<title>Ability to Break</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1281.html</link>
<description>Mhh I guess A Sad Song.... 
I wish i could sample some drums but I just don't know how :-( 
Intro doesn't really fit but i couldn't help that the song developed the way it finally did ;-) 

Will you ever recognize
how much you've hurt me
Will you ever recognize
the foolish words you told me
Will you ever recognize
what you've ment to me
I think you can't
because you arn't open for my

Ability to Break
the nights I couldn't slepp
the dark wishes inside me
the lonlyness I felt
the screaming of my Soul
the everlasting cold
I swear it's not a fake 
my Ability to Break

We won't get back to the stars
because from the day we part
my heart stopped beating
and I'm bleeding out of life
you are so blind
so you think I'll find 
somebody new
You never recognized my</description>

<title>Ancient Times</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1980.html</link>
<description>My first song after staying 6 weeks in south Africa. I developed it there but I wonder why fits so well when I see the snow falling because I played it the first time when it had 35° . 
The first time I used my old piano and the first time I tried a new recording technique. I recorded everything, piano, guitar, with my shure pg 48 but maybe I need another one for instrumentals...   
Maybe you could listen to it and tell me what you think. 
Thanks 

[i]How long has it been since your face changed through the mirror?
How many years have passed since you can’t look at yourself anymore?
When have your eyes turned blind for what you had become?

It’s the purest form of tragedy
It’s a story told by a fool

With every Step and star you take 
Your blue sky fades to black
And with every single word you say
The numbness of your heart increases

It’s the same old song since yesterday
It’s the same old road that leads to nowhere
It’s the same old thought that may destroy you again

So move on cause you’ll find somebody new
So move on cause you’ll find somebody new

<title>Claine</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1553.html</link>
<description>A song about these freaky Internet loves. 

I never met you so you can't say anything
I never met you so I won't regret a thing
I never met you but i remember your name
it's Claine my beautiful girl
such a perfect skin
you're so calmly you never said a word
claine a foreign mystery in your eyes
I feel your warmth every time I touch the screen

It's hard coz I don't have you here by my side
we never part so let imagination be our guide
and as long as love flows through my cables
I write my own fable</description>

<title>Flowers inThe Window</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1648.html</link>
<description>The same song. The same crap recording but I'm proud that I found someone who added professional drums.

Thank you PuppetXeno.  

I think it really brings the song forward - tell me what you think!

[b]Original Description was[/b]

No it's not a Travis Cover ;-)
Maybe it inspired me but i turned the image of the flowers upside down - it's just my kind of way being melancholic ;-)
I think they are my best lyrics so far.  Hope u like them

This my personal Present for all u guys out there. It's dedicated to the fantastic community of BandAmp.

I want to thank Hell-Mood for playing this fantastic Bass Line.  
Without him, this song wasn't half as good as it's now  (not very good of course but Ok i think) 

[i]The flowers in my Window they are dead
I just forgot them coz I have
some trouble in my head
No it's not that I'm sad
It's just my life and thoughts of what I had
so dear friend I tell you that
the Flowers in my Window they are dead

It may rain down the sun may shine
it doesn't matter anyway
I see my life through a Glass of Time
and everytime I look behind I see flowers passing by

The flowers in my Window they are dead
It's not your fault  so go ahead
find another one instead
it's ok I think I'm glad
 It's just my life and thoughts of what I had
so dear friend I tell you that
the Flowers in my Window they are dead

Repeat Refrain 2x
....
I see flowers passing by
I see flowers passing by
Time's passing by[/i]</description>

<title>Get over the Pain</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1475.html</link>
<description>A Song inspired by you guys her (esp. Puppet thx). 
I'll rerecord it because the recording quality sucks. Just had some ideas in my head and I wanted them to turn into music as fast as possible..  So I post it here because I want to know what you think about this kind of stuff.  
I would be really happy if someone could give some hints regarding modulating frequencies on single Tracks (Bass, Lead Guitar, Vocals...)  Thanx</description>

<title>Ire</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2467.html</link>
<description>I recorded this Song altogether in two days, I was very concentrated on this one... Maybe it's because of it's background. 
I think it's my best song so far. So please let me know what you think.... Most of it is instrumental. It's inspired by some really cool disco nights I had in the past few weeks...
and by a girl... it's not that I have a chance but it's something and hey isn't that anything. 


It's a blend of different music influences....  I call it a EBM-Rock-Ballad  :razz:

Lyrics 

[i]I inhumed my former ire
Garden Eden is closed that's for sure
The funeral occurred on fertile sand
Forget my nots will seam this land again
your existence is my cure
you have the power I desire
Lying in a blooming meadow
Adore - your - inherent - beauty - glow[/i]</description>

<title>Island</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2841.html</link>
<description>Island is the German name for Iceland... and Island in English has another meaning... but I think the title fits no matter how you twist it. 

[i]This is a place for an empty space
so wipe away the tears from your face
to save your wandering through the haze
This is a place for an empty space

I don't care what the others say
I won't fold my hands to pray 
you may cry when I'm far away
I don't care what the others say

On steaming ground is where you go
liquid soil down below
walking on air
under a burning sky
five friends 
for a life

It's in your soul the cry for hope
psychotropics in a snowstorm globe
where dragon and spirits spread their lopes
It's in your soul the cry for hope

Choosing you wasn't sane
but who am I to blame?
solitude is not a shame
Choosing you isn't sane

On steaming ground is where you go
liquid soil down below
walking on air
under a burning sky
five friends 
for a life[/i]</description>

<title>Just another...</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1227.html</link>
<description>So here's some new Stuff from me. Again it took me a lot of time to finish the song, at least over 3 months. And I still think it's not finished. I think there are some nice little passages in between and i tried your advices, so thanks to dave and you others out there it seems that the sound is a bit better.  
The Problem with this song was, that i just couldn't find fitting lyrics. I wrote some lines, or even a whole song but I didn't find a melody that sounds good. So I even thought of leaving it instrumental 
So don't mind the lyrics and the vocals are really crap so i took up the only issue where crap lyrics are welcome - Love ;-) Here it is - Just another boring Lovesong</description>

<title>Madness in yourBrain</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/817.html</link>
<description>Try to interpret john frusciante, maybe a bit of &quot;the doors&quot; feeling, hope you'll enjoy it. 

The title says it, maybe I'm a bit schizophrenic..

[b]Madness in your Brain[/b]

[i]The Walls around you are growing
you shiver from the coldness of your heart
your darkest thoughts are rising
the moon replaces the sun
the never ending winter night has come

it isn't easy to control (your Life)
where would you go to
if there's nobody around (survive)
the darkness that surrounds you
blinded your eyes (cry)
keep on running till
you running out of time (try)
you may seek but
you may not find (the path)
you're invisible
but you can't hide (so shine)

can you here them? they tell you what to do and if you do so - you'll never find silence. Don't try to speak with them coz' they won't hear you. They only hear their own words.
wrong words ugly words words of destruction

Repeat 1x

Repeat Chorus 1x
The Sadness in your Soul
and the Madness in your Brain
doesn't cause your pain (it does)[/i]</description>

<title>New Identity</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1420.html</link>
<description>It's a political songs so it's hard to call it sad, but it doesn't sound funny.. i think you're now used to my kind of music hehe.  
It's about things we can see in Iraq. Young man blew themselves up. The Question is why they do this... 
This is no offense to the Americans or to someone else it's just  my idea. I think people just misunderstand each other. So stand up for tolerance *thumbs up* 

[i]Some young man suffers from poverty
in his little sisters stomach sticks a bullet
a present from the army
and in his wallet 
a picture of his parents

They say they have been seen 
some days ago not far way from what
he used to call his home
and as he left the ruins of his home back
the only thing he owned was a little book inside his pocket

in his hands
the words seem
to make sense
he won't sleep 
till he gets
revenge
through his bloody hands

and in the sand a tear for what he used to be
memories of hopes and dreams vanish in the heat
under his jacket
his New Identity

they say he made his way from poverty to sanity
because he blew himself up this day
and as they borrow the peaces of the corpses 
the only thing they do is blaming little books

in his hands...[/i]</description>

<title>Sad Happiness</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2058.html</link>
<description>Just some guitars put together. Didn't know what to do this afternoon so I sat down and recorded this in 3 hours so most of it is improvisation. So Don't mind if you don't like it.</description>

<title>Sideways</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2218.html</link>
<description>Think this sounds very progressive... quite different from the other songs I uploaded... different music, different vocals, hope you like it a bit. 

[i]Over domestic plain
I'll walk till I fall
and I won't restrain 
the bitterness in my soul 

the heavy rain drops on your shoulder
reflects your skin in the moonlight

you're crying but you still go
Secret sideways still ahead

Believe you know 
the ground below your feet
be aware of the sorrows
around the corner down the path

the heavy rain drops on your shoulder
reflects your skin in the moonlight

you're crying but you still go
Secret sideways still ahead

Darkness may take
control of you
but don't dread the shadows
coz light illume the wood again

the heavy rain drops on your shoulder
reflects your skin in the moonlight

you're crying but you still go
Secret sideways still ahead

you're crying but you still go
Secret sideways still ahead[/i]</description>

<title>Silence</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2988.html</link>
<description>Ok here's my interpretation of Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode... I only took out a little part of the melody, but it's not exactly the same and the lyrics and the rest of the song are different... so I think it's not a cover - maybe not battle material but I think it's worth that you give it a look.

Lyrics are

Silence

the sky is rolling (are)
crimson clouds approach (you)
the wind left sand in the remains (are)
little flower on the wall closed its blossom (you)
as it knows the time has come (afraid)

and the world still rushes through outer space
turns around around to hide its ugly face
little raindrops fall silently on the ground
as the last human being takes a sip
with bitter acid taste
(violence - silence)</description>

<title>Slaves of our Minds</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/889.html</link>
<description>I'm not really lucky in handling relationships. This is song about a gone love, lonesomness, and time. 

I will post the lyrics later,  and it took me a few weeks to finish the song, so there arn't still no drumms - sorry hope you like it a bit anyway

All my tears fell down to the ground
and every flower died to hidden sound...</description>

<title>Someday</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1606.html</link>
<description>Seems that the snow animates me to create songs ;-) 
This is mainly a calm ballad. But feel free to listen to the end of the song :-)  Ah I'm tired right now so I won't post lyrics yet.. just this line 

I fear now what lay back but someday it will make sense.

Btw Can so. tell me how to use compressions?? There isn't any noise after mixing down - never reached peak during the recording... but when I listen to the mp3, it sounds crap again.</description>

<title>Station</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1953.html</link>
<description>This is a co-production of me and PuppetXeno.  
I just played the guitar and the synth and he added  the fantastic lyrics and drums.  I really think its a great song because of Puppets work. I hope you enjoy it.  


Station

so I've tried to live my nights in black
and my days in sleep-in dreams
but now it's cold along the metal trail
where the hours on hours drip by too slow

and the wind cuts through my coat
as the lights cut through the rain
as I ache with every sigh
blinding thoughts they only dwell to strain

I stepped up into the glass
it was a scent that drove me here
it was a kiss that put me back
and I could not persevere

and so I've lived my nights in black
I lived to all my failing might
and though the lights are closing now
I shall try to stay aside</description>

<title>Vanja Van Sky</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1713.html</link>
<description>It's about a Girl I get to know a few days ago. I talked a lot to her and she inspired me to write this song. 
It's dedicated to her.
She sent me something she has written and I converted it into music. I used a few phrases from her and the picture that living has something to do with being a vampire...  
The Name has a funny relation to the Netherlands I think...  
Thought about naming it &quot;Vampire&quot;. Have to think it over. 

Proud that Hell Mood played again this beautiful bass line. Thanks a lot. 
Maybe I'll get someone for drums again.... Let's see 
...and be aware. Vocals are dangerous :evil:


[i]Lyrics are. 

Vanja van Sky

Vanja van Sky looks in the mirror and asks herself
am I free? and what if I already lived my dreams? 
Vanja van Sky smokes the world and fades away
the glamour in her eyes when she understands

it is my life 
and I'll burning like a flame
'till cold fume absorbed 
the passion in my heart

I will dazzle 
I will shine
The gravity won't stop my wish to fly
I'll pine over
until the source of my blood thirst runs dry  [/i]</description>

<title>Willow Trees</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2242.html</link>
<description>Had a quite disturbing encounter a few days ago. Made me think, this is the result. 
It's acoustic and a very simple song. 
I know that you probably won't listen to it a second time, because I can't sing - but that's just what I feel. So it wouldn't be honest to let it sing another person. 

[i]Now I know that this is Goodbye
you knew it before I knew
this is the last day we spend together
in the sun that changed
into a twirling winter storm

you hold my hand 
you kissed my lips
now I know it's true
you said: 
&quot;you can save my life forever&quot;
now I know it's true
It's a lie 
It's a lie
now I know it's true
It's a lie 
It's a lie
everything about you

Now I feel the coldness on my skin
willow trees aren't evergreen
like every summer has its end
say goodbye to your Never Never Land

you hold my hand
you kissed my lips
now I know it's true
you said: 
&quot;you can save my life forever&quot; 
now I know it's true
It's a lie
It's a lie
now I know it's true
It's a lie
It's a lie
everything about you[/i]</description>

<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2588.html</link>
<description>First I would like to thank you all for reviewing and voting my songs - I always try to give it back...

This is another project with Puppet (Lyrics, Vocals, Drums). 
So enjoy another part of the Dark Opera ;-) 

LYRICS:

[i]to seek...
what it is like
to seek...
what it feels like...

so precious...
so couragious...

I wish I could say what this moment feels like when I saw you today doing alright

I'm awake now
feeling safe now
watching space between shadows
like the girl with the red rose
in her hair, she is dancing
to the rhythm of answering...

alive and awake
in a dream
I always knew
it always came clean
before the end of all things good
let's kiss away the aches forgood

- old thoughts of fear . . . don't make a sound
- up and down that spiral . . . twice around
- wash out the skin from . . . the venom spewed
- to twist the insides out . . . it's nothing new

so precious...
so couragious...
to seek what it's like...
to seek what it feels like... with you

... wish I knew[/i]</description>
