FAWM: "In meinem Schloß aus Eis / In my castle made of ice"

In meinem Schloß aus Eis / In my castle made of ice

Liner Notes

#hopelessness #german #ambient #soundscape

DD sent me this wonderfully magical and mystical soundscape!

Yesterday I wrote these lyrics about loneliness, about emptiness, and about loss. About something that will never be good again and is lost forever!

Both the music and the lyrics complement each other beautifully. I recorded my vocals in one take.

Thanks DD for your always so wonderfull music!

DD sez: I love working with my sister in bass. And I love what @mahtowin has done with this piece I sent her.

Lyrics

n meine Schloß aus Eis Lebe ich Ohne Dich! Bist Du eine Spur im Universum, Bist Du ein Traum, Eine Idee? Draußen fällt Schnee … (Wo bist Du?) Ich suchte in den Straßen meiner Städte! In den Wäldern meines Landes! Meine Falken schickte ich nach Dir! (Wo bist Du?) Und so warte ich In meinem Schloß aus Eis Auf Dich! Draußen fällt Schnee …

————————————— In my castle of ice I live Without you!

Are you a trace in the universe, Are you a dream, An idea? Outside, snow is falling…

(Where are you?) I searched in the streets of my cities! In the forests of my land!

I sent my falcons after you!

(Where are you?) And so I wait In my castle of ice For you! Outside, snow is falling…

What a perfect collab! Yeah, this is a great combo of both of your talents. I'm liking the lush and full backing with the mysterious vocals over the top, almost like a chant. Excellent work here, both of you!

What a fantastic music bed--and a lovely vocal over it. Great collaboration! ❤️

@mahtowin 1d

Thank you, Jerry! 🙏😊

Love these lyrics, particularly "I sent my falcons after you." Vocals are beautiful, of course, and I like the whispering parts behind the main vocal. The poetry of the lyrics go so well with the ethereal, slightly disturbing music. Gorgeous!

@mahtowin 1d

Thanks! I knew you would like the falcon :-)

@datsch 1d

I saw your falcons looking! They came over here (We have big sky above us) and the usual hawks and buzzards were alarmed, but the ravens knew what was going on. They sent your falcons off in the right direction, told them where to look … Great use of space and reverb in the music and the words …

@mahtowin 1d

Thanks for your words and for sending my falcons in the right direction! 🙏🤗

Beautiful song. Prefect balance between the music and the sad lyrics. Very sad and feeling genuine in a way that paints pictures in my mind. Well done both of you.

@mahtowin 1d

Thank you! To be honest, I‘m not suprised that you like it, but flattered! 😊
