One tells himself strange things about the dark woods to the west of the high "Eifel".
There, where the sunrays can't penetrate the shades even in nice weather.
An inexplicable uneasiness packs every now,
also the intrepid biker with the rest in a nice afternoon.
Lucky chance, if you can leave the place of such events fast and at any time.
Ducati is thanks! -
Take care! STEVER music can change consciousness…

Beth Hart - "House Of Sin"
(hidden track No 14 from the "Screamin' for my Supper" CD)
violins hear em play -
on the fence where I lay -
it’s where I lay -
tumble down to the ground -
watch em crash not a sound -
there’s no sound -
and he say that it don’t matter to me -
and he say that all this love is for free -
and he say that it don’t matter to me -
it don’t matter to me -
take me down -
from consciousness -
hold me now -
in decadence -
lay me in -
your house of sin -
take me down -
there’s no sound --
hold me now -
I’m breaking in -
consciousness -
house of sin -
somebody swim -
tumble down onto my knee -
watch it burn -
hold over me -
somebody sing -
and he say nothing to me -
and he say that all this love is for free -
and he say it ain’t nothing to me -
and I will never be free -
so take me down -
from consciousness -
hold me now -
in decadence -
lay me in -
your house of sin -
take me down -
take me down -
there’s no sound -
there’s no sound --
just look around -
your consciousness is fuckin' weak -
just look around -
you slur everytime you speak -
just look around -
your consciousness is fuckin' weak -
just look around -
just look around ...

Poka grohochuschaya slyakot' Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.

When I added a Helen Keller quote to my last blog, I remember seeing this quote and thought to pass it along as I love it also;
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved."
It's brutal we should have to go through so much to build our character, but I do hope we can at least see some good come from it!
Hello Lovely Kurt !!!! I just loved your great note ( it was great .... how could you think otherwise ?) I will write back more soon but I just had to pop by to let you know and to say a big thanks !!!! Your enthusiasm for music is fantastic and so so uplifting ....it really is such a pleasure to be your friend and to know you here !!!! Wishing you a fantastic day and thanks so much for the sweet comments on the new pics ....so appreciated ! I love coming to your page ....it's a feast for ears and eyes ....gorgeous !!!! Big hugs, iv xx
"I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else." ~ Pablo Picasso
I think many times we question our initial ideas, thinking they suck or won't go the distance, but my Mother told me to write everything down, both good and bad. She said I can always crumple it up and throw it out!
I believe in many areas of our lives we can psyche ourselves out before we even get going...
Omigosh , Lovely Kurt , thank you so so much !!!! Seeing the video which is so so beautiful after already re-falling in love with Carly's voice again( even tho I didn't at first know it was her, even cooler!) ......delicious ! .... and magic !!!! Thank you so much!!!! You know I've always loved her ....her voice so gorgeous and she so beautiful ....and still so ....perhaps even more so !!!! Christ, some people really do grow even more beautiful with age . And her voice , it is different but no less beautiful ....richer tones ....smoky tones ....haunted sounding now .....what album is this on ....I must run out and buy it and is the rest just as good???? Great to be re-turned on by a former "heroine" ....thank you for this Kurt !!!! Truly a gift ! Have a beautiful weekend ! iv xx
"The secret of living in peace with all people lies in the art of understanding each one by his own individuality." Friedrich Ludwig Jahn
I like it because whether we are talking about our domestic situations, community, country or world; the key is acceptance of that which makes us individuals.
I find these days I am looking for what makes us different. With all the paper-doll cut-outs, it's refreshing to meet unique people.I mean, I know it's nice to find like-minded spirits, but the goal shouldn't be to try to make others like ourselves.
Peace is out there...hope you are finding it! Karen :)
Ah cool. Thanks. yes it's lovely here, but actually I'm hoping to get over to Germany for Christmas. You people have the best Christmas markets and atmosphere in the world! Plus that's where my boyfriend is at the moment, so I'd love to see him too :) Maybe I'll get to play some concerts while I'm there... We'll see.
I've been so busy lately, promoting the music on iTunes which is going really well! Very exciting indeed! And I'm getting back to writing new music too - very fun!
Plus summer's here which means I can use my backyard again for tea drinking breaks! Woohoo!
Hope you're really well and Germany is as glorious as ever!
