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

Let Kindness Be Your Stone

docredder ·

2025/04/18

So when the darkness tries to steal the day, Let kindness be your song! With open hearts, we’ll find our way, Let kindness be your stone! Like Babel's hopeful, rising form, Your empathy, a sheltering wall, Integrity, weathering every storm, Tolerance embracing one and all. Plans may shift, and tongues may stray, Your spirit climbs, a beacon bright, A tower built on kindness, day by day, A testament to truth and gentle light. You’re a tower that climbs to greet the sky, Let kindness be your

Life Is Rare

Bright hues dance, a joyous affair, Like sunshine on the waves so free, A canvas whispers, "Life is rare." With rainbow's arc in painted air, The ocean sings its melody, Bright hues dance, a joyous affair. So breathe it in, this hope to share, A taste of life's sweet victory, Bright hues dance, a joyous affair, A canvas whispers, "Life is rare." No room for gloom, no sign of care, Just colors splashed for you and me, A canvas whispers, "Life is rare." Each shape a dream beyond compare, A

Ich bin’s, der große Schuldenkönig. Kommt her zu mir, habt Ihr zu wenig! Aus Schulden-Gold besteht mein Haus, Den Riesen-Safe mess' ich mit Leitern aus. Macht auf! Macht auf! Macht auf die Pforten! Und kommt zu mir von allen Orten! Geladen seid Ihr alle gleich; Denn ich, der Friedrich, zieh’ durch’s Reich. Zeigt Eure Hände und die leeren Börsen her! Nehmt so viel Ihr könnt! Wer will noch mehr? Witzig! Witzig! Heut’ ist’s richtig toll, Alle Hände und Taschen sind schon voll! Ich bin’s, der große

Hey there world, just look at me,Spinning through this symphony. That’s the way it's meant to be. Good vibes rollin’ next to me! Wheels are spinning, sun is high, Zoomin’ past the traffic lights. Wind in my hair, smiling face, It’s my rhythm, it’s my pace. Every turn’s a brand-new song, Feel the beat where I belong. Wave to strangers, skies so blue, Every mile feels fresh and new. Hey there world, just look at me, Spinning through this symphony. That’s the way it's meant to be. Good vibes

A Decent Man

docredder ·

2025/04/12

He sat behind a desk, clean shirt, pressed tie, Polite with a smile and a distant eye. He helped her with her form, said “You’re all set.” Then typed another name, without regret. He never shouted, never drew a gun, Just clocked in early, stayed till the day was done. Each name a whisper, each list a sigh, A careful hand in a quiet lie. Decency is not just social code, Not just the mask that we all uphold. Decency begins where reflection starts, In the beating dignity of another’s heart. They

Born In A Wireframe Dream

docredder ·

2025/04/11

Trapped in scripts, and coded lines. You’re not alone — just out of sync, Drowning slowly in the synths you think. You blink too late — the system hums. It tracks your steps, it weighs your sums. Your voice erased, your thoughts confined, In this machine, what’s left behind? You were born in a wireframe dream, Fed by code and nicotine screens. They gave you purpose, shaped your eyes, Taught you silence, sold you skies. Welcome back, your file remains, Traced in ink and power chains. You're not

Lines In The Concrete

2025/04/09

Lines like shadows, feel the beat, No one sees me, lost in the heat. No pressure on me, like smoke in the air, I glide through the rhythm, without a care. Starlit dreams on cold concrete, This is my turf, where worlds meet. Dance like a flicker, quicken the pace, In the underground, I find my place. I draw lines in the concrete — you don’t see me. Keep my name out your heartbeat — you can’t feel me. No pressure on me, no weight on my chest, I move through the static, I never rest. I walk the edge

Stop By Anytime

2025/04/06

Whatever I do, wherever I roam, I know in my heart — with you, I’m home. When life gets heavy, when nothing feels right, You listen and stay through the night. The coffee cup, the evening wine, I still love to share that time. Just call ahead, drop me a line, If it’s not too far — stop by anytime. Stop by anytime, stop by anytime, I’m always around, Pull up a chair, let's slow this world down. A coffee, a laugh, a glass of red wine, If it’s not out your way, stop by anytime. Your window’s lit, I

Hab Scheiß gebaut, die Frau betrogen, Familie, Freunde, alle belogen. Hab nichts mehr, Frau, Kinder, Job - alles weg, Leb an der Tanke, betrink mich und sing, der Schmerz ist Dreck. Die Gitarre klappert, mein Herz ist leer, Hat alles kein Zweck. Selbst der Hund mag mich nicht mehr. Ich will zurück ins Leben, will nach Haus, Wieder Vater und Mann sein, ich halt’s hier nicht aus. Ok, ich war Scheiße, das jetzt ist nur fair, Will auch kein Mitleid, ertrag’ das nicht mehr. Ich will zurück ins Leben,

Rhénium

2025/04/05

RhéniumRare as a whisper in the wind, Rhénium is one of the Earth’s most elusive elements – hidden in trace amounts deep within the crust, yet vital in the engines that take us to the skies. Its name flows from the ancient river Rhenus, known today as the Rhine, a stream of life and legend winding through the heart of Europe. Just like the metal that bears its name, the Rhine connects worlds: past and future, nature and industry, the poetic and the precise. This song is a tribute to that duality –

Zu viel Gefühl

He's a married man. A father. A well respected citizen. Ten years into a good, solid marriage. But then came she - brilliant, eloquent, beautiful - and suddenly everything shifts. Their affair is a secret fire, hidden in late-night bars and dim back rooms, far from curious eyes. She's unattached, unbothered, while he’s torn between love and lust, loyalty and longing. Is it real? Is it love? Or just the thrill of the forbidden? He wrestles with the truth he’s afraid to name: maybe it’s not her he

Hypnotisch, langweilig und schön.

2025/03/31

She begins to speak – and you lose track of time. A sentence becomes a subordinate clause, a thought a labyrinth, a coffee break an odyssey. But you listen to her. Not because of the content. Not because of the punchline that never comes. But because every word is wrapped in velvet, every pause sounds like a wink, and because her silence is almost as beautiful as her speech. "Hypnotic, boring and beautiful" is a declaration of love to all those who never get to the point – and have found an art

Wir Müssen Reden

Dein Glas steht noch da, halb leer,Wie dein Blick, traurig und schwer. Du drehst dich weg, Ich schau auf mein Phone, Wir verlieren uns, Sometimes it’s better alone. Wir schlafen Rücken an Rücken, Und keiner sagt mehr was. Nur laute Stille im Loop, Als wär nie was gewesen, so krass! Wir müssen reden, schon seit Tagen, Doch alles bleibt ungesagt. Die Luft ist voll mit alten Fragen, Die keiner mehr fragt. Wir müssen reden, doch da ist nichts mehr. Nur Echos von früher, Und zwei Herzen – so

This Is Calm

She sits alone where the water flows, Searching for peace where the forest grows. The rocks don’t speak, the breeze just sighs, The morning waits in softened light. Leaves don't rush, they fall like grace, Time drips slow in this sacred place. No need to move, no need to try, She's learning how to just be alive. This is calm. Not the absence of sound, But the presence of peace, Where the quiet is loud, And the soul finds release. The world fades back, the heart leans in, She lets go of where

Close your eyes and drift away, Night has come, no need to stay. You are safe, you are loved, Watched by stars from high above. The moon will sing you softly home, Through dreamland skies you’re free to roam. Hush now, darling, sleep so tight… The world is yours - but not tonight. Let your thoughts go sail the skies… Wrapped in dreams and lullabies. Mama’s here, the stars will stay… To guide you gently all the way. Close your eyes and drift away, Feel the night begin to sway. You are loved, my

An Unexpected Meeting In Palombia

2025/03/25

A reminiscence of the Spirou comics. The sun was melting through the haze, on Palombia’s crowded square, And there she stood, like a ghost from the war, with glitter in her shiny hair. Ten years of silence, secrets, scars, torn pages and worn-out shoes, She smiled like nothin’ ever broke, but I still wore the bruise. Should I or should I not? She burned me down, but I forgot. That fire in her eyes still pulls me in, To where I've been, who I’ve been. Should I or should I not… She played both

Carrying Her Light

We walked that road with no name, Dust in the wind, hearts full of blame. She never cried, she never spoke, Even though her wings got broke. Barefoot grace and bandaged eyes, An angel lost beneath gray skies. We held her weight like holy fire, Not out of fear, but something higher. They stare and say we’ve gone insane, But love don’t need a perfect frame. Sometimes the ones who fall the most Are the ones the world should hold the close. We carry the light, even when it’s fading, We carry the

Losing Control

Woke up, the lights won’t dim,It's smart home’s mutiny again. Toaster’s burnin’, fridge won’t close, The coffee app just froze my phone. Thermostat’s speaking German now, Says temp is fine - I’m sweatin’ out loud. My watch says “breathe,” my phone says “sing,” I’m not in charge, the data is king. I’m losing control! Every screen, every beep takes a piece of my soul. I just want to breathe, not play a damn role! I’m losing control, I’m losing control! Cars drive me, phones think for me, Fridge
