"Schau Mit Liebe", a poem by Goethe, voiced out by Frank M. Spinath

Hast du einen Menschen gern So musst du ihn versteh'n.
Musst nicht immer hier und da Seine Fehler seh'n.
Schau mit Liebe und Verzeih' Denn am Ende bist
Du selbst nicht fehlerfrei.

If you like somebody
Try to understand him/her
Refrain from pointing out his/her mistakes all the time
Let love guide your view and forgiveness because in the end
You have many flaws yourself

"DJ Kling Klang", by Bertrand Burgalat

This is DJ Kling Klang, on 66,5 FM
This is strange but it seems we're the only radio on the airwaves tonight
Could this be the last radio broadcast ever ?
Well, if that's the case let's just wrap this world in music and love.


"So Long", by JP Aston

You're gonna miss me when I'm dead
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna want me to come back
You're gonna say Baby come back
You'll cry like a baby, baby, baby, baby
Weeping over my cold flesh & my bones
You're gonna love me when I'm dust in your hand
You're gonna love me
You're gonna miss me when I'm dead
You'll cry like a baby, baby, baby baby
Weeping over my cold flesh & my bones
You're gonna love me when I'm dust in your hand
You're gonna love me
You're gonna want me to come back
You're gonna say Baby come back
You're gonna miss me when I'm dead
You're gonna miss me when I'm dead & gone
You're gonna want me to come back
You're gonna say So Long
So long
You're gonna cry baby so long
So long


"The Last Love Song", by Anna Domino

At sunset I can be
Founds staring sightlessly
Dreaming of your embrace
Each feature of your face...

Hours pass and still
I cannot find the will
To turn as daylight fades
Windows to mirrors made

It's not going to be
All that easy getting over me
And if you do play hard
You know I hold the final card... baby

Looking over this empty street
There's nothing out there till you hit concrete
What looks a long way down
Flies by without a sound... my love

You are my champion
When things come undone
You cross swords with melancholy

The longer you stay gone
The more things can go wrong
Without your trust in me

Now as darkness falls
My heart calls out and time just crawls.
Was it hours or yesterday
Since I saw you turn and walk away ?

Looking down on the street again
I watch the headlights in the driving rain
In the shadows that flicker past
I sense the nearness of you, at last
At last...


"Never Take Fire", by Ghost & Writer

Cracks in the shell
You‘re not doing so well
You‘re hoping for a raid
You‘re dying to get laid

You start talking to strangers
You‘ve dropped all demands
Your head is in a sling
You‘ll do anything
Anything

You keep scratching the faces off coins you‘ve collected
As part of your dream
Of a picture-book future
Full of picturesque scenes
You descent
All the way to the end
Cause a sere soul
Merely glows like coal It never takes fire
It never takes fire

From in front of you
From behind of you
From the side of you
From above
From below
The walls are closing in
Real slow
All the lights up in the sky
Still you don‘t know how to fly


"The Reassuring Undertone" by Dark Poem

I'm the whisper in your ear
The reassuring undertone
The forgotten way you've always known
I'm the unexpected sign
Your lighthouse and lifeline
let me be your lullaby

Stick with me I'm here
Don't get lost at sea my love
I'll find you on the shore
Listen now be still
I'm the angel in your abdomen
I'll lead you yes I will

Breathe in breathe out
Life is easy life is light

When lost in troubled waters
I'm the anchor hangin' down
the wind that's whisteling all around
Just keep breathing in and out
no more confusion nor doubt
shake off the dirt covering your mind


"L'amour c'est la mort" by Jacques Duvall

L'amour
C'est la mort
C'est un killer
Un matador

L'amour
C'est la mort
En espagnol El amor

C'est la mort de l'égo
Alors
Let's go

Pour que ça vibre
Que ça respire
Pour enfin vivre
Il faut mourir

Pour connaître
Le meilleur et le pire
Pour enfin naître
Il faut mourir

L'amour
C'est la mort
De la nuit
C'est une aurore

C'est la mort
De l'inertie
C'est un transport
C'est la vie

L'amour
C'est la mort
Du silence
Une suite d'accords

C'est la mort de l'égo
Alors
Let's go


This is Matt Johnson from Radio Cineola
And you're listening to what may be the last radio show on Earth...


"The Mother Of All Phone Calls", by The Weathermen

Hello
Is this the Country & Western station 66,5 ?
You know you're the last station out there
There's nobody else, just white noise
The airwaves are empty

So, this is the end, right ?
You don't say anything
So, if this is like the end, my friend, I've got a special request

I know it's not strictly country & western
But could you make me a favour and play some Lynyrd Skynyrd ?
Hey, we're all gonna go out, right ?!
So, send them waves to outer space
And shout it out: "Hey, we're fuck ups, just like you, and proud of it" !


"Yumemite Aino", by Takeko Akamatsu

夢見て愛の
いつもきらり
君のひとみ
その名の由来
退屈なパーティを 抜け出したら泳ぐわ
月は溶け 身体は堕ちてく
星の影を飲んだら ヴィデオテープ返すの
時は焼け メモリは消えてく
夢見て 愛の
いつもゆらり
立ち尽くす僕の手に 握りしめたナイフは
君の訳 などなく裂いてく
そっと目を閉じたなら すべての嘘返すの
息は果て 記憶は閉じてく
yumemite aino itsumo kirari kimino hitomi sononano yurai
taikutsuna partywo nukedashitara oyoguwa tuskiwa toke karadawa ochiteku
tuskino kagewo nondara videotape kaesuno tokiwa yake memorywa kieteku
yumemite aino itsumo yurari
tachitsukusu bokunoteni nigirishimetaknifewa kiminowake nadonaku saiteku
sottomewo tojitanara subetenouso kaesuno ikiwahate kiokuhatojiteku

I was dreaming of you
I was remembering your eyes and your name

I was thinking to escape from this boring party
I was trying to swim but was sinking into the deep sea
I was drinking the drops of the stars
Have you returned the video tape?
It's hard to recall that memory.

I was dreaming of you

I was standing and holding it in my hand
It might hurt you in spite of your excuse
I closed my eyes
now I understand the lies you had to tell
It's hard to breathe and I’m losing my memory


"No Regrets", by Froxeanne

It's all wasted
It's all lost down the drain
No way out
Laugh if you like
This is our very last day
It's all lost down the drain
No way out
It's our last day on earth
Will you ever regret it?
Will you ever regret
All these words untold?
And these lips unkissed?
And these arms you never wanted around you?
But you won't have time
For this is our last day
Our last on earth
It's the end
The last song
The last notes
The last song
The last notes you'll hear
Say you have no regrets
Oh your empty eyes will do the rest
And you gave me no chance
This is our last day on earth
The last song
The last notes


"Into My Arms", by Jenna F.
(words and music by Nick Cave)

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you

Not to touch a hair on your head
And leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you

And to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my...

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms



"Wolves" by Mari & The Ghost

There was a time when i used to be so lonely
So hollowed out so empty you could hear the sounds reverberate inside of me
But the weight of which grounded my feet
And my thoughts are loud recreated in a screaming mute sound

I know you’ve found out there's no need for you anymore
Lost and tired
Strength is silence silence

A great confusion clouds you 'till you yearn for something more
Lost and tired
Strength is silence, silence

What does it take for these wolves to come and find me ?
The stars they call like sirens to arrange my body in the heavens above me


"I Love You, Sandy", by Tom Shear
text from Tom Shear, adapted from Twilight Zone episode "The Long Morrow"

I remember things.
It's more than just void, darkness, unconsciousness.
The mind does work.
There are images, patterns, things to recollect.
It's not just the long, deep sleep that comes when the fear has left.
The cold is felt, the slipping away of feeling is noted and then succumbed to.
The mind functions. Time is distorted, jumbled, telescoped, accordioned, but there is a sense of time even so, and I remember things.

Already I feel a sense of loss. My life had been space. It had been missions, projects and expeditions.
There had been no time for intrusions that took the form of a woman's face, a voice, a man and a woman drawing together, becoming a part of one another, reaching tentatively into that strange and mysterious pond of love and then watching the ripples that came from it.
But now I think of these things, now they come to mind, now in the darkness, in the cold, the solitude, the stillness, the loneliness.
Now there comes a feeling of warmth.
Sandy, where are you now, sandy, across the void? My dear sandy, through the millions of miles of cold, empty space, through the vastness of a naked desert of sky and stars, I love you. I love you, sandy.

I move now, I streak across the sky, I leave an earth behind that changes beyond my closed eyes.
From a warm place of leaves and trees to a cold orb hanging in a dark sky and growing smaller and smaller and smaller.
And time passes.
It inexorably passes.
And I can do nothing about it.


"Goodnight", by Sam Devos

Goodnight my little one
Would love to hold you more
But now it's time to go to bed

Goodnight my little one
Would love to hold you more
But now it's time to rest your head.

Come the morning bright
A new day brings it's light
And I will love to hold you more.

Goodnight my little one
Would love to hold you more
But now it's time to go to sleep.

Come the morning bright
A new day brings it's light
and I will love to hold you more.

Come the morning bright
A new day brings it's light
and I will love you for evermore.


"Dreams All Faded Away" , by Julianne Regan

How's a chap supposed to function
In this ever changing world?
Modern life seems cursed, every bubble's burst
And my dreams all faded away

All we are is clever monkeys
Swinging through tomorrow's trees
To the tick tick tocks of the centuries' clocks
And our dreams all faded away

I was feeling fine during party time
Dancing with my friends and drinking vintage wine
Now we're all staggering home in the morning

Life today has made me weary
Modernism seems so dull
Now what's in store seems a frightful bore
And my dreams all faded away

I'm just clever monkey
Stuck up a tree
Evolution's plan made an unhappy man
And my dreams all faded away
