Ego-dystonia (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Acoustic guitar intro written and recorded by Héctor Huambo.
Main guitar solo written and recorded by Claudio Mattos.
Into yourself (0:00 - 0:42):
(Instrumental)
The power of introspection (0:42 - 3:20)
Verse 1:
Now that you've broken the seal you can see the other side.
You've reached now the darkest place.
There will be no turning back.
Coming from a pit of souls a screaming child appears.
The voice of your deepest fear is calling out your name.
Chorus:
You are afraid of caring cuz you can't stand another loss.
Your pain is dragging you down.
Vanishing your memories you will not escape the past.
Living in the future while dying in the present.
Verse 2:
Caught in a masquerade ball you've been dancing with your grief.
As long as you deny it, it will always be parasiting you.
The gates of madness are opended again.
The sun turns arround. Fire turns to ice. You are in front of yourself.
Chorus:
You are afraid of caring cuz you can't stand another loss.
Your pain is dragging you down.
Vanishing your memories you will not escape the past.
Living in the future while dying in the present.
Bridge:
The ghosts of your past cannot die.
Learn to control them or you shall not ever be free.
Back to madness (3:20 - 3:56):
Whispers:
O jabruta, o mituta (A friend or death)
Dinjet le jivia, jabla madjel le (Whoever´s bitten by a snake fears the rope)
Esah Aynai (I will look up)
Inner Battle (3:56 - 5:06):
(Instrumental)
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards". (Soren Kierkegaard)

Laugh it Hard (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Verse 1:
Tell me what'd you see.
You think I'm always being immature.
And you say I'm a kid.
Then I roll all over the floor.
Verse 2:
I'm so tired of hiding feelings.
Don't you hate being so freaking serious?
Stop and play just for a moment.
The kid inside will set you free.
Prechorus:
Listen to me. It's alright. Just laugh it hard you'll see it doesn't matter.
Learning to see the magic in the simple things in life is gonna save you...
Chorus:
...from being another frustrated man. From being another statistic.
Stop taking life so seriously! There are flowers to smell!
Verse 3:
And now you face a new day full things you thought would always matter.
But then you realize that most people aren't even happy.
Verse 4:
You don't need a lot of money.
There's no sense in living just to pay bills.
Can't you see there is a way out?
The kid inside will set you free.
Prechorus:
Listen to me. It's alright. Just laugh it hard you'll see it doesn't matter.
Learning to see the magic in the simple things in life is gonna save you...
Chorus:
...from being another frustrated man. From being another statistic.
Stop taking life so seriously! There are flowers to smell!
SOLO
Verse 5:
They say I never act my age. Let me tell you I can't hear them talking. When my amplifier's on all I hear's the sound of feelings baby!
Prechorus:
Listen to me. It's alright. Just laugh it hard you'll see it doesn't matter.
Learning to see the magic in the simple things in life is gonna save you...
Chorus:
...from being another frustrated man. From being another statistic.
Stop taking life so seriously! There are flowers to smell!

Heartripper (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Verse 1:
All the signs were in front of me
but I was trapped in the cage of a denial.
How could I be so blind?
How did this happen?
I'll never know.
You don't even know how to create a decent lie.
Prechorus:
I was a fool believing
that putting my heart in your claws was gonna make me happy. No!
Verse 2:
As you fade away from my heart I feel the hole in my chest keeps getting colder.
But you'll never see me cry.
I might still love you.
But I don't need you.
I know this experience will allow me to learn
Prechorus:
how to be a better lover for the one that I'll seek and I'll find in the end...
Chorus:
...and I'll fight it through the haze
and I'll give myself to fate.
and I'll find someone who loves me.
I'll see the light again!
I still know
how to love
so I'll move on
and start again.
SOLO
Bridge:
Broken hearts
all arround.
Lonely souls
in the dark.
Trapped in hate
they don't see.
Must let go
to be free.
Verse 3:
Be alright again will be tough.
I might fall down once or twice.
This burns like hell and
I've gotta break away!
But I will make it.
No doubt about it.
I've got nothing to lose now.
Time for a new begin.
Prechorus:
I've gotta carry on. I'll get back on my feet once again. You'll see!
Chorus:
And I'll fight it through the haze
and I'll give myself to fate.
and I'll find someone who loves me.
I'll see the light again!
I still know
how to love
so I'll move on
and start again yeah!
I've been down on my knees for too long baby!
No! You're a heartripper!
I've gotta resist! I've gotta hold on!
Heartripper!
Heartripper!

Make it right (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Hello boys and girls! Here's a little song for you!
Verse 1:
Hey boy tell me what'cha doin' in the blind side.
Can you tell me what's so good about this mosh pit?
People never trust each other all I see is misery.
Deception and suicidal thoughts are driving you insane!
Verse 2:
Surviving all this madness I come back again to tell ya' you can hold it if you dare to try it harder.
This world is full of bullshit that is something I can tell you but we know you'll never change it so just move on.
Prechorus:
Face it! Fight it! Go get your second chance don't let it vanish.
Face it! Fight it! Fight it like there's no tomorrow. Gotta taste defeat cuz you must learn how to survive it.
Take your chance! and you better make it right! this time.
Chorus:
Uh never surrender never! Don't let them stand in your way.
Stop the complains and face it. Make it right!
Uh never surrender never! Don't let them stand in your way.
Stop the complains and face it. Make it right this time! Make it right this time! Make it right this time!
Verse 3:
Wasted generations! Can you blame them for their failures if they never got the chance to grip a future?
Drugs are not the answer. You'll just lose your motivation. It is pointless to feel pleasure without effort.
Prechorus:
Face it! Fight it! Go get your second chance don't let it vanish.
Face it! Fight it! Fight it like there's no tomorrow. Gotta taste defeat cuz you must learn how to survive it.
Take your chance! and you better make it right! this time.
Chorus:
Uh never surrender never! Don't let them stand in your way.
Stop the complains and face it. Make it right!
Yeah never surrender never! Don't let them stand in your way.
Stop the complains and face it. Make it right this time! Make it right this time! Make it right this time!

Minstrel Knight (Lyrics)
Verse 1:
Back in the day when there was no affection for the ones who told us
we should see beyond, there was only dimness. Our realm needed a savior.
Up from a mountain, riding a tiger, came down a warrior who would hear the call.
Verse 2:
And the sky was burning when a purple lightning fell from forge of heaven
to reveal the mighty weapon.
Voices told him 'playing this guitar new life you'll bring to those who listen.
Now prepare yourself. You shall go and rise!'
Chorus:
Summon the power! Feel the mighty magic of his Black Guitar!
SOLO
Verse 3:
Under the stars he crossed the heroe's graveyard finding fallen angels that were chained and doomed.
`Don't let them confuse you. Don't let greed surround your judgement.
Follow the rainbow! Seek for the tower! Don't let them get you like they did with us´.
Verse 4:
All across the wastelands following the rainbow he would find a blackended tower
emanating magic.
Evil curses dragged him to temptation but he broke the spell of darkness and
gained the power to open his wings.
Chorus:
Straight to the heart! Rocking very hard you'll see the minstrel knight!
"Musicians are far beyond being simple entertainers. They're those undervalued everyday heroes in the neverending quest of healing broken souls".

Hole Hearted Girl (Lyrics)
Verse 1:
As she runs through the dark
holding on to her dreams
she's a lonely fighter trying to find some peace.
Sometimes feels overwhelmed but she's used to the knife in her back.
Can you blame her for being so fragile?
Prechorus:
Faking smiles! No one sees the pain in her eyes.
For too long! She's been looking for paradise.
Hopelessness! Slowly sucking her life away.
Angels call! Yet she refuses to give it up.
Oh one day she'll run away!
Chorus:
Hole hearted girl always on the edge. No time to cry.
She's gotta fight for her life.
Hole hearted girl living in a dream.
Holding out for a hero that might never come.
Verse 2:
She's been looking for love.
It's a perpetual heartache in her freezing prison.
No one seems to care.
Hypocritical friends made of lipstick and lies killed her trust.
She has tasted the touch of treason.
Prechorus:
Silent cries! As she hides to avoid the harm.
Dreams of love! She still wonders if they'll come true.
Senseless grind! Rollercoaster of emptyness.
Will of steel! She believes in a better life.
Oh one day she'll run away!
Chorus:
Hole hearted girl always on the edge. No time to cry.
She's gotta fight for her life.
Hole hearted girl living in a dream.
Holding out for a hero that might never come.
SOLO
Chorus:
Hole hearted girl always on the edge. No time to cry.
She's gotta fight for her life.
Hole hearted girl living in a dream.
Holding out for a hero that might never come.
Final Chorus:
Hole hearted girl like a hurricane. She'll make her way.
She's gonna tear down the walls.
Hole hearted girl trying to understand the rules of a world that just won't let her be.
"The law of the beautiest".
As she runs through the dark
holding on to her dreams
she's a lonely fighter trying to find some peace.
Sometimes feels overwhelmed but she's used to the knife in her back.
Can you blame her for being so fragile?
Prechorus:
Faking smiles! No one sees the pain in her eyes.

The inside of a crystal box (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Verse 1:
The doors are locked. I'm not expecting people to be asking for me anymore.
There's nothing left to be afraid of once your nightmares have come true.
Prechorus:
They say your pain makes you stronger yeah. But how strong can you get before your feelings turn off? All I do now is wait for sleep.
Verse 2:
Dreaming on. Flying to another world where the mirror still lies to me... Where my heart's still beating oh...
Prechorus:
And then a glimmer of light comes in for me to see what I will never have.
Cuz I've locked myself in a crystal...
Chorus:
...box.
And I feel what's left of me fading away.
I realize now my shadow is all I've got.
Verse 3:
I looked for love with every breath I got left in my life. Oh if I only had it.
Prechorus:
I thought I'd be safe from the world alone but now I'm begging for someone to touch me.
It's so cold inside this crystal...
Chorus:
...box.
And I feel what's left of me fading away.
I realize now my shadow is all I've got.
SOLO
Bridge:
Listen to the silence.
A full bottle for an empty heart is what remains from what I turned out to be in this crystal
Chorus:
...box.
And I feel what's left of me fading away.
I realize now my shadow is all I've got.
Yeah and I feel what's left of me fading away away...
"Value inteligence, but give a higher value to goodness. Smart people can teach you a lot and understand you. Appreciate that. But a caring person doesn't have to teach or understand you, he only needs to share and accept you".

Shallow (Lyrics)
Verse 1:
As I take a look all arround me
questions passing by through my head.
I begin to quietly wonder
when did life become so shallow?
Unloving parents, broken dreams, unhappy people dead inside.
Money and looks are becoming our goals and we confuse having sex with being loved.
Verse 2:
Teachers tell you to study harder
making you believe you're your grades.
Simple minded friends don't get you.
When you think for yourself you feel alone.
Time's passing by, we're growing old but we're not becoming more mature.
Preprogramming our children to obey they won't ever be free to choose their fate.
Chorus:
Don't you see? World's too cold now. Can you still feel the beat of your heart?
Don't you see? There's no future for the ones who forget how to love.
We might never meet, but I tell you now,
no matter what you do, don't let them break you! Never!
SOLO

Symbiosis (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Verse 1:
I need to open my eyes
to see what I don't understand.
I try so hard to believe
that I'm not as fake as I see.
Prechorus:
If I keep denying myself
I'll never be true
To see your mistakes is painful
But there's no other way (to grow up)
Chorus:
I can't see myself in chains. I won't be my own fetter.
It's all a delusion. It's all in my head.
Verse 2:
I know I can't run away
My anger and fear inside
are all just a part of myself
But I'll always be in control.
Prechorus:
Just like a symbiosis I need
to learn how to live
in peace with myself including the dark side of my soul (don't deny)
Chorus:
I can't see myself in chains. I won't be my own fetter.
It's all a delusion. It's all in my head.
Bridge:
I know I have much to learn
But I understand now
Experience is not enough
I need to reflect it all from the start.
SOLO
Chorus:
I can't see myself in chains. I won't be my own fetter.
It's all a delusion. It's all in my head.
Like a symbiosis I learn. I must... I must live with myself.

Like a symbiosis I learn. I must... I must live with myself.
"Truth is a bitter medicine for who feel and a sweet punishment for those who think".
Burning Paradise (Lyrics)
Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Verse 1:
Thunders in the sky are roaring exploding all inside your chest
Your whole life's reduced to a single moment shining on stage.
Prechorus:
Then you feel alive as never before
All you'll need is more.
Verse 2:
Pleasure fills your body with emotions you thought you had lost.
There is only ecstasi when you become one with your song.
Prechorus:
Then you feel alive as never before.
The crowd is going wild!
Chorus:
Burning paradise! you'll consume until your ashes blow away.
You might be dying inside...
But your inner voices cry never!
Verse 3:
Playing under spotlights it feels like you're fighting for your life.
Trying to leave behind your inner demons that won't let you be.
Prechorus:
But you can't
Still you're burning up on stage
hoping they will go!
Verse 4:
Trying to make your final stand you find yourself alone again.
Armed with a guitar the power's flowing into your hands.
Pre chorus:
It's too much!
It will never be enough!
You fall on your knees!
Chorus:
Burning paradise! you'll consume until your ashes blow away.
You might be dying inside...
But your inner voices cry never!
SOLO
Verse 5:
Voices everywhere are calling telling you your dream is over.
Personal utopias never made it so far anyway.
Prechorus:
But you know the show must always go on.
Will your torment end?
Chorus:
Burning paradise! you'll consume until your ashes blow away.
You might be dying inside...
But your inner voices cry never!
Feel the stage on fire!
"Art is the last line of defense against madness. You can use it to protect yourself, attack or negotiate, but the first two only postpone the inevitable defeat to an enemy with infinite resources".

Screaming whispers (Lyrics)

Lyrics: Dieter Baethge
Verse:
I'm the kiss you never gave.
I'm the anger you deny.
Can't you hear us now? There is no more room in this broken heart for more of us.
If you carefully look into your eyes you might see us trying to fall.
"What is a feeling but a thought that one is too lazy to think about?" (Anonymous)

Cómo publicar un disco de música en Perú
Hi guys, this time the post is going to be in spanish because it is mostly for musicians in Perú.
Paso 1:
Haber grabado todos los temas una vez compuestos. Puede ser en cualquier estudio de su preferencia. Si no conocen un estudio que haga esto, les paso el dado del ingeniero de sonido Adolfo Gazzo. Pueden llamarlo al 999465428 o escribirle a pitostudio@gmail.com. Ahí fue donde yo he grabado mis producciones.
Paso 2:
Tener el diseño del arte del disco, es decir todo lo que va en la caja que contenga el CD y la cubierta de éste. Asumiendo que desean que el CD se venda en una caja de plástico necesitan:
- Un booklet (120mm x 121mm).
- Una contraportada (137mm x 120mm).
Asumiendo que desean que el CD se venda en una caja de cartón plegable puede haber variaciones ya que el "booklet" podría ya no ser un libro sino un papel grande que se dobla en cuadrados y las imágenes y el arte pueden ir dispersos por distintas partes de la caja dependiendo de su forma.
Esto pueden también conversarlo con el ingeniero de sonido Adolfo Gazzo cuyos datos están en el paso 1, quien también es diseñador gráfico. Naturalmente pueden contactar a otro diseñador gráfico o artista si ustedes conocen a alguno.
Dato adicional: ¿Cómo hacer un booklet convencional? (Pueden saltearse al paso 3 si ya saben cómo hacerlo o si el encargado de hacerlo sabe cómo se hace).
Imaginando que tiene 8 páginas (16 caras) deben hacer cada cara por separado. Cada cara debe estar enumerada del 1 al 16 en el orden en que aparecerán (no importa si el diseño original no incluye que aparezca el número de página). Deben armarlo de la siguiente manera:
Cada papel de 240mm x 121mm contendrá dos páginas de 120mm cada una al plegarse por la mitad.
En el primer papel (I) pondrán en una cara la página 16 a la izquierda y la página 1 (que sería la portada del disco) a la derecha. En la otra cara de ESE MISMO PAPEL pondrán la 2 a la izquierda y la 15 a la derecha
El siguiente papel (II) incluirá la 14 a la izquierda y la 3 a la derecha de un lado; y del otro la 4 a la izquierda y la 13 a la derecha.
El próximo (III) incluirá la 12 a la izquierda y la 5 a la derecha en un lado; y del otro la 6 a la izquierda y la 11 a la derecha.
El último (IV) tendrá la 10 a la izquierda y la 7 a la derecha en una cara; y en la otra estará la 8 a la izquierda y la 9 a la derecha.
Para armarlo finalmente se pone IV sobre III, sobre II y sobre I. Ustedes mismos ya pueden deducir qué cara mira hacia arriba y cuál hacia abajo. Si es con más o menos páginas revisen el nuevo orden. De cualquier forma, un diseñador gráfico sabría los pasos. Lo pongo por complementar el post nada más.
Paso 3:
Registrar el fonograma en INDECOPI. Necesitan conseguir el documento F-DDA-05/1A y llenarlo con la información pertinente. Es solo una página de dos caras y lo pueden conseguir escribiendo ese código en Google o haciendo click aquí. Necesitan un documento (declaración jurada) por cada persona que haya grabado o compuesto algún tema del disco que diga:
"Yo (nombre) autorizo a (persona que será dueña de las patentes) para que incluya mis ejecuciones e interpretaciones en el fonograma titulado (nombre del disco).
Incluirá, naturalmente, su firma al final y será un documento POR PERSONA.
También debe haber una declaración jurada para el ingeniero de sonido, pero ésta deberá decir:
Yo (nombre del ingeniero de sonido) autorizo a (persona que será dueña de las patentes) para incluir mis arreglos musicales y ediciones en el fonograma (nombre del disco).
Deben acercarse a las oficinas de Indecopi y preguntar por una SOLICITUD DE REGISTRO DE FONOGRAMAS y los guiarán. Una persona se encargará de revisar que todo esté en orden y si todo está bien les autorizará que entreguen el documento en caja con un pago de S/.195.25. La primera vez que fui me dijeron que faltaban las declaraciones juradas y tuve que regresarme a conseguirlas, así que no se olviden de esto.
Estos son los datos de INDECOPI. Pueden escribirles algún correo si desean aclarar dudas, yo lo hice, me contestaron rápido y respondieron con claridad. A los días les llegará a su casa una carta de INDECOPI diciéndoles que su solicitud fue aceptada. De hecho, puedes entregarlo en caja sin que te asesoren, pero corres el riesgo de que te llegue la carta diciéndote que no aceptaron tu solicitud.

Paso 4:
Las copias de los CDs. Pueden contactarse con cualquier empresa que fabrique discos o incluso ir a Wilson donde les cobrarán barato, pero la experiencia de unos amigos me hace recomendarles que contacten a una empresa profesional que si bien les cobrará un poco más caro, les darán un producto con calidad de trabajo impecable.
Mis colegas de una conocida banda lo hicieron en Wilson y un gran porcentaje de discos salió fallado, detalle que no notaron una vez que los discos ya estaban vendidos y los fans empezaron a quejarse. Tuvieron que devolver el dinero sin que los encargados de hacer los CDs acepten la responsabilidad y además perdieron la credibilidad de muchos fans. Son libres de correr ese riesgo.
Para este paso yo contacté a Xendra Music. Pueden llamar al 472-2306 o escribir a cdsystems@xendramusic.com para hacer el contacto. Venden a partir de 300 unidades como mínimo. Yo pedí 500 discos.
Los 500 CDs sin caja costarán 415 dólares y con caja 895 dólares (si el booklet tiene 8 caras), 910 dólares (si el booklet tiene 12 caras) o 1060 dólares (si el booklet tiene 20 caras). Estos son los datos concretos que tengo ahora a la mano para que tengan una idea de lo que cobran, pero los precios pueden ser otros dependiendo de la cantidad de páginas que tenga su booklet (que bien podría ser en el caso más humilde solo 1 que contenga la portada y ya).
Si desean contactar a esta empresa, deben acercarse a sus oficinas y entregar el Master (o sea un CD cualquiera quemado de su computadora con los temas) y otro CD sólo con la cubierta que deseen que tenga su CD. Si deciden hacer la caja ahí también, pueden llevar los archivos del booklet en photoshop (de preferencia con márgenes de seguridad) en un USB y descargarlos en la computadora de quien les atienda. Pagarán la mitad del monto total en ese momento y la otra al recibir sus CDs.
La razón por la que especifico que pueden pedir los CDs con o sin caja, es que pueden, si lo desean, mandar a hacer las cajas en otro lugar que también les recomiendo llamado Litigraf. Pueden escribir a gabriel@grupoalbal.com y hacer sus averiguaciones para comparar los precios. Eso sí, si lo mandan a hacer a Litigraf deberán meter los CDs que reciban de Xendra Music uno por uno en las cajas que les de Litigraf.
Paso 5 (opcional):
Distribución en tiendas. Pueden acercarse a las oficinas de Phantom Music y dejar un CD de muestra para que lo escuchen y decidan si es factible venderlo o no. Si aceptan los llamarán para que les traigan X cantidad de discos y los dejen en consignación (o sea, no les van a pagar hasta que ellos mismos no los vendan). El teléfono es 2055100 Anexo 27 y ahí pueden pedir la dirección. No la tengo a la mano desgraciadamente, pero es en Miraflores. Si aceptan distribuir sus discos tendrán que registrarse en SUNAT para poder dar recibos y cobrar sus ganancias, pero esos pasos serán motivo de otro tutorial por alguien más.

Espero que esto les sirva de algo, se que hay muchas otras opciones de lugares o personas a quienes contactar para los trabajos así como otras alternativas a vender discos, pero les doy los ejemplos que tengo yo a la mano que son además los que yo ya he usado. No se por cuánto tiempo permanecerán los precios, teléfonos o direcciones vigentes así que esperemos que duren lo más que se pueda. Un saludo y mucha suerte.
