From A To Beginning

by GREGOR McEWAN

/
1.
I hope you stay here for tonight Though I know it’s not easy to find Your own peace of mind Cause it always takes two to make peace And to make the circle complete
2.
Goodbye loneliness, hey there togetherness I’ve got tons to catch up on Farewell unhappiness, wait for you, easiness Could you please come along? You’re always about To burst through every cloud And I still long for you Like the morning dew Replace, rewind, retrack, rename I focus on this perfect game Rewind, retrack, rename, restore Could you please stay forevermore? I won’t promise you the world But I promise you mine And make the fur fly In the blink of an eye I’ve grown too old To die young now No strings attached So take a bow So take me as I am I take you as you are Rewind, retrack, rename, restore
3.
Every time you’re happy something brings you down When it’s too late to turn around Or someone breaks your heart And every time you’re down you’ll find that exit door At the end of the corridor To make a brand new start There’s always day, there’s always night There’s always black, there’s always white There’s always dark, there’s always light And there’s nothing else to know What is not supposed to happen, happens anyway And I suppose That’s just the way life goes As long as there’s tomorrow, there’ll be a better day Good and bad will come And surely all at once There’s always cramped, there’s always wide There’s always drab, there’s always bright There’s always left, there’s always right Wherever we may go Time runs by and Time comes and ends When time becomes time

You And I 03:13
Make me stay don’t let me go My favourite thing is being yours But I’m just like a distant town So far away and so alone Where are you? Please just give me a sign Before we break in two I’ll make you mine Here I am But where am I When you and I collide? Here I am But where am I? Select connect to go online So much web, so little time I must confess I’m so annoyed Unimpressed and unemployed
5.
Alderaan 03:05
You think that you can go from here to there While I stay here and can’t afford the fare I don’t regret a single thing I’ve done But I do regret every song I’ve sung Don’t leave me Please ease me Believe me Our hearts will always march to the same beat Maybe I will put you back to sleep Close my eyes and hope that we will meet It’s heavenly and written in the stars They say that this was once called Alderaan Four years, they say One more to stay With me Fall asleep and we’ll Sleep through this year And we’ll go anywhere
6.
Green Mile 03:35
We’re too young for regrets What’s now will soon be past I make my way to the sea If you’re making your way with me And all the leaves they turn to gold And the season’s getting cold And we’re just getting old Oh I’m just getting old I’m not giving up I’m just starting over I won’t fuck it up I’m just getting older It’s not a bad cough It’s a green mile And it will lead us Into the wild And see how we fall back and spring ahead
7.
On Her Radar 03:03
She’s a saint and I’m a sinner She’s so sweet and I am bitter She’s an expert, I’m a beginner She’s an artist, I’m just a singer But I am on her radar And I wanna stay there Feels just like she’s by my side The fancy food I’ve made her To share it with you later Was made to keep me satisfied There’s more me in me than there should be There’s more me in you than I can get through She makes cash and I reduce it She’s so clever and I’m clueless She makes love, I make excuses She’s so smart and I am foolish Let’s build bridges so that we Can make it to the island And leave this soul asylum The birds, the trees, the wind, the sea And stars as clear as diamonds But it’s me who breaks the silence
8.
[Untitled] 01:53
9.
When I awoke I was lost But then I spoke to your god And travelled through five dimensions To bring you to your senses I’ll go anywhere I have to And anytime I need to Do anything you want to My love But I got lost
10.
Please slow down Take a break, turn off your phone Let it go Baskets of leaves, blankets of snow Come to rest Catch a breath and just relax Steal a car Take a ride and we’ll go far And the traffic lights And the building sites And the subway rides And the bits and bytes Let it go Be slow Take your time Settle down Have a drink and hang around No more thrills Bottles of pills beyond the hills Take a pause No drum beat and no applause Grab a seat In this world of make-believe
11.
Home 04:10
I try to rely on a lie that’s true I just want to hide right beside you I can feel you right beneath my feet And I hear you begging darling please Take good care I’m on my one way road That leads me to a place called home
12.
I should have a little less or a little more Before it all becomes the norm And test the rest before the next best lets Us see what he just saw What are you looking for? Please don’t reach your goals Cause then your journey ends And life stops making sense Breathe in, breathe out But don’t breathe a word about The magic trick of life Get in, get out From within and from without Beyond sphere and space and time I should try to cry my eyes out dry Before you become the cause And breathe in air when there’s still air to share Before the breathing pause You know a lot about you But I know more about you Yes, I know all about you

19.07.13 03:03
If every K is for the kisses And every A is for affection Then every T is for the time and I could be your island When I first saw you I stu-u-ttered When I first called you I forgot what I just wanted to tell Blue as the sky and green as hell And oh I wrote it down a hundred times And every time I did it felt so right But now that I’ve got you And now that you’ve got me No orchestra sets in Just you and me If there was a word that I could say Not absurd and not insane If there’s a thing that I can do All I’m searching for is you But damn it! now I’m stuck On a word I can’t look up Cause nothing could explain... Oh how I wrote these lines in vain
14.
Have you ever seen what I just saw? Have you ever been where I was before? Did you set me right when I was wrong? Did you ever sing what I have sung? Doo-oo-oooo-o-o-ooo Goes the backing vocal Doo-oo-oooo-o-o-ooo That’s how it sounds in total Doo-oo-oooo-o-o... Always almost alright With no end in sight When less is even more Begin, began, begun Do what can’t be done Today’s the day before We come and go We learn and grow We all will die Under the same blue sky

about

GREGOR McEWAN Leer, Germany

"These are obscenely expertly performed songs, an essence. Maybe Gregor McEwan has never before presented his art with this kind of focus. These tunes are a sensation! All this adrenaline, this joy, this melancholy inundating the listener. This is what this kind of music should be about - and nothing else. Every time I listen to it I am exhausted. Thank you for that!" (Linus Volkmann) ... more
