About You 06:22
You walk down the road It warms up my whole heart You stand by my side You're so sweet, it makes me blind Hey, it takes me high, so high up to the sky Honey I love you so Oh all the candles shine, you blow them out Let all the lovers of the night go, so far away You’re the beauty of my life How you laugh, how you smile your mother said she’s proud of you Oh I love you Hey, it takes me high, so high up to the sky Honey I love you so Oh all the candles shine, you blow them out Let all the lovers of the night go, so far away Your eyes shine like the stars, The moon comes up, the sun rises You fall in my arms, oh I love you Oh I love you so

You walk down the parkway, see the cars passing by You drive on the highway maybe you're the right man Maybe you should better stay, come on lets go We have to go away You are, you are the man You are, you are the man Love the people and come up from your deepness You see the sun goes down, feel the air around you A cigarette in your hand, the music in your heart Maybe, maybe you just need a restart You are, you are the man You are, you are the man Love the people and come up from your deepness

Mr. Jones 05:02
You listen, what does he say You hear the guitar play it again It makes you feel good It takes all that pressure, that lays on your shoulders, that makes you sick There is something that can't be explained in words But I don't know what it is That opens to somebody a new door That shows deep feelings nobody ever felt before Can you explain Mr. Jones 'cause I don't really know Where are all those songs gone about sex drugs and rock’n roll What is the new style Where are all those great guitar players gone I need them now, I need them now I need them now, I need them now There is something that can't be explained in words But I don't know what it is That opens to somebody a new door That shows deep feelings nobody ever felt before Can you explain Mr. Jones 'cause I don't really know You learn about peace and love About death and war That is taking place Right in front of our door There is something that can't be explained in words But I don't know what it is That opens to somebody a new door That shows deep feelings nobody ever felt before Can you explain Mr. Jones 'cause I don't really know

Who Are We 04:38
She walks down the hall to the street There are no homes any more Mother’s gone, daddy lays by her side He is not breathing anymore But we turn our heads away Oh we just turn our heads away Politics says this war needs to end But still bombs take innocent lives So please stop this useless talk And start to react Who are we, are we who we are? Who are we, are we who we are? Feeling lonely feeling down Feeling broken, left alone Where are those laughs, where are those smiles gone Oh we just turn our heads away Who are we are we who, who we are? Who are we are we who, who we are? Oh are we who, who we are? Oh are we who we who we are, who we are?
5.
You feel the power, how it's flowing through your veins You need some water to rebuilt You feel broken, what is wrong with you Your life is over don’t be afraid Your life is over no one can stay Forever They say you're stupid, don't you wanna change Sometimes life is bitter, stand up and try Your life is over don’t be afraid Your life is over no one can stay Forever Your life is over don’t be afraid Your life is over no one can stay Forever

Broken Boots 03:59
Walking down the road through a forest of thoughts See the clouds going south I wear my broken boots try to leave myself behind Searching for a place to be Here I am alone just by the river it flows And all the dreams they go, they go away Try to find somewhere to stay for the night Oh oh oh oh... I think about us and our time Do you really know what goes on I'm traveling alone through the country, can't go home 'Cause they send me away I see you trying to find your way back to the mountain Where it all began, began to start Try to find somewhere to stay for the night Oh oh oh oh... Try to find somewhere to stay for the night Wanna be just with you, but I can't Standing at the river the sun goes down I see him taking everything I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go To go away Oh oh oh oh...

Hurry Up 04:40
Upon the hills, upon the fields See the sun rise, see how she goes down Wanna leave this place behind take the road down to the ocean Wanna see the waves breaking, breaking those walls Feel like a rolling stone, and I run run run run run and I just hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh See the shadows trying to catch me, but I run as fast as I can Need to break out, forget the old ones and find to my self and I run run run run run I just hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh People come, people go, they go But their souls they live on, live on Oh I wanna go home and see the ones I love, I love But I don't know how much time I have left until their gone hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh hurry up hurry up hurry up oho oh oh oh

Education 03:47
You walk right in this room See those little ones And you ask yourself which way will they go You tell them all what you know All about math and history It came to your mind on your way home There is just one way we can go, we can go Education, education oh oh oh oh that's what we need, Thats what we need They've only got what they have Not too much, nothing seems safe They work hard, not enough to eat Freedoms gone, they wanna live, they wanna live Education, education oh oh oh oh that's what we need, That's what we need They had been crawling on the floor, now they're walking outside their doors They are throwing those stones 'cause they want more, they want more Education oh oh oh oh that's what we need, That's what we need They had been crawling on the floor now they're walking outside their doors They are throwing those stones 'cause they want more, they want more
9.
We are on our own The fire keeps me safe and warm, far away from home Here we live our dream, nothing to upset me On the hill where we are tonight And we dance through the night, everybody is around There is peace, there is love, there are hearts which give the beat Do you know how we run through the night I think about the past Reflect what took me so long to get on the hill Where we are tonight And we dance through the night, everybody is around There is peace, there is love, there are hearts which give the beat do you know how we run through the night And we dance through the night, everybody is around There is peace, there is love, there are hearts which give the beat do you know how we run through the night

about

We recorded this album during a two weeks holiday in a small cabin in the middle of nowhere - in Lirstal, Germany.
All instruments are played by ourselves. We tried to limit the amount of post-editing and mixing to keep the unique feeling of the beautiful nature surrounding us while being there.
Special thanks to Audio-Technica for borrowing us everything we needed to record our music.
