New recording 2019 at Intermezzo with Rika Körte and Steven Macdonald as recording engineers: mp3 audio
Goodbye my love, I leave tonight,
I know you’re in new hands,
Though I would rather follow you,
That’s not the way that this is planned,
Our destiny will now be watched
by different eyes than mine,
I wish you just the best,
be sure we’ll meet again in time.
Merlin remastered Infinite Hands with Bodhran and Flute. This is a copy of his text (in German).
Nach dem 1750-er Widerstandslied „Auf einem Baum ein Kuckuck saß“, nur dass heute nicht mehr der Jäger der Prellbock der Herrschenden ist, sondern eben die Polizei.
Im Herbst 2003 mit Lastalda nach der FilkCONtinental auf ihre Signatur gedichtet.
Dieses Lied habe ich für Björn und Nue geschrieben, denn so ist ein Teil meines Lebens. !-doch>
Ich hoffe, ihr habt Freude am Lesen, Spielen und Hören.

Refrain:
I build my kernel and I strip it down,
my programs only do what I need
the tree is at my very core
it's my whole world and it is my seed.
Today is the 25th birthday of the GNU project - the very beginning of the free software community we are today.
This is my small, humble contribution for the birthday celebration.
Happy Birthday to GNU (ogg vorbis)
Happy Birthday to GNU,
Happy Birthday to GNU,
Happy Birthday not Unix,
Happy Birthday to GNU.

I recently found the OpenBSD songs, and the artists say that they are part of OpenBSD, logically as well as license-wise. And OpenBSD is licensed under a three-clause BSD license which is GPL compatible - that means I can record and publish it here!
This is the OpenBSD 3.6 release song: Pond-erosa Puff, written about people who make something free and suddenly decide to go the unfree path.
Many thanks to all you OpenBSD guys!
Your license is a bit too weak for my taste, but damn, it's free - and your code is as good as your songs!

Beware of that Fruit (Broken Apple Heart) ( http://bah.draketo.de/?p=13 )
(What do you think, why Macs no longer Smile?)
Chorus:
I was an Apple User and loyal to the core,
But one grey day I realized what made my heartache soar,
They want to make the big bucks now and want no one to see,
That ever more surveillance takes the Users rights as fee.

Ich weiß nicht, wie wir die Geschichte überlebt haben, aber die Haischamanin werde ich kaum vergessen, doch ich habe sie nicht wieder gefunden.

This is the first song I ever wrote myself, text melody and guitar, and I am still not quite satisfied with the way I can play it.
-> ogg vorbis music file.
It misses a violin. (I played it once together with a fiddler, and it was exactly what I imagined. But I had no recording accessories at hand at that time, and I'm sad we weren't able to play together more often... I hope you still like it the way it is now!)
Dieses Lied habe ich geschrieben, als ich aus tiefen Zweifeln entkommen bin, ob ich das Recht habe Fantasy zu schreiben, während in unserer Welt so viel zu tun ist.
Die Abgründe des Tiefs erspare ich euch, aber dieses Lied möchte ich euch geben. Es hat mich aus dem Tief geholt.
Die Aufnahme ist ein bootleg von der FilkCONtinental '06, wo ich es im Hauptkonzert gesungen und gespielt habe.
Viel Spaß beim Hören!
