Never give up. Always get up. A song about  tenacity, ricilience in tough situations in life.

Striking Sparks

Feet, take one more step
you will get your rest
Time, hold one breath
your run can wait.

Pain, take your share
they can’t see you here
And make it fair
for what’s left of me is home.

Wind takes my eyes
and I can’t see how far I fall.
I may be hurt and torn but all
will burn before I bend.

Striking sparks
into the dusk.
And never was I good enough
but this is my fight.
The flames will rise
lit by tears in the night.
‘N keep the glow safe inside
until your soul breathes fire.

Cry, find right ears
the ones that can hear
Voice will sound
I’ll never miss a note.

Blaze, don’t die out
I need your warmth
Keep the dark light far
This is not the time.

Hope can’t take me home
and strength can’t break my fall.
Smoke burns my eyes
but I promise, the fire won’t die.

Striking sparks…

Moon, push back the clouds
I need you now
Ice, it’s time to melt
water will join the game.
Rise hands, please climb
I never threw the dice
Scream harder lungs
I’m tired to run.

Striking sparks…

04 Breaking The Statues

In the year 2007 a crazy idea (if there ever was an idea) sprung to begin a small music project regarding a certain guitarist's music diploma. With extremely critical and tough levels of expectation he recruited the keyboardist and bassist, informing them a drummer was also on his way.

Days grew long as the silent search for a vocalist and a second guitarist went on for its time. The task seemed to be as difficult as finding a drummer in an AA -meeting - until the spring of 2009. Hope bloomed as the original four members went out to meet their new vocalist, and happened so that during this fateful meeting the bassist figured to contact a guitarist friend.

After two years of vicious practice, gigs and massive giggling, a slow climate change took place in 2011. The Issues has always been blessed (by the gods of rock) to have such fun and maniac enough people as members, and since our first bassist followed her heart elsewhere, we were again lucky to find a new kind of personality to fulfill our band of rational escapists. Also, the very same year of 2011 Issues grew to be a rock band of seven people as we bumped into a cellist and decided to tie her down. We never regretted.
