The day after!


There is a lot of talk on CNN and other international News broadcasts about the future of Iran after the regime falls. My suggestion is: Why not put people in power who have absolutely nothing to do with “politics”, “business” and "religion"Why not give exceptional artists the chance to bring peace and unite humanity, like they have with music for decades?

I would vote for Ed Sheeran as the KING of PERSIA. Why? Because of his recent song release, AZIZAM.

And I vote for LaToya Jackson as Prime Minister. Why? Because of the song TEHRAN, which was released back in 2016 with the Persian artist Andy!

Both artists have shown their love for our country. Both have even sung in Farsi. The best requirements for a peaceful position in power! I say go for it! Let's unite humanity with the power of music and the magic of lyrics!

Hungry babies!


I will never understand why and how spoiled rich kids with all the opportunities and possibilities in the world turn into mighty hungry "babies"! 

It breaks our hearts seeing our home country, our beloved birth city, Tehran, burning in flames! So-called "world leaders" behave like crying babies for attention. 

They are toying with human life and destroying our hometown for selfish reasons! They want to leave a legacy! Great job! Congratulations! What kind of legacy is the question? Legacy of inhumanity? Legacy of genocide? Legacy of another bloody, senseless war? How many more? 

My relatives and friends had to leave everything behind from one day to another. Innocent people are dying for no reason. Families are falling apart for no reason. Everyone is worried about the uncertain future!

Destroying every district of every city in Iran is criminal and has nothing to do with stabilising the world. It is only causing chaos and casualties. As if the Russian/Ukrainian and Israel/Gaza war was not enough, now a third war is overshadowing the entire world with awful consequences for every single country around the world. It will have the same effect as COVID did. People thought it was miles away in China, and look what happened! 

The inhumanity will have awful consequences, and it will spread like a pandemic! Mark my words! Please pray for peace! Please pray for humanity! Please pray for the innocent people in Iran and Israel. What we are witnessing is history, and it is beyond disgusting and shameful. We are worried, devastated, help- and hopeless!

Collaborating with Music libraries & Sync placements!


When I started my journey as an indie lyricist in 2022 to mainly promote my online petition #HumanityB4Nationality for better rights for refugees with my track “80 Million People”, I had never heard anything about sync licensing. 

Last year after the awful treatment with my former music distributor Amuse.io (the most corrupt distribution company of all) with their false accusations and disrespectful treatment regarding my tracks ending up on AI playlists (obviously without my knowledge), I knew that I couldn’t trust distribution companies who treat artists like shit! And I have decided to remove my music completely from streaming stores such as Spotify & Co and make them ONLY available on LilyAmis.Bandcamp.com

It didn’t take long to realize that if you want your music to be heard without allowing streaming platforms to “use your work” for free, the ONLY profitable way where you also get exposure is Sync placements in TV and Film productions. 

It took me months of research, reading blogs and articles, watching YouTube Videos, etc., and I soon realized that the Sync journey wouldn’t be an easy adventure. Why? Mainly because many successful artists take advantage of the cluelessness of indie artists by offering their service as Sync mentors and asking for a fortune, which, as we all know, indie artists simply don’t have. I have seen prices starting from 1000 up to 2000 dollars! Or monthly subscriptions starting from 50 dollars, and one-on-one Zoom calls, where you also have to pay an hourly rate starting from 100 dollars!

I’m glad that I didn’t use any of these expensive services. I manifested my desperate need for a mentor and came across the “Sync Academy Group” a few weeks ago. In this group, you not only learn how to produce and design your tracks for TV & Film placements, but also how and where to pitch your work the professional way! 

From what I have learned so far, as Jesse, the founder and mentor of the Sync Academy, keeps saying, the Sync industry is not rocket science. There are rules that you need/should/must follow, and when you do it the right way, there are realistic chances for everyone to get placements regardless of music genre. 

For me, it is like having a baking recipe. If you change the recipe as you wish and don’t follow the instructions step by step, you destroy the cake! Simple as that! 

Follow the instructions, use the ingredients mentioned, and you end up having a tasty and delicious cake that not only you enjoy, but also other people who eat a little slice. In other words, make good music, and Music Supervisors will enjoy your cake as well. Easy as that! 

Having said that, I'm still learning a lot about production and marketing, and I highly recommend the Sync Academy if you are seriously interested in improving your skills and being as professional as possible and want to succeed with your music!

#Lily4Refugees #wallraff Watch this German undercover documentary!

We watched the documentary on German Television RTL and couldn't stop our tears. The lack of humanity and the power of corruption in 2025 are shameful and simply disgusting! 

We wish everyone could watch this eye-opening undercover documentary in English, but the pictures speak for themselves. Even if you don't speak and understand German, take a minute and watch this unbelievable, scandalous reality about the awful treatment with desperate refugees in Berlin, Germany! 

The German Government and Red Cross Germany are making a fortune with the misery of innocent refugees who have lost everything in life! We are speechless. We are upset and heartbroken. Back in 2022, I started my online petition #HumanityB4Nationality to raise awareness about the plight of refugees stuck in refugee camps in countries like France and Greece. 

2025, the misery continues and people in power such as Ursula von der Leyen do nothing! And I mean absolutely NOTHING to help the hopeless and helpless refugees! 




Description in English: 

In the new #wallraffen investigation, the reporting team led by Günter Wallraff uncovers how millions of euros in taxpayer money at the Berlin refugee shelter in Tegel are apparently not benefiting the refugees who live there under sometimes questionable conditions. In 2023 alone, over €298 million flowed into the facility. Where is the money really being used? The team is given access to figures in the previously redacted operating contract. This reveals, among other things, that organizations such as the German Red Cross (DRK) and Messe Berlin receive an additional administrative fee for personnel costs, for example.

Currently, around 3,000 people are said to be housed in Tegel: in open "honeycombs" with up to 14 people – without ceilings, proper doors, or privacy. Based on the approximately €1.2 million that the state pays per day for the Tegel refugee shelter, this would amount to €400 per capita per day. Christoph Wapler (Green Party): "It's the most expensive accommodation with the worst conditions."

An RTL reporter went undercover as a supervisor for the Workers' Samaritan Federation (ASB) in Tegel, and her impressions were sobering: Employees often have nothing to do, and patrols seem pointless. "For me, this is just occupational therapy. Imagine if we didn't have the checklists. What would we do then?" a shift supervisor tells her. The German Red Cross (DRK), which commissions non-profit organizations like the ASB to care for refugees, writes in its statement to RTL: "The deployment of staff is based exclusively on actual needs, professional standards, and the requirements of the state of Berlin."

Furthermore, it appears to the journalist that she and her colleagues are not even allowed to take on many caregiving tasks. For example, she is not allowed to allow children access to a room with art supplies, even though she has time to supervise them. The ASB told RTL: "The childcare center is open all day. [...] To ensure the protection of the children in care, supervision or monitoring is only possible by appropriately trained staff."

The "Team Wallraff" reporters show the figures in the contracts, unredacted, for the first time to Green Party politicians Jian Omar and Christoph Wapler, as well as Elif Eralp (The Left). Although they have a say in budget allocations and refugee accommodations, they don't know all the figures for the Tegel accommodation center. Jian Omar is appalled by the research results: "Hiring people without giving them anything to do is not only a waste of money, but also detrimental to the refugees themselves."


GERMAN: 

In der neuen #wallraffen-Recherche deckt das Reporterteam unter Leitung von Günter Wallraff auf, wie in der Berliner Flüchtlingsunterkunft Tegel Steuergelder in Millionenhöhe scheinbar nicht den Geflüchteten zugutekommen, die dort unter teils fragwürdigen Bedingungen leben. Allein 2023 flossen über 298 Millionen Euro in die Anlage. Wo werden die Gelder wirklich eingesetzt? Das Team erhält Einsicht in Zahlen im bislang dazu geschwärzten Betreibervertrag. Daraus geht unter anderem hervor: Träger wie das Deutsche Rote Kreuz (DRK) und die Messe Berlin erhalten eine zusätzliche Verwaltungspauschale auf beispielsweise Personalkosten.

Aktuell sollen in Tegel rund 3000 Menschen untergebracht sein: in offenen „Waben“ mit bis zu 14 Personen - ohne Zimmerdecken, richtige Türen oder Privatsphäre. Ausgehend von rund 1,2 Millionen Euro, die das Land für die Flüchtlingsunterkunft Tegel am Tag zahlt, würde dies auf Pro-Kopf-Berechnung einen Betrag von 400 Euro am Tag ergeben. Christoph Wapler (Grüne): „Es ist die teuerste Unterkunft mit den schlechtesten Bedingungen.”

Eine RTL-Reporterin schleuste sich undercover als Betreuerin des Arbeiter Samariter Bunds (ASB) in Tegel ein, ihre Eindrücke fielen ernüchternd aus: Beschäftigte haben oft nichts zu tun, Kontrollgänge wirken sinnlos. „Das ist für mich einfach nur Beschäftigungstherapie. Stell dir mal vor, wir hätten die Checklisten nicht. Was würden wir dann tun?“, verrät ihr ein Schichtleiter. Das DRK, das gemeinnützige Organisationen wie den ASB für die Betreuung der Geflüchteten beauftragt, schreibt in seiner Stellungnahme an RTL: „Der Personaleinsatz richtet sich ausschließlich nach dem tatsächlichen Bedarf, fachlichen Standards sowie nach Vorgaben des Landes Berlin.”

Zudem hat es für die Journalistin den Anschein, als dürften sie und ihre Kollegen viele Betreuungsaufgaben gar nicht übernehmen. So ist es ihr beispielsweise nicht gestattet, Kindern Zugang zu einem Raum mit Malsachen zu gewähren, obwohl sie Zeit hätte, diese zu beaufsichtigen. Der ASB erklärt gegenüber RTL: „Die Kinderbetreuung ist ganztägig geöffnet. [...]. Um den Schutzauftrag gegenüber den betreuten Kindern zu gewährleisten, ist eine Begleitung oder Beaufsichtigung ausschließlich durch entsprechend geschultes Personal möglich.“

Die „Team Wallraff“-Reporter zeigen Zahlen in den Verträgen ungeschwärzt erstmals den Grünen-Politikern Jian Omar und Christoph Wapler sowie Elif Eralp (Die Linke). Obwohl sie über Haushaltsmittel und Flüchtlingsunterbringungen mitentscheiden, kennen auch sie nicht alle Zahlen zur Unterkunft Tegel. Jian Omar zeigt sich über die Rechercheergebnisse entsetzt: „Menschen einzustellen, ohne dass sie was zu tun haben, ist nicht nur Geldverschwendung, sondern auch nachteilhaft für die Geflüchteten selbst.“

Lilys Ambassadors & Botschafter second-edition now available!

Dear Book and dog lovers, the second edition of my books LILYS AMBASSADORS and LILYS BOTSCHAFTER are now available! 

In 2022, I published these two books for the first and last time with BOOK ON DEMAND. It was the second-biggest mistake in my publishing journey. I'm now back to AMAZON and happy to have full control over my book prices and marketing. 

If you are new to self-publishing, stay away from BOD. Once you publish your book in print and e-book with this company, you have no say in pricing etc. And if you wish to update the files, you have to publish the book from scratch. They expect you to pay for every new edition! This doesn't make sense! Whenever you, the copyrighter of your work, have no say, you know you are not in good hands! Demand the respect your work deserves, and don't allow corrupt companies to take advantage of your cluelessness. 

For me, after 10 years, AMAZON is still THE best company to work with. Not only because of the full control that I have as the writer, but also because of the great quality they offer in print. The paper and colour are perfect! I couldn't be happier! :-)

ENJOY THE READ IN YOUR PREFERRED LANGUAGE!

The Games of Life!

 


"The Games of Life" is a compilation of three tracks, including a BONUS track! 


YOYO & CHESS is a rap song about people who toy with people’s lives. For centuries, the universal key to ultimate happiness and success has been liberty. We are all part of a game, ruled by Godless rulers (evils) who make our lives a living hell. They stop us from improving and growing, and if we don't fight back and stand up for our beliefs and goals, we will never be able to live a life of liberty.


BOWLING is an anti-war rap song. A wake-up call for mighty hungry, fame, and fortune hunters. A reminder that money and power are not everything in life. It won’t last for eternity, but Karma does. It is also a song against the mainstream media, which way too often misuses its power, manipulates and brainwashes us with headline-lies and "fictional" breaking news stories without a bad conscience.


PING PONG & PUZZLE is an uplifting and liberating pop song about letting go of toxic people and a painful past. It's about accepting that those who left us behind were never meant to be in our lives. They didn't deserve our love and devotion. We all experience rejection and indifference in life, and no matter how many times we feel the pain, it is always hurtful. It takes time to understand and accept that some people are just not worth the pain and sorrow.

RIP Pope Francis!


Forcing an old, sick man to function despite his fragile condition, just for the sake of money and greed, is beyond disgusting. I hate the world we live in. It is revolting. I was worried this would happen, and it did!

I knew it! Seeing Pope Francis yesterday showed me how greedy the Vatican is. He needed rest. He needed to recover! BUT the church didn't care! Your greed for money is simply disgusting! I feel ashamed for your lack of humanity, kindness & care! I'm heartbroken! I hope the Vatican is happy! Did you make enough money over the holidays?

This poor, fragile and sick man needed rest, but you decided to torture him despite his weakness! You didn't respect his need for recovery! :-(

RIP Pope Francis :-( 




LEONARDO - Humans Just Dont Care!

Leonardo is a young and hopeless dog with a difficult life journey full of emotional and physical obstacles. After leaving an animal shelter he ends up in an orphanage in the heart of Florence. But the manager and the children treat him so badly that he runs away in the darkness of the night in hope of finding love and kindness. After a stressful journey filled with struggles, he ends up in the capital city of Italy, in Rome, and has only one goal. He wants to meet Pope Francis and ask him why he sees humans but not humanity. Why humans treat each other and him so badly and why they just don’t care!

My Voice for the Voiceless
During our many visits to major cities like Rome in Italy, we have experienced unfortunate people sleeping on the streets, while residents of the cities, national and international tourists walk by daily without taking notice and we’ve been wondering why. It is heartbreaking and shameful to look out of your fancy and warm hotel room with your comfy bed, while helpless humans struggling and surviving on the freezing cold streets just a few footsteps away and are only covered with newspapers. It is a tragedy of humanity how ignoring homeless people has become normality. It is a scandal how we look away and don’t act. Every single human being deserves a life of dignity. Every single soul deserves to be taken care of. Every single human being deserves to experience love and kindness, whether it is a child in an orphanage or homeless people and refugees on our streets. The story of Leonardo is my voice for the forgotten souls!

Who are Fallen Angels?


Fallen Angels are secret devils! 

After my song release “Secret Angels”, the 14th track on my album Legacy4Humanity, I was going to name the follow-up and last song on the album “Secret Devils”. But in my heart, I didn’t like the idea of promoting the word DEVIL on my song cover and in my social promotions. So I changed the title from Secret Devils to Fallen Angels.

Fallen Angels are people with criminal, evil and negative energy who toy with other people’s lives and destinies by misusing their power and position or by misleading others with dishonesty, corruption and criminal activities. 

Whether we like the idea or not, every one of us is surrounded by secret devils. They are here to teach us painful life lessons. We only grow through pain, disappointment and heartbreak. 

In today’s shallow, superficial, selfish, ignorant, dishonest, disloyal and thoughtless society, people have more possibilities to toy with other people. Before the Internet, we only had to deal with the evil people in our circle. Nowadays thanks to social media, we have to deal with plenty of fallen Angels, who we never get to meet in person face to face. Thanks to all the social platforms, people create identities and profiles within minutes and claim to be someone that they're not. 

Catfishing is a perfect and easy way for the secret devils to use other people's trust and cluelessness for their own benefit and profit!

This is one of the main reasons why I'm no longer on Facebook and have changed my Instagram settings to private. I’ve had enough of fake accounts and fake people who only wasted my time in the past. Once the trust is broken, you can't fix it! And trust is everything in life, but to secret devils TRUST is a holly word that destroys demons and devils like holly water! 

Be aware of the Fallen Angels around you and don't give them a chance to toy with you as they wish. Sooner or later, they are caught and can't hide their evil side any longer! Secret Devils are not only the mighty-hungry, fame and fortune hunters in politics, governments and celebrities, they are often the ones close to us, and it takes some time until we finally see their true evil character and nasty personality!

Open your eyes, open your mind and protect yourself from the Fallen Angels!

Fallen Angels - Fighting Fallen Angels!


Never before has one of my song lyrics inspired me to write an entire book series. To this date, my songs were inspired by my books. “The Stolen Years”, “The Three of Us” and “SIMA” are inspired by my memoir "The Stolen Years in Zurich”. “The Miracle of Music” is inspired by my book “Lennon, The Miracle of Music”.

But my second Bonus track on the album Legacy4Humanity (15 tracks), “Fallen Angels” has opened me to a magical and spiritual world. Recently I have been learning so much about healing stones, protection scents and amulets. It is such an exciting new world. I wish I had known about all these protection and self-care possibilities years ago. Knowledge is mighty.

The song title FALLEN ANGELS was actually supposed to be SECRET DEVILS. After my bonus track release SECRET ANGELS, I thought Secret Devils would match perfectly. But in my heart, I didn’t feel comfortable using the word devils on the cover and in my promotions. There are enough evils around us daily. So there is no need and desire to promote these dark souls at all! 

Anyway, I will be working on a new, exciting book series in the upcoming months while I’m taking necessary actions against the secret devils in my life. Self-protection and self-care are my priority!
