stonertom I love the band. This album is great. Every tune is great. Bought the last CD Feel too years ago at an art fair. That guy is a great songwriter! Favorite track: My Darling One.

GRIP lyrics You’ve got a grip on me like a jealous girlfriend You’ve got a hold of me that’ll last til the end You’ve got me wanting you always more and more and more You’ve got the whole of me down to the core You’ve got a hold of me that is making me sick And I try to let go but it ain’t easy to kick You’ve got a grip on me and I just can’t escape I’m locked away in another land somewhere deep in the shade Chorus… And you can’t give me what I need anymore And nothing feels the way it did before I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more I’ve got that constant need to score I shine a light blow the smoke into the moonlit night I walk And talk about my love for the sun and how it reminds me of my mom Youth is further away now than hell to burn I’m coming closer to the point of no return Chorus… And you can’t give me what I need anymore And nothing feels the way it did before I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more I’ve got that constant need to score I’m getting harder I’m turning to steel The life I’ve been living has lost its feel I’m getting harder I’m turning to stone The time of promises is long gone Chorus… And you can’t give me what I need anymore And nothing feels the way it did before I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more I’ve got that constant need to score I have an addiction like you have a religion That will follow me til the end my friend The time of promises is long gone, yea The time of promises is long gone Words and Music  Oliver Fauser 2006/2021

GRACE lyrics The old way of living Was easy to let go All the things you ever wanted I always wanted them too Graceful woman I know who you are And you know I will go with you No matter how far Chorus… Just in the nick of time Everything was changing I’m enjoying it oh so much All the love and such… I know about trouble And I know about pain But that’s all over now The song isn’t the same No excuses Light is the time I will honor the day we met Til the end of mine Chorus… Just in the nick of time Everything was changing I’m enjoying it oh so much All the love and such… I’m a believer I believe in you Freedom is, moments like this Bit by bit by bit These are wonderful times And it sure feels so right Let’s do some loving honey Before we die - forever tied Chorus… Just in the nick of time Everything was changing I’m enjoying it oh so much All the love and such Just in the nick of time Everything was changing Wherever this may take me I’ll be right by your side © Words and Music by Oliver Fauser 2022

NEVER LET GO lyrics You were the cool one You were the queen A mastress of words The prettiest girl I’ve ever seen And we were good together We had our fun We were so special We were full of charm Chorus:.. And now those days are so long gone But our love still lingers on We’ve been down in the gutter and high above And we’re still in love Yeah… Some things about you girl Remain a mystery to me We tried our best When we set us free There are so many things You’ve given me Not a life in a bubble But you knocked some sense into me Chorus… And now those days are so long gone But our love still lingers on We’ve been down in the gutter and high above And we’re still in love Yeah… I'm glad it's you and me I guess we're meant to be Be free…with me… Words and Music © Oliver Fauser 2022

FAB lyrics The laughter is gone, it’s always quiet now We don’t really talk anymore And if we do, it’s all about nothing I don’t know my place anymore Yeah, we failed, we had too high expectations And we didn’t meet in the middle at all It’s so sad to see ‘us’ wasting away So now we got our closing call Chorus… You and I were fab For a little while For all the right reasons Even now, it makes me smile We used to talk to talk for hours, we used to laugh and dance Now we’re just living side by side I was happier alone then I’m with you now It’s as sad as it sounds Chorus… You and I were fab For a little while For all the right reasons Even now, it makes me smile Bridge… Yeah we both know, this is just the way it is We were trying our best but it couldn’t go on like this Love takes turns and there’s nothing you can do It’s always sad when a love is through Chorus… You and I are dead We were running out of time You and I were fab But we were running out of time You and I were fab You and I are dead You and I were fab Now you and I are dead © Words and Music...Oliver Fauser 2016/2021

about

I started working on this album, when the covid pandemic started. I had just moved to a little mountain village in the Black Forest when the world changed for a while. I have always been writing songs but the last years before covid I was very involved in the art scene and had a lot of exhibitions, but I kinda got bored with it. So, the pandemic was a great change for me, because the art scene stood still and so did the world. And new music came alive. And this album...
