Grass has grown over the cities / And peace has grown over the sins / A smile has grown over the sadness / Cause freckles cover her skin / The truth has grown over the speeches / That fade out alongside the days / And paint has grown over the buildings / Cause freckles cover her face / The sun will rise over the beaches / And light up the souls and the minds / And grass will grow over the cities / As long as these freckles are mine

Freckles

There’s times I’m on the road and there’s times I’m at home / There’s times when I’m nowhere at all / There’s times I am leaving the warmth of my ceiling that shelters my mind from my faults / There’s times when I feel that God’s making mistakes / Cause I always get stuck with these dogs / So I keep on leaving while they keep on staring at me / they don’t know that they’re wrong / Praised are those the fools / Will bark at in the night / Listen to them drool and howl / Deliver me from lies / And stories they have told / So their darkness / Won’t erase my soul / I gathered pictures and items and thoughts from each place now I’m sitting here under a tree / And I’m stuck in a puzzle and drowning in pieces, they can’t be compiled as should be / So I get up and I get on a train heading north, heading south, heading west, heading east / Now I’m still on the road and I’m chasing a dream knowing well / I might never find peace / Never find peace / Praised are those the fools / Will bark at in the night / Listen to them drool and howl / Deliver me from lies / And stories they have told / So their darkness / Won’t erase my soul / You’re lifting the weight / Of the world / Off of my eyelids

Roads

"Bleed Towards The Light", the first studio album by Hamburg-based Indie band Thank You George, was released in March 2016. It contains songs about traveling and songs about staying, songs about holding on to all things grey and songs about longing for the light. Its stories were compiled out of fragments and themes and lyrics and chords, all brought into the band by singer and songwriter Phil. He carried them home from his travels, from somewhere in between hostels and trains, hammocks and busses, exciting cities and gorgeous beaches.

Outro

Thank You George is a mix of minor chords and loop machines, of electronic spheres and walls of sound, of Folk and Indie, Rock and Pop. It is the band project originally build around a collection of songs and themes by guitarist, singer and songwriter Phil. His collaboration with bass player Ali and drummer Tobi marks the latest chapter in the band's history, turning it into the trio that it somehow always wanted to be. Together they keep on listening and playing, adjusting and improving, adding new ideas and songs and themes and sounds. Their music is glass-half-empty, it is profound and sad, plenty and splendid. It comes to live through waves and lyrics, its pushing silence and epic endings. They will enter the stage, plug in their instruments and have their sound fill the whole room. You will hear them play, your ears will hold your mind captive and their melodies will remain in your head. They will stick with you, keep you company, tuck you in. Just get cozy and listen. And when things get loud, stamp your feet and bang your head, hold up your arms and just get lost.

Thank You George
