Sometimes we just wanna live under water and swim with the whales…don’t you?
May we introduce you to the Whale Song? 

Valeska Rautenberg from Berlin and Alpha Minus from Istanbul got together to create a song whose elements are longing, waves, modern synth sounds and trip hop beats. Haunting vocals meet a sound that brings to mind artists like Trentemoeller and the vastness of the water…

Whale song  

Since that day I cried so badly over this world
I've been gone with the waves
They would love me, this sad girl

Since that day I mourned so badly over you
I've talked to the whales, they would listen
And take me into their deep blue

Underwater home
Underwater is my home now
Underwater is my home
It feels like me, it feels like me, it feels like I am flying

So I became the child of the water
The sister of sleep
Yes, I would sing a lullaby and then I'd howl and weep
When I’d sigh my sweet goodbye to this world
Now is the time for me to say goodbye
Such a happy girl

Underwater home
Underwater is my home now
Underwater is my home
It feels like me, it feels like me, it feels like I am flying

You keep me warm
You keep me unharmed   
Would you love me

Wherever I go

Underwater love
Underwater home
Underwater 
Under water love

Here’s a piece of me for you: "Midnight Children" 
For all the night addicts and over-thinkers, the introverts, and the melancholy lovers ... for the sensitive ones, the moon howlers, the seekers and believers. 
For all the sweet, sweet children of the night…enjoy :-) 
Love,
Valeska

Lyrics:

Midnight Children

We're all ugly and we're all beautiful
You better leave it on the inside for no one to see  
We’re called the midnight children 
Your truth is the echo of mine

We're all special and we are not
We're all nothing and we like to play God
We’re everything and we’re not

Oh I’ll be running from you, babe
And you’ll be running, too
So here I start an end and end the start again

What does it take 
To make you see the ugly
And the beautiful in the ugly inside of you
Oh you mistake the loss for fun
Oh you leave nothing undone
Tell me what does it take to make you run

We're all special and we are not
We're all nothing and we like to play God
We’re everything and we’re not
Oh I’ll be running from you, babe
And I’ll be running to my midnight children
I love the blue

Tears of time, I lick them dry and make their salt fertile

Midnight Children

For the quiet moments, the introspection, the reminiscence.
Come take a walk with me into the vastness.

Written, recorded and performed by Valeska Rautenberg

An ethereal, sombre piano/vocal piece that invites you to pause and remember all that has been with a bittersweet melancholy.

‚All Is Forgotten‘ is the second single from Berlin indie musician Valeska Rautenberg’s ‚Aerial Minds‘ EP. It turns to a more classic songwriting approach by employing simplicity and piano sounds, whereas the first single ‚Midnight Children‘ (smarturl.it/5vrgc7 ) is a dark, ambient downbeat piece. Both singles explore the EP’s main theme, the element air, capturing the intangible and ethereal in their own very unique ways.

All Is Forgotten
© Valeska Rautenberg

Like a sleeping giant
I reside in my mind
108 steps away from what I need

I toss and turn and I
wonder why my eyes are blind
108 steps away from what I need to find

I wanna fall into a hundred year long sleep
Listen to the silence in my head
To find my 108 steps in my dreams

All is forgotten
All is dead
All is forgotten
All is a wave
All is forgotten
All is saved
Love me to pieces
So I resurrect

Like a sleeping giant
I open my mouth to see
108 steps away from what I need

I toss and turn and I
Wonder why I have two feet
108 steps away from what I need to find

I wanna fall into 
A hundred year long day
Listen to the silence in my head
History repeats itself! Hooray! Hooray!
Listen to the wisdom of the dead

All is forgotten
All is dead
All is forgotten
All is a wave
All is forgotten
All is saved
Love me to pieces
So I resurrect
