addictive piano. love the vocals. really well done, with a vintage sound

What if you lose your language(s)?
There are parts in the song where different vocals appear at the same time which makes it harder to understand. This is intended. After all the song is about aphasia.

The Aphasic
In this damned town I always walk around
searching for the sign I will never find
cannot give up, cannot go on
I feel eternity, feel it right in front of me

I can’t hear what they say/ the same
express it my own way/ every day
what they don’t understand/ can’t find
they try but they can’t/ the words to say
words slipping through my grasp/the thoughts swirl inside your mind
though I try to clasp/but the words just unwind
the words are in the past/the words out of grasp
they can never last/caught in your mind’s trap
I see it in your eyes/the thoughts…
my words a big surprise/but the words…
it’s all in my mind/the words…
I write a few lines/caught in…
but I can’t understand the sings of my own hand

can’t read a single line, can’t read a single sign
the words don’t reach you, though they try to teach you

I’m caught somewhere in my mind, can’t cross the borderline
I’m lonely in a crowd, and I can’t get out
there’s darkness in the light/the same
and light in the dark night/every day
I’ll get along with it/can’t find 
‘cause I’m too strong for it/the words to say
I’m lost in my speech/ the thoughts swirl inside your mind
the words are out of reach/ but the words just unwind
I would like to break free/ the words out of grasp
hope I can find the key/ caught in mind’s trap
some words cross my way/the thoughts…
but they will never stay/but the words…
the words don’t make sense/ the words out of grasp
out of reach, behind the fence/ caught in mind’s trap
I’ll find a way to shine/ the thoughts…
you’ll see that I’ll be fine/ but the words…
I will find my voice/the words…
it will be more than noise/caught in…
you’ll see it’s not in vain, I’ll find my own refrain

can’t read a single line, can’t read a single sign
the words don’t reach you, though they try to teach you

The Aphasic

All songs are composed for and first played with real instruments. However sometimes, we use several vst instruments to improve the sound.  We experiment with electronic/EDM sounds and effects, alienate natural instrument, sometimes make it sound more electronic.
We are the rest of a musician group, quite a few years ago (at school), actually instrumentalists, 2 female, one of them piano, oboe, the other piano, clarinet, 1 male, all kinds of guitar, also bass and ukulele. The other two are unfortunately missing now (1 female who was our main singer (bad luck, so we have only us - background singers) and violin and 1 male, also guitars). Occasionally there is a real electric guitar or bass, but probably not recognizable as such. So now we sound quite different than before or, at least here...before starting here, our style contained different elements, folk, classical, pop-Rock, sometimes also Hard/Punk-Rock or Metal. When we play live, we still have that sound. We hope some people like our music here!
