Out of the blue

Take me somewhere nice I know
Maybe it's not too late to let it go
Leave it all behind and let’s go
Leave it all behind, my love
I wait in the fire
A burning desire
Out of the blue
You're looking for answers
I'm searching for truth
That's what I do
Take me somewhere nice
Leave it all behind
I wait in the fire
A burning desire
Out of the blue
You're looking for answers
I'm searching for truth
That's what I do
With the wind we blow
Where we just don’t know
With no fear we go
Right into the unknown
Down in the rabbit hole
Down in the rabbit hole
Take me somewhere nice I know
Maybe it's not too late to let it go
I wait in the fire
A burning desire
Out of the blue
You're looking for answers
I'm searching for truth
That's what I do
Let it go
Just let it go
Let it go

The space between
03:49

Is there a role?
Is there a goal in my life?
Is there a hole
Right between us?
Is there a role?
Is there a goal in my life?
Is there a ghost
Right between us?
Calls me by my name
Whispers in the night
Waits in the dark
Hiding from the light
Is there a role?
Is there a goal in my life?
Is there a ghost
Right between us?
Calls me by my name
Whispers in the night
Waits in the dark
Hiding from the light
And I know she’s lost
So far away from home
Then she lights a cigarette
She pulls her coat and blows
And she lets her voice out
though her lips are tight
“I can’t face your demons
I’m just here to tell you why“
Is there a role?
Is there a goal in my life?
Is there a hole
Right between us?
I know she got lost
Looking for her wolf
And I can’t face my demons
‘Cause they’re too close to the bone
Then her eyes get wet
She’s suddenly so small
She kindly tells me “please
Just have some faith and go
And go and go and go”
Is there a role?
Is there a goal in my life?
Is there a hole
Right between us?
Is there a role?
Is there a goal in my life?
Is there a ghost
Right between us?
Right between us?
Right between us?

Dusty pictures on the wall
Faded memories take control
I was here last December
We were there in June
I feel the same
We were like glue
Ignored the things I had to do
Took a train that cold November
And I don’t want to fail again
Dropping off the face of the earth
And fail again
In the woods a dog is howling at the moon
He’s lost his way
Barking up the wrong tree again and again
Dusty pictures on the wall
You and me inside the falls
I was here last September
Gone away too soon
I feel the same
so what about you?
I don’t have many things to do
I look outside and it’s November
And I don’t want to fail again
Dropping off the face of the earth
And fail again
In the woods a dog is howling at the moon
He’s lost his way
Barking up the wrong tree again and again
In the woods a dog is howling at the moon
He’s lost his way
Barking up the wrong tree again and again
And I don’t want to fail again
Dropping off the face of the earth
And fail again
In the woods a dog is howling at the moon
He’s lost his way
In the woods a dog is howling at the moon
He’s lost his way
In the woods a dog is howling at the moon
He’s lost his way
Barking up the wrong tree again
Barking up the wrong tree again
Barking up the wrong tree again and again.

Hurt you
04:24
|
|||
|
Hold the line
Wash away the stains of time
I don’t know which way to go
Hard to say
It’s all fucked up anyway
In many ways
In the quiet of the night
Moon shines so bright
In this corner of the world
We stand we fall
We stand we fall
We stand we fall
Every time we say goodbye
I know that I hurt you
Waiting for my time to come
I’m losing you too
I’m losing you too
I’m losing you too
And if you try to call me
I won’t pick up the phone
I wish I was a better man
let you do me good
If I would I could
If I would I could
‘Cause every time I see you
Can’t leave you alone
And every time we fall apart
My soul gets a scar
In the shape of a heart
In that shape
Every time we say goodbye
I know that I hurt you
Waiting for my time to come
I’m losing you too
I’m losing you too
I’m losing you too
And every time we stay together
I just hurt you
And I won’t find excuses
‘cause I know what I do
I know what I do
I know that I should let you go
And if you try to call me
I won’t pick up the phone
I wish I was a better man
let you do me good
If I would I could
If I would I could
‘Cause every time I see you
Can’t leave you alone
And every time we fall apart
My soul gets a scar
In the shape of a heart
In that shape
Hold the line
Wash away the stains of time
I don’t know which way to go

Sorry eyes
04:30
|
|||
|
Cold wind blows on this winter night
Dreams are hard to remember
You said my heart is unfair
Missing beats somewhere
Your eyes will kill me
and I can’t help myself in the end
They’re gonna kill me
and I don’t care
Cold wind blows through my aching bones
You told me life is unfair
Your sorry eyes
Misprinted lies
Lead me far away
They’re gonna kill me
and I can’t help myself in the end
They’re gonna kill me
and I don’t care
They’re gonna kill me
and I can’t help myself in the end
They’re gonna kill me
and I don’t care
They’re watching everything I do
Judging every move I make
Punishing my mistakes
There is nowhere, nowhere that is safe
They’re gonna kill me
and I can’t help myself in the end
They’re gonna kill me
and I don’t care
They’re gonna kill me
and I can’t help myself in the end
They’re gonna kill me
and I don’t care
They’re watching everything I do
They’re watching everything I do

Lullaby 5
02:30
|
|||
|
All on my own
Life is ordinary
Unnecessary
Help me get through
There’s no right or wrong
Try walking in my shoes
There’s a chance to be new
Now I’m watching over you
There’s a choice to be made
There’s a risk we have to take
All on my own
Life is ordinary
Unnecessary
Help me get through
There’s no right or wrong
Try walking in my shoes
There’s a change that must come
we might hear it in a song
could be you could be me
could be someone else’s dream
could be someone else’s dream
could be someone else’s dream
could be someone else’s dream

Is this the dawning of a new age?
Will the song remain the same?
Don’t wait for useless perfect moments
‘Cause they’re never they’re never gonna come
Good night my love
Stars shine bright above
Is this the life we really wanted?
Have you ever felt the same?
Good night my love
Stars shine bright above
Good night, dream on
May your fears be gone
In your eyes I recall
The missing pieces I’ve been searching for
Memories stay / People don’t
This lullaby is just for you
A blurred serenity is coming through
Is coming through
In your eyes I recall
The missing pieces I’ve been searching for
Memories stay/People don’t
Good night my love
Stars shine bright above
In your eyes I recall
The missing pieces I’ve been searching for
Memories stay / People don’t
This lullaby is just for you
A blurred serenity is coming through
Is coming through
In your eyes I recall
The missing pieces I’ve been searching for
Memories stay/People don’t
Memories stay/People don’t.

Old days
03:23
|
|||
|
So it’s not
The pain you feel
The way things go
And we’re not
Missing pieces of a jigsaw
So it’s not
The time we waste
The great unknown
We’re just actors in the same show
Old days
Once in a while
I’d like to be there by your side
Old days
They’re not worthwhile
We used to daydream all the time
We used to daydream all the time
So it’s not
To do cat’s cradle
When they drop the bomb
It does not
Make much difference from the outside
Old days
Once in a while
I’d like to be there by your side
Old days
and I crack a smile
We sure had the time of our life
We sure had the time of our life
I can’t forget
All we’ve been through
I feel so old
And I miss you
I’ve never been
So insecure
I feel so weak
There is no cure
Old days
Once in a while
I’d like that you were by my side
Old days
They’re not worthwhile
I use to daydream all the time
I use to daydream all the time
So it’s not
The time we chase
The great beyond
We just happened to be and be gone

In 1995
We were just wasting time
Spending nights far away
Getting lost everyday
Didn’t know what to say
I was just built to break
Summer days made me blue
I spent them all with you
Barefoot on broken glasses
In abandoned places
Didn’t know how to play
I was just built to break
Those days are gone
Forever gone
Do you still remember
Who you were and where you have been?
It was 1995
And we dove into life
Everything just made sense
Didn’t know it would end
Now I miss every day
I was just built to break
Do you still remember
Who you were and where you have been?
Comes a time
When you say
If there’s nothing to lose
There’s nothing to save
There comes a time
When you have to choose
Between turning the page
Or rewriting the book
Comes a time
When you say
If there’s nothing to lose
There’s nothing to gain
Comes a time
It was 1995
We were feeling so alive
Everything was brand new
I was happy with you
Didn’t know what to say
I was just built to break
I was just built to break

Wonder
03:44
|
|||
|
From time to time
I wonder why
I keep it all inside
and everything
I’ve ever longed for
is always out of sight
From time to time
I wonder why
we chase prepackaged lives
when everything
we’ve ever longed for
just shines upon our eyes
Is what you want
what you really need
I don’t think so
anything goes tonight
Is what we have
what we really need
I don’t think so
anything goes tonight
And maybe this is just a dream
or maybe you can feel what I feel
understand what I mean
and maybe everything we know
is only what we think is real
we pretend this is real
And it’s not time
to wonder why now
just leave it all behind
and everything
is filled with wonder
it happens sometimes
Is what we are
all that we can be
I don’t think so
have a little faith tonight
And maybe this is just a dream
or maybe you can feel what I feel
understand what I mean
and maybe everything we know
is only what we think is real
we pretend this is real
just forget this is real
just forget this

Jesters & kings
04:16
|
|||
|
For all the kings I’ve served
for all the pain thereafter
for all I should have said
for all I should have done
before the sun goes down
I’ll lose it all today
The silent shade of fall
is spreading on my walls now
to sever once again
this ghost that comes and goes
before the sun goes down
we all will learn to fall
Counting down the days
all those years in vain
I know that it won’t last
till the break of dawn
your reign’s gonna turn to dust
when I’m gone
when I’m gone
So nothing’s here to stay
So nothing really matters
So pale and so severe
So useless in your throne
before the sun goes down
you’ll lose it all today
Counting down the days
all those years in vain
I know that it won’t last
till the break of dawn
your reign’s gonna turn to dust
when I’m gone
Counting down the days
all those years in vain
I know that I won’t last
till the break of dawn
that I’m bound to fade
as your reign falls
as the rain falls
as the rain falls.

El matador alegre Verona, Italy
A painter meets a music producer/multi-instrumentalist.
They share ideas, they start writing
songs together.
They want to make music and lyrics blend like watercolors on paper.
They paint songs full of life, tinted with melancholy and memories.
