The Banks

The Banks 02:41
We sat on the banks And it was seven years ago Singing all the songs the others don't know If we're still in a band In round bout seven years from now I can hardly say if it was my fault Cause time is changing everything Where once was heart there now is only head in And all the childish games we've played Lost somewhere in between The years, the lines, the banks, the times and conscience So if we'd get the chance Of going back to 98 I hope that you would do the same as I would We sit on the banks Remembering all those good old times Singing all the songs the others don't mind We're still in a band And there's no chapter to rewind I can truly say that it felt No, I can truly say that it feels Well, I can truly say it will feel so right

MANY MOONS AGO Maybe I know that it's not all over yet For far too long we've been all over it You call it home what you want to forget I pick up the phone and dial the prefix you had “The number you have dialed Is no longer in service Check the number, dial again Or consult directory enquiries“ I need you here, it's so cold waking up Without you near me and my empty cup Let's make it clear that it's just a big fuck-up And to be sincere, I wonder if you miss me much “Hey Darling there you are I miss you so and can't let go Got years to wait around and so I kissed you many moons ago“ Waiting is easy Now that I know you won't leave me Need a plane and then I'm on my way I got the feeling That the clouds and the ceiling Are not really so far away ++ TWO TIMES TWENTY-TWO This one is for you And all you singer/songwriters If I carry it through They'll bury me by your side I don't know what it is That makes you believe in All the talent and gift Existing in me and you and him and her and us And I thought you'd had enough But no one can take your love And I try to be like you Though you're two times twenty-two It's not what you say It's the way that you say it And all your words weigh On us so heavily You prove and you show How hard can be easy Show me someone you don't know Cause you know me and you and him and her and us musicians: Tess Wiley - vocals Ruby Hartbrich - cello Cyprian Piskurek - piano Dinesh Ketelsen - bass Patrick Scheipers - drums Gregor McEwan - vocals & acoustic guitar

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
