    Still

    LYRICS and MUSIC by Justin Thomas and AI

    Finalist – Parkinsong 2026

    The tremors start, and my hands begin to shake,
    A battle I didn’t choose, but it’s mine to face.
    The world moves faster, but I can’t keep up,
    I’m trying to hold on, but I’m losing touch.

    Every step I take feels like I’m sinking deep,
    A fight with my own body, can’t find relief.
    But I won’t surrender, I won’t give in,
    This fight is mine, and I’ll fight till the end.

    I want to be still. I want to be free.
    I don’t like this thing controlling me.
    Not ready for angels.
    To fly me high in the sky.
    Gotta keep on fighting.
    Till the day I die.
    I want to be still.

    The days grow longer, but I’m standing tall,
    Even when the darkness tries to make me fall.
    I might stumble, but I’ll rise again,
    The warrior inside me will never bend.

    The shakes may come, and the pain might stay,
    But I won’t let this disease take me away.
    In every moment, I’ll find my strength,
    I’ll fight for my life, no matter the length.

    I want to be still. I want to be free.
    I don’t like this thing controlling me.
    Not ready for angels.
    To fly me high in the sky.
    Gotta keep on fighting.
    Till the day I die.
    I want to be still.

    There’s no giving up, though it feels so hard,
    I’ll hold on to hope, no matter how scarred.
    Through every struggle, through every tear,
    I’ll keep on moving forward, with no fear.

    I want to be still. I want to be free.
    I don’t like this thing controlling me.
    Not ready for angels.
    To fly me high in the sky.
    Gotta keep on fighting.
    Till the day I die.
    I want to be still.

    Still…
    I want to be still.
    I’ll keep on fighting.
    I want to be still.

    Help raise money for Parkinson’s and get yourself some great music at the same time. It’s a WIN WIN.

    One of the tracks is mine. It is called „Park You Too“. I was approached by Gerald Ganglbauer to see if I would like to include „Park You Too“ in this album, but there was one condition.

    I had to convert the track to a DUET where one person has Parkinsons and the other doesn’t.

    Well I knew which one I was, so I needed to find someone that did not have Parkinson’s.

    Julia Jockelson came to the rescue and our new version of „Park You Too“ was added to the album called „Gerald Ganglbauer’s Parkinsong Duets“.

    If you would like to buy this CD [in the UK], please message me.

    Thanks for listening.

  • Die Presse

    Parkinson weltweit im Radio

    Projekt. Gerald Ganglbauer will mit Songs gegen die Krankheit kämpfen.

    logo_start

    Graz/Wien. Den Einfall, berichtet Gerald Ganglbauer, habe er auf dem Weltparkinsonkongress in Portland 2016 gehabt: „Dort kam mir die Idee, dass Rockstars mit uns Betroffenen gemeinsam Duette singen könnten, um der Welt zu demonstrieren, dass wir Kranken immer noch Menschen sind.“

    Ganglbauer, Autor, Herausgeber von Literaturzeitschriften und ehemaliger Teilzeit-Australier, entwickelte eine „coole Website“, um sein Projekt vorzustellen, „und erwartete, dass sich sofort Tausende beteiligen würden, wie damals im Jahr 1984, als Bob Geldof Band Aid auf die Beine stellte.“ Ganz so leicht ging es dann nicht: Zwei Jahre dauerte es, bis Ganglbauer, selbst Parkinson-Patient, seine Musiker zusammen hatte. Die Künstler, die sich für ihn gemeinsam mit Parkinson-Betroffenen ins Tonstudio begaben, kommen aus vielen Stilrichtungen, von Singer-Songwritern wie Jörg Veselka bis zu Rockbands wie Badhoven oder den Grazer Formationen Spring and the Land und The Base. Ihnen gemeinsam sei „ihre Leidenschaft für Musik und Anteilnahme an unserem Schicksal“.

    Am morgigen Welt-Parkinson-Tag sollen nun die entstandenen „Parkinsonduets“ im Radio gespielt werden. Ganglbauers Ziel ist, dass sich weltweit Betroffene bei ihren (vorinformierten) Radiostationen einen Song aus dem online erhältlichen Album wünschen. Damit „klatschen wir gleich drei Fliegen mit einem Streich“: Das Album werde gekauft, durch das Airplay die Botschaft verbreitet, die anfallenden Tantiemen gehen an den Verein Parkisonline.

    Selbst erhielt der Grazer die Diagnose Parkinson übrigens 2006, da war er 48 Jahre alt. „Ich dachte erst, dass sich nur das Alter bemerkbar machte, als meinen Freunden erste Symptome auffielen. Wie die meisten, denen man sagt sie hätten frühen Parkinson, verweigerte ich anfangs die Diagnose.“ Mittlerweile ist er Botschafter für Parkinson-Selbsthilfegruppen. (tes)

    Grow every stem cell
    Search every gene
    Sequence every Exome
    Till you find the key

    Misfolded proteins
    Clumping in my brain
    Please disaggregate my
    Alpha synuclein

    Drill a hole in my brain
    See how deep you can go
    Then insert some old tube
    Filled with a placebo

    I’ve got dysfunctional
    Mitochondria
    Lack of Dopa in my
    Basal ganglia

    There’s a breakthrough out there,
    But there’s one thing I wish
    That you give it to us,
    Not to rats or to fish

    Grow every stem cell
    Search every gene
    Sequence every Exome
    Till you cure Pd

    Norbert Wally from The Base and I connected immediately six years ago at a Postgarage Graz concert on January, 19, 2013. It was a late discovery – the Indie band was founded back in 1989, the same year I had left for Australia and lost touch with Graz. So I reviewed their tenth album „Secret Second Thoughts“, and some more new releases since. Singing alongside such a great voice was an honor and a challenge, but fun in the end. I dig this song, because I can fully subscribe to the lyrics, and the tune doesn’t get out of your head. Gerald Ganglbauer

  • Johnny Schwarzinger feat. Uli Sajko

    Johnny Schwarzinger is the bass player and lead singer of Austrian band Catwalk. On Parkinsong Duets he performs a duet with Uli Sajko, who also reads one of her poems in German language.

  • Spring and the Land feat. Gerald Ganglbauer

    Filmed on a trip to Vienna across the Semmering some weeks ago in January 2019. I was driving at constant speed, thanks to cruise control. The tunnels had some hypnotic or psychedelic affect on me and suit this song perfectly. Spring and the Land agreed and approved the clip. Gerald Ganglbauer
