Everyday it’s hard in the city
Don’t you see the strung out broads
Looking for shine and poise
Despite the slimmest odds
But you gotta make a noise
Cause life is given but living is a choice

So you work all night
Riding the bus mid-town
The lights are always green 
Green, and you’re ready to sell out
In the darkness of your life
(not sure)
If morning will come around

So you’re anxious (anxious)
Waiting around for time
So you’re anxious (anxious)
Trying not to miss your prime
(trying trying trying not to miss your-)

Pride is a luxury you know (you know, you know)
If circumstances were less sweet
And the adults never provided
Your pain has no name
And your thoughts are divided 

So you’re anxious (anxious)
love never came your way
So you’re anxious (anxious)
If it did it never stayed

And baby I love you
But I want much more much more much more much more
Much more than house cars suburban life and stuff
I want to reach the sky and beyond
And I’m afraid if a lifetime is not enough

So I’m anxious
You say it makes me hard to love
So I’m anxious
Cause nothing is ever enough
No nothing is ever enough 
Mm mm mm nothing is ever-
Cause nothing, nothing is ever
enough

What It Takes

Jeff Buckley - Best of Me

Rose's Theme (The Straight Story)

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils

Made my body look like gold for you
Took a thousand dollar loan out for you
Woke up in the morning cooked up a feast for you
But you messed up baby
Messed up real bad
And my mother didn’t raise, no fool

Now it’s time to leave if you want I can pack your shit for you
Love is but a dream baby and I know you can find it too
Don’t even bother looking back cause we are Thru
So Thru baby so thru so thru
Maybe some day you’ll find somebody that loves you like I- that loves you like I do

But right here, this right here it’s over
Oh this long crazy road is done
Oh baby please don’t frown
These things happen
These things happen

It makes my blood boil to think how much I sacrificed for you
So many of my rules I bended and I twisted and I broke them for you
They say some men are dogs and you are proof
You’re so proof baby you’re proof you’re proof baby
Maybe some time in the future you’ll realize that you had a good thing
This was a good thing

But right now this is over
Oh this crazy road is done
I loved you but you took it for granted
And my mother didn’t raise 
Baby I ain’t
No fool
I ain’t no fool

And in the future I’ll always think of you
And I’m sure you’ll always cross my mind
And baby who am I kidding I’ll always love
And I’ll think of all the good times I’ll try
When I’m older I’ll reflect back on the good times we had
And baby maybe they’ll make me cry but

I’ll always love you and i want you to know that
But right now this right here needs to be over
