  • It’s Always Me

    Parkinsong duet performed by The Base and Gerald Ganglbauer
    Words and music by Norbert Wally

    If you hit your head on the door it’s my fault
    Because I left it open for you to go thru it
    And if I had closed it you would have cursed me in a similar style

    You put me in charge of your moods and your minds
    Of the the things you forget, of the things you can’t find
    Of your smiles, of your fears, of your pains and another half sleepless night

    Why is it always me?
    Who knows where it’s going
    And where the wind’s blowing, it’s me

    Why is it always me?
    Who can make u feel better and make u feel worse
    Who’s in charge of the fate of your whole universe
    It is me

    Now why is it me around who your world’s turning?
    And why would I take care of all things concerning
    Your primary needs and your wishes u don’t wanna talk about?

    Now, I’ll be your hero and I’ll be your bag full of dirt
    You can kiss me and kick me and hurt me
    And lick me and call me things
    Stupid things you do not care about

    Why is it always me?
    Who knows where it’s going
    And where the wind’s blowing, it’s me

    Why is it always me?
    Who’s got  the control, who can save every soul
    It is me

    Why is it always me?
    Some say it’s a bliss but I see it as a curse
    I’m in charge of the fate of your whole universe
    It is me

  • A Message in a Bottle from Sting

    Hi Gerald

    Many thanks for your email.

    Sting 2018 (Wikipedia)

    As you will appreciate, many approaches are made to Sting, with similar requests as yours.

    However, although he and we feel a strong sentiment for such requests, it is impossible to satisfy everyone’s wishes. And so as not to have the unfortunate task of having to pick and choose which request to go with, we have decided to put them on hold for the foreseeable future.

    On Stings behalf we would like to wish you all the very best with your project.

    Kind regards

    Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE (born 2 October 1951), known as Sting, is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and actor. He was the principal songwriter, lead singer, and bassist for the new wave rock band The Police from 1977 to 1984, and launched a solo career in 1985.

    [verse]
    Ever in search for
    The meaning of live
    I’m giving and taking
    On the edge of fates knife
    I’m learning to taste the,
    The tears of joy and fear

    [bridge]
    I’m living hope
    A reckless smile
    A pool of wit
    Just the tools of a fool

    [chorus]
    Then I break all chains
    And don’t ask why
    I take my broken wings
    And learn how to fly
    I make a new start
    No, no mountain that’s too high

    I believe in what I do
    Working hard to make it true
    In my life, in this life

    [verse]
    Should I think it’s better
    To stay at the same four walls
    No, I am a free man
    In the mercy of my Lord

    [bridge]
    I’m living hope
    A reckless smile
    A pool of wit
    Just the tools of a fool

    [chorus]
    Then I break all chains
    And don’t ask why
    I take my broken wings
    And learn how to fly
    I make a new start
    No mountain that’s too high

    I believe in what I do
    Working hard to make it true
    In my life, in this life

    I break all chains

    solo

    I believe in what I do
    Working hard to make it true
    In my life, in this life

    [chorus]
    Then I break all chains
    Break all chains
    Break all chains
    Break all chains

    I Break all chains
    (Break all chains)
    I Break all chains
    (Break all chains)
    I Break all chains
    (Break all chains)
    Break all, break all chains

  • When I Look into Your Eyes

    Parkinsong duet performed by John Langford and Gisi Steinert
    Words and music by John Langford

    John Langford

    Ich schaue in deine Augen
    Ohne Schmerz oder Kummer
    Ich schaue in deine Augen
    Es ist nur Liebe, die ich sehe
    Dann schaue ich in deine Augen
    Ich sehe ein neues Morgen

    Like ships in the night
    Things get hidden away
    The darkness it hides
    Things we should see in the day
    We must realise
    Life’s a game we all play
    Open your eyes
    Just open your eyes

    Then I look into your eyes
    And see a new tomorrow
    I look into your eyes
    Without pain or sorrow
    I look into your eyes
    It’s just love I see
    Then I look into your eyes
    And I don’t fear nothing
    You make me realise
    All the good times coming
    I look into your eyes
    And you’re all that I need

    Wenn ich in deine Augen schaue,
    Fürchte ich nichts
    Du bringst mich dazu zu erkennen,
    Dass gute Zeiten kommen
    Dann schaue ich in deine Augen
    Du bist alles was ich brauche

    Like ships in the night
    Our lives they just flicker away
    We all take our sides
    It’s a game we all play
    Our fate will decide
    What we do everyday
    Just open your eyes
    Open your eyes

    Then I look into your eyes
    And see a new tomorrow
    I look into your eyes
    Without pain or sorrow
    I look into your eyes
    It’s just love I see
    Then I look into your eyes
    And I don’t fear nothing
    You make me realise
    All the good things coming
    I look into your eyes
    And you’re all that I need

  • Park You Too

    Parkinsong duet performed by Eros Bresolin and Julia Jockelson
    Words and music by Eros Bresolin

    Eros Bresolin and Julia Jockelson

    I’m sitting at a cross-road, waiting for you
    Waiting for you but I don’t really want to
    Wait here for you
    But you gave me no choice
    So I’m waiting for you

    So parkin me
    Parkin you
    Parkin everything that I ever do
    Yes, Park me
    And most definitely
    Park you too.

    Well we left the crossroad
    And we headed your way
    Down a one-way street
    But it was the wrong way
    I said “Please can we turn around
    Because I notice that we’re heading for
    Parky-Town?”

    So parkin me
    Parkin you
    Parkin everything that I ever do
    Yes, Park me
    And most definitely
    Park you too.

    The closer I got the more people I could see
    Heading down the same road as me
    Some of them tried to run
    But Parky said “You have to come and
    meet my son”

    So parkin me
    Parkin you
    Parkin everything that I ever do
    Yes, Park me
    And most definitely
    Park you too.

    Today I’m going to hand in my resignation
    I don’t want to be a member of your
    Parky-Nation
    Anymore, anymore
    So, park you too.

    So parkin me
    Parkin you
    Parkin everything that I ever do
    Yes, Park me
    And most definitely
    Park you too.
    Park you too.
    Park you too.

  • Soul for Parkinson’s

    Soul for Parkinson’s

    Ein Benefizabend zugunsten der Parkinson Selbsthilfe.

    16. Oktober 2015, Lässerhof (Stattegg, Steiermark)

    Leo Kysèla und Joerg Veselka gelang es nicht nur ihr Publikum zum Schwingen zu bringen, die beiden faszinierten einmal mehr ebenso durch ihre harmonischen Stimmen wie ihr virtuoses Gitarrenspiel.

    Jörg Veselka Video von Gerald Ganglbauer

    Joerg Veselka – vielleicht zu Beginn unterschätzt – bewies von Anfang an, dass er nicht der Zauberlehrling des großen Meisters, sondern Ergänzung wie Quadratur des Erfolges so manchen Liedes ist, das, wenn auch schon in der Soloversion Kysèlas bekannt, durch ihn eine neue, gediegene Steigerung erfuhr.

    Die Parkinson Selbsthilfe Parkinsonline, deren Präsident Gerald Ganglbauer dieses Konzert initiiert und organisiert hatte, machte mit einem Infostand auf die Krankheit aufmerksam und Leo Kysèla betonte seinen innigen Wunsch, Parkinson erkrankte Menschen zu unterstützen.

    Joerg und Leo als Duo: Together For You

    Neben aller Soulklänge kam aber auch die Geselligkeit nicht zu kurz im gemütlichen Ambiente des Lässerhofes, der die Räumlichkeiten der Selbsthilfe zur Verfügung stellte.

    Neben Bürgermeister Karl Zimmermann durfte Gerald Ganglbauer an diesem Abend auch die Grünen Gemeinderäte Helmuth Binder und Stefan Rothbart begrüßen, die mein Portrait Kysèlas mit dessen Originalsignatur ersteigerten.

    „Together for you“, von Leo Kysèla seinem Sohn gewidmet und Parkinsonline als Hymne zur Verfügung gestellt und zum Leitmotiv geworden, verklang in berührender Stille mit Kerzenschein im Publikum und bei „Back in the days“ schwang sich Gerald Ganglbauer spontan auf die Bühne und ergänzte das Duo stimmgewaltig.

    Von Leo Kysèla www.soul.at und Joerg Veselka www.joerg-veselka.com gibt es zahlreiche CDs, einen Rückblick der gelungenen Veranstaltung auf www.parkinsonline.info (M. Parkinson > Benefizkonzert).

    2015

    Vor zehn Jahren …

    Anno 2015 ist mein erstes Buch erschienen. Der Anlass waren 30 Jahre Gangan Verlag und meine Rückkehr aus Australien. Eine Montage aus Bildern und Texten aus meinem Leben sollte es werden und Doris Glaser gab ihm den Titel: „Ich bin eine Reise“.

    Hier ist ein Video vom Fest im Literaturhaus Graz.
