Lyrics:

The sky is changing
From indigo into blue
And I am changing too
For the first and the last time

The earth is trembling
And I am trembling too
It makes me feel alive
It’s the only thing I know

There’s a winding road behind me
A straight path ahead
Will you come with me
To the water’s edge

We’ll sink into the shoreline
And slowly disappear
Into it all

As it always was
As it really is

There’s a wildfire behind me
An orchard ahead
Will you come with me
And taste all of it

We’ll turn into magpies
And fly on the fiery wind
Above it all
As it is

There’s a winding road behind me
A straight path ahead
Will you come with me
To the water’s edge
We’ll dance for forever
And slowly disappear
Into it all

As it always was
As it really is

Into it all 
As it is

As It Is

LYRICS //

[VERSE 1]
They say it’s once in a lifetime
You only get one, so guess that I’m done for life
You’re doin’ just fine
I knew that you would, I bet she looks good tonight

[PRE-CHORUS]
Everybody knows you in the city
Every street is bringing back a memory
Wish I’d run into you accidentally
Still looking for your car, just kill me

[CHORUS]
By now I should be ok
That’s easy for you to say
What if i loved you
What if i loved you way too much
What if i love you
What if i love you way too much

[VERSE 2]
They say it’s one in a lifetime
But does it really count
If you were like never mind
And I’m being too nice
Droppin’ it all
Just to see you at night

[PRE-CHORUS]
Everybody knows you in this city
Every street is bringing back a memory
Calling you again I guess you’re busy
Still wishing you were here just kill me

[CHORUS]
By now I should be ok
That’s easy for you to say
What if i loved you
What if i loved you way too much
What if i love you
What if i love you way too much

[PRE-CHORUS]
Everybody knows you in the city
Every street is bringing back a memory
Wish I’d run into you accidentally
Still looking for your car, just kill me

[CHORUS]
By now I should be ok
That’s easy for you to say
What if i loved you
What if i loved you way too much
What if i love you
What if i love you way too much

What If I Love You (Stripped)

Kiera and I wrote this about living in a small country town and wanting to leave as sometimes it feels limiting or it feels like you're missing out on something. I actually left Margaret River in May and went to live in Sydney which wasn't the best timing. I had to drive back through the NT to get back to WA and ended up doing a full lap of Australia!

Lasse Matthiessen reinvents himself - from a singer-songwriter who could have happily followed in Nick Drake's footsteps, the Dane transforms into an organic electro-indie-pop act who, with his remarkable deep, knowing vocal, conjures up hyperrealistic moments of the human experience.

Lasse has demonstrated his great songwriting talent with his previous releases - while he wrote contemplative indie folk to perfection on his first albums and concentrated on reduced arrangements, he retired for the EP "When We Collided" from 2017 back to darker pop realms.

The single of the same name “When We Collided” from 2017 developed into a sophisticated underground hit: the song was streamed more than 900,000 times, was featured in the New Music Friday Germany & Switzerland playlists, and its electro-folky DNA was considered Lasse Matthiessens from then on signature sound.

In 2021 he took a first step towards transforming to the more electronic, darker side. With the EP "Coordinates Remain" Lasse Matthiessen discovered a new keyboard of the sound landscape for himself: powerful, filtering basses create an atmosphere as if you were dancing empty and still high from the emotions of the night in front of a Berlin club on the steps, while the sun rises. The move from acoustic guitar to sophisticated synthpop began.

With his upcoming new album ’Dreams’, slated for a winter 2022 release, he deliberately crosses the border to electronica with complete assurance. He composes shimmering indie pop with organic synths, electronic beats and velvety basses that lives and dances in the nocturnal streets of Europe.

Lasse Matthiessen is Danish, lives in Berlin and has toured almost everywhere in Europe. He has performed at various festivals and played as support for Clueso, Anna Calvi, Glen Hansard and Suzanne Vega.
