Here is my version of David Sylvian's Talheim, a track from 1999.
it was fun to try to replicate as much as possible the original track, with some minor changes, a flute instead of a trumpet, and some strings in the background. But overall the same song but an ending instead of a fade-out. But one big change is that even though is still a very spiritual song, due to Sylvian's attachment to the place, where he met his guru and Buddhist master, Talheim was also the place of a mass grave found dating back to the year 5000 BC. he pit contained the remains of 34 bodies, and evidence points towards the first signs of organized violence in Early Neolithic Europe.

lyrics

Couldn't leave you if I tried
Couldn't weather this alone
And through the darkness you still provide
The sweetest love I've ever known

Take the shadow from the road I walk upon
Be my sunshine, sunshine
And in the emptiness
You look and find someone
The damage is undone
And love has made you strong
And heaven gave me mine, Thalheim

The saddest words have come undone
Changing the very air I breathe
And miracles have just begun
In which only you and I believe

Take the shadow from the road I walk upon
Be my sunshine, sunshine
And in the weightlessness
You look and find someone
The damage is undone
And love has made you strong
Heaven gave me mine, Thalheim

When I'm all the sea
You never let me down
I'll just keep coming back to you
‘Til I walk on solid ground

From the foothills to the mountains
On the waters of the Rhine
Face to face in Shahbagh gardens
In communion, out of time

Thalheim, Thalheim

From the lilies of the valley
To the grapes upon the vine
The well of speculation
Is it his or hers or mine?

Thalheim, Thalheim

In the everything and nothing
In disharmony and rhyme
In the sound of shot and echo
Who's the victim, what's the crime?
What's the crime?

Be my, be my sunshine

In the keening cries of evening
Unforgotten, underlined
We slipped into the water
Out of focus, out of time
