I'll Be On My Way
Announcing my second Exodus from the Matrix, which ensued a few years later, but it did happen.

How Couldn't I (Love You Still)
Have you ever been with someone who periodically (like a few times a day, or at least per week) asks you, “Do you still love me?”
Well, to be frank, this song was just an attempt to be answering that question once and for all, as naive as I was back then…
Of course, it was purely wishful thinking.
It didn’t work…

lyrics
Nothing At All
One of those songs mixing personal experiences and relationship issues with spiritual themes…
It took me a while until I finally got the hang to just stay positive despite the fact that negative issues seem to be so much more popular in the music business…
Today It All Makes Sense
Ballad about the weird things in life that only start making sense a bit further down the road.
I’m sure a lot of us will have that experience eventually, latest at the end of the road…

lyrics
Darkness Unleashed!
Rock song for the people who are fascinated by the Devil and think he’s so cool.
Actually, the first part of this song that just sort of “came” was the beat, and the whole rest of the song is sort of based on it…
One More Christmas
Based on a message somebody received from the Spirit World, preparing us for a time when people won’t be celebrating the birth of Christ anymore because the NWO ideology will have replaced any and all other religions…

The Art of Letting Go
I had received a book by the Franciscan Richard Rohr a while before I wrote this song, and he talked about “Letting Go.”
Some folks are more savvy at this art than others…
I Wanna Be Loved by You
No resemblance to the Marilyn Monroe tune of the same name. Sometimes these songs just come, and you don’t know where from, but I guess you might call this one another love-song to Jesus…
U-Turn
Song wrapping up a marriage gone bad… The U-turn was something I’ve had to do on my own, or at least it led me in a different direction…
Painful experiences are part of life.
Listen to the Whispers
Well, what was a whisper back then has become pretty much a steady voice in my life by now, accompanying me & guiding me through the ups and downs of this roller roaster ride. I can only encourage anyone to heed the advice of this song. It’s worth more than cold cash…
Just One
This one also: tune pops into your head, you sit down, take the guitar & start picking… some lyrics come, you jot’em down… and… there you go, another weird little tune is born that defies all the laws of mathematical structure and “writing hits by numbers…”
Song about the significance of little things in life.
Show Me the Way
One of my “wilder” folk-rock songs from that time with no particular story to it, I’m afraid…
MP3
lyrics
Maybe You Are
Sometimes at the beginning of a relationship, you’re not quite sure yet whether the person you’re with is the “right” one… They may have certain weird qualities that may scare you off a bit, and only time will do the talking.
P.S.: In this particular case, it took a while for time to do the talking, and it turned out not to have been the real thing...
Perhaps those are right who say, when you know, you just know...

The Man Who Loved The Whore
November 13, 1996
One of my favorite songs, about the "fallen" woman who came to wash Jesus' feet with her tears. Some say it was Mary Magdalene, others say, not so. In any case, writing this song was a real experience, almost as if she described the scene to me herself...
Just Give Me A Chance
Between December '95 and March '96
All except for the chorus of the song were parts of a message someone had received from the Lord for a boy who had been driving a car that was involved in a fatal accident while he was still in a coma, but which also appealed a lot to me. It was an unconditional and endless love that I wanted to pass on to others, if they would just give Him the chance...

Lyrics
Whenever I played that song live I introduced it as a song about a rampant social disease that's especially wide-spread in the part of the world we're living in. You just don't get rich and famous with that sort of stuff...
Freak Like Me
November '95
MP3
lyrics
3 minute version of the story of my life up until that point...
The nostalgia of looking back at the days when I was still free to roam about like a gypsy, compared to the settled down life-style I saw myself stuck in... But there are always some lessons to learn from all of it...

Eye Of The Storm
October 12, 1995
I was playing in lots of Irish Pubs during this time.
The fiddle on this one was played by Maire Egan, the girl-friend of one of the Pub owners in Constance at that time...
Battle At Dawn
August 20, 1995
A song about the Great Tribulation & the Antichrist, the 2nd Coming of Jesus & the Battle of Armageddon.

Things You Hate
Aug.15, '95
One of the hits from "Rhythm of Life" about how some people complain no matter how much they've got...
