NOT EVERYTHING FINISHES

June2019

July 2019

We are happy to announce that our first EP is available, starting August 1st.

After many years of planing, writing music, recording, re-recording, trials and improving, learning more and more about home recording, after involving friends and musicians from the USA, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark, we are proud to present the first Blue Return EP „Idealism“, recorded in Oberhausen, Essen, Eindhoven, New York, Copenhagen and Daegu. Blessed and happy!!

Our first EP with 9 charming tracks will be out in online stores and streaming services from August 1st.

It will then also be available via Amazon marketplace as an „offline CD“ for those old enough who still remember what that is (and who still might have a CD player in the attic).

Kittenhead's second album, a selection highlighting the band as it settles into a songwriting standard, showing all the colors of their palette.

Anyway

First track of a new album where I'll try to be more eclectic, with closer approach to some genres. Experimented on this one over-editing vocal line on the left, and getting midi files out of organic guitar melodies, which I could play with virtual instruments. I hope you'll enjoy a different Ruizzoid shape.

Dedicated to Germán Coppini’s ‘Golpes Bajos’, one of my favorite groups of the Spanish ‘Nueva Ola’.

Lyrics (original/translated):

NO TODO ACABA (JUGUETES ROTOS)  /  NOT EVERYTHING ENDS (BROKEN TOYS)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hay cosas en la vida que no cambian nada.  /  there are things in life which don’t change at all.
Hazme pensar que no estás gastada,  /  Make me think that you are not worn,
que el paso de los años no te cambió nada.  /  that the passing years didn’t change you at all.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Juguetes rotos, muñecas olvidadas,  /  Broken toys, forgotten dolls,
la imagen de mi espejo parece cansada.  /  the image from my mirror seems to be tired.
La voz de la noche ya no me llama,  /  The voice of the night doesn’t call me anymore,
me  resisto a pensar que todo se acaba.  /  I refuse to think that everything ends.

Hazme pensar que lo nuestro no acaba  /  Make me think that our thing doesn’t end
cuando despierte por la mañana.  /  when I wake up in the morning.
Hazme pensar en ti con calma,  /  Make me think about you calmly,
hazme creer que te tengo amarrada.  /  make me think that I get you tied up.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hazme creer que aún estoy en casa,  /  make me think that I’m still at home,
hazme pensar que duermo entre sábanas,   /  make me think that I sleep between sheets,
hazme pensar que nada cambia.  /  make me think that nothing changes.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Our first single!!
A piano based breakeup song from the up coming debut EP, recorded in Germany (Oberhausen, Essen), The Netherlands (Eindhoven), and South-Korea (Daegu).
The song can be bought at www.bluereturn.bandcamp.de

Everything we ever did was right
We don't have to fight
We can say good night

I can change the channels as I like 
Still I can't sleep at night
But I guess that that's alright

And everything I say
Is lost the other day
And I don't even mind
And I don't even mind

And everything I do
Is not good enough for you
And I don't even mind
And I don't even mind

Remember when it used to be alright
To wake me up at night
And we walked down the aisle

We did cross the bridge you hold me tight
And you said that's alright
And we should never fight

And all the words I say 
Are lost the other day
And I don't even mind now
And I don't even mind

And all the things I do
Are never good enough for you
And I guess that that's alright now 
And I guess that I don't mind

And all the things I do
Are never good enough for you
And I guess that I don't mind now
And I don't even mind

I can be the bad guy if you like 
I guess that that's alright
I guess that I don't mind

Everything you ever did was right
We don't have to fight
We can say good night

Street dog say 
Don't you agree
Life has ben good so far

Time to grab your coat and
Find your way home
The radio in my car

Talks about the
Good and the bad news
Sings you can count on me
I wish it'd be true about us, too

People get up
People are busy
People go back to sleep

Don't look back
You don't need the past
And over again 
You failed to do what's right
Come in second best

And it's alright with me
If it makes you happy
And it's alright with me
Baby it's alright

Future plans didn't make sense
Still we're doing great, my friend
People get up
People are lazy
People don't understand

Don't look back
No one needs the past
Over again 
You failed to do what's right
Come in second best

And it's alright with me
If it makes you happy
And it's alright with me
Baby it's alright

And it's alright with me
Baby it's alright

Alright With Me

Our 4th Song for our upcoming debut album! Just following the stars!

Lyrics:

Where are we going?
Suitcase in hand
There ain't no destiny
No promised land
And it just breaks your heart
To leave it all behind

What is the way from here
Suitcase in hand
Just what you leave it all for
No one understands
And it just breaks your heart
Not knowing what you'll find

I rest my mind 
Just following the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

The words you gave to me
Is all I have
But you can have faith in me
I will be brave
And it just makes you wonder
Where do we belong?

I rest my mind 
Just looking the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

I rest my mind 
Just trusting in the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

The words you gave to me
Is all I have
But you can have faith in me
I will be brave
And it just makes you wonder
Where do we belong?

Where are we going
Suitcase in hand
We follow ancient tales of
The promised land

And there's just no choice
You gotta move along

Another demo for our upcoming debut. We love the flow of this song! Let us know what you think! We hope you enjoy it! Keep on making good music!

The stars are shining bright tonight
Let them shine
The moon has never looked so kind
I don't mind

We don't need the starlight
Escaping from the past
We leave the town at last

The ocean looked the same back then
I don't mind
The radio plays our song again
All the time
And we can build a future
Escaping from the past
We're coming home at last

And if you still care for me
Then I will be around
And if you take care of me
then I will stick around
then I will stick around

And I can be alone tonight
I don't mind
The stars have never been so bright
Let them shine

The words that build our future
Can cover up the past
we leave it all at last

And if you still care for me
You know where I'll be found
And I will take care of you
Just you stick around
Just you stick around

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

Hawk Hill

A light-hearted Buzzcocks / The Clash / Squeeze influenced post punk song about a young guy eventually plucking up courage to ask a girl for a date.

Remastered Version: (Sept 2024)

'She Said Yes!' - April 2019

Well I like to make up rhymes
I do it all the time
And this one's for you.
 
And I'm going to sing it now
and make it loud and proud
because I like you.

You're such a pretty thing
Just like a diamond ring
I don't want to lose.

I see you all the time
You're always on my mind
I can't ignore you. 

Well I might call over right now
[might call over, when will you be mine?]
and ask you right up front
When will you be mine?
   
And I hope you'll tell me straight
[hope you'll tell me and that you'll see me] 
that I'm not too late   
and that you'll see me  

You're such a pretty thing
I'll give you everything
There's no time to lose

I see you all the time 
You're always on my mind
I can't ignore you

So I'll wander over to you
to see what you would do
and just say 'how'd you do'

No, I'll wait until it gets late   
and then I'll bring my mate  
and we'll ask her friend along too!
 
Hey, it didn't go well today
[It didn't go well so this time I'll call you]
So I'll try again Tuesday
and this time I'll call you

[This time I'll call you]

So we'll drop your cheeky mate
[Drop your cheeky mate out of the blue]
When I asked you for a date
Out of the blue  

You're such a pretty thing
Just like a diamond ring
I don't want to lose.

I see you all the time
You're always on my mind
I can't ignore you. 

Just say Yes, Yes ....

She said Yes!

I'll Try 'Till I Die

She Said Yes!

Dreams will be dreams, and times must be waisted.... Another song for our upcoming debut that we just finished -originally written for a piano, but it turned out so much better giving the acoustic guitar the lead.  Give it a listen, and let us know what you think! Happy to be a part of the Soundcloud community and to discover so much talent!! Keep creating great music!

Days and days
Are passing by
We go in circles again
All of our lives

Hundred places
And hundred nights
We've braved the town again
Every time 

And if you don't mind
Would you be so kind
And stay close to me

And if you don't mind
And if you think that it's alright
Then I will agree

Dreams will be dreams
Time must be waisted
Until in the end
It doesn't matter if we are lost my friend

Days and days
I'm by your side
I cannot leave you here
Just like that

And the people that live around here
They don't know what love is
They just stick to their ambitions
To be the first ones on the subway

And if you don't mind
Would you be so kind
And just let them win

And if you know a better way
To waste the the morning, waste the day
You can count me in

Dreams will be dreams
Time must be wasted
Until one fine day
We stop to find we never went astray

Lyrics
Here comes the noise again
it's creeping in my head
reminding me
of all the things you said


In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

Stood on the great wall again
chasing dreams in my  head
spell bound
by the girl in red

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
when the time is right
it's a chance for
you and me

reached out my hand again
feel the steel in your veins
driven on 
by a burning flame

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
you can see
right through everything
through you 
and me
you and me

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
when the time is right
it's a chance for
me and you

The reflected light

lyrics:
now my brains
full of trash
it will crash.
grab your cash
cut the grass
till you pass.

cause everyone goes
some cannot wait
i have seen 
everything
i have said
all i have to say. 

wheres my soul?
dug a hole
years ago. 
bring it back
fuck the facts
feel its lack. 

cause everyones sad
some dont know why
i have seen 
everything
i have tried all i could try. 

maybe you’ll feel high all day.
maybe there’ll be hell to pay
maybe its just black
i’d be good with that.

Love is Free

I had a dream
and in my dream she came and told me
not to worry
She said that everything be fine
and when I woke
Then I remembered of a girl who used to love me
from another place in time

and she said
let the sunshine from your soul
you got to loose control
let the truth come from your heart
you can make a brand new start
let the spirit run wild and free
There’s no other way to be
No other way to be.

Give love , see love, feel love, be love
All love All love is free
Give love , see love, feel love, be love
All love All love is free 
Love is free

I have a dream 
my father told me he’d be standing there beside me
when I faced my darkest day
I felt him there
I felt his hand upon my sholder as he guided me
showing me the way

He said
let the sunshine from your soul
you got to loose control
let the truth come from your heart
you can make a brand new start
let the spirit run wild and free
There’s no other way to be
No other way to be.

Give love , see love, feel love, be love
All love All love is free
Give love , see love, feel love, be love
All love All love is free 
Love is free

Concede Defeat

words and music K. Gennery
Ickle felt Betty & Dave (supercats) made by my dear friend and fellow cloudie Nic Evennett

Go to sleep my little man for its nearly over,
soon you'll have to leave, me.
Rest your weary head on my trembling hand,
I can feel you breathe for the last time, soon you will be free,
chasing butterflies way beyond the stars.

The grass grows tall where your'e going and the sun it always shines.
You can stretch out just like supercat, catch some rays and watch the ducks glide on by.
Someday we will be there by your side, till then wait patiently.

Rest in peace my baby boo soon your pain will cease to be
 then work it's way into me.
Pull my flesh apart cut deep inside my heart.

Go be with your brother now, where the sun it always shines.
You can stretch out just like supercats catch some rays and watch the ducks glide on by.
It's safe there no need for you to hide, cause soon I will be there by your side.
Till then wait patiently.
I'll be counting the weeks, months and years, till I see you again.
And hold you in my arms.

He's got the cure in his hands
For love, For Hate, and Disease...

Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?

He's a mystery man
He's got the numbers in his hands
For Life, For you and me....

Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?
