When the lights are out and the last people home and the wolves are on fire and the skies are pulling ropes you open my chest as if it had buttons and not much more to keep it tight and you grab a juicy handful and then you throw it in the water… my juicy beating muscle drowns in the water leaving bubbles on the surface and a sweet sweet memory

Loonie 04:07
Loonie take a ride with me in a silver taxi to Proxima B Loonie take a walk with me on a golden string I’ll swallow your pride and you swallow mine And when you look into my eyes which first you do avoid you will see something Across the Milky Way no one hears you anyway - it’s too late I got a bottle in my hand and a hammer that lies ready on the back seat Loonie, come and fly with me With melting wings I’ll swallow your time And when you look into my eyes Which first you do avoid you will see something Across the Milky Way no one hears you anyway - it’s too late I got a bottle in my hand and the hammer that lies ready on the backseat And when you look into my eyes while you slowly die you will see yourself I’ve got milk in my hair and scarlet everywhere … And a hammer in my hand and a bottle that lies empty on the backseat

Oh boy 03:25
you seem like a nice boy but you don’t know where you belong you have had the time and money to wonder what's wrong you seem like a cool boy but you don’t know where to begin you would need more time and money to know where you stand and now you’re walking through the city you’re breathing in, you’re breathing out and it’s just as hard on your lungs as smoking and everyone around you smokes and you love her to your bones so you light another cigarette and pour another one yeah, you pour another one you seem like a clever boy but you don’t know where to end seems like you used it all up time and money and cigarettes and now you’re walking through the city you’re breathing in, you’re breathing out and it’s just as hard on your lungs as smoking and everyone around you smokes and you love her to your bones so you light another cigarette and pour another one yeah, you pour another one

Archie 03:06
Archie Archie you are a melody you got me, got me kicked me off my feet we would dance on our rendez-vouz debate the world with force and laughter too Archie Archie and as the time goes by in march we'll march we'll be husband and wife we'll have a son and have a daughter too we'll be debating the world like we used to do Archie Archie it happened on the street they're marching, marching bullets between their teeth everyone's watching nobody sees a thing everyone hears you scream but nobody is listening Archie Archie and as the time goes by in march we'll march we'll bury you goodbye Archie Archie you are a melody they're marching and singing in every country

Love 03:13
I’m writing you a letter on pineapple leaves asking do you wanna meet me down by the trees Baby, I will fill you fill you with love The blackbird sings her song in the lonely night she spreads her wings and she starts to fly the sky is melon-red just because oh, I wanna fall asleep in your arms Baby, I will fill you fill you with love
6.
Unknow 03:09
Sometimes it’s a pity you can’t „unknow“ things sometimes it’s a pity you can’t forget sometimes it’s a pity you can’t „unfeel“ things sometimes you do regret sometimes it’s a pity you only feel love when like water it slips through your palms sometimes it’s a pity you can’t unsay words like cold smoke they hang in the walls sometimes, some time give me a kiss to one time be reminded of what I try to unknow

The park 03:05
Heard you playing in the park today The song you played now echoes far away your friends surrounded you you've seen it all that was right before you got that call „pack your stuff you're gonna leave tonight in just one suitcase will fit all your life take a taxi down to the shore someone's gonna pick you up I'm sure Never mind the lights that are chasin you they will soon fall behind never mind the voices inside your head they will soon stop to cry Saw you jumpin on a train today here people speak in tongues In know that they don't see the world through eyes like yours or mine You told me once that some things do need time Never mind the lights that are chasin you they will soon fall behind never mind the voices inside your head they will soon stop to cry

Killing time 04:14
The gate is closing someone runs don’t leave your luggage unattended the coffee’s bland Up and down come and go in and out the air conditioning in on Everybody here has only one thing on their mind Everybody here has only one thing on their mind Killing time Its Friday night but we can’t go out we’re playing chess we’re getting drunk we’re high and low We’re cooking rice, we’re cooking thoughts and the screen is on and on and on and on and on and on Everybody here has only one thing on their mind Everybody here has only one thing on their mind Killing time Maybe yes, maybe now, maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday, maybe not. Everybody here has only one thing on their mind Everybody here has only one thing on their mind Killing time

I’m almost going home This last round is my almost last one The sun is almost out there’s almost no-one in the streets Just you and me and me I’m a giant, you’re a fairy So I have a wish or three 1-2-3 And when the first wish hits my head That’s when the second one comes true And when the third one Takes me to places, I am almost going home The sun is almost down And almost all the shops are closing But there is you and me you’re a giant, I’m a fairy So you have a wish or three 3-2-1 And when the first one hits your head That’s when the second one comes true And when the third wish Takes you to places, I am almost going home I’m almost going home This last one is my almost last one The sun is almost out there’s almost no-one in the streets Just you and me and me, you and me and me…

about

"Killing time" is my second solo album, recorded mainly in my living room in Cologne, Germany. For five years I have been intensely touring with Indie band "Fortuna Ehrenfeld" as a keyboard player and singer and these songs were the ones I played to myself when I came home late at night from a gig or a tour. Songs to help me process what I had seen on tour, to relax and come back to myself.

It's a musical look inside and the decision to go for the reduced, honest versions of my songs. It took me courage to throw away most of the tracks that I recorded with some great musicians in the studio and go back to the "demo" versions I had recorded in my living room. When you listen carefully you can hear the noise of the overhead catenary in my guitar, the trains passing by my window and my neighbours yelling. It's rough, sensitive and it's honest, I love it!

René Tinner was just the right person to mix and produce the songs, reducing them even more to their essence. He is a luminary in production who worked with CAN in the 70s and 80s in Cologne and I am happy to have worked with him.
