about

Born in a jam on a rooftop above Berlin, Fete de la musique, 2020. I finished this recording on a holiday. Being away from home I had no guitar with me, so I used more synth tracks.

lyrics

They want their good times
they want their old times back again
when life was simple, way back when
they could just dominate and
not care bout anyone else

I know in this day and age
things tend to get complicated
I’ll put on your shoes
At least I’ll try to
The task we all got at hand
Is to listen, to understand
And the pains of growing
just means we’re evolving
Aren’t we?

Bring back the old times
Except we can’t
Time won’t move backwards
don’t you understand?
But it is on us to
make it the best that we can

I know in this day and age
it’s way too easy to get enraged
throw shade at me
if you see more than I see
The task we all got at hand
Is to listen, to understand
And the pains of growing
are better than not knowing

I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make songs that no one cares about.
