LYRICS:
I WILL NOT LOSE
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

Dear future
Can you promise me an imperfect picture
A blurry world without a frame
Where you all treat the same
Don't lose this note
And assure there's no more hell but hope

I will not Lose
They will not Win

Dear dreams
You can carry me through darkness it seems
Keep the bubbles in the air
And assure all is fair
Don't let them pop
With your help I reach each mountaintop

I will not Lose
They will not Win


I Will Not Lose (Long Version)

Richard Kapp, born 1976, is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, living in the city of Vienna, Austria. He composes, sings and plays his very own quirky but touching music. Some say he sounds a bit like The Divine Comedy, others say Richard reminds them of Rufus Wainwright or Ben Folds.
After all, Richard thinks he sounds like Kapp. His music is always fresh and surprising and you never know what to expect. Living between sarcasm, melancholy and hope, he makes use of all kind of styles without forcing them to come together. He is brave enough to use quirky touches of Jazz, Classical Music fragments or Folk if he thinks that it supports the meaning more than pop can do. Actually, Richard does not give a damn about styles and categories at all.
