COLLABORHYTHM COLLABTUNES
SONG LIST 1
THE LAST MAN STANDING

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST ONE
Song List 1 is contemplative, ideological, and quietly severe. These songs wrestle with meaning, responsibility, regret, survival, and the cost of staying awake in a damaged world. Rather than focusing on personal romance or immediate crisis, this list examines systems, beliefs, identity, and the long shadow of choice.
The danger here is subtle: despair arrives dressed as wisdom.

Themes and potential triggers include:
Existential questioning and loss of certainty
Moral fatigue and disillusionment with society
War trauma, survivor’s guilt, and post‑conflict grief (Cost of War)
Death, mortality, and “sorting the dead” imagery
Chronic regret and fear of wasted life (Deep Seeded)
Environmental grief and ecological destruction (Visited a Place)
Historical cycles of oppression, power, and division (Fallen Walls)
Identity fragmentation and dissociation (As for Me)
Religious doubt, spiritual exhaustion, and rejection of dogma
Poverty, scarcity, and human worth measured by money (Gift)
Burnout from capitalism, labor, and “serving power” (All in a Day)
Isolation disguised as resilience (Last Man Standing)
Withdrawal, avoidance, and depressive stasis (Fourteen Days)
Feeling awake in a world that prefers sleep

Notable content notes:

Cost of War includes explicit references to combat death, bodily injury, and lasting psychological scars.

Deep Seeded centers on lifelong regret, fear, and the paralysis of never leaving.

Visited a Place addresses environmental destruction, complicity, and moral failure.

Fourteen Days depicts isolation, withdrawal, and depressive behavior, even as it claims recovery.

Last Man Standing frames emotional isolation as strength, which may resonate uncomfortably for some listeners.

This list may be difficult if you are sensitive to:
Existential dread or nihilism
War‑related trauma or political disillusionment
Feeling complicit in harm you didn’t stop
Chronic regret about paths not taken
Depression framed as stoicism or clarity
Feeling awake, alone, and surrounded by indifference

Song List 1 does not shout. It questions. And it keeps questioning long after the song ends.
This is the beginning of the catalog — where innocence is already gone, but hope hasn’t yet learned how fragile it is.
Listener discretion advised.

(1) KNOWING THE KNOW 
by Tom Jensen & LadyWeaver

I don’t try to teach
I don’t try to preach
That’s not the way
That people get reached

When I speak
I don’t try to say
I don’t try to tell

You’re not looking to buy
I’m not trying to sell
I just try to show
And you know...
That that works pretty well

(the rest of the lyrics:
You don’t have to be a farmer
In order to live off the land
Nor do you have to be taught
In order to understand

You choosing right or wrong
Whether you build or you break

Is not the reason 
I sing this song
Or why I fight through 
all this heartache

Some people just get it
They just know the know

But the amount of time 
it takes for the others
Is so, so slow

I don’t know what 
all the reasons are
Why it takes so much time

I haven’t figured 
out everything yet
Why some people 
are so goddamn blind!)

(2) NEVERMORE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen 

Let's check out what's next on the list 
of things I gotta fix...
yeah

Might as well start with myself 
before I move on to something else...
yeah

Time to probe my soul...
To find out where I lost control...
Search within my heart 
'til I can tell 
where it all fell apart...

And I say to myself:
Nevermore
Yeah, I say to myself:
Nevermore

It's been awhile since 
I went out of style
and now it's either do or die

I feel no pain 
as I ride on this train
Okay...it's just another lie

Time to set things straight
and think of all the
games I've played

Teach my foolish heart 
to find out 
where it all fell apart

So I say to myself:
Nevermore
Yeah, I say to myself:
Nevermore

Whah!

Time to probe my soul...
To find out 
where I lost control...

Search within my heart 
'til I can tell 
where it all fell apart...

And I say to myself:
Nevermore
Yeah, I say to myself:
Nevermore
And I say to myself:
Nevermore

Ooh...

Yeah, I say to myself:
Nevermore

Nevermore
From this point forward...
Nevermore

Nevermore
From this point forward...
Nevermore
Nevermore
From this point forward...
Nevermore

Ooh!

Nevermore
From this point forward...
Nevermore

(3) HERE AND NOW 
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

The time is getting late
Your lifetime is passing
Why should you wait
Is the question you are asking

Paralyzed by fear 
Frozen by the uncertain
Unknowing in how far or near
Is the final curtain

But you can never tell
What lies ahead 
Maybe Heaven, maybe Hell
Only one man sorts the dead

Yea you can never tell
What lies ahead 
Maybe Heaven, maybe Hell
Only one man sorts the dead

In the here and now 
Is where heroes are made
In this world we live
We die even villains fade

With our vision to achieve
Great statues are erected
And although we still believe
What is strived for is never perfected

But you can never tell
What lies ahead 
Maybe Heaven, maybe Hell
Only one man sorts the dead

Yea you can never tell
What lies ahead 
Maybe Heaven, maybe Hell
Only one man sorts the dead

In the here and now 
is where we are
You may try to run 
-- but you won't get far

As the dreams you hold 
may never be
Just as the light that shines
you may never see
But you can never tell
What lies ahead 
Maybe Heaven, maybe Hell
Only one man sorts the dead

No, you can never tell
What lies ahead 
Maybe Heaven, maybe Hell
Only one man sorts the dead

(4) COST OF WAR
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Alright!
The sun is rising
The birds are chirping

I'm looking for something
Yet I'm still searching

ooh...

What is my goal?
Just where is my place?

Look into these eyes
Pierce through this soul
Stare into this face

ooh...

Alright!

I'm back from the war
I carry scars in my heart
For brothers and sisters I lost
Oh how cruelly we part

I'm back from the war
Oh, the tears I have cried
Reliving the last memories
Of my friends who have died

ooh...
The sun is rising
Birds are chirping

I'm looking for something
Yet I'm still searching

I am lost in this world 
that can be colder ice
But I found it this way 
it never asked my advice

Too many bad people 
who got their own way
And those who followed
Not knowing what a price 
they would pay

Still I must join 
in all of this madness
Attempt to act brave 
while hiding this sadness

Doing exactly 
what I have been ordered to do
Brother fighting brother
Me killing you
I'm back from the war
I carry a scar in my heart
For the sisters I lost
Oh, how cruelly we part

Ooh...

I'm back from the war
Oh, the tears I have cried
Clutching onto the lasting memories
Of my fellow soldiers who died

There are followers and there are leaders
Those who died in battle and their defeaters
Those who can't use their arms or legs
Cause someone failed to use their head
And my friends who now lay quietly
Leaving God to sort the dead

The sun is rising
Birds are chirping
I'm looking for something
Yet I'm still searching

(5) DEEP SEEDED
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I've been plowing these same fields 
for nearly thirty years
And ain't no great visions 
ever magically appeared

Just the sight of me standing here
Alone with my regrets 
and all of my deep seeded fears

There's so much work to be done
Once the summer comes 
the engine hums as the tractor runs
Seven days a week I'm out here in the sun

Back in my familiar place
Even though a new season has begun

It keeps the family fed
It's a dependable trade
It's the choice that I've made
For the last three decades

I've been living the same exact day
Never followed through on the things I say

Year by year my childhood dreams 
have faded further away
And now the sky is beginning to turn gray

Slowly my fields of wheat are turning into hay
All those conversations I've had with myself
Are becoming hearsay

This is the price I pay for being too afraid
I let myself down and now I feel betrayed

I've been plowing these same fields 
for nearly thirty years
And ain't no great visions 
ever magically appeared

Just the sight of me standing here
Alone with my regrets 
and all of my deep seeded fears

Looking back...
I think I've overextended my stay
I never merged onto the freeway

I never headed out onto the highway
My car just sat in the driveway

(6) VISITED A PLACE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

If you stop and listen...
You can hear a crying earth
With all of life's trivial things
It can be hard to measure worth

I visited a place 
That used to be a forest
A little girl made a puzzled face
No one else noticed the problem

She represented brutal honesty
My God, I thought they'd outlawed it
Yet when she looked back at me
I turned away like I never saw it

I cleared all those trees myself
For you see that I am a logger

As each one falls 
what grows is my wealth
Now that land's 
a factory of her father's

If you stop and listen...
You can hear a crying earth
With all of life's trivial things
It can be hard to measure worth

I visited a place
That used to have a garden
Back before the bombs fell down
And all this crumbling decay started

I used to be able to sleep at night
But lately I've been having problems
I used to think things would be all right

There are so many evils out there
And by myself I just can't stop 'em
Do we really think we're going to find
The hands of the clock unwind

If so many people just like me and you
Say we have something more important to do
Can't change the world by wishing only by trying

If you stop and listen...
You can hear a crying earth
With all of life's trivial things
It can be hard to measure worth

I visited a place… I visited a place…
I visited a place… I visited a place…

I visited a place that could have been my Eden
If only I had spoken up but unfortunately I didn't
I let myself fall back asleep
Until now I kept my nightmare hidden

I visited a place that no longer exists 
If only we had woken up... 
It would never have ended up like this

(7) FALLEN WALLS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

A whirlwind of thought 
starts spinning around
I've been thinking a lot 
‘bout what's been going down

And about what's been going on 
as I read the texts of history
I see the pages keep repeating… 
The idea is becoming clear to me

I'm noticing a pattern of ebb and flow
The rise and fall of man, men and kings

As a great chasm 
seems to keep growing between
Self-proclaiming all-seeing beings 
and those who'll never know

I watch castles crumbling 
while at the same time
New statues keep rising 
as slaves stand side by side

Working all day on newly fallen walls 
And it's our job to keep rebuilding
What's not for our own protection 
Since these structures are used for dividing...

All people and states
All races and religions
It's become the best way to separate

Old new ideas from 
The foundation of tradition

First condense them
Then convince them to believe it's too late
When they know it really isn't

Get them to lose their hope
For if you can break their faith
Maybe they'll all stop searching 
for what's hidden

History's hands of time have told 
That when there's no buried treasure to behold

We all know there'll be no shovels left to be had 
Nor no more miners to find others out there 
to help them with their digging....
Ahhh

(8) AS FOR ME
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Kisses and drugs
Make the world go round
Angry eyes and frowns
Just keep us down...

Booze and hugs help take off the edge
It's great to escape every now and then...

As for me... (as for me)
Well I'm glad you asked

When I look at my reflection I see 
many faces looking back 
from the shattered glass

back from the shards 
of shattered glass
back from these shards 
of shattered glass

Religion puts us all in boxes and rows
Though we know it's hard to open
a mind that's closed

In politics half the people are wrong
Half the people are right
Some enjoy a good fight

As for me... (as for me)
Well I'm glad you asked

When I look at my reflection I see 
many faces looking back from the shattered glass
Back from the shards of shattered glass
Back from these shards of shattered glass
Some people are strong
Others weak inside
So they hide behind 
a hollow wall of pride
(That's what they/we do)

Some people are greedy
Others feed the needy
Still more are shady
And some just plain seedy

As for me... (as for me)
Well I'm glad you asked

When I look at my reflection I see 
many faces looking back from the shattered glass
back from the shards of shattered glass
back from these shards of shattered glass

I don't judge myself on what I've done...
(Don't judge yourself on what you've done)

But on the things I've yet to do...
(There's so much out there that you can do)

I know somehow I've failed someone...
(You can't go pleasing everyone)

I'm just not yet sure if I know who...
(Sorry, but you will have to choose…)

(9) SINGER SONGWRITER
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I'm a singer... a songwriter...
I'm a lover... and a fighter...
I'm a poet... a word dancer...

I love asking questions…
Though I don't always like the answers 

Still I do it…Try to see through it
Though I know that I don't have to
If you were me what would you do?
Is the question that I now ask you:

I'm a searcher... yes a seeker
I'm both a student... and a teacher
Yet I'm no prophet... nor a preacher

I sit here and I think - 
But that just leads to more confusion...

I live to question…Become a believer
Not in self-deception but in something deeper

That gives my life meaning…
Even more than rhyming
And that's the reason that I keep on trying…

I try to open minds those that are closed
And uncover what needs to be exposed
By bringing myself up to the brink
Where my head feels like it will explode

Boy... I could use a drink
But that only adds cloudiness 
to this great grand illusion...

I'm a singer... a songwriter...
I'm a lover... and a fighter...
I'm a poet... a word dancer...

I love asking questions 
Though I don't always find the answers 

Still I do it…Try to see through it
Though I know that I don't have to

If you were me
What would you do?
Is the question that I now ask you:

I'm a singer… a songwriter

(10) GIFT
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Sometimes I make myself cry...

We both know it's true
While other guys might lie...
I try to swallow my pride

It's a gift
It's a gift I give to you

Everybody dances for money
I dance for free
Everybody dances for money
I dance for free

Everybody's a slave to do something
I work for humanity

Everybody's got something to sell you
Is what they've been telling me
Everybody's got something to sell you
Is what they've been telling me

I stopped falling for advertisements
Once I bought into poverty
(Oh...come on boy!)

You don't care about the name you wear
When you don't have enough to eat
You don't care about the name you wear
When you don't have enough to eat

Lace and frills lead to unpaid bills
No electricity, water and heat

Once you have everything in life
There's nothing left to do but give
Once you have everything in life
There's nothing left to do but give

Just free yourself from this rat race
And say that you've lived

Sometimes I make myself cry...

We both know it's true
While other guys might lie...
I try to swallow my pride
It's a gift
It's a gift I give to you

(11) ALL IN A DAY
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

The bus arrived early...
The train late
I knew time was against me
Seems to forever be my fate

All in a day
All in a day
All in a day

I serve power nine to five
I fight power five to nine
Yet I'm feeling
more and more like 
we're slowly falling behind

All in a day
All in a day
All in a day
All in a day

Who wants to invest 
in a human being?
Because I vehemently disagree
with those who believe
That life is a game
Which must be won 
so they say:

"We do business as 
business is being done... 
Rules? I am the rules!
Besides... with God on my side
Who Would ever be against me?"

All in a day
All in a day

Some people try to save lives
Others live to save coins
Some people love to watch 
The sun rise late at night
Or what others call 
the crack of dawn
All in a day
All in a day
All in a day
All in a day

All in a day
All in a day
All in a day
All in a day

All in a day
All in a day
All in a day
All in a day

All in a day
All in a day

(12) FOURTEEN DAYS
by Klaus Bluetner 
& Tom Jensen & Big Suna

Nine o'clock in the morning
And I'm yawning
I can't get out of bed

Can it be that I'm dreaming
'Cause this feeling 
Is still inside my head

And my soul has been lifted
It has drifted
Tryin' to fly away

and although I'm still tired
I'm inspired at the start 
of a brand new day

I haven't played 
in fourteen days

Just laid in bed 
and hid away

I covered my tracks 
and then I covered my head

I haven't played 
in fourteen days

Just following my foolish ways

I'm takin' my time 
so don't you think 
that I'm dead

And I never heard 
a single word 
of what they said:

Behind my back 
Or in front of my face

Hmmm....

Yeah!
Alright!
Ooh...hoo...hoo…

Nine o'clock in the morning
and I'm yawning
I can't get out of bed
Can it be that I'm dreaming
'Cause this feeling 
Is still inside my head

And my soul has been lifted
it has drifted
tryin' to fly away

and although I'm still tired
I'm inspired
at the start 
of a brand new day

I haven't played in fourteen days
Just laid in bed and hid away

I covered my tracks 
and then I covered my head

I haven't played 
in fourteen days

Just following my foolish ways

I'm takin' my time 
so don't you think 
that I'm dead

Fourteen days 
and fourteen nights

But I tell you I'm alright...

And deep down inside I'm new
you will find out that it's true

Hoo!

(13) LAST MAN STANDING
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I've seen the good and the bad
To the highest and lowest degree
I'll be the last man standing
That and this is my creed:

When everything is silent
I know that I won't be blind
I will be the sole survivor
Left on the island that is my mind
You may call it crazy
The only way that I can cope
Ask me why nothing seems to phase me
Because you see I'm hanging by a rope

For I've seen the good and the bad
To the highest and lowest degree
I'll be the last man standing
That and this is my creed:

When everything is silent
I know I won't be blind
I will be the sole survivor
Left on the island that is my mind

You may surround yourself with paupers
And hold your cane just like a king
Converse with those who know nothing
Yet have opinions on everything

Trade away your suit coat
It will no longer keep you warm
Just like you it's traveled many times
Become beaten, ripped and torn
(beaten, ripped and torn)

So you think you've felt pain?
Just change into a new pair of shoes
With everything that you've gained
You've got more than nothing to lose?

Think of the mountains you have climbed
And the rivers you managed to cross
Knowing that those who had it all
Still ended up being lost

I've seen the good and the bad
To the highest and lowest degree
I'll be the last man standing
That and this is my creed:

Even though it still amazes me
That I haven't yet lost hope
I'lll be the last man standing
On the last damn thing left afloat

I'lll be the last man standing
On the last damn thing left afloat

This album explores themes of existential struggles, personal transformation, societal critique, and the search for meaning. It blends introspection with a deep questioning of the world and individual purpose.
Search for Truth, Self-Reflection & Regret, Existential Struggle, Resistance & Rebellion

COLLABORHYTHM COLLABTUNES
SONG LIST 2
SHEILA TEQUILA

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST TWO

 Song List 2 is steeped in self‑confrontation, addiction,

 emotional entrapment, and psychological suffocation.

 These songs repeatedly return to the idea that escape

 is an illusion — that every attempt to outrun pain

 only drags it deeper inside.

 The tone here is darker than heartbreak and more personal

 than social critique. Much of the damage happens internally,

 behind closed doors, in mirrors, bottles, bedrooms, and memories.

Themes and potential triggers include:

 • Suicide and death imagery (explicit and implicit)

 • Emotional entrapment and fatalism

 • Addiction and substance abuse (alcohol as coping)

 • Domestic and relational control (She)

 • Loss of agency and reproductive coercion

 • Shame, regret, and irreversible decisions

 • Self‑destructive isolation framed as strength

 • Religious guilt and basement‑level faith

 • Burning possessions as ritualized grief

⚠️ STRONG CONTENT NOTES:

Dead End
 depicts a life path ending in death.

Curves of Sorrow
 contains clear addiction narratives.

Bottom of the Lake
 uses drowning imagery/metaphors.

Trash Can
 ritualizes grief through burning items.

She
 involves domestic subjugation and imprisonment.

 These songs don’t offer comfort. They offer confrontation.

 It forces the listener to sit with the truth that some wounds

 don’t close cleanly, and some exits aren’t exits at all.

Listener discretion is strongly advised.

 12. YOU CAN NEVER RUN AWAY FROM YOURSELF

(1) DEAD END

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 I know who you are and who you want to be,

 I know you're entrapped and you want to be free.

 You can't put off until tomorrow what needs

 to be done today. We've had this talk so many

 times before, there's not much more I can say.

 When the days become years you'll know it's true,

 you'll look back and say, "Why didn't I listen to you?"

 I've been down that road, let me tell you my friend,

 that sooner or later you'll see a dead end.

 The road will deceive you with its ups and its downs,

 it's hard to find direction with your head spinning round.

 You found a hole in the sky but it's lonesome there,

 even when you gaze down you still feel no fear.

 Come on my darling, it's time to turn the page,

 the only way you're not dying is from old age...

 Two years later—I'd hoped to see you again,

 but I couldn't make it, so some flowers I'll send.

 I tried to convince you but you wouldn't bend,

 so sorry for you, now you'll never mend.

 The road has deceived you with its ups and its downs,

 it's just so sad I'll never see you around.

(2) ALISON'S AIRPLANE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 I find my religion in the basement of churches,

 never mind a pew.

 Here I sit trying to learn from my mistakes,

 God knows I've made a few.

 If you'd made as many as I have,

 then you'd probably sit here, too.

 Here I sit and reminisce it all, biding my time

 by reading slogans on the wall.

 Maybe a higher power is what I need, perhaps

 placing something above myself will set me free.

 For you can only tell what you're really worth,

 when you realize you're not the center of the earth.

 The sun does not rise for you, no matter how much

 you want it to. Then the rest is up to you,

 use your better judgment if you want to.

(3) WARMER WATERS

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 While looking for a role model, looking for a hobby,

 ended up picking up a bottle, ended up hurting my body.

 I tried to save a lost cause, got a little carried away,

 ended up losing myself and let another one slip away.

 Looking for the sacred river, looking for warmer waters,

 ended up a disbeliever and being led to the slaughter.

 Tried to help them climb out from the valley,

 tried to bring them to my level. Every time I

 get close—my God, they introduce me to the Devil.

 Looking to transcend my existence, looking for Heaven

 on earth, ended up finding a sign: NO ADMITTANCE.

 I guess you shouldn't try to be a shepherd

 when all your sheep jump off the cliff.

 But you can't see inside my conscience

 and all the pain I'm living with.

 Looking at myself in the mirror to see if I could

 recognize my face, finally seeing everything much

 clearer and finding the self I had misplaced.

(4) THE LIGHT OR THE WHITE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 It’s the same faces in the same room, only

 a different night. Just another wasted day,

 but it’s much more complicated than wrong vs right.

 Dreams cast aside and soon vanish out of sight.

 You better choose your side correctly when

 it’s the light against the white.

 You can get pleasure through people or pleasure

 through things, but when the ship starts sinking,

 it’s time to cut your strings.

 Time to cut the lines and make up your mind,

 either lead the pack or else follow behind.

 The white or the light, it’s the fight of your life,

 you better choose right.

 Either life-saving surgery or else amputation,

 it’s a full-time job and there ain’t no vacation.

(5) SHE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 She gently sighs and then she softly cries,

 she still denies that there's a void inside.

 An only child but not a lonely child, her

 horses were chained so they never ran wild.

 An early life full of distractions and they all

 offered protection, but all of her paths were

 paved in stone, she could never find her way alone.

 She... oh she... she... could not break free.

 A child cloned from her environment, told

 what not to do without ever trying it.

 She was barefoot and pregnant and now she regrets it,

 never dreaming her past would come back to haunt her.

 The man paid the bills and shattered her wills,

 and broke her down to her simplest form.

 She bended and kneeled, her fate forever sealed,

 a true-self never truly revealed. After he left

 her wounds never healed, just a sheep left defenseless.

 So she hides the pain away, has forgotten any

 other way. Today's reflection still mirrors

 yesterday, yet May is another month away. She...

(6) CURVES OF SORROW

by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

 The smell of beer still lingers in the air,

 better leave now while the coast is clear.

 A wasted life recaptures the past, little

 does he know that a shadow has been cast.

 Another drink, soon it fills his glass, he

 sits and he wonders which road that he passed.

 The road that would have led him far from here,

 the road that could have put a smile on his face.

 Deep down he knows new roads lie ahead, if

 he misses his next turn he'll probably be dead.

 He only knew of just one taste, his lips around

 the bottle, and the lines on his face...

 they drew a line of sorrow.

(7) LET DOWN

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 Who’d have thought that a pair of faded blue jeans

 could bring me to my knees?

 Who'd have thought that after I let her in,

 she'd do just what she pleased?

 An angel on the outside, the devil within,

 I would soon discover. Well I guess they're right,

 you can never judge a book by its cover.

 I've done something I told myself I'd never do,

 before you proved your love I put my trust in you.

 I believed your lies and dried your eyes and to

 my surprise you took me for a ride, a ride

 I'll never take again.

 Can you see me frown? As you're leaving town,

 the truth's been found, you let me down again.

 Such a beautiful smile yet eyes full of deceit,

 you said that you loved me all the while you

 were lying through your teeth.

(8) TABLE FOR TWO

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 The coffee's on... I used to have coffee with you,

 but you're gone... and now I'll have to find someone new.

 No, I don't like to drink my coffee alone, so

 I'd call and hope that you'd pick up the phone.

 And we'd talk until the kids came home, and

 we'd talk until my coffee it turned cold.

 And we'd talk some more when the kids ran off to play

 and we'd talk... that's how we'd spend our day.

 Then you'd cook with the phone held to your ear,

 as you set the table for only two.

 You knew that I was there... even though I was here.

 You knew that I was there, even though I was here.

 Table for two... table for two... table for two.

(9) BOTTOM OF THE LAKE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 My heart is now my best friend, no longer my enemy,

 I've finally said goodbye to you and said hello to me.

 The path we walked was winding, at least we weren't alone,

 but when yourself you're finding, sometimes you walk alone.

 I swim through my memories as you're drowned by waves,

 tears roll off your eyes over love that couldn't be saved.

 When it's time to sink or swim, it's already too late,

 bubbles float up through the water, I'm at the bottom.

 Don't call for a rescue whatever you do...

 I jumped in the water to free myself from you.

 This boulder shackled to my ankle has become my friend,

 we'll be soul mates forever until the very end.

 As heavy as my new friend is, he's just a feather

 compared to you. I'm at the bottom of the lake.

(10) TRASH CAN

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 Here is where I stand beside a burning trash can,

 found a way to relieve my pain. Gathered everything

 that reminds me of your name.

 Every picture of you and I and all of the possessions

 that you left behind. As if a priest I now preside

 in leading the funeral procession.

 My tears over these lost years have replaced the wine.

 Since I am already pale, having found I lost my host,

 I find no further reasons to invoke the holy ghost.

 Here is where I stand next to everything that you left.

 Beside a burning trash can, it's the only way I'll forget.

(11) SANDCASTLES

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 Just when I thought the tide had turned,

 I played with fire and I got burned.

 Then reality shattered me, no longer listen to flattery,

 find out what she wants and erase her from my memory.

 Love is bound to come back if we were meant to be,

 traveling busily across the deep blue sea...

 Only adults know the rising of the tide and the

 pressures we call time could never withstand.

 Build a sandcastle and watch it wash away, try to

 defeat the tide and return the next day.

 Wave after wave after wave / wave after wave after wave.

 Watch your work, what we call play, slowly see

 your structure fade away.

 For the waves rolled in and washed away our love,

 I'm sure somewhere up there God is laughing from above.

 I'll add your name onto the list of pretty faces I couldn't resist.

 In all my rhymes and verses, sweet words of love

 have been changed to curses.

(12) YOU CAN NEVER RUN AWAY FROM YOURSELF

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 I lay on the ground as I feel death’s cold eyes,

 even in defeat I am not taken by surprise.

 I am my own rock, by no man’s law I abide,

 in desperate times you can look for a place to hide.

 But you can never run away from yourself,

 in good times and bad times, in sickness and health.

 There’s no escape when trouble has already come,

 for you can never take back anything that you have done.

 Never run away from yourself...

SONG LIST 3
A DAY AT THE OFFICE

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST THREE

 This collection focuses on reckoning, disillusionment, and confrontation with reality.

 Unlike the raw danger of List 4, Song List 3 is about waking up and realizing the world,

 the self, and the future are not what was promised. Several songs deal with sudden

 catastrophe, existential dread, identity collapse, and psychological exhaustion.

Themes and potential triggers include:

 • Mass-casualty disaster imagery and sudden death (Last Cup of Coffee)

 • Survivor’s guilt and “ordinary day turns fatal” scenarios

 • Depression, burnout, and emotional depletion

 • Being misjudged, bullied, or socially targeted (Low Down)

 • Loss of faith in institutions, media, and authority (Trending)

 • Anxiety, dissociation, and intrusive thoughts

⚠️ NOTABLE CONTENT WARNING:

Last Cup of Coffee
 contains explicit references to a real‑world style mass tragedy,

 sudden death, and helplessness. 
Carry Me, Oasis,
 and 
End of the Road
 explore

 prolonged psychological struggle and spiritual erosion.

 These songs don’t ask for pity. They ask for awareness. Listener discretion is advised.

(1) LAST CUP OF COFFEE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 It's just another morning as the sun comes up again

 Take your first sip of coffee, say hello to your friend

 Take a peek at the paper—any good news today?

 But it seems like nothing's going on, so face down it will stay

 Eight o'clock in the morning and your job cries out your name

 Sitting down at your computer, but something is gonna change

 Another sip of coffee, but your papers stay in your drawer

 So many places you'd rather be...

 And then you see a sight among sights; you arise from your seat

 As you feel the ground beneath your feet crumbling

 And you're still sitting here up on the sixty-sixth floor

 Should've watched the Sunrise; could've been living for more

 But today it is marked as your day to die

 As two tears... They form in your eyes

 It was just another morning; yeah, the sun came up again

 Took one last sip of coffee, said hello to your friend

 How could today have really been any better?

 But then you saw the sight among sights that blinds your eyes

 And you felt the ground beneath your feet crumbling

 And you were just sitting there on the sixty-sixth floor

 Hoping a miracle came, hoping you'd live just one day more

 But today it was marked as the start of the end

 We can't go backwards ever again.

(2) LOOKING FOR LOVE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 I've been looking for love in all the wrong places

 Disregarding hearts of gold for pretty faces

 By the wicked I get scorned, left broken and torn

 I get served, kicked to the curb, still my fate may be deserved

 I need to teach my eyes to look deep down inside

 And not be hypnotized by a wolf in sheep's disguise

 I've been stabbed by a smile and I blabbed like a child

 Grabbed and thrown into the pile, then labeled and filed

 Too many evils that makeup can conceal

 Got to dig down a little deeper if you want to see what's real

 The body only is transportation for the soul

 While the heart is like fine wine; it is only faces that grow old

(3) PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 Perfect imperfections... Perfect imperfections

 I always tried to show you the best of me

 Sure, I may have lied about the rest of me

 I should have given me whole for scars make love real

 What we can't control is what seals the deal

 The sharing of fears and weaknesses helps manifest

 Lovers from friends; can lead to holding each other at night

 When you don't want the day to end...

 And I don't want this day to end...

 I long to see your face in the rising sun

 I long to hold you dear because you're the one

 I find I found I failed this great test of me

 I should have told you all about my history

 With this new day comes a new way for you and for me

 In this new light will come tonight as we have much to discuss.

(4) AS I PLAY

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 Face yourself before you face the sea

 Might be the best piece of advice anyone has given to me

 For that's when you can rest in peace with a satisfied soul

 That can then fly away free... fly away free

 So I pass the baton on stage with the wave of my wand

 Watch my arm when you see my guitar; I'm a singer and here's my song

 And as I play... I want you to sing along:

 Face yourself before you face the sea

 I know who's next and I'm pretty sure I won't get fooled again

 I'm the pinball wizard, the true happy jack, and I play the same old game.

(5) CLEAN WIPE TO THE SLATE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 As you're getting sleepy in your bed

 Busy staring at the walls

 My head is still spinning

 As I'm pacing up and down the halls

 I just need one more line, only one more verse

 And when I finally fall asleep it only gets worse

 Yea lately I've been losing faith

 Been having trouble thinking straight

 What I thought I'd found has been misplaced

 What I've been giving out... Well, I finally got a taste

 When I woke up I couldn't see my face

 Time to take a clean wipe to the slate

 The past has now been erased

 No right path to follow, no lines left to trace

 I see no yellow lines on the highway

 I've done it your way now I'll try it my way

 There's a road not yet paved in stone

 No one left to follow when you're alone

 No shepherd to guide you, no shadows to hide you

 No need to ask directions when you're heading home

 Every sign you've seen has led you astray

 When you stuck out your thumb no one was going your way

 The highway you stand upon winds so violently

 And looks so long; you've just gotta be strong

 Keep writing and singing your song

 Time to take a clean wipe to the slate.

(6) LOW DOWN

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 He was feeling low, a little down on his luck

 For he didn't know which way was up

 Low down... Low down... Low down

 They built him up so they could knock him down

 Since chastising him is what they rallied around

 He got pushed down, white washed and covered in snow

 By the neighborhood bully right inside of his home

 Seems like there was no escape since he didn't feel safe

 That's just the price he pays for walking home all alone.

(7) IT IS YOUR TURN

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 If you don't know yet who I am

 Don't worry, that will change

 I am a very simple man

 Both on and off this stage

 My life's work and my fun are one

 That's why I am so happy

 We all regret something we've done

 Won't let that entrap me

 I just look ahead and never behind

 Helps keep me from wasting all my time

 Best for your body, soul and your mind

 Can't press fast forward... I can't hit rewind

 Leave something they will remember you by

 Like those who were the first to fly

 Or the first man on the moon

 Now it's your turn, what will you do?

 You won't find me living in the past

 Too much to do, time runs by so fast

 We never know how long it'll last

 So little sand in this hour glass.

(8) TRENDING

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 But for all the wrong reasons

 Everybody's googling me

 Looks like it's now open season

 It's hunting time

 Must be a slow day for the media

 I found five more lies on Wikipedia

 I've been good in all my wheelings and dealings

 I've done the best I could

 Yet when I bet red the little ball landed on black

 Just like I kinda knew it would

 So if karma cares about my feelings

 I paid it forward, now I ask for some of it back

 I'm due for some good luck, sincerely I believe

 I am that diamond in the rough and the needle in a haystack.

(9) CARRY ME

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 Plugging and prodding, reeling and seething

 Feeling I'm rotting, this air's not for breathing

 These words aren't for speaking, not worth writing

 Nor worth reading; so I shall burn this paper

 Watch me light it, turn it into kindling

 At least then I'll have fire as daylight is dwindling

 I crawl through the mire; the willows are weeping

 Entrapped within this still air, my fears are creeping

 As self-doubt has joined us, compressed into one

 When words of hurt define us, water and dirt turn to mud

 Surviving until daybreak, the fresh sunlight of dawn

 Here lies my only escape, giving strength to carry on.

(10) OASIS

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 Can you feel a dark entity clutching hold of your sanity

 Creating such calamity for you and all of your family?

 Chasing the mirage of an oasis, a paradise you think is real

 Yet all of us who wear our real faces acknowledge wounds won't heal

 Yet dying is not healing with so much left to live

 Hiding all the pain you're feeling, holding on to what you should give

 Chasing the mirage of an oasis... Chasing the mirage of an oasis

 Chasing the mirage of an oasis... Chasing the mirage of an oasis.

(11) END OF THE ROAD

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

 I saw the light burning in your eyes; that alone is no surprise

 I followed you... when you said "Yes," a bitter part of me died

 Lead me to the end of the road where the sun sets down

 To the end of the road where true happiness is found

 To the end of the road on the other side of town

 To the end of the road to where they finally lay me down

 So many roads that I've walked down, lying in the street

 In the unswept corners is where the dirt hides

 Where many people and things give you a ride

 My shoes are wearing out, almost time for another pair

 But I'll wear the ones I've got until I get there...

 Until I get there...

 Now I see the light burning in your eyes; following you

 I no longer live a lie; on the dark path I have found my guide.

(12) RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

 I don't read the paper, hell I don't even watch the news

 Everyone's used to horror and everyone's got the blues

 Always another plane crash or gunman on a rage

 I never pick up the paper unless it's lining for a cage

 I used one for my birdcage and my bird spoke of death and hate

 I wish I'd used the comics... But I realized this too late

 The worst is on the cover, seen by children of every age

 If I was editor, I'd put the good things on the front page!

 Then maybe it'd rub off and people would treat each other kind

 Have you heard the expression, 'out of sight and out of mind'?

 When violence is on TV, then children will play with guns

 Yet when they're watching Sesame Street, that's when they have fun

 I'm moving to the mountains so I can watch the trees

 Where you don't have any doors and you don't have any keys

 House of wood, bed of straw; when I see a pig

 It won't remind me of the LAW!

 I won't use no roads—I'll set off on my own course

 Trading my ford for a six pack, a carton, and a horse

 I took that walk through the wilderness to escape a world of lies

 I proposed to Mother Nature but I only heard her sigh...

 Felt the swaying of the trees as I walked on fallen leaves

 She reminded me of the death of everything that breathes

 There are those who try to play God, shoot everything that moves

 The fact that men can make rifles is the only thing it proves

 I traded my gun for a camera—that should come as no surprise

 A deer I watched drinking from a stream...

 I shot him right between the... eyes

 Now it lives on forever, captured in a picture that won't fade.

COLLABORHYTHM COLLABTUNES
SONG LIST 4
A TRAVELER IN THE DISTANCE

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST FOUR
This song list enters explicitly dangerous emotional territory. Unlike previous lists that circle heartbreak or longing, Song List 4 walks directly into death, self‑destruction, despair, violence, addiction, and existential collapse. Several songs contain imagery and narratives that may be distressing or triggering, particularly for listeners with a history of depression, suicidal ideation, or trauma.

This list contains themes including:
Explicit suicide ideation and graphic self‑harm imagery (One Slip of the Knife)
Death, corpses, graveyards, and fixation on mortality
Hopelessness, nihilism, and worthlessness
Addiction (alcohol, cigarettes, intoxication as coping)
Emotional numbness, dissociation, and depersonalization
Depression masked as philosophy or acceptance
Repeated references to failure, being “too late,” or having no escape
War, fallen soldiers, and collective trauma
Spiritual abandonment and loss of faith
Manipulation, powerlessness, and inability to break cycles
Social alienation and being treated as expendable (“pawn,” “concrete people”)
Romantic despair that curdles into self‑loathing
Political disillusionment and moral injury (Fight for Peace)

⚠️ STRONG CONTENT WARNING:
One Slip of the Knife includes direct references to suicide, blades, blood, and death, presented in a stark, narrative form. This song alone may be unsafe for some audiences.

Other tracks (Stranded, Overrated, Maybe Someday, Pretty Toys) portray prolonged depression, emotional decay, and the normalization of despair. There is little resolution offered — survival is implied, not promised.

This list may be especially difficult if you struggle with:
Suicidal thoughts or self‑harm urges
Depression or addiction recovery
Grief involving violent or sudden death
Existential dread or loss of meaning
Feeling trapped in cycles you can’t break
Political or moral burnout
Feeling unseen, disposable, or already “counted down”

These songs are not passive background music. They confront the listener, sometimes aggressively, sometimes quietly — but always without flinching.
Listener discretion is strongly advised. If you are in a vulnerable mental state, consider skipping this list or listening with support. This is the record where the clouds don’t just fall —
they crush.

(1) FALLEN CLOUDS
by William Elmore & Tom Jensen

The stories told beside a campfire 
so many years ago
Still echo through the canyons
melt the newly fallen snow

The legend of great heroes 
now rest upon the stars
Along the craters of the moon 
lay dark and blemished scars

There's no one here 
to judge the living
Or sort through the dead
No one here to dictate terms
Nor record what was said

The laws of these lands 
has not been etched in stone
The king who holds the scepter 
can still be overthrown

Hanging clouds drift above 
after the battle in the sky
Fallen soldiers through love and war 
each one picking sides

So many wandering souls
Set adrift way up high
Listen through the canyons
We hear another deep sad sigh

You can never see their face
They can never find their place

When lightning strikes 
The fire runs wild

Falling raindrops through the sky…
Fallen clouds…
Fallen

(2) STRANDED
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Hanging by a rope
We each cling to hope
Stranded on an island
Where screams fall silent

Giant crashing waves
No hope of being saved
Sailor standing on a dock
Sunrise is his clock

The moon rising overhead
The sailor falls dead 
The tide comes rolling in
The cycle ends
A new one begins

(3) COMING OF FALL
by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

There's a man too wobbly to stand
On the topside ledge of a mountain

Sitting... searching for the truth
For some worldly proof 
Of an eternal fountain

ooh

Kneeling...
He stares at his withered hands
All the while peeking 
Over his shoulder

Feebly he attempts to stand
Sensing Northern winds 
Blowing colder

ooh

Through a clear sky 
he enters into a haze
With wrinkles around his eyes 
He gazes
To the west

But he forgets although he tries
He numbers his time in minutes not days
He wonders if time will let him save
But now the past has died...

The sun sets over a distant horizon
The calming darkness begins to call...
A breath of October quietly exhaled
There is no mistaking the coming of fall

There's no mistaking
There's no mistaking
There no mistaking
The coming of...
Fall

(4) BREAKING THE CHAINS 
by Tiffany Anne & Tom Jensen

Out in the distance 
I think I hear someone 
Calling my name
I guess even here I am still not alone

To think that solitude
Was the reason I came
To be out here so far from home

No matter where you go
Something or someone will find you
You'll never be able to break every chain
There is always one that will bind you

Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try to break the chain

Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try 
But some things will never change

Out in the distance
I think I hear someone 
Calling my name
I guess even here
I am still not alone

To think that solitude
Was the reason I came
To be out here so far from home

No matter where you go
Something or someone will find you
You'll never be able to break every chain
There is always one that will bind you

Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try to break the chain

Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try 
But some things will never change 

(5) ONE SLIP OF THE KNIFE
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Whenever you feel down
When in your mind you feel truly alone
Take a walk among the dead
Read each name upon each stone

If your eyes don't change
Join them in name join them in spirit
Be one and the same

From some pains you can never run away
Though sometimes forgotten 
-- the scars will always stay
For sometimes it seems like there's no escape

And yet all it takes is one simple mistake
To burn down the mansion you built 
To knock the clown off of his stilts

But don't let your judgment fail you
Know what you're finding before it's found
Don't ever let your cross nail you
A weight so heavy it'll drag you down

And when your inner voice 
seems to have no sound
And all this pain builds up inside
You are here alone - with no one around
One thought stalks you: 
there's nowhere left to hide...

And on the table lies a 12-inch blade.
As night creeps in as black as a spade

Would it really matter?
One slip of the knife?
Would anyone notice 
-- a worthless life?

She lies on the floor
Her last thought so guilted
Clutching a rose now fallen and wilted

(6) OVERRATED
by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

It's all the same 
yet so much has changed
Since ten years ago

There's so much I've learned 
but still I've returned
To what I used to know

New strangers appear
Old friends disappear
For some reason I've let them go
So simply stated:
My book no one's read it…
My life story nobody knows

Though my cover is quite plain 
my text is full and rich
Be it fact or fiction
Who knows which is which?

I fake my happiness, hold back my tears
So I appear elated
It's best that I hide behind these hollow eyes
While I'm intoxicated

It's all the same yet so much has changed
Feeling high, then feeling low
I've visited here and I've traveled there
But what have to show

It's all the same 
yet so much has changed
Since ten years ago

There's so much I've learned 
but still I've returned
To what I used to know

New strangers appear
Old friends disappear
For some reason I've let them go

So simply stated
Life's too complicated
Tired of telling my tale of woe

It's suddenly so clear to me
That I may never be
What I want to be
So hopefully being the best
Is overrated…….Overrated

(7) MAYBE SOMEDAY 
by Bryan Magsayo & Tom Jensen

Maybe someday all my wounds will mend
When I got drawers on my chin and I'm wearing Depends
I've tried everything but this feeling won't end
No wonder darkness has slowly become my best friend

Confusion is my brother; I'm the son of desperation
Lost is my desire and I'm still searching for motivation
Every morning I wake up and I pray I can stay in bed
Sleep can be so peaceful and so good for the head

I've put off everything off until the end of time
My friends think they're psychics trying to read my mind
I want to scream at them even though they're being kind

(8) FIRST PLACE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Dooo

Hey look at me...
I'm still laughing and joking
Even though I quit smoking
While I was working I was thinking
I'm so glad that I gave up drinking

Listen to me speak...
Well I guess the first place to start
Would be to tell you I got love in my heart
(love in my heart)

For a heart without love 
is a glove without a hand
Or a brain without a mind
A mind that can't understand
Or ears that can't hear 
this song that I sing
Or a tongue that won't taste 
these chocolates that I bring

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Hey look at me...
Well I guess once when I lost my way
Here's another fact
Is that I can't really say
I ever really fully came back

Listen to me speak...
Just what is this
To have to come back to?
In what was once such a sacred place
Now lies a land of ruin

Where even the sky
Seems to burn my eyes
As I wash my face
In this dirty pool

I thought I'd been freed… 
Now I see I was a fool
Poor hurried me… 
Following the rules I learned in school

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

For a heart without love 
is a glove without a hand
Or a brain without a mind
A mind that can't understand

Or ears that can't hear 
this song that I sing
Or a tongue that won't taste 
these chocolates that I bring

(Oh Yeah!)
Woo hoo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

(9) SLEEPWALKERS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

When they're playing chess with you...
The game never lasts very long
Still haven't got a clue... why do you...
Why do you smile when you take a pawn?

Then their bishop overtakes your knight
When he wasn't even dressed to fight
Soon their queen upends your rook
Before you could even look

Another smile...
your knight just claimed a pawn
But now... 
now your little horsie's gone
He didn't run away... 
he just got sleighed
As the king of your castle 
he numbers his days

Yeah, you're wondering and pondering 
As you're endlessly wandering 
on and on and on...

And you're scribbling and scrabbling 
Along the chessboard of life 
feeling you're just a pawn

Sleepwalkers
Sleepwalkers

You just made a list of things 
that you need to say
About yourself, about the world 
and all its ways

Sometimes you think that 
it's a lie that hard work pays
Now that everything has been numbered 
- yes even your days

Why is everyone... 
sleepwalking around this globe…
This giant wheel?
Seems as a whole we can no longer feel 
While deep in this slumber

For the gift of the presence of love 
we no longer hunger
When our dreams are gone... 
yet we still walk on and on and on and on...

You just made a list of the things 
that you need to say
And it 'tis just one...
There's hardly no time left for anyone

As names and faces keep fading farther away
Still, you know you've got so much to give... 
so with this guilt you live

I'm sorry, but there's just too few hours in a day
You find your precious time becomes taken up 
Oh look now how... You're so easily led astray...
How'd your life become this way? 

(sleepwalkers)
Is this what you say?
(sleepwalkers)

While you're wondering and pondering 
As you're wandering on and on and on and on...
As you're scribbling and scrabbling 
Along the chessboard of life 
feeling you're just a pawn

sleepwalkers
sleepwalkers

(10) PRETTY TOYS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

With every hurled stone that is cast
I walk one step closer to becoming broken
With every coming sunset I manage to outlast
Ahead lies a sunrise by which I may not be awoken

With every cigarette I smoke
I see another small sign of cancer
With every question that I ask
I find I come closer to the answer

As I look within your empty eyes
You create a new fantasy to fill the void
You play some music to cover your sighs
and fill your room with all those pretty toys...

Hey rich girl...
Throw the keys to your Mercedes down to me
You'll have to leave it all behind 
if you really want to be free 

I look at my hands 
they're all beaten and torn
Sometimes you must get dirty 
if you want to be reborn

Hey rich girl... 
tell me what did you see 
when you traveled the world?
Did you do all you were told 
like daddy's good little girl?

Come away with me 
and maybe I'll write you a song
I've come here to teach you 
that everything they taught you was wrong...

Hey rich girl... Just what makes you think 
Father always knows best?
Sure you've found some answers 
but you still must take the test

With every hurled stone that you cast
You walk one step closer to becoming broken
With every coming sunset you manage to outlast
Ahead lies a sunrise by which you may not be awoken

With every cigarette you smoke
You see another small sign of cancer
With every question that you ask
You come much closer to the answer

Look within your empty eyes
A new fantasy to fill the void?
Play some music to cover your sighs
Fill your room with more pretty toys...

Pretty toys…
Pretty toys…
Pretty toys

(11) CONCRETE PEOPLE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen 

Concrete people like to hide behind gold
Concrete people will collect what they're owed
Concrete people leave you out in the cold
Concrete people hate most to be exposed

Concrete people ain't got no souls
They traded them in for high priced clothes
Concrete people with their hearts of stone
Even sold out my beloved rock and roll

Concrete people never hang their heads low
Concrete people never let their feelings show
Concrete people keep their statues in rows
Concrete people always reap what they sow

But me, I ain't no concrete man
I mess things up every now and then
I slave for those who do me wrong
And I find relief in the rock and roll song

Rock and roll song
Rock and roll song

Concrete people think I'm wasting my time
Concrete people never step out of line
Concrete people hate the shirt that I wear
Concrete people find me too hard to bare

Concrete people ain't got no souls ...
They traded them in for high priced clothes
Concrete people with their hearts of stone
Even sold out my beloved rock and roll

And me, I ain't no concrete man 
I mess things up every now and then
Slave for those who do me wrong
And I find relief in a rock 'n roll song

Rock and roll song
Rock and roll song
Rock and roll song

(12) FIGHT FOR PEACE 
by Tom Jensen & Lynette

Come now citizens of the world
Let us knock down this mental wall
Time to let a new flag unfurl
Large enough to cover us all

Endless sea of humanity
That will bridge both the land and shore
Become one global family
Let us not divide anymore

Realize difference makes us great
Opposed to tearing us apart
I swear to you it's not too late
And all it takes is one to start

It could be you who makes a stand
One burning monk can end a war
Wouldn't fight in Iraq...I ran
Didn't deem it worth fighting for

Unlock the door you have the key
Finally let this madness cease
Everybody say it with me
What is my belief? Can’t fight for peace

Come now citizens of the world
Let us knock down this mental wall
Time to let a new flag unfurl
Large enough to cover us all

Endless sea of humanity
That will bridge both the land and shore
Become one global family
Let us not divide anymore

Realize difference makes us great
Opposed to tearing us apart
I swear to you it's not too late
And all it takes is one to start

Unlock the door you have the key
Finally let this madness cease
Everybody say it with me
What is my belief? Can’t fight for peace

The songs explore themes of struggle, self-discovery, and reflection. They depict emotional journeys, from loneliness and loss to the pursuit of meaning, with a focus on personal growth and societal critique.
Love & loss, hope & despair, personal struggle & societal critique, and reflection & renewal

SONG LIST 5 
LOVE WITHOUT A DOUBT

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST FIVE
This list leans romantic, poetic, even whimsical — but the ache is always underneath. 
These songs are full of people waiting, wishing, imagining lives they don’t have yet.

It’s a delicate, vulnerable group of pieces, but if you read between the lines, you’ll find:
Longing. 
Unmet needs. 
Fragile hope. 
Dreams held just a bit too tightly.

Themes and triggers include:
Idealized, one-sided or uncertain love
Obsession disguised as devotion
Emotional unavailability and fantasized relationships
Sleeplessness, waiting, intense inner monologue
Insecurity about timing, fate, or emotional reciprocation
Trauma held gently but not processed (especially in Fresco, Dreamland, Still Thinking of You Tonight)
A persistent desire to be seen, needed, chosen
Self-worth tied to someone else's gaze or response
Escapism into dreams, drawings, poems, fantasies
Deep fear of abandonment or being "too late"
The illusion of control in love

Some songs play with romanticized pain. They spin aching into art (Fresco), sadness into sweetness (Dreamland), but the loneliness still leaks through. Others, like See This Thru or In the Pouring Rain, hold emotional dependency so closely it blurs with sincerity. “I long to have you” becomes “I need you to breathe.”

If you’ve ever:
Pined for someone in silence
Convinced yourself that dreams would suffice
Felt like you loved more than they did
Waited by the phone or beneath the moonlight
Held on because you couldn't bear to let go
—then you might find pieces of yourself here. But it may also hurt to revisit them.

Special caution for:
Unbalanced emotional investment
Quiet grief, nostalgia, or over-romanticizing loss
Emotional regression (clinging to teddy bears, imagined rescue, “warm shoulders”)
Hope as denial
Building identities around someone who isn’t present

These songs are gentle — but gentleness doesn’t mean safety. Sometimes soft words carry sharp edges. Be mindful when listening or reading.

(1) NIGHT OUT
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Come on check it out!
One, two, three, four...

Tonight is my ego's night out...
I finally gotta get it all out...
Be out on my own
Though I can't go this way all alone

At least I'll need a friend
Maybe it could lead to something more
(who knows?)
I just need this to end
Give me a new set of unopened doors

I'm ready to go...
I'm ready to go...
I'm ready to go explore...

I don't care if it's a cave
Nor do I mind a maze
I'm tired of reading the signs
Since they all point the same way...

Far away...
Far away...
Far away from this place

Whoo...
Yeah
Come on!

Hoo...
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Check it out...

Tonight is my ego's night out
I finally gotta get it all out

Be out on my own
Though I don't wanna go 
this way alone
Don't wanna go this way all alone
No...
Night out

Don't wanna go this way
Don't wanna go this way
Don't wanna go this way all alone
Night out

Don't wanna go this way
Don't wanna go this way
Don't wanna go this way all alone
Night out

(2) WORTH THE WAIT
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

By the time I got to my paper
My pen was too tired to write
My eyes they started closing
And then I lost my sight

I don't quite remember 
Just what I was thinking of
It had something to do with you
And it had something to do with love

Blah blah blah blah…
The words all sound the same
Ha ha ha ha 
Even silence sings your name
Na na na na…..
There's no one that I blame
La La La La ……
I'm just so happy that you came

Some say that absence
Makes the heart grow fonder
But I wasn't waiting 'round much longer

And though I've never been good 
at predicting fate
You were well worth the wait

Now that I've grown 
I've learned how to play the game
To finally win in the end
I found myself being tamed

Now that I've grown
There’s nothing I can't take
And since I learned how to bend 
I know I’ll never break

Some say that absence
Makes the heart grow fonder
But I wasn't waiting 'round much longer

And though I've never been good 
at predicting fate
You were well worth the wait

(3) IN THE POURING RAIN
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Look into my heart
Look inside your soul
Do you see they are the same?

Have you ever gazed beneath my eyes?
And what I attempt to hide...
Just like a children's game?

My emotions tell me
To tell you
I love you
But my mind is scared of the pain

What if when I tell you
You're my sunshine
It begins to rain?

Since I fell in love with you
I've never been the same
When the world is quiet
I still hear your name

When I am by your side
I feel no pain
I am warm and dry
In the pouring rain

Look into my heart
Take a look into my soul
Can you feel the warmth of a fire...
Burning out of control?

My emotions tell me
To tell you
I love you
But my mind is scared of the pain

What if when I tell you
You're my sunshine
It begins to rain?

Since I fell in love with you
I've never been the same
When the world is quiet
I still hear your name

When I am by your side
I feel no pain
I am warm and dry
In the pouring rain

I could never lose you as a friend
Nor could I break my heart again
My only fear is if I wait
Then maybe it would be too late

Since I fell in love with you
I've never been the same
When the world is quiet
I still hear your name

When I am by your side
I feel no pain
I am warm and dry
In the pouring rain

(4) TONIGHT'S MOONLIGHT 
by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

Orange is the color of the trees
At least the ones that still have leaves
In the coolness of the night
I watch a gentle breath take flight
I watch it vanish out of sight
In the glimmering, glittering moonlight

I'll never shiver in the cold
For now I have someone to hold
In the coolness of the night
The skyward birds are taking flight
Soon I’ll sit holding my new love tight
In the glimmering, glittering moonlight

It’s through your calming eyes
That I become hypnotized
In the coolness of the night
My senses, they are taking flight
It’s you who takes me to new heights
In the glimmering, glittering moonlight

The sun could sleep for seven years
And still I wouldn't freeze
You've become my refreshing
Reassuring summer’s breeze

Sitting here alone without you 
I’m just part of the whole
But when we are together 
I feel both my heart and soul
Anxiously I’m waiting here
My heart, it skips a beat
It seems like an eternity,
These seconds before we meet
Before we reunite…
In the glittering moonlight

Eyes are magic windows
That look inside the mind
Through yours I see us together
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Beneath tonight's moonlight

(5) FRESCO
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

I've been waiting for a night like tonight
For so very, very long
Sitting here studying the portrait of my life
Wondering just where the artist went wrong

So why does my sketch in black and white
Contain so many deep, dark shades of gray?
My life before today 
had left me feeling sad and blue

When I'm with you I never want to say goodbye
To someone so beautiful that the angels sigh
I think of you in thoughts so kind
I painted your picture, it took me some time

You are the one that makes my life worth living
Yours is the last face I see before I fall asleep
You'll never be the one to break my heart
Never leave me alone to weep

Now all thoughts of retracing my past
They have become erased
And I live within your eyes
With each new line I'm redefined
Every time I draw your face

When I'm with you I never want to say goodbye
To someone so beautiful that the angels sigh
I think of you in thoughts so kind
I painted your picture, I could paint it blind

I drink to your health as I raise my glass
Toasting to a future and time 
that has not yet passed

As time crawls by and I stare above
I believe only in you - my muse - my love

Now all thoughts of retracing my past
They have become erased
And I live within your eyes
With each new line I'm redefined
Every time I draw your face

When I'm with you I never want to say goodbye
To someone so beautiful that the angels sigh
I think of you in thoughts so kind

(6) SEE THIS THRU
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

You know I dream about you
When I'm asleep and wide awake
And you know I can tell 
when you're dreaming
Cause I start to quiver and shake

Don't you know I'm thinking of you
On these empty and lonely nights
Yea I can tell what you're thinking
Cause I always got you here inside

I miss you 
I want to have you here
So I can kiss you
Don't ever worry my dear 
I can't resist you 
Cause you're the love of my life
And it's so clear

I long to have you 
I long to hold you
I'd like to see this thru
No one else out there
Makes me feel the way you do

You know I don't have to say
When you're away I toss and turn
And that's alright
Yea that's okay
‘Cause tomorrow's a brand new day

Don't you know I'm thinking of you
On these empty and lonely nights
Yea I can tell what you're thinking
Cause I always got you here inside

I miss you 
I want to have you here
So I can kiss you
Don't ever worry my dear 
I can't resist you 
Cause you're the love of my life
And it's so clear

I long to have you 
I long to hold you
I'd like to see this thru
No one else out there
Makes me feel the way you do

I miss you
I want to have you here
So I can kiss you
Don't ever worry my dear
I can't resist you
Cause you're the love of my life
And it's so clear

I long to have you
I long to hold you
I'd like to see this thru
No one else out there
Makes me feel the way you do

I wanna hold you 
I wanna have you
I'd like to see this thru

(7) IT COULD BE YOU 
by Tom Jensen & Sandy

It could be you… Who makes my life complete
It could be you… The one who saves me from defeat

It could be you… The heart that sets my soul afire
It could be you…The one thing on this earth which I desire

It could be you… The reason I stay awake all night
It could be you… The best reason for my eyes to have sight

It could be you… Why all the others could never stay
It could be you…How I know everything’ll be okay

It could be you…. Why I’m blind toward other girls
It could be you…. Why I’m not deceived by shining pearls

It could be you… How I know that the best is inside
It could be you… The one single truth in a great ball of lies

It could be you… Why I’d let a good thing go
It could be you… That tells me everything I need to know

It could be you… For whom I’d risk all that I’ve gained
It is you… Why I’ll never be the same

It is true that I love you...
That is this song's new refrain

It could be you....
It could be you...
Yes it is you

(8) DREAMLAND
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

If my heart was empty 
Then this paper would be blank

But my pen seems to move all by itself 
And I have you to thank

Silence isn't golden
when it's interrupting you
As I find myself despising 
Everyone who isn't you

I feel my heart beat faster 
with every word you say
The hours pass like seconds 
And then they slip away

When I swim in the ocean of sorrow 
You know what words to say
To make me believe that tomorrow 
Will somehow go my way

We all need an anchor 
So we don't float down stream
I'm adrift all by myself 
And you're the best I've ever seen

Alone we'll never make it 
Unless we form a team
But if you catch me sleeping 
Don't disturb me from this dream

I'd rather be in dreamland
Where I can call you my own
Then be awake for a thousand lifetimes
Sad and all alone

Sad and all alone
(sad and all alone)
Sad and all alone
(sad and all alone)

If my heart was empty 
Then this paper would be blank

But my pen seems to move all by itself 
And I have you to thank

(9) WARM SHOULDER
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Day dreaming of you that's what I do
To pass each day that you're away

While my arms are empty
My head is swimming
For my heart is full 
of the love I'm giving

For every time I fear a fall
Or any time I feel a fear at all
Sweet memories of you I recall

Hugging them like a little boy
Hugs his teddy bear
Hugging them like a little girl
Hugs her doll

Whatever you need me to do
Just say it
Whatever song you want sung
I'll sing it

If you ever come crying to me
My shoulder will dry your tears
Whenever darkness frightens you
I'll be the light that calms your fears

Whenever you find you've fallen down
I'll be right there to help you back up
When your glass feels half empty inside
I'll come running on over to fill your cup

Whatever you need me to do
Just tell me what it is 
and I'll sure do it for you...

Whatever words you need to hear 
to calm your fears
I'll be right there 
to say them to you...

Day dreaming of you… That's what I do
To pass each day… That you're away

While my arms are empty
My head is swimming
For my heart is full 
of the love I'm giving

(10) STILL THINKING OF YOU TONIGHT
by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

Lately it's been getting 
The better of me
Wondering how long
It'll take 'til she sees

That we're soul mates
If there ever was, is or could be
For I feel in my heart
One day she'll think differently

So patiently... 
So very patiently...
I bide my time...
Within this endless rhyme:

These feelings inside 
I can no longer fight 
Can you tell, does it show… 
I’m still thinking of you tonight 

So patiently... 
So very patiently...
I bide my time...
Within this endless rhyme:

Searching in my soul 
Trying to find my inner light 
Sitting here by myself… 
I’m still thinking of you tonight 

I sit here and then 
My pen begins to write 
I just want you to know… 
I’m still thinking of you tonight 

So patiently... 
So very patiently...
I bide my time...
Within this endless rhyme:

Waiting for you here 
With just this line that I recite 
Nothing's changed how I feel… 
I’m still thinking of you tonight 
I’m still thinking of you tonight 

(11) WHAT WE SHARE
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

A passing daydream floated by
I plucked it clean out of thin air
Only an hour ago I heard your voice

And at this moment..... 
It felt like you were here...
So many precious times... 
What I hold dear has disappeared

But to let someone 
so close to your heart 
Very few have ever dared... 
Share what we share

My memories are my company
Whenever I turn and you're not there
Wherever I come to find myself
I hold them tight... When I am scared

Then I feel a calmness in the air
Oh, how sweet the taste
As I stare into a beautiful daydream
I hear your voice, I see your face

Yes, I could spend just a day with you
That would be enough to see me through
All the anger and pain from the rest of the week

All the horror and madness that we must face
After an hour or two with you it has all been erased
So I've come up with a plan to get us through
Put your trust in me and I'll trust in you

My memories are my company
Whenever I turn and you're not there
Wherever I come to find myself
I hold them tight... When I am scared

Then I feel a calmness in the air
Oh, how sweet the taste
As I stare into a beautiful daydream
I hear your voice, I see your face

For I can take you to the place you see
We could both be there living in harmony
No longer would we have to search our memories
Together we can turn dreams into reality

My memories are my company
Whenever I turn and you're not there
Wherever I come to find myself
I hold them tight... When I am scared

Then I feel a calmness in the air
Oh, how sweet the taste
As I stare into a beautiful daydream
I hear your voice, I see your face

(12) HERE I AM
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

There's someone out there 
who is still an unknown mystery to me...
She's sitting and she's waiting...
just for our eyes to meet
Because she's been looking 
for all of her life to find a guy like me...

Oh won't she be so surprised
Oh, when she hears and sees...
that I don't have anyone 
to hold close or near and dear to me...

As I take her hand and whisper
Whisper in her ear so sweet:
Well, here I am
Here I am
(here I am)
(here I am)

Yes, my eyes are open
And now they're sparkling wide
Because my heart ain't broken
Though you can see right inside

And it's not a joke 
when I say I don't lie
You had me at hello 
with that look in your eye
Now here I am...

Here I am
(here I am)
(here I am)

Then I'd ask her all nice and polite:
Do you have any plans 
set aside for tonight?
What are you doing... 
For the rest of your life?
Because here I am
(here I am)

(Yes, here I am)
(here I am)
and here I am

(here I am)
Yes, here I am 

Here I am
(here I am)

Yes here I am
(here I am)

SONG LIST 6
UNDERTOWS AND AFTERGLOWS

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST SIX
This collection centers on departure, hesitation, and emotional fallout. These songs live in liminal spaces: trains pulling away, planes boarding, hearts half‑packed, promises already breaking before the goodbye is spoken. Much of the harm here is not explosive — it’s slow, deliberate, and quietly rationalized.

Themes and potential triggers include:
Emotional abandonment and unresolved goodbyes
Chronic loneliness and depersonalization (crowds, commutes, anonymity)
Romantic guilt and self‑awareness without repair
Breaking someone’s heart while convincing yourself it’s necessary
Fear of commitment and fear of staying — simultaneously
Moral resignation (“this is just how I am”)
Emotional manipulation framed as honesty
Quiet despair, numbness, and internalized shame
Spiritual emptiness and loss of direction
Age gaps, timing misalignment, and love denied by circumstance
The weight of leaving — places, people, versions of yourself
Repetition of harm without cruelty, but without courage either

Several tracks explore men who know they are hurting someone and proceed anyway, not out of malice, but inertia. Others sit with the aftermath — standing on platforms, staring through windows, realizing too late what was left behind.

There is no graphic content here — but the emotional impact is cumulative. This list may be difficult if you are sensitive to:
Being left without closure
Loving someone who chose motion over repair
Relationships where honesty replaces responsibility
Feeling interchangeable, forgotten, or “one more face”
Being promised safety by someone already halfway gone

These songs don’t scream. They board quietly, take their seat, and leave without looking back. Listener discretion is advised.

(1) DEAD SILENCE
by Justin Osowiecki Tom Jensen

I'm just another face
Here on the train
We fade, no names are exchanged
On the train

So close, so distant
Here on the train
No words, no words spoken
On our train

Whistle blows

On and off they flow
Dead silence all around
Empty eyes so cold
Dead silence surrounds me

Same suitcases, same routine
Nothing seems to change
Different faces, different names
Still nothing changes

Dead silence....

It's just another day
Here on the train

(2) NOW BOARDING
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Whenever I see a sign
That says "now boarding"
My heart begins to ache
And my body it starts hurting

The people have spoken and are speaking:
My oars are broken and my boat's leaking

Of course the rudder's bent
Fallen mast mis-shapen
I hold no more reservations
'Bout myself safely escaping

I lost the motor...it's a mile back under water
Yet the course I steered to here
It was completely chartered

I'm afraid I've never been good
Great or well-led in navigation
My nickname at a young age was
Captain Head Scratching Hesitation

(haha)

It's well-earned and much deserved
As I waited (waded) in the water
Yet never walked the shore

That's when I'd go sailing 
inside my mind
As I'd crash into icebergs 
every single time

Sure I break things... 
But at least they're mine
The passengers safely bail
I'm the one laying it on the line

My name will never be Jonah...
Not afraid of being a big white whale
Thus here I sit in this boat all alone
With no one to share or tell this tale...

Whenever I see a sign 
that says "now boarding"
My heart begins to ache 
and my body it starts hurting

Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo ooh hoo hoo

(3) LEAVING CALIFORNIA
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

This man from California
Said son, I've got to warn ya
This man from California
Said son, I've got to warn ya

I've ridden fast cars
and even faster girls
I mined for diamonds 
but only got fake pearls
I tried to make it on my own
But this is a crazy world

And there's an X on the map
Marking this as the place
To find either fame and fortune
Or else pain and disgrace

Sometimes even both
When everything's laid on the line
I could rent it or lease it
But it could never be mine
It'll never be all mine

He said he's leaving California
Leaving in the morning
He told me I should follow
He said son, "This is my only warning" 

Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

And there's an X on the map
Marking this as the place
To find either fame and fortune
Or else pain and disgrace

Sometimes even both
When everything's laid on the line
I could rent it or lease it
But it could never be mine
It'll never be all mine...

He said he's leaving California
Leaving in the morning
He told me I should follow
He said son, "This is my only warning" 

And I'm leaving California
And I'm leaving California
And I'm leaving California
Yes, I'm leaving California

(4) BUTTERFLY
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

You're my butterfly
In this cocoon you're encased
And I wish for nothing but to 
release you from this maze
And from this place, yeah

With all my heart 
I wish for you to become 
what you were born to be someday
As I wait for you to fly away
I'd love to see that day

Because you're my butterfly
I long to watch you gently glide
See you go gracefully floating by
It would be no lie 
that I'd be so mesmerized by

Your beauty and your grace
That would put such a smile 
On my face, yeah 
What else could I say?
I'd love to see that day

Because you're my butterfly
In this cocoon you're encased
And I wish for nothing 
but to release you
from this maze 
and from this place

(5) NATURE OF MAN
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

You set her up for a fall
And she wasn't ready to be let down
You left her feeling so small
She felt like she got put down

For soon she sees
It was never meant to be
As so painfully
She finds out about your history

It's not a name
It's not a face 
It's not a time
It's not a place

It's just the nature of man
She could never understand

It's not a game 
and no one's to blame
But she feels the shame 
and carries the weight

It's just the nature of man
She could never understand
It's just the primal urge
It's the way of the earth

A thrill can come in many forms
And you can get it just about anywhere
When you go looking for fun
You just might find that fun someone 
if you really don't care

And soon she will see
It was never meant to be
As so painfully
She finds out 
about your ways and means

It's not a name
It's not a face 
It's not a time
It's not a place

It's just the nature of man
She could never understand

It's not a game 
and no one's to blame
But she feels the shame 
and carries the weight

It's just the nature of man
She could never understand
It's just the primal urge
It's the way of the earth

(6) MELODY OF SORROW
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I just found an old poem
That I once wrote for you
I'll add it to the rest of the pile
Of dreams that never came true

To be without love is a lonely place
But it's not worth waking up
With someone in the morning
Just to see someone else's face

She said either she's too old
Or I'm too young
When I told her she was the one
So our song of love was never sung

And now this melody of sorrow I softly hum

Age is just a number
That should come second to your heart's hunger

She told me I was born too late
When she asked me about my age
I asked her about fate

Just snap your fingers
Say the word
And I'll give my life to you

You've seen my eyes and felt my love
You know these words I speak are true

I've walked a winding road
To find the light ahead

I've done all that I can do
I've offered you my heart
Poured my soul on the ground
The rest is up to you

And if you tell me no
I will write once again
As I will be happy 
if you just be my friend

Captured in rhyme 
your memory will live on
As you will be remembered 
long after you're gone

With or without you
I will have to be strong
If it is not meant to be
This will just be a song

And now this melody of sorrow
I softly hum

(7) COME FOR A RIDE 
by Bryan Magsayo & Tom Jensen

Hey baby, 
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
Sometime, somewhere you’ll see it too

I tried to stay as long as I can
But you’ll find another to be your man
Someone to love you like I couldn’t do
One who brings candy and roses, too

Hey baby, 
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
I could never promise my love was true

I tried to stay as long as I can
But I cannot change the man I am
I won’t lead you on 
It’s too weary for the heart
I should have seen it coming 
Right from the start

Hey baby, 
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
Sometime, somewhere you’ll see it too

I tried to stay as long as I can
You’ll find another to be your man
Someone to love you like I couldn’t do
One who brings candy and roses, too

Hey baby, 
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own

I can never be the one for you
I could never promise my love was true

I tried to stay as long as I can
But I cannot change the man I am
I won’t lead you on 
It’s too weary for the heart
I should have seen it coming 
Right from the start

Hey baby, 
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you all alone

(8) WHERE I AM FROM
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Twenty years ago...

A young mother gave birth 
to a beautiful baby girl
Somewhere down east of San Juan 
and west of Santo Domingo

All of the gold of the world is what she was worth
Once born it was said that 
angels would follow her wherever she would go

Together they sailed up the North Atlantic Ocean
And far across the Sargasso Sea
As the ocean winds were blowing
They were blowing straight towards me

For a brand new start the sea did part
As the angels prayed for her return
While sitting in the dark awaiting a change of heart
Inside the church the candles still burned

When the angels tried to follow
They searched for but could not find her
At least that is how the story is told

On top of Pico Duarte the people still speak 
Of their great sorrow
How great things once were 
What they once had yet could not hold

Someone told me that if you listen by the ocean
You can hear the island cry
As if reminiscing a final parting
Without ever saying goodbye

Still others say that when the shores get windy
Down along the coast of the West Indies
The sky is calling for her to come home

It's been said that when the waves begin crashing
It is the island's way of asking
Why did this magical child ever leave her all alone?

Yet where I am from we often say
That your loss can be another's gain
Here it is sunny while somewhere there is rain

Let the winds cry
Let the ocean sigh
Let the angels fly
Let the island say goodbye
For they will never have this girl

Some may point to me and say I steal
Given time their pain will heal
Love knows no bounds...
Fate became sealed
I will always know just how I feel...

I wouldn't change it for the world

(9) HOW CAN YOU
by Bryan Magsayo & Tom Jensen

How can you live with yourself?
Do you pretend to be someone else?
When you wake up in the morning 
and you’re lying in bed
What do you feel, what goes on in your head?

Do you bury your conscience down below?
Please tell me because I need to know

How can you live with yourself?
You took my heart in your hands and you tore it in two
How can you sleep after the things that you do?

I loved you so much and did whatever you asked
When you told me you loved me you were wearing a mask

How can you live with yourself?
Do you pretend to be someone else?

Lying in bed your nightgown covered in lace
When you told me you were leaving I never saw your face
After all we been through you probably never even cried
And if you did your tears quickly dried

I’ll never know because your face you hide 
With every I love you another lie

How can you live with yourself?
Do you pretend to be someone else?

(10) RAINYDAY SUNSHINE
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

My life it would have been your shrine
If my ways had been refined
Before I looked into your big brown eyes
I never knew I was blind

‘Twas you who coulda seen me through
Over the only mountain that I’d yet to climb
I have only one path to take...
Try to walk a straight line this time

And it is you I'm still trying to find
My rainy day sunshine
Without you I may be just fine
But with you I'd be so much better 

It’s you, my rainy day sunshine
Who’s my every day valentine
The only one who could ever have changed
Both the seasons and the weather

I hope I’ll be all right in time
I'm praying someday I'm gonna find
You again and you’ll fill all this emptiness inside
We’ll rebuild this broken mind of mine

So now…it’s you I am trying to find
My rainy day sunshine

Without you I may be just fine
But with you I'd be so much better 
Yeah with you I'd be so much better

(11) BREAKING HER HEART
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Your heart breaks with every tender touch
You think to yourself
You don't love her all that much
The moon and the stars
She'd give them all to you
So with a tear in your eye you continue…

Skin so soft and light brown hair
She stares into your eyes without a single care
You have become her shelter from the rain
Yet while she's filled with love 
you're filled with pain...

Reality screams into your ear
So you try to collect yourself 
You try and calm your fears
How long can you play this game?
How much longer can you simply hold your shame?

Life is anything but a fairy tale
And before you pass sometimes you fail
They say it's better to have loved and to have lost
Then never have played so we pay the cost 

Every passing day you sink in sand
Becomes even harder when she holds onto your hand
You can't be the one who shatters her dreams
So you make her believe everything is as it seems

It's never easy when the time has come
It's never easy but you had your fun
Do not feel sorry for what you've done
For after the rain soon comes the sun

Life is anything but a fairy tale
And before you pass sometimes you fail
They say it's better to have loved and to have lost
Then never have played so we pay the cost

COLLABORHYTHM COLLABTUNES
SONG LIST 7
HIGH TIDES AND LANDSLIDES

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST SEVEN
This set is bruised. Unlike the sunlight and silver linings of previous lists, these songs don't flinch from damage. They sit in the wreckage: watching as love burns down, faith frays, promises splinter, and memory lies to your face with a crooked smile. Even when the tone is calm, the content is sharply personal and quietly devastating.

Themes and triggers include:
Grief for lovers who chose someone else
Emotional whiplash from betrayal by close partners
Desperation for meaning after abandonment
Persistent loneliness, unacknowledged by the one you waited for
Fixation on someone who no longer sees you
Alcohol abuse, barstool breakdowns, regret masked as charm
Yearning to be sculpted into someone worthy
Creative paralysis, trying to write someone out of your system
Collapse of romantic idealism
Ambiguous losses (someone left, or you left first — but it still broke you)
Losing your purpose in someone else's reflection
Fantasizing new love as a disguise for unspeakable pain
Faith crisis: asking for love but settling for "just be my friend"

Several songs teeter on the edge of emotional dependence, others unravel quietly into depression beneath poetic restraint. Dust to Dust brings a whiff of existential dread wrapped in nursery ash. Train and Little Bird disguise heartbreak as cleverness. Unity and Untitled Unlabeled ache with vulnerability dressed up as devotion — but you can hear the begging underneath.

If you've been left behind, gaslit, ghosted, or held a love that slowly soured in your hands — this list might cut.

These are trying times, as one song puts it. You are not alone.

Approach with care if any of the following are sensitive:
Romantic abandonment, especially with no closure
Gaslighting, manipulation disguised as artistry
Creative burnout and loss of identity
Unhealthy or codependent attachment
Being "inspired" by someone who hurt you
Bitterness around friendship vs. intimacy lines
Emotional numbness masquerading as strength

The pain here is dressed up in poetry — but it still bleeds through the page. You've been warned.

(1) BLESSING IN DISGUISE 
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Maybe you'll see him again 
when all is well
Up there in heaven 
or maybe down here in hell

There's no telling 
what the tide will bring to shore
No way to know if you'll meet again 
Once you walk out that door

Think of the one you loved 
whom you now despise
Believing that a heart grown cold 
is a heart grown wise

Yet before the flood Mother Nature sighs
For she holds a power that no man denies

Soaked to the bone 
as you're on your way home
With the umbrella that you hold 
at least you are not alone

Yet you're soaked to the bone 
as you're on your way home
With the umbrella that you hold 
at least you are not alone

Everything happens for a reason 
soon you will realize
That even your worst nightmare 
could be a blessing in disguise

And that after it rains the sun will rise
Allowing you to gaze up at brighter skies

Your soul will guide you 
when your heart tells you lies
Sometimes when you search 
you have to close your eyes

There is no such path 
straight as the crow flies
This journey you make 
is filled with lows and highs

Soaked to the bone 
as you're on your way home
With the umbrella that you hold 
at least you are not alone

Yet you're soaked to the bone 
as you're on your way home
With the umbrella that you hold 
at least you are not alone

So much for talking
You had better start walking
With the clouds rolling in 
pretty soon it'll pour

As all the dirt 
washes down the street
Like tears cried over a battle 
that was lost in defeat

Maybe you'll see him again 
when all is well
Up there in heaven 
or maybe down here in hell

There's no telling 
what the tide will bring to shore
No way to know if you'll meet again 
once you walk out that door

Soaked to the bone 
as you're on your way home
With the umbrella that you hold 
at least you are not alone

(2) FRAMES
by Jon Jacobs & Tom Jensen

One more beer
And then I'll head home
Unless she comes over her
Who wants to be alone?

One more story
This time I just can't resist
It's time to share my pain
And what I've been living with

Like the crooked picture
Which we once hung on the wall
When you're hanging by a nail
It's just a matter of time before you fall

So come on over here 
and pull up that chair
You'll get to learn why 
my glass is half-full of beer

Once I had a jealous girl
And she had a jealous mind
And we lived inside a jealous world
So thus she's no longer mine

Like the crooked picture
Which we once hung on the wall
When you're hanging by a nail
It's just a matter of time before you fall

Yet everyday she
Walks on by straight through
And every day I wait here
For here to act like she used to

However I never
Seem to catch her eye
Every day she looks down
And I think I know why

Like the crooked picture
Which we once hung on the wall
When you're hanging by a nail
It's just a matter of time before you fall

Every day is the day that she regrets
Treating me like we never met
Someday she'll agree
She messed up a good thing leaving me

In through a window
Out climbed a broken vow
Into this sacred house 
Where no one else was allowed

Like the crooked picture
Which we once hung on the wall
When you're hanging by a nail
It's just a matter of time before you fall

A matter of time before you fall

(3) UNITY
by Justin Justice, Lai Youttitham & Tom Jensen

Sometimes when I look into your eyes
I feel I've been reborn
And yet other times I can feel my heart become 
Colder, broken and torn

There is no greater pain 
than letting what you want
Slip right through you fingertips
Sometimes it hurts, sometime it haunts
But the burning in your heart still lingers
Much like the touch of her lips

What I feel I might not always say
But I need you tonight 
just as much as I needed you today
Like a river overflowing
I know that my love for you is still growing
Let us hope it never fades away
That is why I say…

Unity…you and me together
Soon we'll see if we can be 
Forever for, for one, for one another
Or else never will true love 
ever be discovered

Let me bend you and shape you…
Into…. what I want you…to be
A soul mate….a friend…
A lover of life for your whole life 
'til its end

My soul, conscience and my guide 
A true mirror to my inside
My eternal undying spring

Remember…
From nothing comes everything…
Comes everything

My delicate flower 
Giving me a garden in the wintery snow
Take me and show me 
Exactly where you would like to go

We both know that I'd follow 
just given the word
And as soon as I cried 
 From the years of lifted sorrow…
You'd be given the world

Unity…you and me together
Soon we'll see if we can be 
Forever for one another

Unity…you and me together
Soon we'll see if we can be 
Forever for one another

Or else never will true love 
ever be discovered
Or else never will a true love 
ever be discovered

(4) DUST TO DUST
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

When you don't wanna remember
Yet you can't seem to forget
Been through a range of emotions
Can't say just one suits you best

I've got so much 
"Save the World" rally 'round stuff
And a heart full 
of fading long lost love letters

Don't know from where it appears
but there's a whisper In my ear 
No time to bury my fears
No time to stop and disappear

I've got a mind 
that reminds me all the time to be 
careful of whom I trust
when things don't look better

Ahhh...
Ahhh...

For there are those who like to overdose
 on pleasure and love giving in to lust

"C'est la vie"
(c'est la vie)
Ashes to ashes
Diapers to diapers
dust to dust...

Ashes to ashes
Diapers to diapers
dust to dust...

dust to dust...

What is precious…All that is true
(what is precious…all that is true)

The best of intentions 
I had and gave these things to you

dust to dust...
dust to dust...
dust to dust…

(5) WATER FLESH AND BONE
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Should I go to San Francisco? 
I'm getting sick and tired of the snow 
I've been stuck around here 
For all my years 
And I've been thinking I better go 

There's not much that I'd be leaving 
Except the one person I believe in 
And maybe, maybe that's the reason 
Maybe it's time to let her go? 

For every day she waits 
The closer I come to slipping away 
I thought we were soul mates 
But I don't feel as strong about her today 
As I did yesterday

And I'm still waiting... 
But I'm barely hanging on 
My mind, it keeps debating 
Over whether I am right or I am wrong 

But every time I try to write
She becomes the subject of my song 
And I'm still waiting...
But I think that this time 
I might've been waiting too long 

She held the hands that helped mold me 
Into what I now am 
She was my inspiration 
Turned the key that drove me 
Away from a dark and desolate land 

She was my motivation 
But we all know 
That sometimes life doesn't always go 
The way in which you had it planned 

Some mornings you feel... 
Like you're on top of the world 
While other times... 
You're the damned of the damned 

So this morning I asked myself 
Should I go to San Francisco? 
I'm getting sick and tired of the snow 
I've been stuck around here 
For all my years
And I've been thinking I better go 

There's not much that I'd be leaving 
Except the one person I believe in 
And maybe that's the reason 
Maybe it's time to let her go?

(6) TRAIN
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

The conductor blows his whistle
Time for the train to leave the gate
As I'm sitting by the window
Wondering why you're late

I promised myself that you'd be here
Been telling myself that for so long
But as the cars start in motion
I'm thinking maybe that I'm wrong

Maybe you forgot your ticket
Or else on another track
On this train I'm leaving
And I'm never coming back

I said I'd meet you at the station
With suitcases in my hand
But why you never showed up
I'll never understand

You know I paid for your ticket
Even before I bought one for myself
Perhaps you boarded the next car
And sitting with someone else

In all of this confusion
You know I've lost my mind
While hurrying for the train
I left my heart behind 

(7) LITTLE BIRD
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Wondering deep inside my own fascination
Gathering all my strength just to open up the door
Close my eyes with a little hesitation
Knowing I'll never hear your music any more

How could someone so dear to me
Keep me so confused and from the truth for so long?
Whispering of love when she was so near to me
When deep inside she knew it was only a song

Oh little bird
Sing what's in your heart
Never sing a song 
That should never have been heard
Oh little bird
You turned your trickery into an art
Humming a melody
These ears should have never heard 
Oh little bird

Oh little bird
Sing what's in your heart
Never sing a song 
That should never have been heard
Oh little bird
You turned your trickery into an art
Humming a melody
These ears should have never heard 
Oh little bird

(8) HALF FULL
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

My glass is still half-full
Though my heart's half-empty
My castle's falling down
After standing for centuries

My faith is still strong
As love has not been forgotten
I see many trees cut down
Yet their fruit has not turned rotten

My smile I wear is real
My arms are still open
I've revealed to you how I feel
And even my difficulties coping

In this ever-changing world
With you not being in it
We both know how hard it can be
To start over at the beginning

Yet we must carry on
Without malice or regret
Without shame or self-pity

Come on!

Yes we must be strong
Picking ourselves up
 whenever we get stuck 
or start stumbling along

For when it comes to life
Obstacles... There can be many…

When I say 
I have the ability
To handle any and all adversity
To be the candle on the darkest night
Just hold my hand and trust in me

And I will try my best to
Guide you towards the light
And I will lead the battle charge 
If there comes a time when we must fight

(9) TRYING TIMES
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I was trying to find a single ray of light
To lead me through
To guide me onward
To help my eyes regain their sight

I was trying to find 
a single fresh breath of air
To fill my lungs 
so I could scream and yell out your name 
So you'd know where I am 
after you disappeared

I was trying to find a single reason why you left
But I could not as I thought and thought
There was nothing I said… There was nothing I did
Except give you everything
I always tried my best to give you everything I got

I was trying to find a single reason to go on
Be it only to be right
Or perhaps just to prove you wrong
Maybe if you could see me happy again
It would show you that I'm still strong

I was trying to find a single reason not to cry
For it seems like the right thing to do
When you feel so broken and empty inside
For these trying times
Seem to bring out the monster that hides

Beneath the false face I wear
The one that covers my sadness and my despair
All my pain and hurt

When the flame of light no longer glows bright
Or whenever I do finally flint a fire
I always find myself getting burnt

(10) USED TO BE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I used to be really rockin'
I used to be rollin'

I had it
I lost it
I found it…and then it was stolen

So now I'm back out lookin'
Down the avenue I'm strollin'
Still got the fire but nothing's cookin'
I had it once but I no longer hold it

Gone, gone, gone away
I found it once but I no longer own it

Led, led, led astray
Let everybody see it
When I never should have shown it

No, no, no way
And if you can't clone it
Then you better lock it away

That's why today
Is just the price we have to pay
For yesterday's mistakes
For jumping in the lake

When it was far too shallow 
and much too cold
Didn't pay for the ticket 
but ride is getting old

All right everyone gather around
Everybody's gotta play their part

Go starting looking 
all over the ground
And don't stop looking 
until you find my heart

I once gave it away
But it was disregarded
And the way I see it
You'll probably find it in pieces

'Cause she left me here so brokenhearted

I used to be really rockin'
I used to be rollin'

(11) MATCH MAKER
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I'm inspired...again
By the flame of a fire at least it's not the rain
I'm inspired...again
Will this song that I sing just sound the same?

The same as all the other songs 
That I used to write
Where the melody was truly beautiful
But the words were never right

Or maybe it was just the name
What if I change it?
And yet let the lyrics remain

Perhaps then all would be In perfect harmony
If instead of her and I 
I wrote about you and me...

I'm inspired...again to open my heart
And with this new start another song would begin

Or it could all come to an end
And instead of an old love song
This time I could start my new rhyme:
A poem freshly penned for a friend

Either way I would write with words full of love
Hoping that you and I unite
Sharing all the dreams we've been thinking of...

I'm inspired...again
By the flame of a fire at least it's not the rain
I'm inspired...again
Will this song that I sing just sound the same?

(12) UNTITLED UNLABELED
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I will never ask you 
For what you cannot give
Since I always speak the truth
I no longer know how to live

In a world full of illusions
False promises and disguise
One that no longer seeks solutions
Only places to hide

I wouldn't ask you for your heart...
Only for some piece of mind
I wouldn't ask you for your body
Only for some of your time
I will never ask you
If you'll love me 'til the end
I'd just ask you to hold my hand
And walk and talk with me and be my friend

I will never ask you
For that which 
I'd ever have to take

Nor would I want something that wasn't real
Hollow, pretentious or fake

I wouldn't ask you for your heart...
Only for some piece of mind
I wouldn't ask you for your body...
Only for some of your time

I will never ask you
If you'll love me 'til the end
I'd just ask you to hold my hand
And walk and talk with me and be my friend

I would ask you…
To just be my friend...

I would ask you…
To just be my friend...

COLLABORHYTHM COLLABTUNES
SONG LIST 8
A KNIGHT FOR A LADY

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST EIGHT
This song list 8 blends triumph with unraveling. There are uplifting refrains, yes — invocations of art, legacy, self-worth — but they live side by side with cracks in the mirror: suppressed grief, creative disillusionment, abandonment masked as empowerment, and quiet trauma hiding behind lyrical cleverness.

Embedded and implied themes include:
Sudden separation, abandonment without closure
Emotional vulnerability, especially male-presenting characters cracking under devotion
Childhood trauma mirrored through adult distance
The invisible burden of creative purpose and artistic alienation
Spiritual guilt, metaphysical loneliness, divine silence
Confusion between dreams and delusions — lines blurred
Dissociation, identity fragility, fixation
Toxic positivity used to mask internal erosion
Longing to believe in soulmates while choking on reality
Unspoken grief — and the kinds of pain that don't scream, they hum

There's a lyrical glow across this tracklist — but don't mistake it for comfort. Many of these pieces seduce with softness, only to whisper truths too sharp to swallow. If you've ever believed someone was sculpting you into something beautiful, only to realize you were being carved hollow — you'll feel these songs deep.

Discretion advised if you're in a delicate space with:
Love you gave away that didn't come back
Creative burnout
Sudden endings you didn't choose
Deep-seated fear that you were just the marble — and they were always the Michelangelo

This list holds both your heartbeat and your unraveling — listen carefully.

12. What I'll do by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

(1) STARS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Where do they keep all the knowledge
And wisdom that's passed down through the ages?
I believe it's found in the souls and hearts of men
Rather than written on any ancient scrolls or pages
What does it take to wake up happy?
Nothing but the will to carry on
What tool do they make to break one's weakness?
Just you and your faith to be brave and strong

Where can you go for inspiration?
I say anywhere… it's everywhere
Even right where you now are

What is the safest way to avoid evil and temptation?
I'd say it's living your life like you're a star...

It begins by burning bright 
Become a beacon giving off light
On the darkest nights and cloudiest days

Inspire the will to fight 
against all that's not right
Illuminate minds 
during their most trying times 

Don't have to change their views 
to change somebody's ways
So that they stay true 
to themselves and all the while
Doing what they have to do to be stars

(2) HALL OF FAME 
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

If you were an explorer
You would have found exactly what you seek
And if life was a mountain
You'd be standing at the peak

If you were a miner
You'd find love in the heart of gold
If life was a river
You'd be the source of water
We'd all be swimming along with the flow

If Einstein was a musician
He'd have studied your technique
If music had a body
Then you'd be its heartbeat
If Mozart was a scientist
His mathematics would walk and talk on their own
If music lived a life then you'd be the one
To breathe life into its soul

If we let just the people select
You'd be the one that they'd elect....
Your next step... 
The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

There'd be a giant statue of you
Next to that would be one of 
Everyone who ever heard the words you sang

If all of mankind had a choice 
Your solo would be the lone unheard voice
Because we'd all be cheering your name

(3) RIPPLES
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Safely guarded is the infinite wisdom
That I've been longing to understand

The single key that unlocks all reality
Was placed inside your delicate hands

Yet you dropped your sacred Rosetta stone 
In the middle of the pond
Creating countless ripples
That keep traveling on
That keep traveling on

You said you'd rather let it 
become one with the river
So we could all wade in the warm waters

And drift along the gentle current
Floating freely in the stream

You're the sweetest sounding songbird
And to all those who have ears you sing
Yes, many of us have been taken under your wing

So safe and warm 
Here is where I rest 
Fall fast asleep and begin to dream

One single note
Repels all of our deepest fears
You let us forget the past
Help us to find a reason for why we're here

The single key that unlocks all reality
Was placed inside your delicate hands

Yet you dropped your sacred Rosetta stone 
In the middle of the pond
Creating countless ripples
That keep travelling on

The ripples keep travelling on...

(4) STRANGER...THEN FICTION
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Stranger... Stranger...then fiction
Stranger... Stranger...then fiction

My inspiration isn't found 
On the other side of a cloud
way up in the sky light 
No!

It's in a little village town… 
Cold, distant, ice bound
A thousand miles to my right 

Yeah!

I can see the stars above me 
I look at them every night
She too can see the stars above her
When out of the blue she reveals to her lover:

I love him and not you
So there's somewhere I must go
This is something I must do
I never meant to hurt you

With a note she left
In the early hours of the morning
Without thinking, without speaking,
Without hesitation, without any warning

Now on her way to see me
She just booked the flight

When she told me, 
"Tomorrow you'll hold me"
I fainted... 
I fell down... 
but now I'm back upright

Yeah I'm nervous...
but I'm ready...
My hands stopped shaking... 
but now they're sweaty...
And I'm tingly... 
yet bubbly… 
To think that just suddenly....

With a note she left
In the early hours of the morning
Without thinking, without speaking,
Without hesitation, without any warning

(5) FIRST CLASS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I find first class people 
on the back of the plane
Never cared about someone's last name

For I take stock in one's actions and deeds
As oppose to words that often misleed
I do all that I can 
not to get caught up in that scene

My favorite person in this world is deeply in debt
Most wonderful woman that I've ever met

I got a knack for finding greatness
Where you'd least expect
Sometimes it all goes so smoothly
Other times it's a real train wreck

ooh..ooh...ooh...
first class, first class

ooh..ooh...ooh...
first class

I joined the mile low club 
The first time I cried on a plane
After I bared witness to unconditional love

I've thought a lot about it...
But it's so hard to explain

Some people would never go
Some people would never even try
Those people would never know
The same people that never ever fly

I find first class people on the back of the plane
(back of the plane)
Never cared about someone's last name

Done my share of soul searching
And I'd do it again…

I had my moments of doubt
But never long periods of regret
Yeah, I had my moments of doubt
But never long periods of regret

First class... First class...
First class... First class... 

(6) NEXT IN LINE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I'm spellbound by your sounds and words
And how well they heal my soul and hurt
Just hearing your laugh as you sing and play
Everybody knows it's become my saving grace

I've been diagnosed with the rarest of conditions
I've got an unconditional love for a certain musician
(certain musician)

And since I'm so lyrical 
the doctors say this scenario...
Just might be the world's most worst case

Well, the doc's eyes raised 
and he seemed perplexed
When I said I know I'm not the first 
but I'm in line to be next....

I'm spellbound by your beauty 
but it's not because you're such a cutie
I love your eyes 
and how they seem to see right through me

Even though it seems like years 
since I've seen your face 
I'm so entranced by your charm
We both know I'd never do you harm

Except keep you locked inside my heart
Then never would we part 
for it's the safest place...

It's the safest place

(7) GYPSY MAMMA
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I met a gypsy mamma
One day while I was driving down the road 
Would have mistaken her for a farmer
Had her tire not felt the need to suddenly explode

There she sat stranded
With her young boy in tow
This summer trip they had both planned it
But this was not how it was supposed to go

"Can I help you out little lady?
I got a face that you can trust
And soft spot in my heart
For people down on their luck"

With these words she smiled
And proceeded in telling me

She didn't know where she was headed
Only that she had a date with fate and destiny

Said she lived in the same state 
for far too long
And that she was a singer 
but lately all the words 
kept coming out wrong

With her life lacking harmony 
she had since stopped writing songs
That's what she said...

With that I paused and took a breath
I said yeah, I play too, 
and I'm heading out west

Where the sky is the limit 
and sun shines bright
And all the people like to party 
like it's Friday night

With big brown eyes she looked at me and said:
"Hey man, you're alright!"

So we just kept on driving
No, she never looked back
That was exactly ten years ago today
As a matter of fact

If it wasn't for a tire 
I'd have just kept on driving by
And if I was liar 
she'd have left me high and dry
(That's what she could have done)

If she was a farmer 
she could have lived off of the land
Yet she was gypsy mamma
Albeit one with a plan

Now ten years we've been together
Creating and writing and playing songs
(gypsy mamma)

As both our lives keep getting better…
To think that all this started 
'cause one day everything went wrong...
woh ooh

(8) MICHELANGELO AND MARBLE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Alright…
When it comes to minds 
and going exploring...

I raised my hands in the air 
and yell out I'm all for it

You may leave the room now 
to avoid a mind full of questions
You may leave the room 
and pace the halls with the rest of 'em

So many men don't understand
What we hold in our hands or what I'm speaking of

As this world keeps turning
There's a fire burning 
within minds like mine yearning for love

Like Michelangelo's marble
She possessed only the finest of features
Now I've found what I seek
All my life I've been a student
And now I have a teacher

I love the way her mind dances
Perhaps in time I'll reach her
Seems when she sings a song
I can't help but sing along
Now I proudly call myself a believer

We had a little talk about
Our creeds and our codes
I read to her a poem
That I once wrote about
following what little light that still glowed

Oh...Like Michelangelo's marble
She possessed only the finest of features
Now I've found what I seek
All my life I've been a student
And now I have a teacher

Oh…

Since I first heard her voice
It seems I'm not alone
Either by chance or by choice
Her words carve my mind
Like I was a piece of stone
(Like I was a piece of stone)
I recently became a believer
I'm caught under her spell
I recently became a believer
In the lady known as Weaver
(I love the lady Weaver)

Just like Michelangelo's marble
She possessed only the finest of features
Now I've found what I seek
All my life I've been a student
And now I have a teacher

Just like Michelangelo's marble
She possessed only the finest of features
Now I've found what I seek
All my life I've been a student
And now I have a teacher

She's Michelangelo...I'm marble...
Whoa...
She's Michelangelo...I'm marble...
Whoa...
Yeah!

What shape will I take?
Seems it's too early to tell...
I recently became a believer
In the Lady known as Weaver
And I hope you will as well...

I hope you will as well
I hope you will as well
I hope you will as well

She's Michelangelo...I'm marble...
Whoa... Yeah! 

(9) ALL IN GOOD TIME
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

All in good time....
All in good time....
All in good time....

All in good time....
All in good time....
All in good time....

You will find what will find you
So don't let what's been left behind 
ever define you

As you learn that the world turns 
and time does, too
You know it's true

Let yourself heal 
and then become real again and

That's when you'll know... 
Your body, mind and your soul

Can love again
Can live again

That's when your flower can grow
Right now your pedals are closed
And I will share your secret 
so nobody else will ever know that...

All in good time

(10) BEAUTIES AND BEASTS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I can see by that look in your eye...
That you're longing for something to believe in

You can see as you look back at me...
That I'm trying to find some kind of reason
For you to hang on
And for me to be strong
Maybe if we put our heads together
We can tell where things went wrong

One fresh breath of inspiration
Of flickering illumination
To spark the motivation
And bring back the love
That now seems to be gone...
To be gone...

The love of all the beauty
That lies within our beasts
The fulfillment of our goals
That we see inside our dreams 

The return to balance and moderation
Between these two extremes
Summoning the inner wisdom within ourselves
That lets us flow as we become one 
With the supreme being In harmonious love...
With all living things
La... la...
la la la la la la
La... la...
la la la la la la

(11) SUNLIGHT
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I had a dream where you were you 
and yet you were someone else...
All at the same time… 
the most edible of fruits… 
yet stemming from the same root

Was your shadowed twin, 
who I became so painfully aware, 
sat out in the same sun 
Yes, you both were one...

But one of you felt 
like they were slowly dying

Just which vision is the truth?
 I thought I knew but now I know... 
When I only see what I want to see 
That's when one becomes blind

Blinded by my own hopes and dreams
Forgetting that what is 
most important to a flower
Is not just sunshine and water 
but where are there weeds?

And as my mind played tricks on me
I found myself being deceived by my own 
Preoccupation with presumption 
and forgetting all reality...

Sometimes we can stand 
within the light and still not see

All because we're taught to be predisposed
To take what we want when we want without worry
Without a thought for someone else's wants
Without a thought for another's needs

Then I got caught
Caught up in myself
My conscious became lost as I forgot

That some others believe in ideals and beliefs 
That often are different than me
Different than me and mine
And that that's okay

So long as I find myself rooted in love
Then the sun can shine down upon us both 
Then hopefully and happily in time 
we'll each get to see the light of a new day

It was only then that I 
Became a stronger man
Once I sat back and thought 
That it is a better way that way

Perhaps the light that shines
To each shall come at different times

So long as we keep open our eyes
then everything is fine
Yeah, everything is fine... 

The essence of all truth
When love is love it defeats all lies
Yeah, it defeats all lies

Then there's no more lying to yourself
To him or her or to someone else
Gone becomes all selfish intent
That too often becomes so intense
It feels like the only feeling you have ever felt

Escape from that 
and the frozenness of hatred and fear 
You'll find will all disappear 
Leaving only yourself and those you hold dear
And I long to hold you, my dear

Yet only when you're ready 
will this ship steer itself 
Sturdy and steady and all will be revealed...
Yes, all will be revealed...

I've set my course off towards the distant horizon
Chasing the setting sun seeking to find the one
No, not the one for me but the one I am for
Am I willing to go and explore

For it's only the sunlight that I long to see
Hence I sail upon the sea sailing as far as I can
To a new and faraway land not for what I know now is...

But in the name of what could be...
But in the name of what could be...

(12) WHAT I'LL DO
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I faded silently into the fog
From where I first came
Long before I knew you...
Of your legend or your name

The hardest thing I've ever done
Or that'll I'll ever do
Not because of fear of pain
But because it was best for you

Sure, I miss our conversations
Of course I miss your point of view
But there was little hesitation
Of course I breathed a sigh or two...
But it was best for you

You said you needed time
To reflect in your mind
About the past and the new
And since time is all I have...
I've given it to you

I've never spoken empty words
At least as far as you're concerned
I've never wished these tables turned

I stand behind my promises
My thoughts and my deeds
And my desire to give you 
Everything you need

Whatever you wish
I'll do my best to make
Your wish come true

What you see in all your dreams
I'll do my best
To make those dreams come true

Whatever's best for you...
That is what I'll do
(what I'll do)

Whatever's best for you...
That is what I'll do
(what I'll do)

Whatever's best for you...
That is what I'll do
(what I'll do)

Yeah, whatever's best for you...
That is what I'll do
(what I'll do)

What I'll do

COLLABORHYTHM COLLABTUNES
SONG LIST 9
BETWEEN US AND LOVE

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – SONG LIST NINE
This collection contains emotionally potent content. While wrapped in poetic structure and accessible imagery, these songs deal directly with the hollow spaces between human connection, spiritual absence, and emotional entrapment. Beneath the acoustic warmth and lyrical subtlety, there's an undercurrent of quiet devastation.

The following themes appear, explicitly or implicitly, across Song List 9:
Emotional neglect, marital collapse, and years of repressed resentment
Alcoholism, addiction, and dissociation within domestic settings
Long-term loneliness and the false comfort of spiritual platitudes
Quiet suicidal ideation masked as poetic detachment
Subtle religious trauma, disillusionment with organized belief systems
Estrangement from one's homeland, one's partner, and ultimately oneself
Grief, abandonment, and the lingering scent of someone who stopped loving you
The conflict between creative expression and real-world decay
Identity fragmentation, fractured dreams, and futile prayer
The ache of needing something that has already decided not to need you back

There's no graphic violence or sexual explicitness here — but this set is dangerously soft. If you've ever wept at a doorway after someone left you for the last time, if you've ever prayed with no belief left in your mouth, if you've ever stared at your own reflection and didn't recognize who stuck around... this album might cut deeper than you expect.
Listener discretion is advised. Especially if you've been holding it together too long. You won't find salvation here. Just the truth.

(1) FOURTH CHAKRA
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

It is evening back where I came from
But it is early in the morning here
As I am caught between two worlds
On two sides of the ocean to be clear

The only life I ever knew
Was what I left far away and behind
And since then the change in me
Transcends both place and time

The wisdom I have gained and gathered
Which I shall now share with you...
Is that your heart must lead the way
In all you are, where you go and what you do

Sure, logic has its purpose
Common sense is always in demand
So many feelings and emotions
Will lead you to certain paths and plans

As many signs they shall try to tell you
Both who you are and where to go
That's when I just close my eyes
Pause and take a deep, long sigh...
As I pack my clothes I know:

Home is where the heart is
No matter where you started
So pay no attention to your origins
If and when it is time to begin again

Close the door on the past
Close the door on the past
Choose to open up a new window
If it lets the light of love in

As family is as family does
For sometimes strangers gain your trust

Believe in that and believe in them
So just pack your clothes and go
Believe in that and believe in them
So just pack your clothes and go

(2) COLOR OF LOVE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

A girl who was quite dear to me
Once asked me what was... the color of love

I responded that for her it was 
Whatever color... it appeared to be

It could be as white as the wings of a dove
Or the North Star and its light...
That she can now see shining bright above

The true answer cannot be found by the eyes
Only discovered by one's feelings inside
Because we know colors can often disguise
As surely white is not always so saintly purified

The proof of love which you seek
Can only be found in the truth that I speak
In saying that the heart never lies

For all these words 
All these colors and these shapes
Only act as distortions 
And distractions from what's inside...
The fire that burns alive 
Be it learned or innate

A girl who was quite dear to me
Once asked me what was... the color of love

I responded that 
For her it was 
Whatever color... it appeared to be
Or perhaps it's not even a color 
You're thinking of...

(3) PRAYER FOR LIFE'S MEANING
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

The faces of God for He has not just one
Can be seen in waterfalls and the summer sun

In laughing children and a passing cloud
He can be there, too… it is allowed

His hand wipes the tears that widows weep
He rocks your loved one until they fall asleep

To each he's different yet the same to all
You need no phone to hear his call

In family and friends He is in them, too
I see him in the eyes belonging to you

For religion is just a name much like a rose
A bud inside with pedals closed

An epiphany of knowledge of great power
Watering us all from seed to flower

(4) FLOW
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Get ready...
Let the words flow like a river of love
You're all welcome in my boat 
if you feel free to stand up!

Yeah, we'll sure be rocking 
when we get stuck in the mud
If we all paddle together 
we'll escape the flood

The tidal wave that's coming 
is a metaphor for fear, yeah
A simile that once got the best of me 
- now I can hardly hear, yeah

Let the words flow like a river of love
You're all welcome in my boat 
if you feel free to stand up!

Yeah, we'll sure be rocking 
when we get stuck in the mud
If we all paddle together
we'll escape the flood

I listened to that voice inside
Saying I can rise above it all, yeah
Though very few let their mind try to climb
Simply because they're too afraid to fall, yeah

Let the words flow like a river of love
You're all welcome in my boat 
if you feel free to stand up!

Yeah, we'll sure be rocking 
when we get stuck in the mud
If we all paddle together 
we'll escape the flood
Come on!

And what no longer matters is what's in the past
What we got right here are two different paths

One where we become one
And arm-in-arm all join together, yeah
Take a look within ourselves
And then the world and make it better, yeah

Let the words flow like a river of love
You're all welcome in my boat 
if you feel free to stand up!

Yeah, we'll sure be rocking 
when we get stuck in the mud
If we all paddle together 
we'll escape the flood

Let the words flow... 
Let the words flow... 
Let the words flow...
All right

(5) THUNDERSTORMS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

So you never believed that 
a slow death still means you're dying
Yet now you realize when you look into your eyes
There is no more denying

You thought all was lost 
when your smile turned to a frown
Never thought you'd feel the warmth of the sun
Or the heat from a flame of fire
With all this dirty rain falling down

So your head hangs low 
yet you say you feel relieved
That thunderstorms never last forever
As so tightly you hold onto this seed

Hoping someday it shall become a flower
That'll give you hope amongst the weeds
As you find yourself born into a creed
Where you're told to follow when they lead

Yet their roots remain so shallow
And the leaves are showing signs of disease
When everything seems barren and hollow
You seek to find safety beneath a tree

Now you're starting to believe 
that the candle would burn again
As you now realize that 
this is now and that was then

As you simply seek to run for cover
To try to stay warm and dry in the rain

(6) SURE SHORE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I've never treaded water 
quite like this before
I've always been a swimmer
With at least one eye to the shore

Shore, shore

Yet this time the current I find 
It has carried me away

For now I float in the open waters
Without a single light house left
To guide or help me find my way

It's an uneasy feeling... 
To be out here all alone

Such an easy feeling... To finally be
So fully (soulfully) free
To drift...To wallow...To roam
(mad laughing)

Sure, sometimes I don't mind 
rolling with the tide
Other times I don't mind 
leaving it all behind
(leaving it all behind)

Yet when the night air chills 
or my arms and legs grow tired
I am willing to give in 
to the more tender side of life
And the most basic of human desires:

I long to see a candle in the window
Take in the soft glow 
of a freshly stoked fire

A new spark brings new life
A fresh face like bright lights

Sure, Sure
Sure, Shore
Sure, Shore
Shore, Shore

A ghost town
Reborn it thrives
As people follow
We start changing lives

As lives are changed
Perceptions are too
What started as one
Soon grew to two

Two to three
And three to four
When the next person came

We'd say:
"Sure, there's room 
for one more..."

Sure, there's room for one more

(7) GOLDEN ARCHER
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Now I don't get stressed 
Yes in fact I feel quite relieved
To be able to carry you
Now with that weight off my chest
That's been pressing down on me

For I am the fortunate one
Who has seen the light
And now I glow inside
So I just let the clouds keep rolling by

Knowing they'll burn up and haze
So I just sit back and relax 
Growing stronger as I ponder
Rather than go wandering or wait

For I make the most of my time
And I've seen the light
And so I glow inside
While I just let the clouds
keep rolling by

I take my arrow and aim 
at the next big red bulls eye
And I will try again if I miss

I am what I am
I will be what I will be
I feel tall when I stand 
Because my soul 
Has been set free

Now I don't get stressed 
Yes in fact I feel quite relieved
To be able to carry you
Now with that weight off my chest 
pressing down on me
For I am the fortunate one
Who has seen the light
And now I glow inside
So I just let the clouds 
Keep rolling by

I let the clouds keep rolling by
I let the clouds keep rolling by

(8) SUMMER'S THE TIME
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Summer's the time just to let the sun shine
To relax and unwind
To be worry free a leave the past behind

What do you see up there in the clouds?
I see a rocket ship that's never coming down

What do you see in the sky?
I marvel at the beauty of a blue jay 
in midflight right before my eyes

Summer's the time
Grab a friend and come along
Forget what went wrong
Spend a day filled with laughter and song

Tell me how does it feel?
Like the troubles of the world
Are so far away they're gone?
I'm glad you took my advice
But what took you so long?

Summer's the time
To find some peace of mind
It's the year's new dawn
A time to renew your strength
So you can carry on...

So come on!

So come on... 
So come on... 
So come on... 
So come on...
So come on... 
So come on... 
So come on...

Come on!

(9) WITHIN REACH
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

How long have you been sleeping?
How long have your eyes been closed?
I only drift away when I'm in safekeeping
The only time I'll leave myself exposed

Do you...
Oh, do you love me?
Is there anything or anyone above me?

Am I'm within reach of almost all I aspire?

Will it be smooth sailing
Where the straits were once dire?

Do you...
Oh, do you need me?
Will you take some time
Some time to teach me...

What I've left to learn - 
Can we stop playing with fire?
Because I'm getting sick and tired 
of gettin' burned

Within reach…Within reach
Within reach…Within reach

Losing all self-control
And not knowing which way to go

As I've been learning more about myself
I've been yearning for someone else

Do you?
Love me?
Is there anything or anyone above me?

Do you...
Oh, do you love me?
Is there anything or anyone above me?

Am I'm within reach of almost all I aspire?
Will it be smooth sailing
Where the straits were once dire?

Within reach…Within reach

(10) SMELL THE FLOWERS
by Rebekah Ann Curtis & Tom Jensen

Oh Claridalia... stop and smell the flowers
For time is so precious after it is gone
Why not sit and admire the road you are on?
Why not stop and smell a rose?
Before you walk along

Oh Claridalia... stop and smell the flowers
This world is not a race
Go ahead and slow down your pace

Why not smell the apple trees?
Before they lose all of their leaves

Oh Claridalia... stop and smell the flowers
Why not gaze at the clouds overhead
Ever wonder if they are really angels' beds?

Why not sit and admire the sunset?
Before the sun makes way 
to the man in the moon instead

Oh Claridalia... stop and smell the flowers
Feel the cool rain before you run for cover
See the spark of lightening
Hear the roar of thunder

Why not sit puzzled in mystery?
Before everything has been discovered

Oh Claridalia... stop and smell the flowers
Autumn's moon is rising up ahead
Our earth and winter's frost will soon be wed
Why not stop and smell the flowers
Before you have forgotten all that I've said

(11) LYRICAL GROOM AND MUSICAL BRIDE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Her thoughts hidden within her music
His mind occupied by rhyme
Alone they've both forsaken
So many pleasing times

She knew the reason she wasn't happy
By herself and guitar by her side
Hiding within her music
Just as he hid behind his rhyme

Lyrical groom…Musical bride
An unfulfilled life… An unfulfilled life

Lyrical groom…Musical bride
An unfulfilled life… An unfulfilled life

There she sat in an empty room
Far away he did, too
Each creating worlds inside their minds
Yet each shared in their solitude

And then one day he asked her
If she would sing and make him a song
So that day she read his poem
And then started to strum and hum along

Lyrical groom…Musical bride
An unfulfilled life… An unfulfilled life

Lyrical groom…Musical bride
An unfulfilled life… An unfulfilled life

Now they're only happy being together...
This wordsmith husband and his songwriting wife
Singing, laughing, dancing
Neighbors think what a wonderful life

Now they're only happy being together...
This wordsmith husband and his songwriting wife
Singing, laughing, dancing
Neighbors think what a wonderful life

Wordsmith husband… Songwriting wife
What a wonderful life… A wonderful life
Wordsmith husband… Songwriting wife...

(12) ROCKING THE WORLD 
by Lai Youttitham & Tom Jensen

Stadium full of screaming teens
Hot young things in cut-off jeans

You're on the front page of magazines
And you find yourself...
Driving the media machine

A hot shot on the social scene
This reality was once just a dream

Status whore…
such a libertine
When you find yourself... 
in the back seat of limousines 

Everywhere you go... 
it always seems as though...
Everybody knows your face and name...

They call you a rock n' roller
Because you're rocking the world

You're stopping traffic
Without crossing streets
Smiling face on everyone you meet

Full house with no empty seats
People pay you money
Just to hear you speak

Transformation and Growth, emphasize personal evolution, change, relationships, portraying love as a complex, multi-dimensional force that transcends appearances and rational thought.
Nature and Renewal, Natural imagery and metaphors for emotional renewal, resilience, and life's fleeting beauty.Reflection and Spirituality

SONG LIST 10
ONCE PIECE MISSING

TRIGGER WARNING SONG LIST TEN
This collection contains emotionally heavy and introspective material that explores themes of loss, memory, war, identity, and psychological vulnerability. While largely poetic and reflective in tone, several songs address subject matter that may be distressing to some listeners.

This song list includes references to:
War, military service, and lifelong combat trauma
Death, aging, and mortality
Emotional isolation, loneliness, and abandonment
Depression, hopelessness, and identity fracture
Spiritual doubt and philosophical uncertainty
Grief following the loss of loved ones
Romantic separation and unresolved attachment
Historical violence and generational suffering
Psychological distress expressed through metaphor and symbolism

These songs emphasize internal struggle, memory, and the long emotional aftermath of personal and collective hardship. While not graphically explicit, the material may resonate strongly with listeners who have experienced trauma, loss, or prolonged emotional strain.

Listener discretion is advised, particularly for those sensitive to themes of war, grief, or mental health challenges.

This work is intended for mature audiences capable of engaging with reflective, somber, and emotionally layered content.

(1) SNOWFLAKES
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

As snowflakes cover the ground
And the color white is all around
You stare out your window looking down
Thinking that everyone must pay a price
While wondering to yourself
Whether you'll bounce once or you'll bounce twice

This time that you spend has only been leased
Just as the clock on your wall is not really your own
And as you measure importance from greatest to least
You count up all the people and find that you're alone
Just when you really needed some fresh air
You found that there was no breeze

Well you only look down 
As you cross the bridge
And the light goes off 
When you open the fridge

When Christmas time comes
Other people open your gifts
And the iceberg you're chained to
It never seems to drift

If you were at the beach
Then the sun would hide
When the bus would come
It wouldn't give you a ride

You can either think of your life 
And all of the pain you've felt
Or you can sit and watch the snowflakes
Until they all melt 

(2) HARRY PATCH
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

The battle lasted ninety days
At least that's what history will say

But to me it lasted ninety years
Into my memory etched
Never will it disappear

I was just nineteen
When I became part of the war machine

I was just nineteen
When I became part of the war machine

No other man alive
Has ever seen what I have seen

Two world wars
A man on the moon
The fall of the Wall
On a November afternoon

Just how fast things can change...
I never would have believed it
If not for having seen it

Yet what has really changed?
Once I thought I knew
But I'm not so sure anymore

An entire century...
I've lived it and breathed it
Until this fatal final parting bow

It is with this last breath
That I must express
How I've become
Decidedly undecided now

He was just nineteen 
When he became part of the war machine

He was just nineteen 
When he became part of the war machine

(3) OLD ELI
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Come on! Yeah... Oh!

I'm spinning on this cotton gin 
That old Eli gave to me...
Humming songs of freedom
Songs of what I'll never see

Made up of words that 
I'll never be able to read…No
Umm umm
Yeah

I'm spinning on this cotton gin 
That old Eli gave to me...
Humming songs of freedom
And oppressed humanity

Trying to take things further
In the name of liberty
Yeah...
Woo hoo!
And it seems to me
There's no more real definition of sanity
Yet some speak of it with such profanity
That it just creates one great calamity

Ooh
Woo hoo
Alright!

I guess there's many things 
that ain't the way they used to be 
they ain't the way they used to be

When only in death will we finally find unity...
We lose

So just take what you need 
And follow whatever god you choose...
Yeah

I'm spinning on this cotton gin 
That old Eli gave to me...
Humming songs of freedom
And oppressed humanity

Trying to take things further
In the name of liberty
Yeah...

Talkin' 'bout old Eli
Talkin' 'bout old Eli
Talkin' 'bout old Eli
Talkin' 'bout old Eli 
Talkin' 'bout old Eli
Talkin' 'bout old Eli
Talkin' 'bout old Eli
Talkin' 'bout old Eli

(4) LEAVING YOUR ROOTS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Their pictures hanging on the wall
Paint the story of a hundred faces

The sparkle shining from my eyes
Should show you that I've traveled
to so many places

I've been to France
I've been to Italy
But I'll never tell a soul
Just what that did to me

The fact that I ended up back here
Without reasons explained may seem unclear

Yet in order to clarify... 
you may ask me to verify...
But I cannot certify ... 
that I have been purified

The pictures hanging on the wall
Paint the story of a hundred faces
The sparkle shining from my eyes
Should show you that I've traveled 
to so many places

Sometimes it's hard to leave your roots
Especially in the name of such trivial pursuits
Sometimes it's hard to leave your roots
Especially in the name of such trivial pursuits

Sometimes it's hard to leave your roots
(leaving your roots)
Especially in the name of such trivial pursuits
(trivial pursuits)
Sometimes it's hard to leave your roots
(leaving your roots)
Especially in the name of such trivial, 
trivial pursuits…

(5) BROKEN MIRROR
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Shattered glass fallen from a broken mirror 
Are now the reasons for all of these fears

Shattered glass fallen from a broken mirror 
Shall lead to seven unlucky years

From this broken mirror shattered on the floor
Reflect chaotic patterns of distorted reflections

Now hiding within the cracks
are self-deceiving perception and excuses

What was once one frame of mind
Forming a single point of view
Now the faces looking back are many
What was once smooth now lies jagged

And simply disregarded 
Yeah, it is simply disregarded

With the foreseeable future 
so filled full of gloom
You sweep up your luck in disgust 
with this dustpan and broom

After that perhaps you start sweeping 
the corners of your mind
Though you can never be sure 
of just what you will find

Maybe long lost forgotten dreams 
not quite as distant as they now seem

You never know what'll be uncovered 
or discovered just given a little time
Just give it a little more time...

Shattered glass fallen from a broken mirror 
Might not be as bad as it first appeared

Shattered glass fallen from a broken mirror 

Might lead you to a window 
Through which you might see clear
Through which you might see things clear...

(6) PENNYWISE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

You can't be spiritual and material
It just goes against the grand paradigm
It's the same as saying you're pound foolish
Then just what's the point of being pennywise?

Oh...it's a rainy day
And with all those pennies saved
Oh...what will you spend them on?

Oh...it's a rainy day
As Nimbus clouds float overhead
Oh...how long until they're gone?

And all your money's been spent
On trinkets and other such trivial things
As you find your time has been lent
Not to paupers but to those who just wish to be kings

And queens who acquired their wealth
On broken dreams and other such self-serving schemes
On sickness not health caring only about the ends
And not about those who were caught in between

Or who's left out in the cold
Claiming that's out of their control
For it surely has no worth
If it's not something you can hold…

You can't be spiritual and material
It just goes against the grand paradigm

It's the same as saying you're pound foolish
Then just what's the point of being pennywise?

Oh...it's a rainy day
And with all those pennies saved
Oh...what will you spend them on?

Oh...it's a rainy day
As Nimbus clouds float overhead
Oh...how long until they're gone?
How long until they're gone?

(7) POSTCARD 
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Unfadable... 
is what your memory has become to me
Traceable... 
 it's easy to see how this came to be

I got a postcard from you... 
a day before today
"Sorry for my silence...." 
is all that it said

"I need some peace of mind. 
Some time for my head."
That was all that she said.
(all that she said)
I felt so weak 
I stumbled to my room, 
picked up the phone
Things seemed so bleak 
When I realized you were not home

I got a postcard from you ...
a day before today
"Sorry for my silence...." 
is all that it said

"I need some peace of mind…
some time for my head."
That was all that she said.
(all that she said)

And I fell asleep to beeping 
Empty thoughts began seeping

Sogging this mind...unable to roam
(unable to roam)

I just opened up a letter...
That I received and read today
It seems you're feeling better...
Seems you're beginning to find your way
It seems you finally see the sunshine 
after many shades of gray

After many cloudy days 
so heartwarming was our embrace
Nothing could pull us away 
it made me happy today
To see your smiling face
(smiling face)

I got a postcard
(I got postcard)
I got a postcard from you
(I got postcard)

(8) HOUSE OF SHATTERED GLASS
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I'm feeling trapped 
Within myself
Within my heart 
and within my own head...

I'm feeling surrounded 
With this sense of hurt, 
this sense of loss 
and the feeling of dread

I'm waiting for your letter 
The one that I'll cry as I read:

The one that says:
"I'll always love you... 
But you're something that I don't need"

And it is filling me with misery
And I still feel nothing but love

Love for you... but not for me

That part of my heart is empty
There's nothing there it's null and void

I worked so hard to get you to love me
Yet here I am left unemployed

I don't feel bitter 
I just feel let down
I've never been a quitter 
I'm a lover not a leaver

But now I'm leaving town...
'Cause I just can't bare to be around

In you... 
I am your greatest believer

In me... 
I'm my own greatest deceiver

As everyone told me 
it was a fairytale world
From inside this 
house of shattered glass 
I stood up to every stone they hurled

And we both know it hurts
Watching your blood make mud
As it mixes with the dirt
That they also threw at you
But I knew what it was that I had to do

Still, through all of this 
I only know of one truth:
I will never stop loving you
But what's even worse:
Is that you know it, too

(9) PENDULUM
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I've been holding on...
To a fantasy
To a dream

I've been writing songs...
That include
Both you and me

I've been holding on...
To my own perceived
Reality

I've been righting wrongs...
And addressing everyone
Everything but you and me

I'm so tired of putting work in...
Putting time into things 
that disintegrate
I know you see me waiting
While my smile is fading 
but it will be too late

I feel it and I know...
But you can't see what I don't show
Sure, you tried to read my mind
But maybe you were wrong this time

Believing that I'd hang on...
Like I always have like I always do
However, the man you see now
Might not be the same man that you knew

As one face of mine hides the pain and the lies
The other sits and waits trying to decide
On which side of the fence to sit on...

(10) BRICKLAYER
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Do you worship the new holy trinity?
Of money, commerce and economy?
Do you measure one's status
Using just these three?
Or do you find one's worth in externalities?

And intrinsic values that are harder to see...
For someone like me don't do much for your GDP
Is there anyone left who still agrees with me?

Number one should be love and number two humanity
Number three could be compassion
Or replaced by four or five 
Empathy and equality

Add them all up and you get solidarity 

Now that's the math that makes the most sense to me

I guess that's why I like philosophy

No, I've never been fond
Of stocks and bonds
I'm not a fan of 
bottom lines or CEO's

I love the laying of bricks
Over newly paved roads
That lead off the beaten path
Showing people to a new way to go

(11) ABSOLUTELY MARIE
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Come on!
I knew her name...
Absolutely Sweet Marie
These words filled my head
Describing someone I'd just met
Words I think that Dylan said

Just leave it to him 
To steal my phrase for you
Who is he to speak your name?
Speaking softly, sweet and true:

Absolutely, Absolutely, Absolutely 
Sweet Marie

She is positively a woman 
Who brightened up this rainy day
And brought some sunshine to this man
As I felt the room get warmer 
After every word she said

You never know just what the future holds
Perhaps someone and something new
So these words once written 
I recite them just for you
Speaking carefully, sweet and true:

Absolutely, Absolutely, Absolutely 
Sweet Marie

Speaking carefully, sweet and true:

Absolutely, Absolutely, Absolutely 
Sweet Marie

Alright!

(12) JULIA'S GARDEN
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Julia has a garden
So intricate in design
A secret place where the flowers grow
A secret place that only she can find

Here she embraces the feelings 
that she could never show
The resentment and hurt 
she always kept deep within her mind

For only the juniper trees 
have heard her full tale of woe
And they only share all they know 
with the skyline

Julia is beautiful and Julia has suffered
Losses that no mother or father, 
or son or daughter should know

Yet in this oasis of hope 
all forms of life are welcomed
In the tidal wave of thought 
She suddenly becomes caught 
within the undertow...
This garden was created 
from the basis of chaos
And now pays tribute to organized chaos 
in the form of a shrine

Here she can meditate on her thoughts 
from many years ago
On an ever changing world 
constantly being redefined

Every seed here she did sew
It is whispered and echoed 
through the grapevine

Beneath the bridge across the brook 
the water runs slow
Almost as if the stars had been realigned

Beds full of daffodils 
and daisies overflow
Sunflowers sit in neat little rows 
all intertwined

Julia would have to tiptoe
Less she wants to create 
a ripple back through time

A life as simple as Emerson or Henry David Thoreau
With such a pretty view down along the coast line
And yet as colorful and vibrant as Picasso or Van Gogh
The only other mortals to know of art so fine

Yet Julia is beautiful and Julia has suffered
Losses that no mother or father, 
or son or daughter should know

Yet in this oasis of hope 
all forms of life are welcomed
In the tidal wave of thought 
she becomes caught within the undertow

This garden was created 
from the basis of chaos
And now pays tribute to organized chaos 
in the form of a shrine

Here she can meditate on her thoughts 
from many years ago
On an ever changing world 
constantly being redefined

It is here where both cold and warm breezes blow
Be them fiercely or gently along the waterline
In the middle of the night with the moon aglow
Julia either recollects her dreams 
or speaks to the divine

Falling down the weeping willows hang low
Silhouetted by the trees of soft pine
Swaying from here to fro stands this hedgerow
Dancing in rhythm all the while entangled in vines...

Julia is beautiful and Julia has suffered
Losses that no mother or father, 
or son or daughter should know
Yet in this oasis of hope 
all forms of life are welcomed
In a tidal wave of thought she becomes 
caught within the undertow

This garden was created 
from the basis of chaos
And now pays tribute to organized chaos 
in the form of a shrine

Here she can meditate on her thoughts 
from many years ago
On an ever changing world 
constantly being redefined

Julia has a garden
So intricate in design
A secret place where the flowers grow
A secret place that only she can find

Life’s fleeting nature, the pain of isolation and overcoming despair, heartbreak, and societal challenges, emphasizing the power of perseverance and introspection.
Critiquing materialism, societal norms, and the loss of humanity in the face of economic and technological advancement. 
Duality and Conflict: Themes of inner conflict, broken relationships, and the tension between dreams and reality run throughout the collection, symbolized by imagery such as broken mirrors and snowflakes.
