Lieblingssongs Balad II 💙

A small taste of Above & Beyond's forthcoming album 'Acoustic II'. The trio will perform with a full band at some of the world's most iconic venues including London's Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House and LA's Hollywood Bowl. 

Above & Beyond are a phenomenon unlike any other in dance music. Grammy-nominated songwriters, they are the only British dance act to sell out Madison Square Garden as DJs, and yet are about to take an 18-piece band set up on a sold out tour of the world's most iconic concert halls: including London's Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House and Hollywood Bowl to name just three. 

A show described by Billboard as “one of the finest in dance music history”, the tour - and accompanying Acoustic II studio album - represents yet another against-the-odds landmark in the unique story of Above & Beyond. Venues that normally take years of hard touring to reach are sold out on only the band's second acoustic tour - you are left wondering: just how do they do it? 

The secret is in the songs. Sung back at them by thousands at their celebratory DJ sets, Above & Beyond's tales of life, love and loss have soundtracked weddings, proposals, hikes up Everest, marathons and funerals - stories which are tweeted and emailed in to A&B HQ each week. The lyrics have been plastered on festival signs, provided solace for fans in hard times and have been tattooed with pride by thousands of fans. 

Following last year's critically acclaimed electronic album, “We Are All We Need”, Above & Beyond Acoustic II revisits several of the best loved songs from that album and as well as classics from Above & Beyond’s wide back catalogue and reworks them for concert halls rather than clubs; breathing new life and context into them.

Under the supervision of musical director Bob Bradley, the legendary trio have reworked a total of 13 tracks into rich, string-laden band arrangements that reference Portishead, Angelo Badalamenti and movie soundtracks with a uniquely Above & Beyond idiosyncrasy. 

Reaching back into their individual musical histories, each member of Above & Beyond performs different parts of the arrangements, including Jono on Rhodes, Tony on guitar and vocals, and Paavo on grand piano. Celebrated A&B collaborator Zoë Johnston sings on re-imagined dancefloor anthems like “We're All We Need” and “Alchemy”, and is joined by a host of other contributing vocalists from Above & Beyond's past and present. Completing the ensemble, string quartets and percussion sections provide a big room feel of a completely different kind.

~ Lyrics

An hour in real time passes like a second on a broken clock.
I stay in bed all day just to realise that this’ll be the third on the trot.
I set the foundation for a life that I don’t know how to build.
And I take a step backwards and I fall down the same old hills.
I hope that you return to me, it’s mighty lonely on my own in the city.
I hope I find some better company, where theyre willing to be caring for my pity.
And I do not want to wake up to the shame, but I’m far to tired for these games.
We will bury this with all our memories, right beside the last love that took it all away.

(Pre Chorus)
Oh, as sweet as you were,
you turned out to be fools gold in the dark dirt.
You ripped through the house, whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground
Your words through the phone, forced the skin right off of my white bones.
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

(Chorus)
Our Tiny fires, I swear they’ll burn some day
I want them wild and in some place it never rains.
We belong, Deep inside the blaze,
just like we did back in our early days.

I move in straight lines and follow cats eyes beside the road.
I know directions but where they take me we’ll never know,
Please fire a flare so I know that you are out there,
Safe and sound, with a beacon over your head.
I hope that you are missing me, I feel it too when alone in the country
I miss the sirens and the song repeats, late nights that I wish I could remember
I’d do anything I can to make you stay, but your mind’s made you’ll leave anyway.
I sure hope your train's delayed, theres so much more I need to say.

Oh, as sweet as you were,
you turned out to be fools gold in the dark dirt.
You ripped through the house, whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground
Your words through the phone, forced the skin right off of my white bones.
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

Lyrics:
Will it be a pavement or a sidewalk,
When I finally lay my eyes on you,
Someone I’ve already loved
Or will you find your way out of the blue?

Will it be my flat or your apartment,
When I finally realise I do?
Will we meet on Baker Street,
Or find ourselves on Melrose Avenue?

I don’t know who you are,
But I’ll save you a seat,
Hang my coat on a chair next to me.
I tried to reassure the waiter,
Say you’re down the street,
He laughed at me,
So here’s to you,
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen.

Someone on a screen asked me a question,
Something about what love means to me,
Maybe it’s just circumstance or general compatibility.

I don’t know who you are,
But I’ll save you a seat,
Hang my coat on a chair next to me.
I tried to reassure the waiter,
Say you’re down the street,
He laughed at me,
So here’s to you,
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen.

Pull Me Back In
