5.1 SURROUND SOUND MUSIC

(2003)

1. Opel 5'37
(Syd Barrett)
Recorded for Stock in Deñember 2002

Opel was the song we loved to play as a soundcheck.
We arranged it in the way we thought they
would have arranged it in those days...
we wouldn't have done this song in
a regular album, but Stock gave us the opportunity to do so...
2. The Way It Is 6'07
(Yogi Lang / Kalle Wallner)

Taken from the "God Has Failed" sessions 2000
Although we liked the song it didn't seem
to fit with the rest of the album.
nevertheless we often played the song live ...
We made the final overdubs in November 2002.
3. Perceptual Response 1'23
(Yogi Lang / Kalle Wallner)

Taken from the "God Has Failed" sessions 2000
Taken from the "God Has Failed" sessions 2000
This was the original connection between
tíå songs "The Way It Is" and "In Your Dreams"
for the "God Has Failed" album.
4. Forgive Me, Part 1 1'42
(Yogi Lang / Chris Postl)

For the album it was planned as a reprise ...
5. The Gentle Art Of Swimming 10'21
(Yogi Lang / Kalle Wallner)

Taken from the "Trying To Kiss The Sun" sessions 2001
Recorded for the "Trying To Kiss The Sun" album,
we never had the feeling to find the key to the song.
So the song developed very crazy. But in a way quite
interesting as well. So we replaced computer drums and recorded
final overdubs in December 2002.
6. Who Do You Think You Are 3'38
(Yogi Lang / Kalle Wallner)

Taken from the "God Has Failed" sessions 2000
The original version of "Who Do You Think You Are",
strange version, but this is what it was before
producing it for "God Has Failed".
We always play the end part live as the endpart of "Who Do You Think We Are" ...
7. Going Outside 0'34
(Yogi Lang)
8. Sun In The Sky 4'23
(Stephen Caron / Yogi Lang)

Taken from the "Trying To KISS The Sun" sessions 2001
This song should have been the title track for the "Trying To Kiss The Sun" album.
As we didn't want to have another ballad on the album, we met for once another session ...
9. Forgive Me, Part 2 2'58
(Yogi Lang / Chris Postl)

Taken from the "God Has Failed" sessions 2000
This song was to be the last track of "God Has Failed", but finally we wanted to have a simpler one with a clearer message
and so it was replaced by the title track "God Has Failed".
10. Forgive Me, Part 3 7'46
(Yogi Lang / Chris Postl)

Taken from the "God Has Failed" sessions 2000

    1. Opel

      On a distant shore, miles from land
      Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
      A dream in a mist of grey...
      On a far distant shore...
      The pebble that stood alone
      And driftwood lies half buried
      Warm shallow waters sweep shells
      So the cockles shine...

      A bare winding carcase, stark
      Shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way...
      Dry tears...
      Crisp black squeaks tore reeds
      Make a circle of grey in a summer way, around man
      So don't ground...

      I'm trying
      I'm trying to find you!
      To find you
      I'm living, I'm giving,
      To find you, To find you,
      I'm living, I'm living,
      I'm trying, I'm giving

    2. The Way It Is

      So you think i need a friend
      That?s not the way it is
      You never really understand
      Still sitting by your side
      Watching every move
      There never really was a chance
      Standing here alone
      You?re not here
      My eyes are open wide
      'Cause you must be there
      Don?t loose the love you feel in your heart
      But that?s just the way it is
      With every move you make you?re closer to the end
      That?s just the way it has to go....
      Your massage came from far
      A crimson moon it lights the sky
      The nightland creatures see your fall
      Noone here to lead my way
      And she still calls out with her mind
      The destiny beyond my grasp

    3. Perceptual Response

    This was the original connection between the songs "The Way It Is" and "In Your Dreams" for the "God Has Failed" album

    4. Forgive Me, Part 1

    (Instrumental)

    5. Gentle Art Of Swimming

      Silent tears are streaming down
      Gather to forbidden streams
      The shifting clouds flowting entangled
      Shadows edge the scenerie
      Thoughts collide with chained emotions
      Seems like they were born again
      The last glow of my dying senses
      Erupted from the end of all our dreams
      The gentle art of swimming
      Swimming through our live
      Through worlds of every colours
      Screaming their delight
      Passing through a sudden silence
      Single echoes died away
      Seas of light in three dimensions
      Climbing through the atmosphere
      Followed by my cosmic ego
      Childhood pictures blurred by time
      Every point of my emotion
      Resolves itself again in all my dreams

    6. Who Do You Think We Are

      There was something in your face again
      I see sometimes in my dreams
      Not the faintest belief where we had to hide
      The sound of marching boots outside
      The flickering hope was burning down
      The same old tale that?s told forevermore
      Who do you think you are
      Don?t look back, ?cause nothing has changed yet
      I guess somehow it?s all like it was before
      Always a reason to kill
      Never to late to put on the pressure
      The wind ?s a little colder every year
      The rest like it was before
      So you like to play a leading role
      (In your part time job called live)
      Always stayed in your golden cage
      (You never feeled the knife)
      Then you open the door
      You?ve never been so far before
      We thought we were god but the race is run
      The same old song we?ll sing forevermore
      Who do you think......
      Where does it start, why does it end
      Could be that your foe will soon be your friend
      Today you are rich, tomorrow you?re poor
      The more that we are, the more you?re alone

    7. Going Outside

    (instrumental)

    8. Sun In The Sky

      Outside
      Drilling tunnels in the rain
      Sometimes
      Not even thinking of your pain
      My face shield slips again
      The light shines through into my brain
      But the screaming not hurting yet
      Sun, sun in the sky
      High time
      I try to fight against the wave
      Sunflakes
      Starting to settle on my brain, again
      The universe of silent light induced insanity
      But your screaming not hurting yet
      Sun, sun in the sky

    9. Forgive Me, Part 2

      Before you closed the door
      You looked up to the sky
      "Next time let?s make a brandnew start" you said
      But now it?s to late to tell you what i feel
      So please forgive me

    10. Forgive Me, Part 3

      Like a teardrop in the desert
      A soldier shut down in war
      Who?ll tell me how things fit together
      Where do i belong
      It was a cold november morning
      The outlook has never been so grey
      It was so easy to talk about
      And so funny to see you this way
      So please forgive me like you always did before
      You waited such a long time
      That i?d come along
      So i close my eyes and wait for the hole in the sky
