lyrics 
Where I come from/ nobody's happy at all/ One child is born/ One child says Please, leave me alone/ Poor child I was/ So much love needs to be shown/ Suicidal thoughts in my head/ Suicide, it's ok/ You don't have much time/ You don't need wasting your time on me/ on you/ I remember those days when I hardly could speak/ I remember those days when I felt so weak/ "I used to love you", oh she said/but now it's over/ Little children grow in pain/ but now it's over

Grow In Pain

Felidae returns with a new album, Baby Someday. After an intensive period of touring and recording in Germany, the new release can be characterized as a melting pot of vintage rock sound and experimental oriental vibe, creating a coherent representation of Felidae's journey made so far.     
For Omer, a Jew in Berlin, playing with an international band (US, Italy, Turkey, Israel, Germany), it is key to maintain a firm understanding of the happenings throughout Europe and the world. His reaction to such current events can be found in "Barbaria" and "No Right To Remain Silent". 
This multi-kulti (the Berliner slang for a cultural mix) Rock production intertwines oriental vocal trills, psychedelic slide guitars, along with 70's analogue synths played on/over arabic scales. This mixture is pushed and prompted by punchy drums and driven bass. 
Other songs in the album, such as Still Burning, Baby Someday, Like A Movie Star, deal with the social and psychological changes  of our time, specifically the exhausting fight to succeed, where not becoming someone important is considered a failure. 
Influences from the soundtrack of his childhood, which includes New Wave bands such as The Smiths and The Cure, emotional tracks of the album, for example Indoor Trance, Laying On The Sky and Between The Legs. 
Baby Someday was recorded live in Lowswing Studios (Berlin) over the course of three days in April 2016. Over dubbing was recorded during the weeks following. Felidae will embark on a European release tour in November 2016.

At the backyard
All the people are moving to Neukölln
At the backyard 
hörst du alles, siehst du alles, mein Freund
Hier ist nicht dein Kiez
Niemals, nie werden wir zusammen sein

Aus den Fenstern starren Leute
Du bist young and free
Von den Rändern, den Autobahnen
Wie ein Schwarm überlaufen sie Berlin

You and I were never meant to be
Everybody knows it's history
Berlins Hinterhof ist wie ein Friedhof
Niemand kann entkommen

You feel you've just had enough 
Where's my good old life
Cause you see, that everywhere you may go 
It will never be your home 

All the people are moving to Neukölln 
All the people upgrading their iPhones 
All the people are blah blah blah blah blah blah


„Berlins Hinterhof ist wie ein Friedhof. Niemand kann entkommen“, lautet eine Liedzeile der druckvollen Rocknummer „At The Backyard“, gesungen auf Deutsch von dem Sänger Omer Lichtenstein. Für sich genommen ist dieser Verse evtl. noch nichts Besonderes. Aber Omer ist gleichzeitig auch ein Jude, der vor ein paar Jahren seinen Lebensmittelpunkt von Tel Aviv nach Berlin verlagert hat. Und vor diesem Hintergrund haben die Sätze gleich eine ganz andere Tragweite.
„At The Backyard“ ist tatsächlich eine Neubearbeitung einer älteren Version, in die nun deutsche Strophen Eingang gefunden haben. Omers Großmutter hat nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg ein paar Jahre in Berlin gelebt und er wandelt nun auf ihren Spuren. 
Damit ist er aber auch gleichzeitig Teil eines globalen Stroms so genannter Expats, die bevorzugt in städtischen Szenebezirken wie Berlin Neukölln wohnen wollen. Die kritische Betrachtung dieser internationalen Hordenbewegungen ist das vordergründige Thema des Songs.

Influenced by bands like The Cure, Arctic Monkeys, Nirvana, The Beatles and more, Felidae was founded by Omer Lichtenstein in 2011 in Tel Aviv. Later he joined Peter Walsh (Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel) to work in Germany on the EP of She Goes Away. Since then, Felidae has been based in Berlin and worked with producers such as Zare Pak (Siddharta) and Ralf Goldkind (Die Fantastischen Vier). In his songs, Omer deals with his personal life as well as social and political issues regarding, but not limited to, the Jewish people. In 2015, Felidae released two EP's, following tours in Germany, Israel and Italy. Some will notice an oriental flavor, while others will detect a touch of progressive in this Indie Rock - New Wave band.
