Storyteller 05:07
Storyteller (w+m: mats regen) Enter my plane and I will bring you to Avalon Turn up the gain and I will write you an artrock song Today is the day I’m gonna tell you a tale About the princess Amaze and the love she’s looking for Enter my space and I will build you a private moon Your friend’s meeting there in a wild west star saloon I think today is the day you’ll need to listen to tales Changing time and place to find a world you’ve seen before There will be times you’ll need a storyteller Who takes a rest at your front door Be prepared, he is a dream sea sailor And on that sea there are no laws You’ll gonna hit the stars You’ll gonna meet the seven dwarfs You just have to do the start Enter my train and I will bring you to Neverland The ticket’s for free and the railway never ends There ‘ll be no late-news today to blow this moment’s away The tales are gonna stay and be your friends when you’re alone There will be times you’ll need a storyteller To keep your inner child alive ‘cause today’s world prefers the biggest sellers but selling dreams is not alright You’ll gonna hit the stars You’ll gonna meet the seven dwarfs You just have to do the start Dream apart The way is not too far There comes a time you’ll need a storyteller Who takes a rest at your front door Be prepared, he is a dream sea sailor And on that sea there are no laws You’ll gonna hit the stars You’ll gonna meet the seven dwarfs You just have to do the start

The watcher and the child (w+m: mats regen) Deep in the forest between oak tree leaves There hides a girl who’s still awake when you sleep Her night is her secret She floats through the streets And she watches over her trees Darling, please don’t forget to pass my house When eyes are closed, I need someone who can see for me A watcher to entrust my peace I’m sure that you once heard her voice singing sweet Tree’s lullabies that you imagined in your dreams But I know her secret and she knows my soul so she watches over my home Darling, please don’t forget to sing our song With opened eyes, you need someone who can dream for you A child that loves the things you do To explain it is always wrong These things are stranger than a song

Spring Snow 03:41
spring snow (w+m: mats regen) verse 1 spring snow’s an achievement of our present and our present is more pleasant when we get a cold kings know how to turn a revolution and lead the crowd into confusion that makes them clean his roads bridge 1 when the picture on your own familiar screen’s in a bad quality take your hand on your receiver they tell you secrets that you’ll never know they tell another story here comes another story show chorus the only truth is in your heart but a scientist has found a key... no,no- I’d never trust that story Create yourself a piece of art You’ll sell it to your biggest enemies no,no- I’d never trust that story I’d never trust that story show Verse 2 Old mum pushed a sword into her neighbour She’d enough of his behaviour and his rotten shoes The whole class put the blame on little poppit ‘cause she’s a mate of little hobbit and all the other fools bridge 2 when the jingle to the picture on your screen’s the charming melody your whole family’s in a fever await the secrets that they’ll never know await another story here comes another story show

Stagediver 05:45
stagediver (w+m: mats regen) verse 1 they borrow their sorrows from newspapers' headlines but it's not a trust fund they won't pay them back verse 2 the devil had travelled a long way to heaven but when he arrived he just saw it was wrecked bridge 1 and I feel the deal has failed I'm not the dog who wags his tail for everyone chorus: I only dive into another crowd to get in touch with faces of my town just for tonight there are some people who can catch me when I fall will they catch me when I fall and wave me away? verse 3 the skinheads are skinned but they shout their sad rhymes their moms are so shocked but still cook their meals verse 4 the actor's director's a serious inspector the bullets he shoots in his films were so real bridge 2 and I feel the deal has failed I'm not the dog who wags his tail for everything chorus I only dive into another crowd to get in touch with people of your kind chorus will you catch me when I fall and carry me away?

Cows 05:26
Cows (w+m: mats regen) the cows are flying low their milkflakes fall like snow and they seem to grow the spoilsports won the game a newsman went insane I forgot his name I’m losing touch I’d like to kiss the screens I’d like to lick a tambourine I know you changed the winning team A shortcut is a Watergate I sleep but I accelerate my car It seems I’ll come too late I’m losing touch I went to face the plague Full of other late night drags+ Or is it all a fake? I’m losing touch

Spacecake 05:15
spacecake (w+m: mats regen) we check our new invention we've called it space car its clever built construction's made to reach the stars we're lifting off the ground touching the clouds drunken angels blaming us for burning down their towns hotel room supper waits but we do not appear until now noone had noticed we're not there chorus mayday! we're going to sink in a spacecake our master is leading us into disaster mummy! I've got an ache in my tummy could you leave the light on tonight? we choose a new direction it's getting too quiet we thought to hear a goggle box that plays good tunes tonight our map is leading us into nowhere we've never seen this place before of course we do not care did you see the shooting star that crawled with elephants? let's wish we'd never have to go to bed again chorus

The only friend (w+m: mats regen) Hey! Where have you been today? You did not come out to play My road it seems so silent now Without your breathless voice You never talk to people But they always talk ‘bout you Maybe you’re afraid of them And ran away from here You have got an unusual face Act in unusual ways Ran up and down the street Without any person to meet ‘cause Ché’s your only friend Hey! I remember yesterday When all the people stood and stared At you sitting on the kerb stone’s edge Crying out a lot of tears I know that I am not to blame But I can’t help it, feel ashamed That I didn’t understand a word Of all the things he screamed he has got an unusual face Acts in unusual ways Ran up and down the street But there was no person to meet ‘cause Ché’s his only friend I’d like to see him run again His laughter sounds so innocent I’d like to hear him laugh again Now only engine’s noise out there All the silence leaves me scared I’ve lost a piece of home today I hope his friend will care ‘bout him

about

this is my debut EP which was recorded 2003-2006 at Sperrton Studio in Hamburg and released in 2007 with 300 copies only.

THEY ARE ALL SOLD OUT.

It had never been released online yet as I didn't quite identify with most of the songs anymore.

But looking back after 15 years I have to admit that the songs and arrangements still have a certain ambition and beauty and that the recordings still sound quite impressive if you take into consideration they were all recorded in a tiny attic room.

This project would have never been possible without the patience and forgiveness of all collaborators, especially of Matthias Jürgens,
who beared me in his home studio for more than 2 years!

I was also lucky to have the artwork created by the amazing Martin Miotk
who is now a reputeable stage designer and director.

So I decided that I'd like to make these songs available again after 15 years. Enjoy - but please be aware that this is just a reference of the past.

about

our blanket skies Germany

some years ago this odd but gentle troubadour and storyteller who is aka "our blanket skies" went out for a long walk and didn't even write a postcard. For once he wrote a few new tunes in the meanwhile and is looking forward to present them to you as soon as he's finished the dishes. ... more
