as an homage to Andy Warhol, to the Factory, to art and to the era around the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s, but also to the city of New York then and now. Over 50 years ago, it was a time of upheaval (isn't it always?), insecurity, sexual revolution, war, rebellion, experimentation with drugs, (then) new technologies and so much more. With all its beautiful but also dark sides. And actually, not so much different from today,
The songs on Trilogy are intended to work both in conjunction with the films and the era, but also completely independently of them.

Lyrics for 'online':

(verse 1)
When all your friends have left you
You feel alone and sad
Asking yourself the question 
If you are going mad
Age of communication
In thousand endless chats 
Ends always in frustration 
In one of all these apps

(chorus:)
Hopeless and empty
As empty can be
Online and helpless but free

(verse 2)
No need to be polite 
Or even tell the truth 
As long as you say it online
It doesn’t need a proof
Under the spell of smartphones
Computers and tablets
In times of wrong protection 
True hurtings and regrets

(repeat chorus)

(break:)
FACEBOOK, INSTA, TWITTER, SNAPCHAT, 
BITCOINS, TOKENS, ONLINE, WHATSAPP,
GRINDR, TUMBLR, UNKNOWN NUMBER

(repeat chorus)

Just say it online come do it with me
Online and helpless but free
Hopeless and empty
As empty can be
Do it with me and be free
