Underneath a burning sun
There's always work to be done
We take much more than we care to give away

You'll be the moth, I'm the flame
I'll bless you and keep you safe and sound
Until sunrise comes around again

I'm like a mountain made of stone
I'm like a new day dawning
I'll be here every morning, close to you

We'll sail on a river, way out to the Baltic sea
Love will keep us together
And the tide will draw you close to me
(Never words so true, never words so wise)
Love will keep us together
'Cause there's more to this than meets the eye

I burn a candle in your place
I picture the passions on your face
Feelings that rise on a wave and fall away

All the pleasures have returned
All of the lessons I should have learned
Return again to light, for us to see

You're like the map of buried gold
I search for treasures in your soul
And when I'm gone, you'll know I will come back to you

We'll sail on a river, way out to the Baltic sea
Love will keep us together
And the tide will draw you close to me
(Never words so true, never words so wise)
Love will keep us together
'Cause there's more to this than meets the eye

I'm like a mountain made of stone
I'm like a new day dawning
I'll be here every morning, close to you

Mick Karn (July 24th 1958 – January 4th 2011)

In the beginning 1980's,

when I discovered the British band

JAPAN,

I not only encountered,

by their singer

David Sylvian,

a voice that would be special to me

over the decades

until today.

I discovered their bass player

Mick Karn.

Apart from the bass guitar,

he played many instruments,

he sang,

 composed music,

wrote lyrics,

he drew and painted,

and he was a sculptor.

Yet,

Mick's unique way of
playing the fretless bass guitar

was what hit me.

It was like nothing I had ever heard before:

Melodic, complex,

downright unpredictable,
iconic, archetypal,

and of the utmost beauty.

No one among my friends

back then in the 1980's

and until now

ever shared my fascination

for Mick's way of making music.

I did not care.

And I still don't.

I am used to finding stuff

that gets into the very core of me

as if it belonged there from the beginning

and yet

is something that is mine alone

because

no one else I know can really get on board with it
or even knows about it in the first place.

It is a lonely way of cherishing things.

But: I don't mind.

I am glad that I found Mick's music,

that it has been so fascinating for me

over all these years,

and this will always be so.

Godspeed, Mick.

I'll see you in another life, brother.

There's seriously not a single day passing by,
that I do not watch this video.

Although I must say that
"listen to the video"
nails it better.

Repercussions from the Soul
don't need no pictures
from the outside.

I got in close touch with a topic these days that moves me very much and weighs me down - bullying. Nothing really new, I know. But it's always different if this kind of abuse affects someone you know and like.

This has happened to me just the other day, and I felt a deep need to do something, to raise attention and awareness, and to offer a boost of courage and self-esteem.

Bullying concerns us all. Either as being a victim - all too often without any one knowing, even the closest of friends or family. Or as being someone who becomes aware of abuse, of brutality, of violence and grief that a child has to suffer.

FOR KEL, the first video I made, is as a present for someone special, but also as an attempt of a beacon for every child that is in a situation where it has to fear every day for his physical health - and mental sanity.

FOR US, the video you are watching now, is first and foremost for grown-ups.

Everyone of us has been a child once, everyone has maybe been maltreated once in a while. And some of us experienced the same form of physical and mental abuse that many, so many of our children have to suffer from today. This is nothing to be ashamed of. But it should make us wary, and ready to help.

Bullying is no joke.

Bullying is no peccadillo.

Bullying is a serious form of abuse,

and the victims need our help:

The help of teachers, of educators,

of friends and family.

And even if you become witness to a child being bullied that is not your own, and none whatsoever related to you ... This child needs your help anyway. With all you can do, how little it may be.

I'm making these videos for just that exact reason. I'm far away from where the things I refer to are happening, and yet I do what little I can with that.

If you are close to someone in need - then don't close your eyes.

Reach out a hand.

Offer a friendly word.

Dry some tears.

You are needed.
