You 01:41
How, how am I how am I not how am I not myself? I'm not afraid when you're telling me that I'm yourself no, I'm not afraid How, how am I how am I not how am I not yourself? I love that sphere what's closing up our different worlds are gathering here.

Lying in this comfortable bed with cruelty feels inside my head My scull seems no more big enough for my eyes which do not move too fast, like needles through my pumping brain - Do I have to die in pain and it will come again do I have to die in pain No that is not the way I want to die lying in a corner sick and ill later maybe have another try cause this really isn't the time I want to die World is deaf and wrapped in cotton wool Pain is now a boring kind of... something Dog eared time invasion seems to rule my mind I think I have to get out of this... nothing Cause this is not the place I want to die numbness in my body and my mind Oh love I don't fell low or high no, this world isn't the place I want to die in.

Dark times finally get wings of rust and dead aeroplanes out of desert is the landing strip hope we can manage it Dusty weathers are corroding us red and shiny planets in the back our broken pieces reflecting them when we split up into something new New dust is falling in my yellow skin I feel more completed I'm eating away... at something Breathing non refreshing air feel my very greasy hair let my dry my tears from skin I'm eating away... at something Made out of the unknown land a piece of pieces stuck in the sand some are watching many aren't neither feel how they get buried Redemption tidal wave and the present's not this age get clean or go down then you don't have to moan Sunlights are kissing my face back into world the specter is missing instead of it's my girl My yellow cat is grinning about the multi-coloured birds they themselves are singing about the days magical birth.

I met you in the garden of gold everything was dead when you're gone the pretty things I saw on our trip they died in the moment when you're gone We felt the ghost of life deep in the woods, hand in hand but these memories fade away more and more I wish I could get to the top once more, the green top surrounded by the clouds sharing all these holy thoughts with you it seems we understood what we saw Chimneys in the distance heaven machines winds around us and into our brains But now it's dead cause you are gone beautiful spirit I can't get you no more, no more.
5.
Do I have to destroy my world when I need someone? Or do I have to leave you when I want to keep it? Is it ok to leave my best friend crying, when the demons are clinging onto my brain, when my body hurts and it never stops to rain? Are these feelings just for a fucking drive? Or are they bird-singing flowering romantic dive? Isn't it good to see a new world behind? Or is it a bad one, the saddest of them all? And who is the most wounded in this war? Why no longer the winter seems to be a mirror of my mind? Why is my time counting as a part of human kind? And why is there not enough space for us to grow? And why do I have to take drugs to feel the flow? Finally it comes - pow, pow - I don't care about how.

Existence 02:07
Feel the landscape's expanse feel the warmth of that big sphere hear the leisurely old tune it's existing, our life is real and existing See the colours next to the darkness see your figure in this light apprehend what is it's existing, our life is real and existing Remember the old dust you're part of the time will come when it flows back into the great circle of existence, we are part of the new existence existing, our life is real and existing.
7.
Now the darkness and silence has gently fallen down just a dog and the cars making soothing sounds star-spangled cover lays upon this old town I feel warmth coming back to my heat-seeking mind Is it you in the stars is it you in the dark is it you in the cars? Something's new in my heart Horizons tie together our night spinning world chimney's smoke forms cathedralic gates unhurried nightlife through trembling old streets I hope the next breath I take brings me back the missed faith Is it you in the stars is it you in the dark is it you in the cars? Something's new in my heart.
8.
Sleeping, reading, thinking is that a way to crawl out of here? Flickering flame, redemption, blown out Next day; thinking, reading, sleeping... After a week I begin to doubt Amazement: The bird can fly through heavy rain The season: It don't look warm but it is The reason: If there's any it must be plain These thoughts: After a week I begin to doubt If someone is listening he might silently ask: „This trash I heard what's it about? The goal you're searching for, what should it be? The change you think about, what could it be? I'm sorry, I'm not sure, please explain what's it about! Behind the darkness there's always a flame it will shine brighter when you stop the rain no fear, this starshit will kiss you again then at the latest, you remember the pain as a weak and pale but permanent flame.“ My Heart's a trap!
9.
Like the flowers in the falling sky the mountain ranges passing by I'm alone inside this universe of mine The waves will take me to the peaks and down into the worlds beneath the ocean where the world trembles in silence Ahead lie only time and space unseen while behind me fades away all that has ever been and I'll just wonder on for now adrift amongst the boundless changing patterns I float between the forest ground where colorful the leaves abound and incandescent skies silently churning Like a drop of rain that ever keeps on falling until it may reach the welcoming embrace of endless oceans The surging depth remains a hazy notion up until it's hidden surface I'll have broken but I'll just carry on for now adrift amongst the boundless changing patterns.
10.
So let's move on, along wet black trees and walls a few of rare exceptional lights during the boring daily fights so let's move on... Slow down the speed between you and your light remember the second when you open your eyes future and past are just a moment from now just now is the time when your feet touch the ground See you're in touch with this very rare light feel you're in touch with the magic of life don't be sad about the flight of this glance you opened this window during darkness of night So let's move on through thickets and marshes over well swept places cause we endure all these phases So let's move on, among creatures from earth and air and waters our march of variety is why our gods and mothers are proud of us.

The Cat 01:10
My cat will die now I'm alone Here I lie all the girls are gone The cat is dead dig it by my roots I never go back I better searching for my truth.

about

The project kingdomforahorse emerged in 2016 in Bonn, more or less at the insistence of some friends of the two musicians who wanted to have their songs, which up until then could only be heard as strummed live versions, in recording.

So it happened that the songs were first recorded at home and then finally in a real recording studio, to be pressed on vinyl, because one might as well.

The album was recorded in Frank Brempel's „blue in green“- recording studio in Bonn, which usually focuses on acoustic and jazz music and was able to exert a positive influence on the songs, even though they tend to follow the pop song structure.

The main instruments of the album's tracks are acoustic guitar and a Hammond organ as well as (the studio's grand) piano and a Moog synthesizer. Furthermore there is the bass, either as bass guitar or
played on the Moog. These instruments are joined at times by sounds and effects produced on various devices - an echo machine, a tape echo unit, distortion, rotating tweeters, digital sound editing and of course the Moog synthesizer can be heard as part of the albums tonal fabric.

Jan and Tobi initially met playing together in a rock band - Tobi on the keys and Jan on the drums. But as the progression in the rock band came to a halt they both quit, and started killing their time with lengthy tracks and electronic soundscapes..

..up until a warm, late and boozy summer night in Tobi's garden: Jan could again be heard raising songs at the camp fire, and two friends began urging these recordings..
