01: grape

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: dominique alioth)

when i was a child
lying in bed at night
i could always hide
hide in a world of dreams

see me running wild
each and every night
i invented all my life
i was happy that I lied

i’m a complicated soldier
i don’t do what I’m told
i’m exiled and I’m wanted
my friends out in the cold

i like walking in the park
staying young at heart
talk to the trees and remember
nobody needs to take my part

nothing is as good and great
as a grape

02: pale singer

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: nadia leonti)

pale singer 
night shifter
mood swinger
looking for connection with a bird
at last he couldn’t find
a thinner air to breathe
his vocals came with a squeaking chirp

late drifter
long distance
news bringer
is no longer in demand
his dreams feel real
the worst to deal
so fed up with information

pass by – fall out – shut down – cry out

high flyer
big city
born tiger
blood of  the mythical ancient souls
he hung ‚with loyalty‘
from a blooming cherry tree
a broken samurai with suit and tie

pass by – fall out – jump down – cry out

04: something

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: dominique alioth)

won’t you show me something
something i haven’t seen before
something i haven’t seen
a million times before

something great, something strange,
something beautiful

       am i asking too much

something new, something true, something wonderful

       am i asking too much

won’t you tell me something
something i haven’t heard before
something i haven’t heard
a million times before

something unnamed, something unclaimed,
something honestly     

       am i asking too much

something unframed, something unchained,
something free for free

       am i asking too much

won’t you play me something (2x)          

something overflowing with fantasy
something timeless for my stupid memory
finally something truly moving me
something i would die to live for
now

05: cows

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: dino tereh)

cows can’t drive a car
so they stay where they are
thinking ain’t it bizarre
this rock’n’roll star
with his guitar
singing ‚bout cows
who can’t drive a car

06: shades of brightness

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: cla nett)

won’t cross the border
should i stay or leave
i’ll bury my troubles
want to end my grief

sneakin‘ through the night
saw the crossroads sign
only one heads to sunrise
(have to) make up my mind

escape from daylight
into the darkest night
i’ll pull a blanket over my head
with brightened darkness
put my feet back on the ground
tear off the blanket on my head

you found me creeping
down on bended knees
no knights in white armour
bound to rescue me

sweet angel’s ways
liftin’ off the haze
do not ask any questions
just her love and grace

08: king of the future

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: nadia leonti
& cécile meyer)

thought about a boy with Mars in his pocket
and how he can kill, spitting out words like rockets
he’s driven by the instinct to own the streets

       so he can always keep

he can always keep his very soul clean
he‘s always got green lights while you have to wait
king of the future, he’s never late

thought about a girl and her Jupiter-senses
skipping along, not stopping at walls and fences
seeing through your door, you can‘t ask for more

       but calling for a ride

she‘s calling for a ride on her woven trail

she‘s always got green lights while you have to wait   queen of the future, she‘s never late

focused on beyond worlds but yet unaware
queen of the future you‘ll meet her there

keeping the focus they really care
Lovers of progress wanna meet you there
They‘ve got the focus and they want to share
Lovers of progress wanna meet you there….

09: your great imagination

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: nadia leonti)

i created a chamber for you and i know
that you will always stay there
i created a chamber for you and i know
that you will always stay there

sometimes it’s small
with silver boards
give off the smell of woodsometimes it’s a hall
or even has no walls
because of you it always changes

i created a chamber for you and i know 
that you will always stay there
that you will always stay there

sometimes it’s small
or maybe has no walls
because of your great imagination

10: blue christmas

(music: jakob künzel /
lyrics: marco piazzalonga)

the night is dark and long
with only shivers to share
a time like a shabby coat
where the snow can get in here and there

i’m walking this situation
a hole in my inner shoes
icicles that hang from my soul
ain’t nothing hurting more
than the christmas blues

the wind stands in the west
and brings clouds from the sea
(there are) high waves upon the water
and high waves deep within me 

it’s a blue, blue christmas (this year)

the night is dark and long
with only shivers to share
a time like a shabby coat
where the snow can get in here and there

things they have changed
it ain’t like it used to be
i’m talkin‘ about a straight direction
to put me some love under the christmas tree
