My Longing Is Holding Me Tight by Karlit-O-Kay (K-O-K) published on 2020-03-28T06:52:17Z This song is dedicated to one of my best friends. A fascinating person, but one who is permanently under the pressure of electricity, driven by a burning desire for deep inner peace and yet constantly restlessly searching. In one of our intensive conversations he said about himself: "My longing is holding me tight". - And in this way the title of this song was born. Yesterday he called me and said: “Karl, the Corona crisis is terrible on the one hand. It creates a lot of illness, financial threats and, due to the increasing restrictions on the exit, possibly an escalation of violence. On the other hand, the rapid disruption of everything that has been my daily habits forces me to face more of the three basic questions of life that I have been running away from so often: Who am I really? How do I want to shape the relationship with my loved ones?And: What place do I basically want to take in society and the world?” And then something happened that I had not known about him before: He paused, and there was a pleasant silence on the phone line. Finally he said: "You might be surprised; with all the shit that Corona brings with it, the forced deceleration associated with it does me a tremendous amount of good. I finally get a little bit of that inner peace I've always longed for.” Maybe this little monologue of my friend will help all those who are struck with the Corona crisis (...and therefore me, too) to see in this current "world tsunami" also a chance for profound change... My longing is holding me tight I am so drunk again. Have just drained the whole Wissky The Corrupting Scoundrels Stand with me in a “fake flirtation” My soul full of holes Uninhabited and unfournished My hands on endless search after a drop From the sea of love far away from me The meadows in me full of scars The skies inside me: Starless The garish colours have been melted away The once so wet womb is almost dried out My Longing is holding me tight Holding me tight Alwas played for my life Often I begged the moon To float free for a second For a moment, that happiness invites me Used to sleep in tall trees Built myself deep caves there Sought peace among grazing sheeps Confided in healers and gurus Inside me the murmur of the graves The sound of the demons howling I'm eternally put off till later Been fooled so many times by a will-o'-the-wisp My Longing is holding me tight Holding me tight Genre SCFIRST Comment by David Hoade very cool 2021-03-27T16:33:21Z Comment by crocodile1 very beautiful and sad song, Karl... 2020-12-05T09:10:37Z Comment by 101 Evolve Nice song, i recognized a little bit the new marillion within the voice. 2020-11-10T09:05:44Z Comment by Kayla I like, it's a very nice song 2020-10-30T06:46:17Z Comment by Chri ❤️ 2020-10-16T17:01:01Z Comment by Alan Hamilton A lovely track, so well performed and super production..... 2020-07-27T07:26:32Z Comment by Walkin' in Pa's Footsteps right on /awesome 2020-07-25T12:54:56Z Comment by 樂天則 A deep performance conveys pity 🥁🌞🎶 2020-07-07T13:52:46Z Comment by LawyerOnTheLoose Just wonderful!! 2020-07-07T00:49:52Z Comment by Jay Arana special arrangement, special song, such atmosphere 2020-07-01T10:28:21Z Comment by Frans Beelaard Very nice tune..Awesome guitar..Love the vocal track & recording! 2020-06-30T10:31:26Z Comment by Studio 3045 Amazing smooth love it 2020-06-29T17:21:40Z Comment by Studio 3045 So lovely. 2020-06-29T17:19:07Z Comment by soGma Wow !!!
