Darlin' - I've given you my soul I'm fallin' - into your world I hear you callin' - You call my name and I come running. I can see - the doors of heaven opening up I keep on running don't let it stop 'cause I know - it is done with the power of love I'm falling in love - oh I know it's true, it's me and you I'm falling in love - Do you feel it too? Please say you do! Mergin' - our lives to one You know I urging! You are the one that like a surgeon - can cut me loose and ease my burden. Call me - call my name and you will see me I'm not the same now that you need me My empty life has got a meaning I can see - the doors of heaven opening up I keep on running don't let it stop 'cause I know - it is done with the power of love I'm falling in love - oh I know it's true, it's me and you I'm falling in love - Do you feel it too? Please say you do! BREAK I'm falling in love - oh I know it's true, it's me and you I'm falling in love - Do you feel it too? Please say you do! Oh I know it's true it's me and you I'm fallin' in love - Do you feel it too - please say you do!

RAP The film is over and the lights come on and you sit there in your sweat but you're feelin' strong. 'cause you know that film is fantasy, and nothing like it is reality. But even so, you don't really know, what's going on when you're down below. When you're dreamin', anything can happen and a demon, like Freddy can do what he wants to. So, time to weep, you little creep he's gonna get you in your sleep!

M. - the U. - the S. I. C. - Music - feels good to me if it's funk, rock, disco, reggae or slow- it doesn't matter as long as it makes you wanna go Dig any kind any melody You can be any way you wanna be I know what it's about now you listen to me cause my life's a funkin' symphony I've got music funkin' up my brain I've got music flowin' through my vain I've got music easin' up my pain Talkin' about - music - music - music - music Music in the mornin' - Music in the night Music to help you keepin' up the fight No matter where you come from or the color of your skin Music is there to help you win In every home and in any land There's some powerful music to give you a hand I know what it's about now you listen to me cause my life's a funkin' symphony I've got music funkin' up my brain I've got music flowin' through my vain I've got music easin' up my pain Talkin' about - music - music - music - music I've got music funkin' up my brain I've got music flowin' through my vain I've got music easin' up my pain Talkin' about - music - music - music - music If it's a Discoteque or the radio or a tape playin' loud on your stereo It's music - the power of life let it get into you and ease the strife You listen to the tunes in times of sorrow it goes into your bones and there's a new tomorrow I know what it's about now you listen to me cause my life's a funkin' symphony I've got music funkin' up my brain I've got music flowin' through my vain I've got music easin' up my pain Talkin' about - music - music - music - music I've got music funkin' up my brain I've got music flowin' through my vain I've got music easin' up my pain Talkin' about - music - music - music - music

DJ 05:01
DJ - the one behind the sound DJ - the one who spins you round and round DJ - the one who plays the track DJ - the one who gives you a rap attack Doing DJ isn't always a whole lot of fun cause sometimes you just want to pick your things up and run There are always some people that wanna make you sad they laugh and point their fingers if you do something bad There are a lot of things that can go wrong I'm gonna tell you bout them things in this here little song so listen up everybody in the place tonight You'd better be good to your DJs and treat 'em right If you play the wrong record you will soon find out what it sounds like when a pretty girl starts to shout "come on mr DJ - stop playing that crap And take a good advice and shape up your rap! And if you make a live remix that sounds really well there will be somebody anyway who says that you smell Cause he just couldn't take that the song had changed and I'd better just stop or get my nose rearranged Now three and a half minutes might seem a long time But looking for a track isn't flippin' a dime It takes skill to know what makes people go are you starting building up going fast or slow? Sometimes you get lost in your exploration Time flies by and there's no automation Suddenly you realize that the time is up and before you know it all the sound will just stop! Shit! I'll just spin this again Now someone has been nagging about a song all night And against better judgment, you say - well all right Now you stand there looking sad with an empty floor And she says play it again cause I was out the door Then a guy comes up shouting - give me a beer! You say - I'm the DJ and the bar is over there He looks you up and down saying - I don't care! Give it to me now or you'd better be 'ware!

Dressin' Up 04:05
Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Look at all the people hanging out here tonight What do you see? A lot of hidden faces staying out of the light like you and me. Everybody's playing by the rules of the game Why is it so? A lot of different people but they all look the same. Everywhere you go. Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Just look around It would be profound if you could see who people really are You would be free If you could see Just hear my plea Branch out the tree Spoken: Instead of rows and rows of the same flowers we could have fields upon fields of exploding colors Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Imagine if the crowd could start to be who they are That would be right Instead of being posers hanging out by the bar What a delight People get together let the sun start to shine Let's stop the rain Open up the doors to life cause now is the time to drop the chains Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Now here's the pickle: Even if you're part of a small group of alternates saying everybody else is wrong. You still need to have the look and accessories to show that you belong Break Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town Hide your face behind a mask and move around

Take a look at the world now - It's the only one we've got. All them people who know how - but the temperature is getting hot. Just be friendly - maybe help me - it won't cost you very much If you help me - I'll remember - then I could help someone else. Look at the world - What do you see? The only place to be for you and me. Look at the world and count to three. It will be a place without a tree. Shape up! No time for debating - Oh it could be a better place. Don't stand around waiting - and go without leaving a trace If you can do - I think you should too Then you've started - the uncharted the founding of a new world is done with room for everyone. Look at the world - What do you see? The only place to be for you and me. Look at the world and count to three. It will be a place without a tree. Shape up! Shape up! Shape up! Look at the world - What do you see? The only place to be for you and me. Look at the world and count to three. It will be a place without a tree. Shape up! Look at the world - What do you see? The only place to be for you and me. Look at the world and count to three. It will be a place without a tree. Shape up!

about

I made a lot of tracks that were never released in the 80s and the beginning of the 90s. Some of them had samples that posed a problem.
A few of them have followed me ever since and I finally decided to remake them and release them, but instead of using samples I have used my own voice to recreate the samples.

One track was actually released on vinyl back then - I'm Fallin' In Love.
But, I believe this version is indeed better.

released December 1, 2023

Special thanks to Amplitude Problem who has been with me since the actual 80s. It feels so good to have finally released Freddy's Dead.

Karl Magi - ABSYNTH

"“Then When?” is an album that is full of exuberant energy, a powerful groove-based low end and Damokles’ inevitable sense of fun and excitement along with his unforgettable keytar solos and unending playfulness within each track. I enjoy hearing the fact that all of the elements that define his music have been there all along."
