Apologies.

I must apologize with all my fans and friends for having
been so far, cold and crazy lately. I've been through one of
the worst periods of my life. I finally understood that my
life is actually what I made of it and that I can't change
it as much as i wish.

It's time for me to stay in my cold and far dwarf planet,
taking a look at things from a distance, without being
personally involved.
Just writing and creating as I always did.

I'm a kind of dreamer and my destiny is to dream and make
others dream with my works.

I can't be real. I'm just a voice from your loudspeakers,
some colored pixels on your computer screens.
But I couldn't have been real without you.

Useful thoughts for making good bad dreams

Feeling out of focus like a broken mirror
on the wrong path since the day i was born
looking from the bottom of the ocean at the top of a mountain
speaking all the languages of the world, writing on the sand
too many connections to handle
too many decisions to take
better to take no decision at all ?
let time and God do what they want because i am not free to
choose
so just lay down and look at things passing by
just being glad of being alive
though feeling lonely, far and cold yet being glad of a
useless breathing
opening up eyes day after day 'till there will be no days
left, no eyes to open
just a wasted opportunity to understand what i was looking for
neglected feelings all on the way
being on the verge of my second half of life brings a sense
of urge, a sense of drama, of conclusions to make, they'll
make themselves anyway
making a sense making a sense out of the nothing
is there any sense in making a sense ?
quantum leaps are everywhere
indeed should i care ?
is suffering the only meaning we're able to choose amongst
roses and stones ?
rolling down the mountain
driving with no brakes
dreaming of a life, living in a dream
wonder who will remain ? which of me will stay ? does it
mean much ? does it make any sense ?
when i was young i had a belief, my relief : the whole
universe was completely crazy at my eyes
it reassured me, everything was clear
why am i trying to make sense out of the mandala ?
i'm in too deep, i'm in too deep
to look at the picture
i'm lost in details
all that is above is like all that is below
what goes down will not come up
termical death
a broken mirror
a sense of death
all around
awaited
like a friend in the night
a dream inside a nightmare
illusion in reality
a stillness in light
just a little fraction of E.M. waves
our sight is our knowledge
our knowlegde is blindness
hurting is our religion
the power and the glory
and everybody's lonely hanging on to somebody else's shoulder
fighting to keep the fire alive
even pain is better than nothing when you got nothing else
in your hands
a slamming door, steps on the stairs, wooden noises
shhhh.....be quiet.....make up your mind.....
kiss madness goodbye.

Merciful death

Merciful death
by Hager.

You're there signing papers,you signed them
i can't think,but if i could
i stray away ,my mind does so for me
i lean on my shoulder in the corner
but i'm supposed to be a strong-hearted person
and pull it out when it's time to say stop!
and in my head there's no time,time's limitless
why shouldn't you be?i could.
i could make you timeless
i won't pull anything and leave you there alive

is this a situation where i'm tested in
how does god do it?
how does he have the heart to take your living secret
inside you
and make us bury you six-feet under?
how?
evrybody's looking at me and eyes say'...'
what are they saying?i'm not even concentrating,not even
looking,not even remembering
that i looked in their direction...
i'm slightly shaking my head
you couldn't see me could you?

what am i supposed to do?
i shake my head again;i can't become heartless
but my hand has another programming
stretching out to the device,wanting to turn it off
i'm motionless,paralyzed,yet my head's working.
if i were more sensitive i would have been crying
and the devices and place wouldn't be clear to me
there'll be time for that,when time comes
it's timeless now,do you know that?

honestly:who's the one suffering?the patient
or the attenders(family,friends,etc)?
neither would the patient want to die
nor would we want them to die
so why kill them?
life's sacred and beautiful... why leave it forcefully?
unless it's God's wish to.we could argue
but not stop Him from forcing us to depart

i touch the device and the plug
i pat them and look down.
one turn to you,a deep breath
a look into emptiness
.......
and then i'm gone.
.....
you'll rest in peace,
whether in bed or in your coffin
definitely i know
definitely i know
definitely i know.

Food for your eyes

I'm actually collecting audio and video material for my next cd, have been playing a while with the cam and some free programs to edit video-clips just to see what I could do.

I post this link for anybody who wants to see me performing one the songs from my last cd LOVE!
The song is called "New words".
Here is the original mp3 song and here the song videoclip in .wmv format, you can watch it with a normal Windows Media Player and even download it if you haven't got anything better to do...
Enjoy it.

Happy Birthday Mr. Hofmann !!!

Today Albert Hofmann celebrates 100 years of his living on
planet earth. His research represents one of the few doors
to knowledge scattered on mankind's path. Although often
misunderstood and misused his work will continue to inspire
those who seek.
Happy Birthday and thank you Mr. Hofmann !!!

Nightmares and dreams and what's in between

2 spiders

My hands are like two big spiders on the piano keyboard,
it seems they know which way to move,
on their own,
bringing out of me inner things I can't express,
creating the web of my soul.

New CD

I'm a man of few words, I like to speak only if I can say
something meaningful and new. I don't believe in words too
much, that's why I'm a songwriter and not a novelist I
suppose. On the other hand this is a blog, so I should keep
my fans informed about my music and new songs without being
too boring or meaningless. All of my songs are grown up with
time, waiting for inspiration, for pieces to go together,
for emotions and thougths to have a meaning, a life on their
own. I've had a lot of emotions lately. They're giving birth
to my new project. I'm working on the cover now. It's born
from a vision. I don't take drugs or alchool but sometimes,
when my brain is in "creative mode", my eyes fill up with
sudden images. I saw a reptile's eye. Looking as if he was
staring at his prey. Very cold and very mean. Like this :

I think it represents the deepest inner human nature. The
basic survival instinct that is maybe the only
charateristic all mankind has in common. This is a just a
sketch of the CD cover. If you have a reptile's eye
picture, with a more mean and bad look than this one, just
email it to me, you could own the art-credits of the CD cover.

It will be called "Nightmares & Dreams". Why ? Like the yin
and yang, positive and negative, 0 and 1, male and female. I
wonder if being a libra zodiacal sign has something to do
with my attitude to see things from both sides. I find that
life is mostly made of choices. And most likely the main
choice is between two sides. Life is living between the
choices we make everyday. The dreams that we have and the
nightmares that hunt us when we feel alone. And what starts
like a dream might turn into a nightmare ...
