After a very, very long time...I finally had the time and the courage to record something again.

It's "Ich bin ich" by Rosenstolz: Link Removed

Do I still belong here or -
Am I long since out the door?
Time has taken the next plane
Tried chasing time in vain
Was born just yesterday
But can walk since around midday
Have lost my sense of balance
Yet can still stand on my own

I am filled with so much rage
Last night I couldn’t sleep
It was good that you were free¹
But now please don’t question me
‘Cause I’d only feel regret
If I’d bend to placate you ²
Without doubt, wasn’t always true
But I never cheated on you

That is me, that is me,
That’s all I’m guilty of,
That is me, that is me,
That is me, that’s all I’m guilty of ³

I am now, I am here
I am me, that’s all I’m guilty of
I am now, I am here
I am me, that’s all I’m guilty of

Don’t need to find myself today
But can’t lose myself in dismay
Was only born yesterday
But can walk since around midday
Have lost my comfort zone ⁴
Yet can still stand on my own

I am now, I am here
I am me, that’s all I’m guilty of
I am now, I am here
I am me, that’s all I’m guilty of

We are now, we are here
We are us, that’s all we’re guilty of
We are now, we are here
We are us, that’s all we’re guilty of

Do I still belong here or?

I kind of have a run today...really enjoy singing this time. :whistling::D

This time it's "Maria" by Saltatio Mortis - dealing with a very difficult matter, which is discussed a lot currently and moves me a lot.

Dear Mary journeys through the thorn
kyrie eleison!
Holding tightly a child to her chest
she conceived against her's will,
Desperate Mary.
Desperate Mary!
Dear Mary journeys through the thorn,
kyrie eleison!
Dear Mary hungs inside the thorn
kyrie eleison!

What did she suffer through all this
kyrie eleison!
All the hesitation and quail
hunted by fearful queries
anxious Mary!
Anxious Mary!
Dear Mary journeys through the thorn,
kyrie eleison!
Dear Mary hungs inside the thorn
kyrie eleison!

She was prepared for abortion
kyrie eleison!
but would she have desecrated
Christianities commandment.
Devoted Mary.
Devoted Mary!
She's hung herself with a rope
kyrie eleison!
Sad and broken are her eyes
getting mother was not her luck.
Sleep safe, Mary.

Dear Mary journeys through the thorn,
kyrie eleison!
Dear Mary hungs inside the thorn
kyrie eleison!

...I translated this myself. It's not that I'm pro abortion but I don't think that this is a matter for higher ups to decide - independent from region, religion etc...

....and another song by Saltatio Mortis, "Mauern aus Angst" (Walls of Fear)

I can hear your silent breathing
I feel your skin's warmth
Even if I just begin to get to know you
You're well acquainted with me
Shyle, I reach out for your hand
You turn around to me
Put your head in my arm
but I'm not here with you

Behind walls of fear
a fortress of anger
I lock myself in
Hide myself well
I faced you
Therefore, I'm in gaol
behind walls of fear
alone with me

I lay awake, turn around in circles
every sense looking for a sense
questions continue never ending
why I'm restless
thoughts are thinking faster and faster
the mind doesn't understand
the feeling only feels darkness
and my hearts longs for light

Behind walls of fear
a fortress of anger
I lock myself in
Hide myself well
I faced you
Therefore, I'm in gaol
behind walls of fear
alone with me

We're not seperated by worlds,
by war or religion
we're seperated by old scars
made of fear and frustration
whatever you've experienced before
what fear you've conquered
we're seperated by the strongest walls
the walls of our fear

Behind walls of fear
a fortress of anger
I lock myself in
Hide myself well
I faced you
Therefore, I'm in gaol
behind walls of fear
alone with me

These walls of fear
I tear them down
remove them
shatter them to pieces
no walls of fear take away my courage
the fear is conquered, the end will be fine
and the end will be fine

Everything will be fine.

OMgoodness going through the songs one by one and I can not believe the talent! How can all three of you work together?


Wonderful, simply wonderful all of you!!! (((((hugs and loud applause)))


PS@Anrish thank you for the lyrics in English....:notworthy:

 

[Anrish]

@Recovery4Me : Glad that you like it. ...and you're welcome. :hug: I hope I didn't make too many mistakes in the translations because there were some German phrases, which were hard to translate. :inpain:

 

[Recovery4Me]

@Anrish ...lol...like I would know :roflmao:. All I do know is I am totally enamored.

 

[Kintsugi]

"Missed Me" by the Dresden Dolls. Some of the sound effects (ripping paper) are from them. Others are me tapping my fingers or swigging off a beer and putting it down loudly. Breathing is pretty obviously me.

(((hugs))) @Simply Simon love your voice, the piano + effects are so rad. You really can pull off the sultry and brooding sound. I can envision so many dance moves with that beat and a bar stool. It reminds me of some of the styled music from Rocky Horror Picture Show (but that's just me). So thanks for the fun entertainment!

 

[Kintsugi]

I haven't heard this in forever. This is my one and only take. You can hear me feeling through the next verses on a lot of them. This is for my birthday.

I remember the year I heard this album for the first time so crisply. I was eleven or twelve. It was summer. We (my brother [abuser] and I, as well as our mother) listened to it every week, every Wednesday evening, on the way home from the beach, where we went for our home schooling group. I remember hanging my bare feet out the window, covered in sand, and feeling just so at home in my own pessimism. Not a whole lot has changed in 14-15 years, huh?

 

[Anrish]

@Simply Simon : The first song wasn't my favourite - you did great but the song wasn't completely my taste. ;)

The second one was great - I really love your voice. :happy: ...and happy birthday! :laugh::hug:
