Wir Haben Spass (Remastered)

New dark horror-themed track I've been working on for a while. 
Piano mixed with orchestral and epic synth/drum choruses.

Tormentor

There's more in life that we do not experience than that we do. 
But hey, you can't have it all.
Sometimes that's for the better.

[Rough English translation]
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL
In the past i didn’t want to miss anything
Was eager to join in all things fun
If I had to choose, I could not decide
I’d rather divided myself in two 

For football, parties, music and friends
a week was really too short
when she fell in love with another
it only really dawned on me

You can’t have it all

Now so many years have passed
I see many people with a cross to bear
Who are suffering or have severly suffered
people without a future, without a home

because of illness, distress, violence and loss
they’re broken, tired out 
for us, my love, I praise the day
for us, my love, I speak of happiness

You can’t have it all

Still, i want my life to be in the fast lane 
Sure, that’s how i’m gonna do it
but without risking life and limb
and with guaranteed pension

You can’t have it all

Like Father, like Son....Jörg and his Son Maxim both played the drums on this little tune! Maxim clearly inherited the clockwork like precision of his father and a superbly musical feel! Damn good and a hell of a cool cat to work with! Enjoy!

This, this is as good as it gets
Sat with a pen at a clear clean desk
This, this is as good as it gets
Sat with a pen at a clear clean desk

There’s a room
I’m in the centre
There is no clutter
There is no other
I will shake it out
lay every piece out
it’s all shown in the light
of the clean white page

This, this is as good as it gets
Sat with a pen at a clear clean desk
This, this is as good as it gets
Sat with a pen at a clear clean desk

Clear the room
clean it all out
I got something
I don’t know about yet
I will shake it out
lay every piece out
it's all shown in the light
of the clean white page


This, this is as good as it gets
Sat with a pen at a clear clean desk

She marked the day in her calendar
nothing else is gonna get to her

This, this a freehand,
This, this is the homeland

She marked the day in her calendar
Nothing else is gonna get to her

This, this is as good as it gets
Sat with a pen at a clear clean desk

Working from Home Lyrics

This one is loosely based on a friend.  He is handling the lockdown business in a very good stride.  Ok?  I think?

Another morning without my shoes
Nowhere else that I'd rather be
Plugged into my computer
Morning commuter never had it so easy

Virtual meeting in the morning
My castle got to be the perfect scene
No one will see the dirty laundry
For all they know this castle's always clean

Workin from home
Put on a coat and tie
I'm barefoot in my underwear
Seeing the screen with my naked eyes

Smile for the camera stiff upper lip and lift the chin
Show a positive expression all the way to the end
Pretending everything is normal here like this is how it's supposed to be
Safe and sound in my kitchen with my pop tarts and hot tea

Workin from home
Put on a coat and tie
I'm barefoot in my underwear
And I'm so happy I could cry

I don't need to gas up my car
Or go out for milk or bread
Groceries delivered right to my door
Working from home is going to my head
Another morning without my shoes
Nowhere else that I'd rather be
Plugged into my computer
Morning commuter never had it so easy

Oh yeah we're working from home
We're all alone so we're part of the team
From the miracle of wifi
Comes a new kind of American dream

Working from home.....

BIO: Yukke Roswenda Heckmann, better known as YUCCA ROSE, is an Indonesian Ethnic Jazz and World Music vocalist / lyricist and contemporary painter from Malang in East Java.

Over the last fifteen years, she performed with a wide variety of jazz bands / solo artists and recorded two albums with her Jakarta based orchestra “Major Seventh” (the self titled "Major Seventh" debut album and the second album named "Eastern Sunrise" - both published by DiscTarra Indonesia). 

She released her first solo album "Tree of Life" in March of 2013 and the second album "Radio Dalam Orchestra - Wir haven Spass" in 2016. All albums and two single releases feature some of the greatest Indonesian jazz performers and include collaborations with European Jazz and World Music artists.

She is produced by her husband, the German musician and audio engineer Peter Heckmann @peterheckmann and now divides her time between Indonesia and Germany.

As a highly regarded contemporary painter and designer, Yucca Rose still finds the time to paint - constantly adding to her extensive collection of artwork. Additionally, she creates larger scale wall murals, unique bamboo toys and wood sculptures and adds her colorful painting style to recycled wood boxes, wardrobes and tea-containers in her Rumah Kreatif workshop in Indonesia.
