Mike Rauss - Tenerife (Live in Tenerife)

A compostion for a short film by Joseph Akwasi. 

Mike Rauss - One hot day in efferen

standing in a field of flowers
I enjoy them without desire
but I’m guessing with flowers you refer to the beauty surrounding me
and I think to myself
it’s hard to see the way with all these flowers

each with its own charm and colour
No one like the other
some need love and affection
and some in less need of connection

and one special flower is deep in reflection
and in search of her direction
to this flower I give most of my attention
a beautiful flower of dark complexion

standing in a field of flowers
I interpret what they convey
and I know that with flowers you refer to the women surrounding me
and I think to myself
it’s hard to see the way with all these flowers

and even if I don’t commit
I knew we love one another
and I know that this is hard for her
but that’s what right now I can offer

and one special flower is deep in reflection
and in search of her direction
to this flower I gave most of my attention
a beautiful flower of dark complexion

Mike Rauss - Simplicity (Live)

Original Song by Mike Rauss and @patrickluwak 
We used a North African Gimbri, and the Armenian Duduk in the recording process. It’s the 2nd song that Mike wrote in Hebrew, and came from a feeling that words often make things more complicated than necessary. “Lehava” means “Flame” in Hebrew and is the follow up single to our first release “Bamaga”. 
To make it even more crunchy, there’s a downbeat remix by @mauglimau who’s music has already moved many booties around the world.

Patrick Luwak - Duduk, Percussion, Energy Balls, Bavarian Rap skills

Blurred Into One

As I write these words 
Sitting in the sky above pink colours
On my way to Amsterdam
I feel like a lucky man 
This flight delay only makes me miss you more 
Below me I can see the isles of Greece and Crete where we could be low budget royalty

Since this airline won’t even give me a meal let alone a refund to finance our low budget dream
We can start with that sweet petaytay 
That you got for my birthday 
You’re such a kind and sweet pizote

Queen of the deers you are
And queen of My Heart 
Lola Lola Lola  

From the willow tree in the summer to the desert in the winter
You’re lovely like a lush mountain stream
From the willow tree in the summer to the desert in the winter
I’m glad that we’re becoming a team

Queen of the deers you are
And queen of My Heart 
Lola Lola Lola

Let’s go to a vegan zoo, I’ll be your boo
You can be my raccoon 
And it seems in love with you

Mike Rauss - By Your Side ft. Eire Luna (Studio Version)

A song we wrote about our upcoming Travels in the big wide world.

Lyrics:
It all started with a dream, and how funny it may seem it will come real 
We're leaving home with empty bags but by the time that we come back they will be packed 
and if we open up and look inside we'll find the stories that we left behind 

and so our hearts wide open to the ones who give their love to me 
and my appreciation to the ones who do it everyday 

we'll settle down in the next best town and sing about the past days on the road 
endless roads and never ending fields of green is what we saw 

and so our hearts wide open to the ones who give their love to me 
and my appreciation to the ones who do it everyday

Mike Rauss - Alma (feat. Mariana Root)

This new year I start with honesty
Cause I know it's what I need
In this new year 
your mind your heart and honesty is what I breathe

Finding myself unsure of the balance between us 
And I don't wanna tip the scales by seeming dependent 
It's a pull and then release
I feel caught between honesty and playing it cool
But I know that playing it cool is for fools
And this bond is more than silly games
Cause with you I feel at home
You little pancake 
Dragon queen from Avalon
And Dolphin Scrunch
When I'm with you it feels like home
It feels like 
When I'm with you it feels like home
It feels like home
