In the summer of 2013, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London's famous Porchester Hall which formed the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album. The album was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

"The acoustic project is a reconnection with the musicians that we were before we met", said Above & Beyond's Tony McGuinness. "The songs have been on an interesting journey to get here because we tend to write in a fairly acoustic way anyway. We don't just stick a bit of vocal over a dance track - that's not how we work. We try to start with a song and it's usually only later down the line that we take certain elements from that song and progress them into a more dancefloor-friendly version".

With Above & Beyond "Acoustic", the group are putting aside their CDJs and lighting rigs to showcase their deeply-rooted musicianship and classical training. A band first and foremost, Above & Beyond are songwriters as much as they are DJs. Working with three singers, a string quartet, harpist, drummer and bassist, Above & Beyond are pushing the boundaries of dance music. Tony McGuinness sings and plays guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Paavo Siljamäki plays the grand piano and cello, and Jono Grant plays the Rhodes piano, guitar and vibraphone.

''Kat Frankie spent her youth in the sunburnt suburbs of Sydney, scribing countless songs in her parents' sweltering attic. She moved to Berlin in December 2004, where she is known for her passionate, dynamic and riveting live shows. Kat performs both solo and with band; both incarnations feature powerful arrangements that give space to her incredible voice; reaching from tender, sparse melancholy to dramatic, soaring aggression.
Kat's debut album, "Pocketknife" was released in Australia in September 2007, and in Germany January 2008, and has been highly praised in both countries. Kat has also released an EP titled "outside.now." and appears on several independent compilations from Australia and Germany.
Kat also features in BerlinSong, a music documentary made by Uli Schueppel about songwriters in Berlin. The film was selected to premiere at the 2007 Berlinale Film Festival.

Lyrics : 
she met you in the driveway it was so warm
and the neighbours still complaining about the heat
then she fell in your way, she broke down and said
I feel loved
but people, will tell you where to go
I don't know why their revelations bore me, I know I
won't go outside
but right there like a rabbit in the yard I'm aware of 
the predators this city conceals, I
know by
their eyes

but charlie, don't jump
stay in this world

you lay down in hallway it was so wide
like a slow dance with the carpet, cheek to cheek
and sensing with the feel and only known to you
higher ground
but people will tell you where to go, I don't know why
they clutch their faith as their only defense against the void
and right there like a rabbit in the yard I'm aware of
the predators this city conceals I
know by their eyes

but Charlie don't jump, stay in this world
charlie don't jump, there's so much to live for
Charlie don't jump, a lovers coming soon
Charlie don't jump, there's someone who needs you

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be                                                                        Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
No, I can't help falling in love with you
