I"m now taking a six-week digital detox vacation. We"ll see and hear from each other again in 2026! Happy Holidays! "Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain"t. My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career. As a child, I sang Bach in the church"s „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother

Die Gute Zeit

2025/06/03

Damals im Park, nach Mitternacht Dein Hoodie zu groß, wir haben gelacht Ich war voll Liebe, du voll Fragezeichen Gemeinsam stellten wir uns neue Weichen Der Mond hing schief, doch alles war rund Null Ahnung von morgen, egal! Na und? Wir redeten Blödsinn und taten so klug Wir hatten nichts – uns war das genug! Und ich schwör, kein Plan, wohin das ging Wir waren frei – genau unser Ding Wie ein Kugelblitz traf mich Dein Blick Ich war wie besoffen vor Glück Das war die gute Zeit – Mit Dosenbier,

You Shine On Me

docredder ·

2025/06/01

Woke up slow, the sky was gray, Thought my smile had gone away. But then I heard your voice so clear, And all my doubts just disappeared. You don’t need to say too much, Just your laugh, your little touch— It’s like the sun comes through the rain, And I feel alright again. You shine on me, Like the morning light, easy and free. You shine on me, Like a melody that sets me free. When the world’s too much to be, You shine on me. Traffic hums, the city’s loud, People rushing in a crowd. But you’re my

Little Blue Planet

2025/05/30

Love, faith, hope — that's what we know, Round and round the Earth will go. Shining bright in skies so wide, Love, faith, hope are on our side. Way out there, the stars all gleam, But here on Earth, we laugh and dream. Hold my hand, don’t feel alone, This small blue world is still our home. Love, faith, hope — that's what we know, Round and round the Earth will go. Shining bright in skies so wide, Love, faith, hope are on our side. Look up high, the stars all glow, Even when the winds may

Run, Run, Run!

Barefoot kids in summer light, Chasing dreams in open air, Hands like wings, their hearts in flight, No tomorrow, no despair. Daisies woven, games begun, Spinning wild beneath the sun, Shouts of joy like morning bells, Freedom's song that gently swells. Run, run, run where the wild things play, Sun on your face, no price to pay. Run, run like you’ve never known a wall, Catch that joy before it falls. Rolling hills and skies so wide, Hopes like paper planes they glide. One small leap, a fearless

Vatertag

docredder ·

2025/05/28

This is a sing-along, boozy song about a typically German tradition: the Father's Day bike ride. On Ascension Day (39 days after Easter Sunday), which is also celebrated in Germany as Father's Day, all German fathers hop on their bikes and, fully loaded with barbecue equipment and, above all, plenty of alcohol, ride to the countryside with their friends to celebrate Father's Day with bratwurst and beer. Since everyone is already tipsy before they even set off, fights and accidents are a common

So Easy To Die (When You Stop Being Alive)

docredder ·

2025/05/26

The kids don’t run, they float in chairs, With VR pets and pixel stares. Recess now is ranked online, And hopscotch got replaced by "Grind XP+9". It’s so easy to die, When you stop being alive. When your thoughts are streamed and pre-approved, And every word is auto-moved. Why read a book or draw a line, When AI paints and plots just fine? It’s so easy to die— Just lean back and comply. No more guitars, no dancing feet, The bots perform, and always beat. Diabetes hums like static buzz, And no one

I Let The Machine Decide

2025/05/25

Woke up late, couldn't pick a shirt,So I asked my phone, it said: go with dirt. I skipped the news, just checked the vibe, It told me who to love and what to swipe. I let the machine decide, What's wrong, what's right, what feels inside. I just scroll, and sleep at night. I let the machine decide, My fear, my hope, my foolish pride. I'm not confused, I'm pacified, I let the machine decide. Coffee’s strong, my thoughts are weak, Got no opinion, just what Siri speaks. The app says walk, the fridge

Wanderlight

2025/05/24

I left you in the quiet rain, No fight, no storm, just slow refrain. You didn’t see the way I broke, Smiling as I softly spoke. I took the train past midnight skies, Through foreign lands, through stranger's eyes. Not to forget, no, not to mend — Just to feel something else again. Wanderlight, carry me far, Past every wish, past every scar. I don’t need her name to breathe, I found my soul beneath the leaves. Wanderlight, I let her go, She was the ache I used to know. Vienna waltzed me through my

Hope Is How We Rise

docredder ·

2025/05/21

It starts as a whisper, soft and small, A flicker in the dark, barely there at all. But even in silence, it starts to grow, A seed in the soil, beneath the snow. It lives in the hands that reach, not close, In strangers’ smiles, in letters we chose. It’s breath on the glass when the frost won’t fade, It’s truth we tell when we’re most afraid. Hope is how we rise, How we fight with open eyes. It’s the fire in the cold, The young turning bold. It’s the dream we dare to write, Though the ending’s out

Still Got A Light On

2025/05/21

It’s been a while... but not too late. Back then it was every second week, Coffee cups, long talks, no need to speak. You knew my silence, I knew your laugh, The kind of bond time never halves. Then came the job, the move, the miles, Different skies, different dials. We said we’d stay close, we really tried — But distance wins when the days just fly. Still got a light on, still got a key, Still got your name in my melody. Even through the pause and space in between, You were always here in every

Die Anzeige sagt „Zug ist pünktlich“ – fein. Es ist acht Uhr drei und ich steig ein. Dann die Durchsage: „Störung im Netz“ Wie immer – die Deutsche Bahn ist ein Witz. Das Bistro leer, kein Personal! Ich will’n Kaffee, verdammt noch mal! Nix zu trinken, nix zu beißen! Auf diesen Service kann man scheißen! Ich halt’s nicht aus, bin echt K.O., Keine verdammten Infos, keinen Flow, Frag den Schaffner: „Wo ist mein Anschluss, Bro?“ Der grinst: „Der nächste Halt ist Nirgendwo.“ Null Service, Trinken,

Ich komm aus’m Dorf, den Kopf voller Songs, Wollt ein bisschen Fame, ein bisschen Glanz, Die Dorfband war geil, die Bühne zu klein, Ich wollt nach Berlin, da muss ich sein! Der süße Paul mit sexy Charme, ganz klar, Sprach: „Baby, ich mach dich zum Star!“ So verließ ich die Berge, verließ meinen Ort, Mit Paul nach Berlin, für immer fort! Männer, Musik und Moneten – Ich wollte alles, wollt alles erleben. Doch was blieb, war ein schlüpfriges Kleid, Ein Kind auf’m Arm und ’ne beschissene Zeit. Männer,

Bad News Are Upsetting

docredder ·

2025/05/18

They say the world is on fire,That kindness is tired, and truth’s in a cage. The headlines scream in thunder and ink, But hearts speak softer from page to page. I see the neighbor lend a hand, The stranger pause to help me stand. But still we scroll and still we sigh — It’s hard to trust when all feels high and dry. Bad news is upsetting. Good news – hard to believe. If we never trust each other, What kind of world do we weave? Bad news is upsetting. Good news – hard to believe. But I’ll believe

Love Is What We Choose

2025/05/17

Love is more than holding hands, More than words in wedding bands. It’s every voice that dares to speak, And every soul that helps the weak. Love is work and love is rest, The fire that drives us to our best. It’s waking up and choosing light, Even when the world wants night. Love is what we choose, In the silence and the news. It’s in freedom, it’s in truth, In the dreams we chase in youth. It’s the hand we reach across, When there’s nothing left but loss. Love is what we choose. Love is peace

Der Nackedei von Norderney

Der Flitzer kam von nirgendwo, Barfuß und nackig – na, hallo?! Mit Grinsen breit wie ’ne Wand, Flitzte er mit Speed über'n Strand. Wie Sonic, der Super-Schnelle, Sprang über Beine, Tücher, Bälle, Und rief im Flug, total befreit: „Vorsicht! – Bin heiß und fettig heut!“ Der Nackedei von Norderney, Ist schneller als die Polizei! Ein Schrei, ein Lachen – und vorbei, Das war der Nackedei von Norderney! Die Leute dachten: „Das is’ ja nett, Doch langsam nervt’s, das wird zu fett.“ Die Omi ruft: „So kann

It’s colder in this little town, since they laid old...

He slept beneath the overpass, A paper crown, a broken flask. A laugh too loud, a story wild, The city's fool, the city's child. He’d tip his hat, he’d hold your door, Say, “Life’s too short to keep the score.” And though he smelled of wine and rain, He never once complained of pain. Now there’s silence where he stood, And Prince still waits like all dogs would. No more songs with slurred demand, No more joy with shaky hands. It’s colder in this little town, Since they laid old Earnest down. We
