I’m back again Do you still recognize me? I’m back again You hoped you’d made me realize That I’m not wanted I have these tunes You may have hoped I’d realized That they’re not wanted I have these tunes That I have made this year Wrong kind of music Getting no acclaim And those who tolerate it Deserve nothing but shame Wrong kind of music Every sound is wrong At this point I can be certain It's not your favorite song Wrong kind of music Is what I always make But I hope one day there’s someone Who enjoys it by mistake Wrong kind of music Every sound is wrong At this point I can be certain It's not your favorite song You hoped you’d make me so depressed that I could not go on And for a year I’ve mostly stayed in bed But I’ve made some songs I have these tunes You may have hoped I’d realized That they’re not wanted I have these tunes That I have made this year Wrong kind of music Is what I always make But I hope one day there’s someone Who enjoys it by mistake Wrong kind of music Every sound is wrong At this point I can be certain It's not your favorite song Wrong kind of music Is what I always make But I hope one day there’s someone Who enjoys it by mistake Wrong kind of music Wrong kind of wrong At this point I can be certain It's not your favorite song

Someone left a note again Every weekend it’s the same Apologizing for the noise Arabella is her name All this party noise again Dancing, screaming, gramophone Sounds like a hundred people But I think it’s her alone Arabella, Arabella Second floor, flat five I hear every sound When they fly around Her flat and up the stairs Arabella, Arabella On the floor I lie I hear every sound When they fly around My flat and down the stairs I saw her yesterday She was walking up the stairs Looking quite reserved Unhappy, shy and scared Now I’m listening to a record Opera by Richard Strauss But I can’t hear a sound Too much noise in this house Arabella, Arabella Second floor, flat five I hear every sound When they fly around Her flat and up the stairs Arabella, Arabella On the floor I lie I hear every sound When they fly around My flat and down the stairs She doesn’t live here anymore An eviction did occur I think she ceased to exist And I am in love with her But I still hear the sound The noise is still the same Maybe it was made by me Arabella is my name Arabella, Arabella Second floor, flat five I hear every sound When they fly around Her flat and up the stairs Arabella, Arabella On the floor I lie I hear every sound When they fly around My flat and down the stairs

Quiet day Her shadow in the sun It’s afternoon June 1891 She talks about How we could take the stage The fin de siècle Will be our golden age See the town It’s where we used to be seen In someone else’s life In someone else’s life See her now When she’s who I used to be It’s someone else’s life It’s someone else’s life Flying past the artificial sun The time ahead It must be 1981 She looks quite young or maybe it’s her son Maybe it’s me The future has begun See the time It’s where I’d like to be seen In someone else’s life In someone else’s life See her now When she’s who I’d like to be It’s someone else’s life It’s someone else’s life In my life I am shadowed By the sun Can I rise From the shadows To the sun I’m in the shadow And she’s become the sun A minor star In 1921 See the time It’s where we used to be seen In someone else’s life In someone else’s life See her now When she’s who I should have been It’s someone else’s life It’s someone else’s life In my life I am shadowed By the sun Can I rise From the shadows To the sun

I see the town It looks bright and shiny It’s like a painting of a mirage It’s like a painting Hiding the real town Hiding the ruins It’s a mirage I see the space above this old ghost town It’s like a painting of shining stars I’m in a space that’s under the ghost town I see a painting of shining stars I walk around streets and I feel like I’m on a war zone Anyone could kill me now Anyone could kill me now People sitting quietly Humans or reflections Pictures of a distant past Memories of a distant past Do I have to leave this town again I have to leave The space around the town is dark The space around the town is dark Do I have to go to space again I have to go The ghost town has been torn apart The ghost town has been torn apart The spaceship takes me Where my mind can’t take me To the space above the town To the space above the town I see the earth behind me The ruin of the town The space under the town is dark The space under the town is dark Heavy gravity Crushing me Anti-gravity Lifting me On the surface Alert: blue light Underground Alert: black light Creatures sitting quietly Humanoids or trees Pictures of this planet’s past Memories of this planet’s past Everything’s the same In every space I ever find Do I have to go to space again I have to go To the space under the ghost town The space under the ghost town Do I have to leave this star again I have to leave The space behind the star is dark The space behind the star is dark Fly past the sounds and Past the mirage Fly past the whispers Into the silence Fly past the ocean Fly past the mountain From the mirage and Into the ghost town

From the park I see The building near the shore In need of renovation Since the last war I think I see a ghost When I reach the door But I sneak inside Staring at the floor People in the lobby Quietly appear Look almost transparent I hope they don’t come near Are they about to drown me The water’s coming in Leaking through the ceiling I feel it on my skin The feeling in my finger Like a deadly curse And the healing water Makes it even worse I look into the pool My reflection looks at me Distorted, pale and vague Something I can hardly see By the pool I linger This is a deadly curse And the freezing water Makes it even worse I fall into the water It bubbles like champagne I flow out of the pool and down the drain From the park I see My figure near the shore In need of resurrection Since the last war I'm looking through the air My reflection looks at me Am I a reflection It can hardly see Sitting near the void I’m beginning to forget Who I was last year When I’d not been here yet My thoughts are flying past me Or are they butterflies They fly around the leaves Towards the skies Sitting on the terrace I’m beginning to forget Who I was last year When I’d not been here yet I’ll have a glass of water You can have champagne This day of nothingness Can almost heal my pain

about

2020 was a hard year. It was hard for the whole World but I had many personal reasons as well. I felt fear, anxiety and depression. I was humiliated and insulted. As early as in January I considered not continuing with Possible Space. But soon I felt that making music was the best way to deal with these difficult things. Then I heard a song about the "wrong kind of music". Or so I though. I found out that the title of the song was Make Your Own Kind of Music. It was written by Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann – the authors of some of the greatest songs in the history of popular music. The singer was Cass Elliot of The Mamas and the Papas. The song didn’t make the rest of 2020 easier. But it was the thing that inspired me to start making the album Wrong Kind of Music.

In Possible Space I’ve mostly done whatever I want to do. This time listening to other people’s opinions felt even more pointless. I want people to listen to my music but especially this time I made it mostly for myself. Some of the songs on the album are not far from the style of earlier music by Possible Space while a few of them may be a bit different. Everything is inspired by the things I did, felt and pondered in 2020 and early 2021. I can’t really say if anybody else can see Wrong Kind of Music as a concept album about the year 2020. Maybe not unless their life is exactly the same as mine. In fact, the album is not exclusively about 2020 but about a period of 130 years, reflecting my nostalgic thoughts during these difficult times. The most important time period may be the years after the end of World War I.

Even thought the beginning has been troublesome, I hope the new "Goldene Zwanziger" are about to begin. And I hope the 30s and the 40s will not be what they were in the 20th century.
