LYRICS by Christian Bartsch (Zehabee) based on a true story

[Intro]
it’s a mess - oh you became - another of these kids, another of these kids
with fifty-fifty-parents, with fifty-fifty-parents, with fifty-fifty-parents, aha

[Verse]
It is definitely - the only thing - what gives deep pain, what gives deep pain
oh into my heart, into my heart, into my heart, aha.

[Chorus]
though I’m a father with no rights – I still – love you
and I do all my life
though you’re livin’ with your mother – my heart – is with you
and I’m your distance-father.

[Verse]
is there anybody, understanding what - bad pain I’m feeling, bad pain I’m feeling,
when I can see you walkin’, when I can see you walkin’, when I can see you walkin’, aha.
down on the beach, with a smiling eye, runnin’ across the sand, runnin’ across the sand
on video I see this, on video I see this, on video I see this, aha.

[Bridge]
divorce is no problem, losin’ childs it is
divorce is no problem, losin’ childs it is

[Chorus]
though I’m a father with no rights – I still – love you
and I do all my life
though you’re livin’ with your mother – my heart – is with you
and I’m your distance-father.

[Chorus]
though I’m a father with no rights – I still – love you
and I do all my life
though you’re livin’ with your mother – my heart – is with you
and I’m your distance-father.

From the initial atmospheric pads and haunting vocal echoes, this track immediately establishes a serious, cinematic tone. It doesn't waste time, quickly launching into a propulsive and infectious synth arpeggio that forms the unwavering backbone of the piece. This is a track built on tension and release, expertly crafted for modern dramatic storytelling. The production quality is high, with a punchy, tight low-end and a wide stereo image filled with tastefully layered synths that create a sense of scale and depth.

The raw, impassioned male vocal is the undeniable emotional core. It's not just singing; it's a narrative performance that conveys a deep sense of struggle, longing, and determination. This lyrical specificity makes it an absolute powerhouse for a film or TV series centered on themes of family conflict, personal battles, or overcoming adversity. A music supervisor looking for a cue to underscore a climactic character moment or a montage of painful memories would find this track exceptionally effective.

Its usability extends well beyond traditional media. For advertising, the instrumental sections are gold. Imagine this driving a high-performance car commercial, a promo for an intense sports league, or a brand film for a tech company that wants to project a bold, determined image. The relentless forward momentum is incredibly motivational. In the gaming world, it’s a perfect fit for a title screen of a gritty, story-driven RPG or to score a pivotal cutscene where the stakes are at their highest.

What truly sets this track apart for production use is its dynamic structure. It builds, breaks down, and re-emerges with even greater intensity, providing multiple edit points for a video editor to latch onto. The instrumental breaks are just as powerful as the vocal sections, offering versatility for scenes requiring background tension without lyrical distraction. It feels modern, polished, and emotionally resonant—a track that doesn't just fill space but actively enhances the narrative and amplifies the emotional impact of any project it accompanies.
