Ship

The world is shaking like a ship
That’s blown across a roaring sea
We are the passengers aboard
And we must sing ferociously
The world is hanging on a string
And no one knows what happens next
We have the colours on our hands
We are the ones who write the text
Our souls are diamonds in the blue
And now the lazy days are through
Tonight the sky is dark and wild
And hearts are filled with fear and hope
You’re not the only one awake
The lights are on around the globe
Our souls are diamonds in the blue
And now the waiting days are through
The world is shaking like a ship
The world is shaking like a ship
The world is shaking like a ship
The world is shaking like a ship

Ozone Summers

Lush kisses
Lush kisses
Lush kisses
Lush kisses
In the ozone summers
On the ozone world
In the ozone summers
With the ozone girl
Wet horses
In our sleep
All around us
Love is cheap
In the ozone summers
On the ozone world
In the ozone summers
With the ozone girl
Wanna make you
Twist and moan
Under the airplanes
Under the drone
Wanna make you
Lose your heart
To the God
That gave us ozone summers
On the ozone world
In the ozone summers
With the ozone girl
In the ozone summers
On the ozone world
In the ozone summers
With the ozone girl
In the ozone summers
On the ozone world
In the ozone summers
With the ozone girl
Oh my God
It’s so hot out here …
So hot out here …
Hey – you wanna go over to the gas station
And grab a can of something wet?
So hot …
Look at those pal trees in the wind …

Moonlit Days
03:03
|
|||
|
I don’t like you anymore
Frozen flowers at my door
Distant voices in my head
All the things that were not said
All we had once now is dead
I’ll just hit the gas and roll
Hope the angels save my soul
I don’t care how long you cry
It was time to end the lie
It was time to say goodbye
And my mind gets dark and out of tune
In the soft hot night at the end of June
And the car rolls south with the windows wide
And foreign voices on my radio
On my radio
I’ll just sing and drink and die
I’m a child with apple-pie
At the corners of my mouth
While the car is rolling south
While the car is rolling south
And my mind gets dark and out of tune
In the soft hot night at the end of June
And the car rolls south with the windows wide
And foreign voices on my radio
On my radio

Songs Of The Incomplete
06:38
|
|||
|
Here come the flowers the flowers of light
The dance of spaghetti on the interstate flight
Here comes the waitress that strokes my hair
And tells the little boy that we’re almost there
These are the comics I got for the ride
The candy and the kisses and the shivers inside
These are the dreams that were made in Taiwan
This is what’s left when your friends are gone
These are the summers you just can’t beat
Here come the songs of the incomplete
These are the summers you just can’t beat
Here come the songs of the incomplete
Here come the years under pumpkin skies
This is the truth and these are the lies
Here come the minutes you were waiting for
These are the sounds from behind the door
Here come the tunes that you get so cheap
And these are the cities that you made in your sleep
This is your ticket to vacation land
With a toothbrush on your ear and a pencil in your hand
These are the summers you just can’t beat
Here come the songs of the incomplete
These are the summers that smell so sweet
Here come the songs of the incomplete
This is the world
The world you want
This is the world
The world you want
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
I wanna kiss you baby
In a sea full of light
I’m gonna kiss you baby
In an ocean full of flowers
I’m gonna kiss you babe kiss you babe
Because it’s summer babe…
And here come the flowers you just can’t beat
C’est nul!
Here come the summers that smell so sweet
C’est vide!
Brune!
And here come the summers that smell so sweet
Here come the songs of the incomplete
This is the world
The world you want
Here come the days you just can’t beat
Here come the songs of the incomplete
C’est nul!
C’est vide!
Here come the summers you just can’t beat
Here come the songs of the incomplete
This is the world
The world you want
Here come the days that smell so sweet
Here come the songs of the incomplete
An ocean full of flowers
A sea full of flowers
Here come the summers you just can’t beat
Here come the songs of the incomplete
Incomplete

Bigger buildings / Will you be by my side?
Bigger buildings / Will you be by my side?
Coming up slowly
There’s water in my ears
Coming up slowly
There’s water in my ears
Below us bigger buildings
Bigger than the night
And if I ever wake up
Will you be by my side?
It was all so important
But I didn’t understand
They gave me these presents
But I didn’t understand
Around me a distance
Bluer than the sea
And if I ever wake up
Will you be there with me?
Below us bigger buildings
Bigger than the night
And if I ever wake up
Will you be by my side?
Bigger buildings / Will you be by my side?
Bigger buildings / Will you be by my side?

Clouds
03:13
|

|
These clouds so high remind me of the seventies when mom was gone and I was stoned and love and peace were long forlorn and dreams were torn
Dreams were torn
If you don’t hit the notes you need it won’t be long until you bleed your fucking brains onto the floor where they won’t help this world no more
World no more
So don’t you dare to think about what neighbours talk and girlfriends shout don’t let a lousy little doubt eat on your heart just sing out loud
Sing out loud
These sunny days won’t last too long in fact your teeth will soon be gone and all the movies in your head will turn to garbage when you’re dead
When you’re dead

Hello this is home
The backyard
The pumpkins on the fence
Dimensions
Stretch endlessly
This is home
Hello this is home
The love and the shivers
This is home

Curse To The Wind
04:19
|

|
Where are you now?
Please come home
Where are you now?
Please come home
The kitchen is sold
Please come home
The garden is bare
The birds have all flown
I dream of machines
That take you from here
I dream of machines
That take you from here
I dream of the nights
You breathed on my ear
I’ll cut off my head
To stop all the tears
The wheat-fields are all on fire
And I made them burn
The wheat-fields are all on fire
Will I ever learn?
Here in my arms
Is where you should be
Here in my arms
Is where you should be
Here in my heart
Is a vacancy
I curse to the wind
That took you from me

Big Blue Wall
03:07
|
|||
|
The sky is a big blue wall
That keeps us apart
From the emptiness beyond
But we down here
Just try to ignore
This fact
And meet for birthday parties
From here to the Milky Way
There’s nothing but space
And almost all of us are crazy
A different world
In each of our heads
That lasts
Until we lose our faces
The night is a dark blue cloth
The wing of a crow
That sweeps across our shoulder blades
But who cares anyway …

Crying For Barbara
03:02
|
|||
|
The girl that I loved
Had her own special smell
It was pretty much like summer
And nights on the ocean
And the things we used to do
Were much better than boredom
And we lived in a small apartment
Where the big trucks rolled by
It was mostly on Saturdays
When we went out for dinner
The sky was full of flashlights
And our hearts were full of lust
She said: “Are you always gonna love me?”
I said: “Of course I will honey!”
And we went to the pizzeria
For some coffee and cream
And there’s always the Sundays
And we hated that day
Cause it made me feel so lonely
That I lost faith in friendship
And I get these little moods
Where I say something ugly
And Barbara starts crying
And I hated myself
She was young enough to make it
So she left in September
And she never said goodbye
Cause she ain’t sentimental
And I don’t wanna think about her
Cause it might make me crazy
And now it’s almost Christmas
And I’m crying for Barbara

Driving Song
04:47
|

|
Sleeping in the car
Bags beneath the seat
The country that we crossed
Was holy and complete
And oh how much I like you
My heart is like a bird
Floating on a melody
That no one ever heard
From here to the horizon
The humming of the bees
An endless field of violets
And single olive trees
And you and me were out there
Gazing at the sky
Where giant birds flew circles
And clouds were travelling by
And all we drink is water
And menthol cigarettes
The roads are wide and empty
The skies are cool no jets
And that I ever found you
Is such a big surprise
I can’t wait til you wake up
And the sun begins to rise

Where The Rivers End
12:51
|
|||
|
I remember living
On the western coast of France
I was only seventeen
When a girl first took my heart
And though I seen the rivers
They never looked as good as you
And though I seen the rivers
They never looked as good as you
Sometimes the light would shine down
Sometimes the world was black and white
Sometimes the light would shine down
Sometimes the world was black and white
And though I seen the rivers
They never looked as good as you
And though I seen the rivers
All they ever do is remind me of you
You know I could have loved you
You know I once believed in you
You know I could have loved you
You know I once believed in you
And though I seen the rivers
They never looked as good as you
And though I seen the rivers
They never looked as good as you

The Way To My Head

This band is very talented! They produce beautiful and genuine tracks. The album is really exceptional with great lyrics and a wide spectrum of lush sounds as well. One of the best albums I 've heard this year.

Low Life | We Can't Lose. We Have Already Lost.
by Adolf Plays The Jazz
supported by 5 fans who also own “Moonlit Days”
Cinematic, unforgiving and relentlessly melodic, this album would be the perfect soundtrack for a midnight walk in a deserted megacity. Remarkable musicianship and a great sense of melody, combined with a top notch and warm sound production. Between post rock and jazz, this album benefits greatly from the brilliant colours of the saxophone and the quality vocals and lyrics of their singer Nefeli. Hands down their best work to date, you 'd be making a serious mistake not to check it out today!

Suffocate
by Morphine Social Club

To be honest, I have no idea how to classify this EP into a certain genre. It's powerful, groovy and blows the dust out of your ears. So if you like energetic rock music, just give it a listen and enjoy the trip!
