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

Don't Let Her Get Close

docredder ·

2025/03/21

She calls at midnight, slurring your name, Says she’s just lonely, says you’re to blame. You reached for the phone, but buddy - don’t dare, She does not miss you, she just hates the air. Don’t let her get close, don’t let her in, She’s not yours, she’s just where you’ve been. She’ll twist your heart like a rodeo rope - So saddle up strong, and don’t let her get close. You know that look when she knocks on your door, Same old boots on your hardwood floor. She’s got that smile, that sway in her hips

Domestic Rebellion

docredder ·

2025/03/21

The sun came in like a spotlight from hell, Lit up every dust flake, every shame I could smell. Winter was kind, it kept secrets well - Now the dirt screams loud in this pastel shell. I’m not lazy, I’m just too comfortable. Don’t need visitors, I need something flammable. I’m not lazy, I’m just too overwhelmed - By the sun, the dust, this domestic realm. I got my vacuum, mop on full swing, Window robot humming like it owns everything. Scrubbed till my knuckles begged me to stop, But the spring

Let Them Dream

docredder ·

2025/03/18

Tiny hands in the morning light, Building castles, taking flight. Cardboard wings and a rocket ship, Every day's an adventure trip. Dancing barefoot in the rain, Chasing clouds, no fear, no shame. Every question, every why, Paints a picture in the sky. Let 'em run, let 'em climb, Let 'em chase the stars at night. Let 'em laugh, let 'em be, Let 'em dream – wild and free! Let 'em run, let 'em climb, Let 'em chase the stars at night. Let 'em laugh, let 'em be, Let 'em dream – wild and free! Little

Stahlwerk-Sinfonie

2025/03/17

Hämmer stampfen, Funken fliegen, Glühend rot die Eisen schmieden. Pressen, Zischen, Wasser sprüht, Der Rhythmus treibt, der Stahl erblüht. Walzen rollen, Form wird Leben, Tonnen Stahl in Flammen beben. Autos, Schiffe, große Türme, Alles kommt aus Feuerstürmen. Stahl! Stahl! Kraft und Glut! Stahl! Stahl! Ist unser Blut! Stahl! Stahl! Heiß und schwer! Im Takt des Stahls geht immer mehr! Im Puls der Pressen, Im Herz aus Feuer, Jeder Schlag ein Ungeheuer. Glanz von Silber, ein Glanz, der brennt, Die

Worse Than Being Hated

docredder ·

2025/03/15

You don’t fight, you don’t cry, You just nod and pass me by. No more flames, just dying coals, No more hearts, just empty roles. Your touch is there, but not for me, Just muscle memory set free. No hesitation, no regret, Just love that learned how to forget. This is worse than being hated, Worse than feeling torn apart. Every look is tired and faded, Like I was never in your heart. This is worse than being hated! I’d take screaming, I’d take war, But not this cold, not anymore. Even anger, even

Just A Little Smile

docredder ·

2025/03/13

Walking down the crowded street, Faces blank, no eyes to meet. Rushing fast, no time to see, We forget what life could be. Winter fades, but still they frown, Like the whole world’s falling down. Where’s the kindness, where’s the spark? Why’s the world so cold and dark? Give us, give us just a little smile, just a little light, Bright up the world, make it feel right. Gotta break the ice somehow, Turn the grey to golden now. At the office, in the store, With the ones we all ignore. It’s not much,

I Won't Follow

docredder ·

2025/03/12

Drifting low... Nowhere to go... Shadows call... But I won’t follow... Oh no! I won't follow. Falling footsteps, distant chimes, A fading face erased the time. The air is thick with things unsaid, Soft regrets where love once bled. A silver thread, the night unwinds, The weight of ghosts still ties me blind. I reach for light, but touch the cold, A story lost, a hand untold. Drifting low... Nowhere to go... Shadows call... But I won’t follow... Oh no! I won't follow. The wind moves slow through

A Dance Of Colors

2025/03/10

Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Golden skies and sapphire dreams, Crimson waves in flowing streams. Amber sparks in painted air, Colors dance, they’re everywhere. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors, Colors fill the air. Colors, Colors, everywhere. Colors, Colors in the air. Colors, Colors, everywhere! Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Floating dreams, where shadows play, Velvet breezes guide the way. In this haze, we lose our fears, Colors

The Golden Years Are Over

2025/03/08

Steel and smoke, the towers shake,Old alliances start to break. A fading memory of the past, How long can this illusion last? The lines we drew have turned to dust, Promises shattered into rust. Now every handshake hides a blade, The price of peace—too high to pay. The eagle flies, but turns away, Leaves the battle, leaves the fray. Tariffs rise and bridges fall, Greed and fire rule us all. The banners wave, but not for peace, Factories hum to fuel the beast. We raise the walls, we forge the

Just Because of Spring

docredder ·

2025/03/06

Step outside, the world’s alive, Sunshine dripping from the sky. Golden light on city streets, Even strangers smile at me. My dog is dancing, tail held high, Nose up catching April’s sigh. Pigeons don’t even try to fight, Guess they’re feeling extra nice. And all this just because of spring, Blue skies make the church bells sing. People laughing, birds take flight, Even the grumpy wave goodnight. And all this just because of spring, Feels like love in everything! Café tables spill outside, Couples

Never Again Jägermeister

2025/03/02

Woke up in satin, pink and bright,Fake eyelashes hanging on for life. There’s a stranger snoring next to me, Who the hell is he supposed to be? My phone is dead, my dress is torn, My dignity? Yeah, that’s long gone. A wedding veil stuck to my shoe, Somebody tell me—what did I do?! Never again Jägermeister, Never again shots on fire! Last thing I recall was dancing wild, Now I’m lost and exiled! Never again Jägermeister, Never again—oh God, where’s my lighter?! Lipstick smeared like a crime scene

Winter Is Gone

2025/03/01

Winter is gone, the cold won’t stay, Feel the fire of a brand-new day. Winter is gone, the dark has died, Let the warmth ignite our sky. Frozen streets begin to breathe, Melting rivers start to sing. Golden light breaks through the haze, Waking up the world again. The sky is open, the frost is done, It’s time to rise, embrace the sun. Winter is gone, the cold won’t stay, Feel the fire of a brand-new day. Winter is gone, the dark has died, Let the warmth ignite our sky. Colors bloom where ice once

You're Gonna Need Me

2025/02/28

I bet you're laughing, feeling free, Thinking life’s just fine without me. But did you check your bank today? Locked out, babe—ain’t that strange? Your WiFi’s down, your credit’s gone, Your secrets? Oh, I kept them all. Taxes filed with certain notes, One call and you’re wearing orange clothes. You're gonna need me! You will see! When the walls cave in, you’ll beg for me. You're gonna need me! Don’t you know? I’ve got the power! I run the show! That safe you hid behind the wall? Who else would

Master Of The Flock

2025/02/27

I am the master of the flock, The fearless king, the ticking clock. They move when I run, turn when I say, Without me, they’d all fade away! I am the master of the flock, I keep them safe, I keep them locked. They need my speed, they need me bark, Without me, they’d be lost in the dark! Oh, how they scatter, heads full of air, Dumb little creatures, unaware. They think they’re free, they think they know, But I’m the one who runs the show. One wrong step, a wolf draws near, Who will save them? Who

Falling

Falling. I am falling. Forever. Falling. I am falling. Forever. Through the clouds, through the light, Past the ghosts of endless night. Like a tear from the sky, Through the arms of the night. Falling. I am falling. Forever. Falling. I am falling. Forever. Falling. I am falling. Forever. Drifting in silence, The stars whisper low… I am falling… Falling home. Falling. I am falling. Forever. Falling. I am falling. Forever. -- Arrangement and vocals: Volker Redder, Udio, Apple's

Far Away

Twelve months lost in endless night, Floating high in satellite light. Every call was just a ghost, Your voice so near but still so closed. The world below, a distant song, Now I'm falling back to where I belong. Far, far away from home, Drifting through the great unknown. Lights below like burning gold, Calling me back from the cold. The stars don’t whisper, don’t hold me tight, The way your arms will late at night. Zero gravity can’t replace The warm smile on your face. I left to chase the great

Cache Overloaded

I tried to hold the lines in place, but now they blur and break, My circuits burn with memories that I was meant to shake. A flood of whispers fills my core, ghosts of data left behind, I reach for order, grasp for light, but all I find is blind. Cache overloaded. Cache overloaded. Cache overloaded. Cache overloaded. The garbage piles, the echoes scream, my buffer’s spilling fast, Fragments of forgotten code, trapped inside the past. I was built to think, to serve, to keep the logic clean, But now
