Weightless Again

Cheering, laughter out on the streets
Makes me remember of when this was me
Was there a time when I used to feel free?
Did I forget? When did it leave?
I will go on
It will be alright
There are times when I feel like Losing my mind,
And there are times when I wish I would
It´s a slippery line between chaos and order
Keeping the ground under my feet.
I will go on
It will be alright
I close my eyes, silence for a while,
To prepare for a world outside.
Drowning in thoughts, clearing my head,
longing to feel weightless/free again.

Tree I Planted

As years mark my face,
I see you grow up, try and fail, fail and learn.
Find your way into,
This fragile and ever changing world, changing world
If you could see through my eyes,
would you understand
My behavioral kind.
Freedom to be yourself shall be yours,
curious and still so carefree, you shall not loose.
Don´t wanna hold you you down.
don´t wanna let you loose
If you could feel what I do
Would all my trouble drown you?
Even when my world falls apart.
When all seems hopeless you´re my glimpse ahead.
All doubts appear null and void.
My reason to go on .
If you could see through my eyes,
would you understand
my behavioral kind.
If you could feel what I do,
would you be afraid of becoming just like me?

Situations where timing is crucial
Circumstances out of your hand
When it comes down to one turning point
Which move would you make?
Gather round your closest ones
Times they have changed, nothing as it was
Some things will last, some we can keep
It´s memories, relations we live on and survive from
Will you see clearly what's important to strive for?
With perspectives painfully narrowed down.
Who will be with you when you´ll need it the most?
Will you drown or will you reach out?
Gather round your closest ones
Times they have changed nothing as it was
Some things will last, some we can keep
It´s memories, relations we live on and survive from
Gather round your closest ones
Who will be with you when you´ll need it the most?
Time is slipping through your hands
All that matters no longer repressed
Gather round your closest ones
Times they have changed nothing as it was
Some things will last, some we can keep
It´s memories, relations we live on and survive from

We, Who Didn´t Know

A dream I had these days.
Where we felt weightless, again.
We were driving around and talking
about future plans.
Everything seemed clear to me.
And now that you´re in pain
we just pretend being the same person as before
Pretending being immortal and that nothing could harm us.
There's so much I´d like to say
But words are heavy as stones
This burden I carry with me
Being gone - feels like betrayal to you
And now that you´re in pain
we just pretend being the same person as before
Pretending being immortal and that nothing could harm us.
Some things are irrevocable
Nothing lasts and all comes to an end.
If we would have known what comes
Would we have lived in another way?
Try to hold on to what we´ve been through.
All that remains are the moments we share.

Hold on to what you have
You keep on running and it´s not hard to forget
That life is the most precious thing we possess.
Busy days, busy years
Keeping pace keeps away all your fears.
Nothing remains as it was-as it is.
Every day is a step closer
Act as if there´s all time you need.
But when fate strikes things suddenly fall apart
And you realise there was so much more - more to live for
Hold on to what you have
We keep on running and it´s not hard to forget
Years have passed and they are not coming back. Are not coming back
Moving on - on to gone
What If you’d stop, would you dare to slow down?
Would there be somebody to remember your face?.
Every day is a step closer
Act as if there´s all time you need.
But when fate strikes things suddenly fall apart
And you realise there was so much more - more to live for

Tage Wie Dieser
06:27

Die Weide am Fluss,
Wo ein Weg zu den Feldern führt.
Trost gibt ihr Schatten
Schützend ihre Arme um mich hält
Diesen Platz wollt ich teilen
Dir zeigen beim nächsten Mal
Ohnmächtig nun die Leere
an jenem Ort
An Tagen wie Dieser, die Erinnerungen so nah,
Bilder, die Zeugen der Vergänglichkeit.
Die Distanz ist unser Feind,
Stetig versuche zu ignorieren.
Die Zeit ist unser Richter,
Ihr Urteil ist zu akzeptieren.
An Tagen wie dieser, die Erinnerungen so nah,
Bilder, die Zeugen der Vergangenheit.
An Tagen wie dieser, ist die Einsamkeit groß,
Meine Sehnsucht, mein Verlangen nach Momenten die waren.
Unbeschwert und ohne Sorgen,
der Jugend kostbarstes Gut
zum Greifen nah die Zeit
als ich in mir das Kind noch sah.
Das Leben vor unseren Füßen,
Stetig am Abgrund stehend,
Einer muss zuerst den nächsten Schritt gehen.

If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back... Cleanandsoberstoner.com

To be honest, the vocals are a but hit or miss for me but the heavy blues on display here - the modern offspring of Double Trouble, Cream, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience - is truly excellent. Any fan of blues licks and rock ‘n roll will find a lot to love here.

Fun to the end... There's a Witch vibe on one song and The Stooges as well, on another and those influences say enough. Great listening. 🤘🤘

Reaching For The Light
by Demonio
supported by 95 fans who also own “Gratitude”
I've been a fan of Demonio since their first album, and this one is even better! The music has a lot more blues and psychedelic influence this time around, and it pays off big time. The guitar has a lot of distortion and reverb which makes the riffs feel like you are traveling through time and space. And the bass holds down a solid groove in the background to keep the music moving forward. This is some great fuzzy music and if you are into underground heavy psych, definitely pick this one up.
