1.	Far Away Vision 05:56	lyrics	buy track
things start closing in I'm staring onto a screen more and more and more I'm stranded on a virtual shore things start closing in I'm still trying to catch my dream more and more and more I'm stranded on a virtual shore and when I finally go blank I say: Gott sei dank! and I suddenly realize it is actually quite nice seeing things thru my far away eyes I can see the horizon with my far away eyes on I see the new sun rising I can see the seasons and I need no reasons I feel high, when I see the sky thru my far away eyes I need to look into the distance to stay in balance to experience the essence now when things start closing in I go outside walk down the bohreen more and more and more I catch my dreams on a real shore more and more and more I feel so much more self assured! Never shut up - never close down
2.	Fall In Love 05:52	lyrics	buy track
I love fall I love to fall in love I see colors everywhere and that's not all I breath the sweet air love is all around it's everywhere - everywhere I also love spring giving birth to everything a new song to sing along I love all the seasons I need no reasons life is free to do what it pleases
3.	Universal Energy 05:43	lyrics	buy track
colors, lines and shapes and spirals colors, lines and shapes and spirals universal energy omniversal geometry it is kind - it blows your mind it sets me free - and it is free colors, lines and shapes and spirals universal energy it blows our mind blows our mind for free universal energy
4.	High Cue Haiku #3 05:13	lyrics	buy track
a new song is like butterfly just one time it flutters by and then it is gone a haiku passionate and true is the love letter I left in her shoe haiku number 2 is also true, but blue she didn't wear that shoe haiku number 3 yippie - she saw me finally waving from the top of a tree
5.	Stones 01:54	lyrics	buy track
I was sitting by the stones the bones of the earth the stones started to talk they told me the story of my birth and many ancient stories I needed to know so finally I was able grow and hear the call and make sense of it all I'm a link in a chain and nothing had been in vain but the chain twists around and tangles up at times a picture of confusing lines which lead back to the beginning it's an unbroken chain and I'm holding on to it now as I'm sitting by the stones the bones of the earth staring into timeless space forgetting... and vaguely remembering that I have been here before (whispering) in another life

about

Over the years I have recorded a range of quite diverse music either on my own or together with other musicians. At the moment I concentrate on my "guitar poems" (original contemporary songs, poetic food for thought). ... more
