I have been praying
we can walk through your gate
threw my nerves away
not accepting our fate
unable containing my emotions I isolate
I'm on my swing now
flying high, blues it will rain, flying high
Falling through the cracks in the web
sentenced to call in
buckle up a bumpy ride
pennies in my tin
unable playing yeah, due to lockdown bans
I'm on my swing now
flying high, blues it will rain, flying high
unwanted, undaunted out there
Patiently waiting
years gone by, it’s getting late
we are back on stage now
acting in good faith
Steam radios steaming
come on - let’s integrate
I’m on my swing now …

It´s Ok to Dive
03:31
|

|
A fine thin line between life and death
That’s what they say, Man, I got afraid
I wanna survive, I take a deep breath
my vision, I’m gonna stay
The final cut for no-one to see
With your eyes shut but glued to the screen
In your world, what a way to go
All or nothing, will we ever know
It felt like years I’ve had to wait
I wait a little longer for your embrace
Will we ever feel the same way
or am I taking up your space
A long, long way down to the sea
we dance and play our mountains in between
A fine thin line between love and hate
stay away from name, shame and blame
or am I taking up your space
White or black, we’re all the same
Unite and fight, like killer whales
I want to dive, love and respect
to live in peace that is my aim

Differences
02:41
|
|||
|
On my journey from darkness
on my journey into light
on my journey I make poems
and sometimes get it right
There’s a difference what we see
there’s a difference what we hear
makes a difference what we say
and the difference we got to pay
On my journey through continents
on my journey across seas
on my journey I make poems
and sometimes I feel free
There’s a difference what we see
there’s a difference what we hear
makes a difference what we say
and the difference we got to pay
We are different
we all can be friends
we all can be friends
though we are different

Vagabond

|
Way too old
much too young
between now and midnight
between now and midnight
between now and midnight
you better watch it
take it step by step
and the gravity keeps me from floating around
but the show must go on
My big chance
I check the web
I’m way too loud
I’m way too loud
and I ain’t blonde
Huhu vagabond - true, true vagabond
Travel to England or Spain
Travel to England or Spain
Huhu vagabond - true, true vagabond
Still up front
Jah save my soul
Still up front
Jah save my soul
Huhu vagabond - true, true vagabond

The colour grey turns into green
I’m feeling a warm breeze on my soft skin
winds are changing I see light
I see light
let us breathe
Rusty brown turns into red
I’m standing with both feet on hot sand
sun’s burning down, my heart’s on fire
my heart’s on fire
let us breathe
Made of many colours
bringing sweet joy
to our colourful globe
all the colours I love live up on the rainbow
we will nurture your childlike soul
with our hearts made of gold
Misty mornings, skies are blue
the world’s sparkling, for me and you
building castles, ocean’s wide
purple ocean’s wide
let us breathe
Orange, pink, and yellow too
I’m much wiser feeling mellow in my shoes
with you around I feel free
wild and free
let us breathe
Made of many colours …

The Ol´goddamn Blues
04:29
|
|||
|
Came into the game like caramel
so sweet in the middle
does it ring a bell
I’m a woman out of time
I’ve had the sweetest hip-hop child
tears, love and roses wilt
no use in cryin’ over spilled milk
Pour one down
I can’t refuse
it sets in again the ol’ goddamn blues
my throat got dry
loneliness sets in
pour me another drink my friend
whiskey - gin
The thrill is gone said John Coltrane
been riding for years
on the fastest trains
I’m a man, I ain’t got time
I love you hun’, your sweet sweet smile
years been carrying guilt
no use in cryin’ over spilt milk
Pour one down …

Up We Go
03:24
|
|||
|
We can call it a brand new day
leave my worries behind
what is done is done
and you are being kind
Up we go
we take it step by step
Up and up and up we go, up we go
Inside of me slumbers a good soul
inside of me slumbers a good soul
I am happy
Baby, show me your brightest smile
have I been blind
we can stay for a while
you being kind
Up we go
we take it step by step
Up and up and up we go, up we go
Inside of me slumbers a good soul
inside of me slumbers a good soul
I am happy

Saw an old pic of mine
under my favourite tree
sadness, joy
days are short, nights are long
they drag on, on and on, and I move on
So much beauty out there
I walk it alone
Words sting, they ain't no use
Days are short, nights are long
they drag on, on and on, and I move on
I always turn to you … yes, I do
Music makes the world go round
grateful for your songs
Friends, friendship counts
Days are short, nights are long
they drag on, on and on, and I move on
So much beauty out there
You can come along
rising up every time I fall
Days are short, nights are long
they drag on, on and on, and I move on
I always turn to you … yes, I do

Universe
04:52
|
|||
|
To be soft it feels good
to stay strong through my pain
The universe for U and ME
Most importantly love
is what we need
we can give and we shall receive
The universe for U and ME
Our universe
The way you touch the people
that are around you
I am ready now
it will ground you
The way you touch the people around you
Most importantly love

The Steam Radios Fieberbrunn, Austria
HANDMADE TUNES
Eclectic, genre-bending Alternative-Folk & Americana style songs with a Dylanesque
feel.
Earthy with a tinge of sadness touched vocals, subtle lyrics, silvery harmonies, a solid workhorse rhythm section and the fingerstyle and open tuning slide-guitars are creating the crisp ripping sound.
