A song about the Great Tribulation & the Antichrist, the 2nd Coming of Jesus & the Battle of Armageddon.

This Kid

July '95

Song for my son Benjamin. He was such a cute and cheery fellow at age 3...

You couldn't help but be changed.

lyrics

I've Got You (& You're All I Need)

Winter of '94/'95

One of my personal faves from "Whispers," a love-song to Jesus.

Thief In The Night

Dec.21, 1994

Once I got up in the middle of the night (or wee hours of the morning), compelled to write down this song...

lyrics

The Devil Hates Me For That

Written at Ted's place near Stuttgart, Nov.18, 1994

A song I played live quite often during that time. Guess it's a typical "Mendoza lick"...

Lyrics

Gently & Quietly I’ll Blow Your Mind

Oct.29, 1994

Although I may not have been in the brightest phase of my life during the time I wrote this song, I always figured it was the Lord speaking in it, since He definitely manages to blow our minds with His whispers, more than all the world's rah-rah ever could.

MP3

Lyrics

Love, Come Into My Life

Oct.29, 1994

I think I've had the knack for oriental slants in some of my songs for a while, & this was one of them...

If you think about it, the sort of music Jesus listened to during His time on earth was probably a lot more oriental than what we're used to...

MP3

Lyrics

Shadows

October 5, 1994

Folky tune about the Tribulation & 2nd Coming/Rapture, which I still play relatively often, since I like its style and it's easy on the voice, being so low-pitched & smooth.

The Year Love Disappeared

March-August 1994

David Brandt Berg once wrote that the last thing they're trying to kill people's faith in is love. Jesus also said that in the last days the love of many would grow cold...

lyrics

Life's Not a Freeway

August 19, 1994

There's no speed limit on German highways, & people drive accordingly. It can really be murderously dangerous sometimes. This song is for all the "me-first" types on German highways.

MP3 Lyrics

Passion

July '94

There isn't much of a story to tell behind this song, except that it was basically addressing the colder than average, reserved German mentality in general... no offense intended.

It's a song that every now and then I find preaching at myself...

MP3 lyrics

Love-Starved Children

March 10, 1994

This song was inspired by one of the kids in our neighborhood who struck me as pretty forsaken, since her parents apparently never had time to her, so she often would tug along with us when we'd go for a walk through the woods or whatever...

Coincidentally, this song brought me to the States in 2000, via the North America Country Music Association Intl., since the song had won some kind of award the year beforehand, and I was invited to attend the following year, but that is yet another story...

Life's Roller Coaster Ride

Sept.13-14, 1993

MP3 Lyrics

The song that kind of wraps up my life in a 2 minute version of the story...

Closer Than a Friend

Sept.3, '93

MP3

Lyrics

Folk-Rock ballad I apparently wrote 5 years before I got around to recording it...

Concrete Hearts

Sept.7-22, 1992

Inspired by a fairly cold conversation with an English lady I met one night busking in a pub in Constance...

The Busker's Song

July '91 - August 19, '92

MP3

Lyrics

In those days I still supported our entire family of 6 by busking in restaurants & clubs, primarily in Switzerland.

It wasn't always easy, as this song, sort of similarly to my sentiments in "My Melody" expresses...

Fire, Water, Air & Earth

MP3 Lyrics

One of the roadblocks to inter human communications and peace is the fact that we tend to see things from our own point of view and generally don't come up with a lot of tolerance for whatever is different from us. This was only one stretch in my journey towards the realization that God has purposely created us as different kinds in order to both learn from each other and learn to accept each other...

Losers Turn Winners

MP3 Lyrics

Probably one of my strongest songs from that time, which is why I recently re-recorded it.
The problem with rich people is that often they act like they're the winners in the game of life and treat all others like losers, when in reality it's not money that determines one's worth,
as I'm pretty sure we'll all see sooner or later...
