"So Hello"
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
You might ask what's going on there?
There on the stage with the guy with blond hair
You might ask, "What the hell does he do?
His guitar howls like a wolf in the zoo."
You might ask, "Does he wanna be cool?"
"The overdrive is a much too loud tool!"
You might ask, "Is this all out of tune?"
"Just like a dog howling straight to the moon."
But I've got something you should know
I sing it loud, I sing it low
Yes, I've got something you should know
So hello! Welcome to the show!
I'm gonna sing about everything
Some songs are loud and some comforting
Some might be sad, but we'll try not to cry
We're here for fun, so let your hearts fly
And I've got something you should know
I sing it loud, I sing it low
Yes, I've got something you should know
So hello! Welcome to the show!

Time
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Time stands still beside black holes
Could this prevent bad things from growing?
I'd give everything I own
to bring a black hole to your home
Some say this can't be done but others do believe
As long as you are here I won't give up and grief
Don't think you're running out of time
Don't think you're running out of time
While the universe expands
we are still here and we are friends
Once when we were young we rode
our bicycles downhill steep roads
If we drove faster now at the speed of light
dilatation of our time would bring some hope in sight
So we would get some extra time
So we would get some extra time
I could imagine well a world without myself
But I can't stand the pain to lose another friend
I could imagine well a world without myself
But I can't stand the pain to lose another friend
You are my friend
Time stands still beside black holes
Could this prevent bad things from growing?
I'd give everything I own
to bring a black hole to your home
Some say this can't be done but others do believe
As long as you are here I won't give up and grief
Don't think you're running out of time
Don't think you're running out of time
You are a friend of mine
until the end of time

New Age
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
The snow is falling silently
The roof outside is almost white
The radio's talking 'bout the fab four
The rooftop concert was their last
All things must end
All things must pass
I think about that strange last year
A new guitar and nine new songs
Grandfather died, father was lucky
The secretary had no chance
All things must end
All things must pass
Forty years ago
They played "Don't let me Down"
And "All I want is You"
"I've got a feeling" inside
That something soon will change
And slowly I realize the new age
The music's over for the news
A thousand more will loose their jobs
Because the stocks keep falling down
The holy country 's burning still
All things must end
All things must pass
And forty years ago…
But I will not complain
I'll take it as it comes
I'll try that I remain to love
But if I had the choice
To keep a single thing
I'd keep the one between the two of us
I think 'bout you and me
I think 'bout you and me

Break The Wall
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Some say what the others shall do
They don't doubt that they could be wrong
No wisdom but power they've got
Unconcerned they believe to be strong
They are sure their rules are the truth
Just to money and stocks they obey
To think of a different world
's far beyond their material way
But there are quite a lot
Who think in different ways
They give us hope at all
In all those harder days
Oh, we all are free
To think our thoughts alone
There is so much love outside for all
Oh, we all can see
When unfair things are done
We can stand up, we can break the wall
Some put economical aims
High above humanity needs
They hire and fire for gold
Burning harvests for high prices indeed
Some say what the others shall do
But all the others are on their own way

The Last I See
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
What will be the last I see
when I'll leave this world?
Will it be a field of green
where the sun itself asserts?
What will be the last I hear
when I'll fade away?
Will it be the blackbird's song
at the end of day?
Will there be time to say goodbye
to all the ones I've loved?
Will there be time to say thank you
for all the things I've loved?
Will there be time just to realize?
Will there be time for wisdom to arise?
What will be the last I smell
when I will have to go?
Will it be warm summer rain
that comes to make plants grow?
What will be the last I feel
when I will have to go?
Will it be the happiness
that we used to know?
Will there be time to say goodbye
to all the ones I've loved?
Will there be time to say thank you
for all the things I've loved?
Will there be time just to realize?
Will there be time for wisdom to arise?
I will try to love as long as I live
Maybe this is all that I can give
I will try to smile as long as I live
Maybe this is all that I can give
What will be the last I see
when I will leave this world?
Will it be slender girl
with her shortest skirt on?
Will she come to comfort me
with a gentle smile?
Will I then forget about
that it's my final while?
Will there be time to say goodbye...
I will try to love as long as I live
Maybe this is all that I can give...
What will be the last I feel
when I will close my eyes?
Will it be just final love
longing for your smiles?

"The Gypsy of Your Song"
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Riding on a sunny road
underneath blue skies
the music tape from a Greek fair
lets your voice arise
the airflow and your sound waves meld
to touch me deep inside
something starts to grow and flow
that once I have denied
Feeling free in solitude
right in front the sea
the highway leads our car away
from things I used to be
the graduation's far behind
Calypso's call is strong
I close my eyes, I wish I was
the gypsy of your song
I wrote another night vision
where grandma says goodbye
where liquid language covers me
to look me in the eye
26 years later now
I can still recall
the words you sang not just for me
I see them on the wall
we're lovers of some waves of air
to which our hearts belong
I close my eyes, I wish I was
the gypsy of your song

"Natural High"
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
some days can be so mad
they can bring you down
they cause you to get sad
like a lonesome clown
I've got one thing or two
that helps me in that case
I just think about you
and our mutual days
clouds fly away
they're on the run
No storm will stay
you make it undone
'Cause you're my natural high
that clears away my low
something in your sigh
lets satisfaction grow
you blow away the dark, dark clouds
I tell this to the crowds
Let's share our days of happiness
with everyone who cares
I believe that you believe in me
let's share our days of happiness
with everyone who cares
Oh, I believe that you believe in me
Some nights are dark and grey
And nightmares make you cry
A smart-ass starts to pray
And you just wonder why
I've got one thing or two...

"On and On"
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Rivers are deep and mountains are high
wide is the ocean, blue is the sky
Can't you see?
Light from the stars is reaching our eyes
The moon and the sun let the saltwater rise
And we are just here while lifetime just flies
Can't you see?
Thrown into life with different skills
Some can't survive, some reach the top of the hills
Can't you see?
First we are children, and then we grow old
Some are quite lucky, some are ripped of and sold
Some long for power, some for smooth hands to hold
Can you see?
And on and on the world goes round
It's you to whom my heart is bound
And on and on I need to smile
Just stay with me another while
And on and on I'll sing these songs
To show to whom my heart belongs
And on and on I wonder why
I'm blessed with luck I'm blessed to fly
And on and on and on and on I see
The world's for you and me
Dark matter rules the whole universe
Like you rule my songs, every note, every verse
Can you hear?
Some don't believe that sound waves can heal
They don't spend time to explore what they feel
They're running like hamsters 'til they die in the wheel
full of fear
And on and on the world goes round...

Of Bears and Dogs
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Even though you are not here
Your different songs are all around
I hope you could go without fear
And calming peace you may have found
Oh, my tears will fade away
Oh, a memory will stay
I'll smile with every X-mas song 'cause in my mind I'll hear
you cheering up the holy child to have another beer
Black and white bears may be friends
The neighbour's dog may bark in vain
Grief begins where one life ends
But finally memories remain
Oh, my tears will fade away
...
Silent talks in silent woods
have shown me silently some silent doubts
oh, your silent doubts
But I never would have thought
that such a news would reach our little crowd
Oh, our little crowd
Even though you are not here
Your different songs are all around
I hope you could go without fear
And calming peace you may have found
Oh, my tears will fade away
Oh, a memory will stay
I'll smile with every X-mas song 'cause in my mind I'll hear
you cheering up the holy child to have another beer

Secret Signs
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Even when it's dark
and dire pain swamps all our days
I won't stop to hark
to all the hidden things of grace
I won't give up believing
in you and me
I won't give up receiving
secret signs of love that set us free
In the darkest haze
where no saving light's in sight
Smiling I'll embrace
our tiny world in pure delight
I won't give up believing...
I'll keep on smiling, keep on finding
stars in the deep sky
Keep on laughing, keep on singing
songs and don't ask why
Even when the world seems to go down
Even when the world seems to go down
At the end of time
I guess would not be too sad
I'd be thankful then
for all the luck of life I had
I won't give up believing...
I'll keep on smiling, keep on finding...
Some might say that I'm a dreamer
who ignores the ugly truth
But I'd say it's so much better
to dream than to be bruised
Oh, I'll never stop to dream
At the end of time
I will find the final rhyme

Rain (Hold On)
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Like a clockwork from another time
April rain on the roof starts to rhyme
Hold on! Can you hear the song
the rain tries to sing on and on?
Every raindrop is following rules
like we follow the traces of fools
Hold on! Can you hear the song
the rain tries to sing on and on?
Words of pain everyone once received
Words of love in which we believed
Words of wisdom that nobody knows
Words of peace that silently grows
Hold on! Can you hear the song
the rain tries to sing on and on?
Words of feelings that once made us smiling
Words for you that I used to sing
Words of ancients who we never knew
Words of memories that remind me of you
Hold on! Can you hear the song
the rain tries to sing on and on?
Like a clockwork from another time
April rain on the roof starts to rhyme
Hold on! Can you hear the song
the rain tries to sing on and on?
Hold on to hear the rain

Wallflower
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
She is no beauty
She's very shy
But she's such a cutie
her smile lets you sigh
Nobody sees her
Nobody cares
But she's a believer
who silently dares
And I wonder why
she's on my side
'Cause I can't deny
I'm foolish with pride
I'm just a loser
trying to be cool
But she's a believer
who lets calmness rule
I'm such a loser
on a small isle
And she's my believer
who gives me her smile
She is no beauty
She's very shy
But she's such a cutie
her smile lets you sigh
Nobody sees her
Nobody cares
But she's a believer
who silently dares

The Sun Will Shine
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Another strike, we're in the street
We try to save our rights against the industry
They make the profits we shall pay
But once the greed will kill them, fear will come to stay
The old are dying day by day
The young ones are the next in line to fade away
But after all in any case
Just let me see a smile in your lovely face
Another strike, we're in the street
We try to save our rights against the industry
The sun will shine even when we all are gone
Our solar friend will be alone
So just lay done with me, let's watch our brother sun
And maybe we'll be memorized
And in a billion years the sun will make a smile
Because the memory to us
Oho, the sun will shine
Oho, the sun will shine
Oho, the sun will shine
The trumpets in the theater
Are playing songs that one day I would like to write
Just brass and vocals form a sound
That makes me shiver like one of our former nights
The weekend in your small, big town
With science makes me happy like a funny clown
Some sonic talks but you're not here
You try to spend your weekends out of town this year
The trumpets in the theater
Are playing songs that one day I would like to write
The sun will shine…
The old are dying day by day
The young ones are the next in line to fade away
But after all in any case
Just let me see a smile in your lovely face
The sun will shine…

Andromeda
Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber
Vom Perseus schwenk i
hin zum Bogn den Andromeda beschreibt
då soll sie sein, die nächste Galaxie
Im Fernglås taucht a klana,
schwåcha, triaba Lichtfleck auf
M31, doch i denk nua ån di.
I flew to New York
to watch the highest buildings over there
to talk about science and noise reduction, too
I found some music somewhere
hidden in some hidden place
but after all I just think about you
Andalucìa y sus guitarras flamencas
seràn otra destinaciòn
tambièn seràn otra inspiraciòn
Aunque no dejarè de pensar en ti
Vom Perseus schwenk i
hin zum Bogn den Andromeda beschreibt
då soll sie sein, die nächste Galaxie
Im Fernglås taucht a klana,
schwåcha, triaba Lichtfleck auf
M31, doch i denk nua ån di
I found some music somewhere
hidden in some hidden place
but after all I just think about you
Aunque no dejarè de pensar en ti
Andromeda, doch i denk nua ån di
