Ode To Nature

"This is an ode to nature
To the mountains - and the valleys – far below
To coastlines, wide deserts, bright forests
Feel - the spirit - within
Such a beauty, such magic,
Nothing manmade can be
Compared to nature
Mankind - is just so small
This is an ode to nature
To the mountains - and the valleys – far below
To coastlines, wide deserts, bright forests
Feel - the spirit - within
Whenever you are feeling bad,
When your heart is heavy and you are so sad
Go out into the beautiful nature
It will lift your spirit - heal your soul
Experience the power and force of nature
Enjoy it’s beauty and complexity
This is an ode to nature
To the mountains - and the valleys – far below
To coastlines, wide deserts, bright forests
Feel the spirit within"

Idiocracy
04:12
|

"They want to make you believe
That there is a powerful elite
They are sure the earth is flat
Against 5G
They wear a TINFOIL HAT
They say a New World Order is at hand
We are puppets on a string of the establishment
Scientific facts are denied
Society forced to divide"

Smalltown Girl
04:05

"This is a story of a small-town-girl
This is a story about coming of age
A story about music
And how it can shape one’s life
The small-town-girl was taught
to be like all the other small-town-girls
But she always felt she was different
And couldn’t really understand
And then – she explored a certain music and people
So odd and so different like herself
For the first time in her life
She really could understand!
And could accept to be different
Always with her special music at hand
The small-town-girl left the small town
And explored the big wide world
Again, she felt so different from the rest
she couldn’t really understand
But then – she explored everywhere music and people
So odd and so different like herself
Again in her life
She really could understand!
And could accept to be different
Always with her special music at hand
For the rest of her life - She will always understand!
She has accepted to be different -
Forever with her special music at hand"

"Freeze! Shoot to kill or die
Today he has no means, he's alone and anonymous
But written in his cells he has got the marks of the
Genius
I'm looking for this man to sell him to other men
To sell him to other men at ten times the price at least
I'm looking for this man who knows the rules of the game
Who's able to forget them to realize my aim
I'm looking for this man to make us rich and famous
One - You lock the target
Two - You bait the line
Three - You slowly spread the net
And four - You catch the man
You catch the man
You catch the man
I'm looking for this man to sell him to other men
To sell him to other men at ten times the price at least
I'm looking for this man who knows the rules of the game
Who's able to forget them to realize my aim
Lock the target
Bait the line
Spread the net
Catch the man
Freeze! Shoot to kill or die
Lock the target
Bait the line
Spread the net
Catch the man
Lock the target
Bait the line
Spread the net
Catch the man
Lock the target
Bait the line
Spread the net
Catch the man
I'm looking for this man
I'm looking for this man
To sell him to other men
To sell him to other men at ten times the price at least
Lock the target
Bait the line
Spread the net
Catch the man
Lock the target
Bait the line
Spread the net
Catch the man...
To sell him to other men"

Nostalgia
04:00
|

"The smell and taste of your favourite dish your grandma cooked
A long forgotten song of your early childhood
Your first day at school
Your first kiss – your first love – the pain - caused by your first love sickness
Your life is built-up on memories of the past
It sums up the older you get
You forgot about their existence
Until they suddenly appear
Caused by a tune on the radio or an old picture
Your personality of today
Is a result of all you went through in life
The good things and the bad
Mistakes and success
You hear the jingle of an old commercial
And you still remember the words
You find an old picture of your first own appartement
And know exactly how you felt in these times
Little mosaic-pieces of places you have seen long ago
Your personality of today
Is a result of all you went through in life
The good things and the bad
Mistakes and success
Your first time in the ocean
Your first time on a plane
Your friends and teachers from highschool
Your pets and things you liked to play with
The books, films and music which shaped you
Everything that made - who you are today
Your personality of today
Is a result of all you went through in life
The good things and the bad
Mistakes and success"

Thanks a lot to Carsten Waesch for performing the original client from Berlin!
"Ey Alter – wo komms’ du denn her – du biss‘ wohl n Touri
Keine Sau versteht dich hier!
Das is‘ Berlin – hier spricht man Inglisch!
Kannste nich? Dann lern‘ das mal schnell – hier spricht - JEDER Inglisch!
Ich bin schon ein Jahr hier – Hier ist meine Hood!
Ich kenne alle wichtigen Leute!
Ich kann dir sagen, was wo geht.
Voll Insider halt – weißte Bescheid!
Das ist Berlin – hier spricht man Inglisch!
Sprich Inglisch, sonst bist du echt voll uncool!
Dein komischer Dialekt geht echt gar nicht! – Kommst du aus Sachsen oder was?
Du hast auf jeden Fall keinen Plan. KEINEN PLAN!
Ok, ich komme eigentlich ausm Ruhrpott, meine Freunde aus Baden-Württemberg
Wir reden nur Inglisch – sonst würde ich die gar nicht verstehen!
Richtig Inglisch kann ich auch nicht - aber die auch nicht.
Fällt eh keinem auf – aber es hört sich cool an – muss sein
Hauptstadt, Alter!
Also merk‘ dir – weil ich Mitleid mit dir habe – wie gesagt – Insider Tip und so…
Das ist Berlin – hier spricht man Inglisch!
Wichtig ist auch, auf Insta und so
Nur noch Inglisch zu posten
Dann wissen deine Leute in der Provinz,
dass du fucking in der Hauptstadt lebst. Weißte Bescheid!"

"Avec la mer du Nord pour dernier terrain vague
Et des vagues de dunes pour arrêter les vagues
Et de vagues rochers que les marées dépassent
Et qui ont à jamais le cœur à marée basse
Avec infiniment de brumes à venir
Avec le vent de l‘est écoutez-le tenir
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec des cathédrales pour uniques montagnes
Et de noirs clochers comme mâts de cocagne
Où des diables en pierre décrochent les nuages
Avec le fil des jours pour unique voyage
Et des chemins de pluie pour unique bonsoir
Avec le vent d‘ouest écoutez-le vouloir
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec un ciel si bas qu‘un canal s‘est perdu
Avec un ciel si bas qu‘il fait l‘humilité
Avec un ciel si gris qu‘un canal s‘est pendu
Avec un ciel si gris qu‘il faut lui pardonner
Avec le vent du nord qui vient s‘écarteler
Avec le vent du nord écoutez le craquer
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec de l‘Italie qui descendrait l‘Escaut
Avec Frida la Blonde quand elle devient Margot
Quand les fils de novembre nous reviennent en mai
Quand la plaine est fumante et tremble sous juillet
Quand le vent est au rire quand le vent est au blé
Quand le vent est au sud écoutez le chanter
Le plat pays qui est le mien."

Apocalypse Now
04:15
|

"The United States aren’t united anymore - actually they have never been
It has been the Land of the Free – in case you were white I agree
It has been the Home of the Brave – bravery built up on slavery
In the absence of a humane government,
America is now ruled by plague.
They have crashed right through
a failed state into a plague state.
This has been predicted. Now it has come to pass.

The One
04:11
|

"Since you were young, you have been dreaming of THE ONE
Your perfect lover, your perfect partner to share your whole life with.
You knew exactly how the person should look like – THE ONE
How the person should be – THE ONE
Since then you have been on the hunt for THE ONE - THE ONE of your dreams
But you never found THE ONE
Love doesn’t come easy
No matter how hard you try
Sometimes you don’t even find out
That it has been already there
You just didn’t realize
That all you were longing for was so close
But you keep searching and searching
Morning after morning you wake up alone
You have been used to this for many years
Only because you are just focusing on THE ONE
Break up - the mould of THE ONE
Allow adjustments and listen to your heart
Love doesn’t come easy…
It is surely around
Just break up the mould
