Feeling Bad In Shanghai 04:24
lyrics
download
Standing in a foreign place far from everybody else I felt I had no home within myself Then I saw the clouds drift by the bright lights on the towers high where a million work and dream and sigh And I think to myself: When I was feeling bad, it didn't matter that I was feeling bad cause I was feeling bad in Shanghai Yeah, just to grace that golden place I'd endure a grim malaise Just come at me A girl turned my grey skies blue like all I'd waited for came true but that dream twisted and turned cruel so I suffered and I lost my mind suffered and could see no light but in her eyes that blue sky would still shine So I think to myself: When I suffered a lot It didn't matter that I suffered a lot Because I suffered a lot by her side Yeah, there are things in life beyond joy or pain I just hope I'll live them again cause they can turn it all around Yeah, love can make time stand still And you never know when next it will Oh come at me If you have no rock to dwell on - don't know who you are, except from sometimes in a film or in a song Life only makes some sense when you close your eyes and pretend Well, in this town, we all feel wrong And I think to myself: If we're all lost and wrong it doesn't matter that we're lost and wrong Because we're lost and wrong together Yeah, the happy people don't exist or if they do, they're a tiny list and they're not our problem All I got's a broken heart, and time and lights and love and art Just come at me

Deepwater Fish 04:34
lyrics

Deepwater fish where have you swum to? I can't see you in the dark and the ocean is so vast I want to go into the deep with you No one else knows There's only me and you This black abyss is full of wonder, possibilities, ways into the yonder Deepwater fish where have you swum to? I can't see you in the dark I can't trace your lonely path My deepwater fish, where have you swum to? I can't see you in the dark but I feel you in my heart Search with me the deep blue sea from Kiribati to the tip of Sicily My deepwater fish, I have you coded in coordinates inside I will never let you die Deepwater fish where have you swum to? I can't see you in the dark I can't trace your lonely path My deepwater fish, where have you swum to? I can't see you in the dark But I feel you in my heart Deepwater fish because of you I've seen how vast this ocean is - how much there is to dream I search the night Your vibrations are my guide I sense you everywhere how you shimmer and ensnare Deepwater fish where have you swum to? I can't see you in the dark I can't trace your lonely path My deepwater fish where have you come to? I can't see you in the dark but I feel you in my heart

The Moon 03:59
lyrics

The moon hears me the moon knows me the moon believes me represents me Behind the trees above the sea amid the clouds secretly When all is said and done in the thronehall of the night before and after the sun before and after the light The moon assures me The moon lures me The moon endures me The moon cures me I have eyes of moonlight dark matter in my veins I'll guide you on by starlight we'll fly across these plains I go far beyond what you see There's a galaxy in me Ask the moon about me Luna - me and she It's not over It's beginning We're not losing We're winning The moon knows our plans But she will never tell The moon guides our hands All is well, all is well It's for us the moon is shining The moon - under every leaf Wherever she is hiding Luna - me and she 中文歌词: 月亮听到我 月亮认识我 月亮信我 月亮代表我 树子后面 海洋上面 云子中间 密密地 所有都做完了 在夜的朝厅 太阳前面，后面 阳光后面，前面 我超你看得见的超得多 在我里有星系 给月亮问我是谁吧 月亮 / 她和我 月亮向我保证 月色撩我 月亮受得了我 月亮治好我 尽头还不到了 开始才在过 咱们不在输呢 咱们是在赢的 月亮知道咱们的计划 但是它从来不将说 月亮导咱们的手 到处都一切好 月亮 为了咱们照光 月亮 在各个叶子下面 藏在任何地方 月亮，她和我

Winter Song 05:35
lyrics
download
It's winter and I'm waiting Watching from far away Watching us blow away Where will we go? On the hill, the cold wind blows Songbirds sing in the evening The lakes are covered in ice The patterns hold no meaning the cold obscures our eyes Winter wind take us away let the fog turn the whole world white today white clouds white snow white noise white glow white clouds white snow white noise white glow I'm falling and falling falling, falling I was falling in summer and I'm falling now falling by windows falling through clouds falling through the underground falling in your house There is a stair somewhere a way, out there to nowhere Windows on the roof looking for a star gazing into space watching from afar

Showdown 05:34
lyrics
download
All my life has felt like setting out now it feels like ending up Seems yesterday I had all the time in the world and now time is up and I lost I thought I'd always have another chance and that my world would end up healthy and bright through whatever twists of fate, I thought I had a guardian angel on my side You're still strong and bright in my mind shining like an evening star I never tried to cut you down Could not betray you, not even now I've always held you firm in mind even though it's made my world seem unkind I always said I'd choose the truth over a happy life and my heart is very true and my day is night Born full of promise with a world to lose I was told I could have whatever I would choose so I chose to search in shadows for a secret door so I chose to wait in wonder before the law Found neither love nor success nor my way in life just a slew of sparkling dreams and some flashes of light Here I am, all alone as the dark is calling and the stars are falling, the stars are falling It's a beautiful world, I will have you know much I have forgotten but not this world's glow and it pains me to know I'll never see you again, I sang, under my breath, to an empty window pane Everyone I loved, I have lost Everything of value turns to dust I live in useless comforts like a gangster on the run I toast to a ghost in the evening sun I don't want to be brilliant, I just want to make sense I want to give it all away I don't want to be this person I seem to have become Don't want to stay here another day

about

If the new romantics rebelled against a punk cultural order in 1980, you can consider this album "still romantic" - a last, hopeless stand for the introspective perspective in the middle of a loud world as Western music is once again swept into the stream of the political.

Even I have no excuses anymore after this. I will get busy changing the world, I promise.


Special thanks:

- The cat that sometimes sneaks into my rehearsal space when I leave the door open and then scares me by suddenly leaping up from a pile of abandoned sequencers and guitar pedals.

- The job market for more or less shunning me and pushing me into the sombre life of precarious bohème artistry. Aren't you envious?

- My deepwater fish for everything

- My sense of humour for being so generally awesome that I can totally get away with publishing several decidedly emotional and un-ironic songs without losing my edge.

- Bandcamp for not having a character limit for the "about this album" field. Writing this has been much more fun than making the songs. That was mainly agony and despair.
