diese stille [this silence]

Well, I seem to have found a viable song format for late, late Saturday nights. It's a little shorter again - thank you everybody for your feedback last week - I think I like the short form for now, partly because it leaves you (hopefully) wanting more. This track brought to you by Kentucky Bourbon. Living in Ohio has to have something going for it. Other than that, there's just the music. Lute guitar plays basic jazz chords on the root of A, vocals, Ableton, Reaktor delay. Thanks for listening.

DIESE STILLE
diese stille schreckt mich nicht
und nein ich versteck mich nicht
lieber setz ich mich hin und
schreibe ein lied

worte über dich und mich
weiter komm ich heute nicht
was soll ich auch sagen wenn die stille schreit

lass mich nicht allein sagt sie
ich will bei dir sein sagt sie
sie ist nicht gerade clever aber sie
weiß was sie will

nur ein bisschen harmonie
ehrlich das passiert mir sonst nie
sagen wir es hätte ja
eh nichts geholfen
heut nacht
heut nacht
heut nacht

THIS SILENCE
this silence doesn't scare me
and no i am not hiding now
let me just sit down and
write a song

words concerning you and me
won't be any deeper than this
what is left to say anyway with the silence screaming

don't leave me it says
i want to be with you it says
it isn't very clever but it knows what it wants

just a little harmony
this has never happened to me
let's just say it wouldn't have helped anyway
tonight
tonight
tonight


You took me by surprise departing from the folk / minor / synthpop structure to go to this jazzed, tape delay swamped, bourbon drenched beautiful song. smile

Damn, I wish doing something with the guitar didn't take me soooo long

wow...

your mixing has gotten a lot better since I last listened...

Sehr nett! Love the (subdued) jazzy touches.

And I'm always in favor of german lyrics.

Did somebody say Bourbon?

This is lovely! Really nice tune and melodies smile

Beautiful stuff. German == win.

excellent mix, wonderful work on the reverb, gentle guitar, ... what a joy!!!
