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 - Self-protection!




Inspired by evils in my life in the past and present and my recent awful experience with my corrupt music distributor I wrote the lyrics for FALLEN ANGELS to remind everyone that we all have enemies, secret devils around us who want to destroy us, but we have to raise our voice, stand up and fight for our right and respect. 

People in power like Rishi Sunak, UK's Prime Minister with his ridiculous Rwanda plans with innocent refugees are an example of how heartless people misuse their power and toy with people's destiny with absolutely no shame and moral values. Right now we are witnessing many horrible and bloody crimes worldwide created by mighty-hungry and godless creatures, and we are completely helpless. 

I call fraud and godless people, FALLEN ANGELS because they have a heart of stone and make awful and unlawful decisions and ruin people’s lives with their disgusting decisions and actions!

I have never been a big fan of Esotericism, the business of spirituality where people search for the meaning in life, because they don’t feel attracted to any religion and instead enter the esoteric world with fortune-tellers, spiritual healers, card reading, Astrology, Feng Shui, light healing and more!

And yet, I always say whatever makes you happy is fine. Whatever makes you a good, honest, loyal, and kind person is fine. Because there is nothing worse than people who believe in absolutely nothing! Atheists who don't believe in the existence of god or any gods have zero respect for anything or anyone, and you see it in their behaviour. Their lack of respect, kindness, empathy, humanity, caring, and compassion is shocking. To me, people with a heart of stone are FALLEN ANGELS or as I also call them SECRET DEVILS, and trust me I had plenty of those useless but soul-damaging creatures in my life! 


So, the question is, how do you protect yourself from the FALLEN ANGELS? From the SECRET DEVILS? First, when I feel negative energy and vibes such as jealousy, greed or simply lying and cheating, I distance myself slowly but surely without argument. I don’t waste my time with arguing with devils. The saying that the eyes are the mirror of the soul is true. Eyes often say more than words! The way someone looks at you says everything about their white or dark soul. 

And when you feel that certain people are not good for your peace of mind and soul, not only is distance and separation necessary but also a variety of protective stones, each with its own unique energy. Black tourmaline, obsidian, amber, and red jasper are some of the best protective stones against evil people. Amethyst, rose quartz, selenite, and fluorite, on the other hand, are ideal for warding off negative energies.

So whoever is causing you pain and sorrow, distance yourself and spoil your soul with the stones your heart and soul needs the most. Trust me, they help!

Fallen Angels - Song lyrics (German)


Fallen Angels ist inspiriert von der Respektlosigkeit der Machthaber, die mit dem Schicksal der Menschen spielen und Leben und Existenzen ohne Scham und Reue zerstören!

Während wir bei dieser Beschreibung an unfähige Politiker, gottlose Gesetzgeber und Regierungen denken, wurde der Songtext tatsächlich nach der schrecklichen, rechtswidrigen, unfreundlichen, abstoĂźenden und respektlosen Behandlung geschrieben, die ich kĂĽrzlich von meinem ehemaligen korrupten Vertriebspartner, der schwedischen Firma Amuse, und den Streaming-Plattformen erfahren habe. Billionenschwere Unternehme die eine moderne Form der Sklaverei mit korrupten Firmenrichtlinien und schändlicher Behandlung mit Indie-KĂĽnstlern weltweit erfunden haben und KI als Vorwand benutzen, um KĂĽnstler zu zerstören und ihre Liebe und Leidenschaft fĂĽr die Musik zu vernichten. 

Dieses Lied ist meinem ehemaligen schwedischen Musikvertrieb AMUSE gewidmet, dessen korrupte Firmenpolitik und schreckliche, unrechtmäßige und respektlose Behandlung mich für diesen Liedtext inpsiriert hat.

Ich habe den Songtext geschrieben, um anderen Indie-Künstlern, die dieselben oder ähnliche Erfahrungen machen, Mut zu machen, ihre Ziele nicht aufzugeben und stets den Respekt einzufordern, den sie verdienen!

Ich musste in meinem Leben gegen viele böse „Machthaber“ kämpfen, aber diese Behandlung ging mir wirklich unter die Haut. Warum? Weil Musik immer das einzig Positive und Heilsame in meinem Leben war. Nie im Leben hätte ich gedacht, dass böse und korrupte Menschen meine Leidenschaft zerstören und mir mit ihren bösen Taten meine Liebe und Freude an der Musik nehmen wĂĽrden! Ich distanziere mich von diesen Teufeln und lasse nicht zu, dass mir jemand meine LIEBE zur Musik nimmt!


Gefallene Engel, Lily Amis feat. Thir13een

Ăśberall sind gefallene Engel, die aus der Ferne Schaden anrichten

Ăśberall verbreiten sie schwarze Magie und Leid

Geheime Teufel, bleibt lieber fern

 

Kann meine dunkelsten Tage nicht vergessen, oh ja

War jahrzehntelang gebrochen und besiegt

Habe die Feinde in meiner Nähe nicht erkannt

Vom Mondlicht ĂĽberrumpelt

 

Ich werde mich nicht unter meinem Wert verkaufen

Kein Teufel wird mich davon abhalten, meine Ziele zu erreichen

Ich verlange den Respekt, den ich verdiene, stehe auf und breche den Zauberspruch

Schicke die geheimen Teufel zurück in die Hölle

 

Ich toleriere keine negative Energie und Schwingungen mehr

Musste in der Gegenwart und in der Vergangenheit

gegen zu viele gefallene Engel kämpfen

persönliche und berufliche Rückschläge überwinden

Jetzt ist es Zeit zu sagen: ScheiĂź auf dich, leb wohl, auf Wiedersehen

 

Vertraue den gefallenen Engeln nicht, ĂĽbernimm die Kontrolle

Ăśbernimm die Kontrolle, schĂĽtze deinen Geist und deine Seele

 

Ich werde mich nicht unter Wert verkaufen, ich werde nicht

Kein Teufel wird mich davon abhalten, ja, ja

meine Ziele zu erreichen, oh oh

Ich verlange den Respekt, den ich verdiene, den Respekt, den ich verdiene

Ich steh auf und breche den Zauberspruch, oh oh

Schick die geheimen Teufel zurück in die Hölle, ja, ja

 

Ich werde mich nicht unter Wert verkaufen, ich werde es nicht tun

Kein Teufel wird mich davon abhalten, meine Ziele zu erreichen, meine Ziele zu erreichen

Ich verlange den Respekt, den ich verdiene, ja, ja

Ich steh auf und breche den Zauberspruch, ja, ja

Schick die geheimen Teufel zurück in die Hölle

 

Gefallene Engel schüren meine Ängste

ABER Schutz ist mein WILLE

Ich lasse das Universum einfach mein Leben entfalten und meine Handlungen lenken

Setze meine Absicht des Selbstschutzes in Gang

Ich öffne meine Flügel, um Gottes Liebe und Licht zu empfangen

Er wird mich heilen, beschĂĽtzen und mir beim Ăśberleben helfen, ja, ja

 

Ich werde mich nicht unter Wert verkaufen, uhhh, uhhh

Kein Teufel wird mich davon abhalten, meine Ziele zu erreichen, uhhh, uhhh

Ich verlange den Respekt, den ich verdiene, jahhh

Ich steh auf und breche den Zauberspruch

Schick die geheimen Teufel zurück in die Hölle, ja

 

Ich schütze meine weiße Seele, wasche meine Ängste

Umgebe mich mit Kristallen, trockne meine Tränen

Ich übernehme die Kontrolle über mein Schicksal und bekämpfe die Feinde

Geheime Teufel, ich breche den Zauberspruch

Nimm dein One-Way-Ticket zurück in die Hölle

Secret Angels - You never know!


Do you believe in Angels?
Have you ever met an Angel?

While many people will answer my first question with a YES, many of you will probably answer the second question with a NO! 

When we talk about angels, people always assume angels with wings like the ones from fairytales and movies. BUT angels are everywhere around us. Yes, they are. Daily! We just have to recognize them and don't take anyone's kindness, help and support for granted!

Inspired by the kindness of nine secret angels in our little grocery shop around the corner, that we visit for 20 years, I have written the lyrics to remind everyone that we all have secret angels around us. 

The next time when you visit your grocery shop in your neighbourhood, be aware that every product that you see has ended up in your store after a loooong journey. 

We buy all kinds of products weekly for our needs, starting from bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, milk products, honey, chocolate, jam, coffee, Olive oil, flower and all kinds of beverage like orange juice and beauty products not realizing how many people (secret angels) make it possible for us to enjoy our favourite products daily. If it wasn't for the farmworkers far away, the hard-working and low paid factory workers in foreign countries, the truck drivers and finally our market staff stocking our shelves daily at least three times a day, we wouldn't be as happy and satisfied as we are. 

So we don't need to see angels with wings, because we are surrounded by secret angels with hidden wings. The mail man, the milk man, the bus drivers, the taxi driver and so on. All kinds of people working in public sectors near and far in different fields that we might never meet in person could be an angel. 

We saw how desperately we need these people during the pandemic, but sadly humans tend to forget and nag instead of being grateful for all the blessing we have in life. 

This song is a reminder to appreciate every single person who makes your life a little bit easier. Don't take anyone's service for granted because anyone might be a secret angel. 

Secret Angels is the bonus track on the album Legacy4Humanity, Lily Amis feat. Thir13een available at Bandcamp.com. The track will be released as a single only on LilyAmis.Bandcamp.com on the 13th of June 2024! 

Stay tuned...

HomeTown Search – A Day in St. Gallen!


This month we have been busy researching and discovering new places only an hour away by train from our city, Zurich. We are looking for a new home town after 30 decades!

We have been in St. Gallen only once, back in the winter of 2001. It wasn’t an easy time for us to survive life alone in Lucerne with all the obstacles and challenges. We couldn't enjoy our stay. It is all written in my memoir The Stolen Years in Zurich, so I’m not going to say more.

Now, it was time to visit this interesting town and seriously consider it as our new home, because of the great location. What we loved the most, is the abbey right in the heart of the town. It is huge and beautiful from inside and outside. Really magnificent architecture and definitely worth a visit.

However, after doing more research, we realized that the city doesn’t offer the benefits that we have in Zurich. So unfortunately, our search for a new hometown continues…

Like in Solothurn, you find all kinds of national and international brands and can book tourist activities at the Tourism office.

We give St.Gallen 4 stars out of 5!

HomeTown Search – A Day in Solothurn!


This month we have been busy researching and discovering new places only an hour away by train from our city, Zurich. We are looking for a new home town after 30 decades!

I can’t believe that we never visited this gorgeous little baroque town before. It really is like a fairytale and definitely worth a visit. The most impressive buildings are the two churches in the heart of the little downtown. The St. Ursen Cathedral and The Jesuit Church, thought to be one of the most beautiful baroque buildings in Switzerland. 

We can picture how gorgeous this place looks in winter with Christmas lighting and the smell of Christmas cookies, sweets, and hot chocolate in all the little coffee shops and restaurants. You also find all kinds of national brands despite the small size of the downtown.

We really enjoyed our day trip and could imagine living there if this town wasn’t on the top list of crime statistics in Switzerland. This is unfortunately a deal-breaker!

But if you visit Switzerland and love Baroque as much as we do, take the direct train from Zurich Main station and dive into a little fairytale for a day while enjoying ice cream in the summer next to the lake and hot chocolate in one of the many little coffee shops in winter!

We give Solothurn 5 stars out of 5 despite the criminal numbers!

Amuse.io - The damages are beyond disgusting!



Disgusting treatment! Corrupt company policy! Wasting artists time! 

SHAMEFUL! 
HANDS AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!


Artists as you know by now, my previous distributor AMUSE has caused me a lot of damage in the previous months by closing my artist account from one day to another without informing me WHY for weeks!

The more time goes by, the more I see the damages they have created by denying me access to my account and taking down my tracks. It is beyond upsetting. 

I don’t understand how people allow themselves to treat other people like shit and just go away with it! Such unkind, cruel, unprofessional, and unacceptable, disgusting treatment should have consequences! 

Not only was I accused of false allegations, but now I see that so much time and effort that I have put into my music promotion was thrown into the toilet! Disgusting!

One example is adding my song lyrics to my song releases through Musicmatch. Hours of work just gone because of the most corrupt distribution company on earth that I’ve trusted blindly for 2 years!

While my songs are released again (only in selected stores for now!), the lyrics are no longer available on social media like Instagram and in stores such as Spotify.

Well, I'm not gone invest more time in adding lyrics when they can be removed that easily! I’m glad that I have released my album Legacy4Humanity on Bandcamp.com. And I’m grateful to know the song, the cover, and the lyrics are all safe and sound in one place and can only be removed by me, the copyright holder!

Legacy4Humanity Album - BOWLING & other tracks!

Lily Amis ft. Thir13een – ‘BOWLING’ from the album ‘LEGACY4HUMANITY’

In a world often overshadowed by chaos and strife, where the whispers of humanity’s plight echo through the corridors of time, emerges a beacon of hope, a testament to resilience, empathy, and the unyielding spirit of the human heart. Lily Amis, a luminary in the realm of indie writing and lyrical prowess, alongside the maestro of sound and performance, producer Warren Young aka singer-rapper Thir13een, unveils their magnum opus, ‘LEGACY4HUMANITY’. 

This transcendent collection of songs is not merely an album but a chronicle of the human experience, a tapestry woven with threads of compassion, introspection, and a profound call to action. Inspired by the cavernous depths of human suffering and the indomitable will to rise above, ‘LEGACY4HUMANITY’ is a testament to the power of music as a catalyst for change.

At its core, ‘LEGACY4HUMANITY’ is a mosaic of 13 meticulously crafted tracks, each a poignant reflection of the human condition, from the haunting strains of R&B to the pulsating rhythms of rap, from the soul-stirring melodies of pop to the raw energy of hip-hop. Let us embark on a journey through the chapters of this opus, where every note is a brushstroke painting the canvas of our shared humanity.

The album opens with ‘80 MILLION PEOPLE’, an R&B anthem that echoes the silent cries of the forgotten. It serves as a poignant tribute to the resilience of refugees worldwide. Through Lily Amis’ poignant lyrics and Thir13een’s soul-stirring vocals, this track transcends borders, reminding us of the human stories obscured by statistics.

Amidst the clamor of discord, ‘BLOOD IS ALWAYS RED’ emerges as an anti-war hymn, a fervent plea for acceptance, tolerance, and unity. Against the backdrop of societal turbulence, Lily Amis and Thir13een beckon us to embrace the common threads that bind us as one human family.

Inspired by the memoirs etched in the annals of time, ‘THE STOLEN YEARS’ stands as a testament to the sanctity of time and the imperative of charting our destinies. Through mellifluous melodies and introspective verses, this track implores us not to relinquish control of our lives to the hands of fate.

A melodic ode to resilience and faith, ‘THE THREE OF US’ beckons to the weary souls adrift in the tempest of life’s trials. As Lily Amis’ poignant lyrics intertwine with Thir13een’s soulful cadence, a symphony of hope emerges, reminding us that even in our darkest hours, we are never alone.

In a world rife with power struggles and deceit, ‘YOYO & CHESS’ serves as a clarion call for liberation. Through incisive rap verses and unbridled passion, Lily Amis and Thir13een urge us to reclaim our autonomy and resist the machinations of those who seek to manipulate our destinies.

A homage to maternal love and sacrifice, ‘SIMA’ unfurls like a tapestry of adoration and reverence. ‘SIMA’ is Lily’s mother’s name and stands, among other things, for Strong Independent Mom And so much more. Set against a backdrop of 80s-inspired pop melodies, this heartfelt tribute celebrates the unsung heroes who nurture life’s precious flame.

In a world marred by indifference, ‘TASTELESS BREAKFAST’ emerges as a rallying cry against complacency. Through stirring harmonies and evocative lyrics, Lily Amis and Thir13een implore us to confront the harsh realities of homelessness and hunger with empathy and action.

Amidst the clamor of apathy, ‘MY MISSION’ resounds as a clarion call for activism and compassion. Through impassioned vocals and resolute conviction, Lily Amis and Thir13een ignite the flames of change, urging us to become proactive in an inhumane scoiety and be the voices for the voiceless.

Against the backdrop of disparity, ‘MY VISION’ emerges as an anthem of gratitude and awareness. Through ethereal melodies and introspective verses, this track serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to uplift those in need. This track is also an endorsement for two great charities – The Christoffel Blind Mission Switzerland and SMILE TRAIN UK.

Inspired by the transcendent power of the short story “LENNON, THE MIRACLE OF MUSIC” by Lily Amis, ‘THE MIRACLE OF MUSIC’ beckons us to embrace unity and harmony. As Lily Amis’ evocative prose intertwines with Thir13een’s stirring vocals, a symphony of peace unfurls, bridging the chasms that divide us.

A cathartic exploration of resilience and renewal, ‘PING PONG & PUZZLE’ serves as a testament to the transformative power of letting go of toxic people and painful experiences. Through buoyant pop melodies and introspective lyrics, Lily Amis and Thir13een invite us to release the burdens of our past and embrace the promise of tomorrow.

Amidst the ache of displacement, ‘HOMETOWN’ emerges as a poignant lament for the lost and the lonely. Set against a backdrop of haunting piano driven melodies, this track speaks to the anguish of exile and the enduring quest for belonging in foreign countries with hostile societal environments.

In a world ensnared by greed and deceit, ‘BOWLING’ stands as a defiant anthem against the forces of tyranny. Through impassioned rap verses and unyielding resolve, Lily Amis and Thir13een challenge us to reject the siren song of power and embrace the true measure of wealth – compassion. It also criticizes the mainstream media, which frequently abuses its influence, manipulates, and inundates us with sensationalized falsehoods and misleading narratives.

Moreover, explains Lily Amis, “The Bowling ball symbolizes the bombs in war that destroy countries and kill people. The ten pins standing and looking at the bowling ball rolling towards them symbolize our incapable world leaders who wait, watch, and don’t stop the bloody wars and madness because they are making a fortune!”

The Bonus track, ‘SECRET ANGELS’ is a tender tribute to the unsung heroes among us. The song resonates as a hymn of gratitude and recognition. Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring vocals, Lily Amis and Thir13een honor the everyday saints who grace our lives with their selfless acts of kindness.

In the tapestry of human existence, ‘LEGACY4HUMANITY’ emerges as a luminous thread, weaving together the disparate strands of our collective journey. Through Lily Amis’ poignant lyricism, Thir13een’s evocative melodies, and Warren Young’s exquisite music production, this opus stands as a testament to the enduring power of music to uplift, inspire, and ignite the flames of change. Join them on this transformative journey as Lily Amis and Thir13een unlock the legacy of humanity, one song at a time.

Legacy4Humanity Album - Tuneloud Magazine Cover April 2024!


The previous two months have been very eye-opening and extremely challenging. It was emotionally exhausting, and I am annoyed for weeks about the lack of respect, transparency and fairness in this corrupt streaming industry! 

As you have seen on this blog, on Instagram and on Twitter, I have started an online petition demanding more RESPECT for indie artists work worldwide #RespectIndiArtistsWork. 

I feel that the upcoming changes by Spotify and other stores are a sign that they are realizing that indie artists are not a bunch of clueless, naive, stupid dreamers! We see what is happening, and we stand up and raise our voice! We demand the respect that we deserve! 

All these distributors and music stores are nothing and no one without the hard work, passion and love for music daily produced, published and promoted by the amazing indie artist community. 

Like the British Post Office Scandal, this corrupt global streaming system will fail soon. They no longer can insult and disrespect indie artists with false and fraud accusations using AI as an excuse to take down tracks, closing artist accounts and keeping royalties to themselves! It is criminal, and these people soon have to be taken accountable for their awful and unlawful actions and treatment!

While I'm fighting this system along other incredible indies, I'm happy and exited to share the Tuneloud Music Magazine Cover from April/May 2024! Thir13een and I are on the cover of this great indie music magazine, promoting our album Legacy4Humanity in a 4-page feature in the print and digital edition. This cover is a highlight and celebration of a dream-team collaborating for two years!
