Unannounced Concert

Majidian performed an unplugged concert at a birthday party in Bielefeld on Sunday. Sorry for not giving an advance shout about it, but it was a private party anyway. Once these things get more frequent a link called “Tour” will be added. For now that’d be nothing but a presumption.

Until Now

When you woke I sat here thinking
What a Bob Dylan in my shoes would do
But it came to no conclusion
Cause I figured he wouldn’t have fallen in love with you
Your inability to text me
Leaves me holding on to my phone
Quietly studying messages
Feeling happy and alone

And they all didn’t have a clue until now
And they all thought it was me and not you until now

I had gone there too I do
I had gone there too with you
I had gone there too I do
I had gone there too I envy you

I cannot go I wanna make a wonder happen tonight I’ve got you way inside my head
I cannot go I’ve gotta feeling though you’ll be alright if you will just remember

It’s only six or so 
More weeks I know
But it feels
Like years

What you said before the silence
“The time apart is not an issue here”
Far beyond all watching eyes then
Our souls reach out and breathe
From a vast and smiling peace I
Find you bathed in morning light
I must be full on dreaming
When you have morning I have night

And they all didn’t have a clue until now
And they all thought it was me and not you until now

I had gone there too I do
I had gone there too with you
I had gone there too I do
I had gone there too I envy you

I cannot go I wanna make a wonder happen tonight I’ve got you way inside my head
I cannot go I’ve gotta feeling though you’ll be alright if you will just remember

It’s only once or so
In your life you know
And if it’s true
Follow thru

Cuz they all didn’t have a clue until now
And they all thought it was me and not you until now

Pear

I had plans to give you one call and let you know how I could
Fall with you if you did express the same which I’m sure would be the 
Game we’d play for a few years or decades depending on how we
Do as mates and such with a ring or even without either way

I’m not about to pick up the phone and
Say the words you’ve probably known and
Be the first to kind of admit that
I’m prepared to kind of commit to a

Pear I’ve known for as long as I know you for as strong but
For as few as we stood in line or face to face sharing thought sharing a
Pace one speed I might be in need to declare that you’re not full on
Aware of my breed but I decide to not wreck this ship by the name of friend with

A trip to go and pick up the phone and
Say the words you’ve probably known and
Be the first to kind of admit that
I’m prepared to kind of commit to a

Pear I swear I’ll save us from that kind of shit

I’m not about to pick up the phone and
Say the words you’ve probably known and
Be the first to kind of admit that
I’m prepared to kind of commit to a

Pear I swear

I adore apples and those but in the end nothing comes close
To your style the way that you dress to your smile and your address
To your taste in music and wine I hope I’m not wasting your time
Cross my heart hope to die poke a needle in my eye

Wanna Be Saved

I wanna be saved 
Wanna behave to be 

I wanna be saved
Wanna be shaved and bleed 

I wanna be saved
Wanna be graved elite 

I wanna be saved
From the estate I’m in

But my heart is a mindful place
And I’ve been that route before

Wanna Be Saved

This recording was born from 12 AM to 4 AM yesterday night with my good old friend, roommate and drummer Jan Reiss. The song itself dates back to 2004, maybe this is the definitive version. 

I guess considering the recent circumstances in Egypt it’s only fair to dedicate this to the hope that democracy may be saved - or better installed - over there, and that a country can be kept from committing suicide. Not the fowl democracy that we are “bringing” to allover the place, the real one. From within. So cut your rotten ties. Retribution is yours.
