Million ways 04:18
Watch video to MILLION WAYS: https://www.nrwision.de/mediathek/bilder-lieder-million-ways-210518/ She’s got a million ways To bring a smile upon my face She’s got a million roads To take away my heavy load And when she’s miles away I realize It’s her love I need – no compromise And when she’s miles away I realize It’s her love I need – no compromise I know she will be there To take me anywhere To show me million ways I know she will be there To take me anywhere To show me million ways She’s got a million ways To bring a smile, to bring a smile...

Conquering the edges of this world Watch it closer, all the places we share Making miles through unknown land Diving the ocean we don’t understand Exploring the secrets out in the dark Watching the wheels of endless time Turning around in perfect rhyme Maybe your life – it’s only a spark… And the secret of nature is patience And we go – Along the path that we still don’t know And we hope it is leading us home Maybe a way back to where we came from But it’s like sitting on a diff’rent train You dream of spiral stairs Reaching out to the universe Giving you an overlook To all things passing And the eyes of your world Might be the eyes of my world And if not we’ll find a way Don’t keep the distance, lay down resistance Be curious and play Still we wish to be united, don’t we? And there’s a lot where we agree Could be the chance for ev’ryone All the questions that we have All the needs we care about They are equal ev’rywhere So your solution could be my solution, too If we try and dare...

The song HOW DARE YOU! is dedicated to the work and acting of Greta Thunberg and "Fridays For Future".

It’s only a change in the weather – or what else could it mean? Out of the blue so suddenly occuring like a drama in the scene. You might say it all happened times before But there’s a potency leading to the score And part of it goes as long as you close your eyes But from head to toes and inside your soul you know it’s not right. If there’s no final proof for science, the people won’t believe But they still feel their world a-changing and this feeling gets so deep. You might say it all happened times before There is no exit and there’s no back door Part of it goes as long as you close your eyes As far as I know you were only believing your lies. Oh yes, the world keeps turning, it’s going round and round We don’t believe that it’s burning and lying on the ground. We cannot see that it’s bleeding – we don’t have any sense We’re still far away from healing, ‘cause we do not understand When will we understand, when will we understand? Will we ever understand, will we ever understand?

Time is 04:30
Time is slipping, slipping away Time is flying from day to day Time is marching on, while we get along What is going wrong, so wrong, so wrong? Time is illusion, a construction of life Though time is a healer it cuts like a knife Time is an opera, not only a song Time sings a melody – patient, but strong Time sings a melody – patient, but strong Time is a healer, time is a healer, time is a healer… Time is spinning, spinning around And time is whirling without a sound Time is a stealer of life time Though time is a healer it hurts like a crime Time sings a melody – patient, but strong Time is a healer, time is a healer, time is a healer…

Don’t take it away, we’ve got to finish somehow But don’t let it end, ‘cause we know nothing about Don’t take it away, don’t take it away now Don’t take it away, don’t take it away There is a beauty in your words and a spirit in this night A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere Don’t take it away, don’t take it away now Don’t take it away, don’t take it away If you take it away, it doesn’t make any sense It means nothing at all, if it’s put to an end Don’t take it away, don’t take it away now Don’t take it away, don’t take it away There is a beauty in your words and a spirit in this night A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere We couldn’t get further with the demons around As they stood in ev’ry corner then We had to pull this ship around To bring us back on course again Had to learn being a soldier, had to learn being out there at war Had to fight for my life and what it’s worth fighting for We couldn’t get further with the demons around As they stood in ev’ry corner then We had to pull this ship around To bring us back on course again Don’t take it away Don’t let it end Don’t take it away (don’t take it away now) Oooh, don’t let it end

You can’t take it with you Whatever you possess The more wealth that you gather It’ll lead you to distress You fill your empty pockets With every step you take Your heavy load is growing And your luck becomes a fake The wish to own and rule the world Might keep you on the run But in the end it’s meaningless And dissolving into one And still you’re trapped in longings That matter for your life All these small and big dreams They still make you strive for... The wish to own and rule the world Might keep you on the run But in the end it’s meaningless And dissolving into one Dissolving into one Dissolving into one…

Help me understand The older I get the more questions I have Why are we sitting here Forced by disillusion? And I guess it’s coming around Feelings put to the ground And I guess it’s coming again Sunshine will follow the rain Follow the rain… Why don’t we understand? So many ideas and good helping hands What are we doing here? Ev’rybody’s carrying a heavy weight And I guess it’s coming around Sorrows tearing you down And I guess it’s coming again Sunshine will follow the rain Follow the rain Follow the rain Follow the rain…

about

Rudolf Könen Cologne, Germany

I'm a melodymaker, songwriter, singer & acoustic guitarist from Cologne/Germany.

My music moves between easy going folk and wide harmonic soundscapes, between songs in English, instrumental pieces and songs in German language.

On my albums I present melodic compositions in a harmonious, warm sound - similar to the pop, rock & folk music of the seventies.

Enjoy!
