HANS! - Up Is The Only Way Out

Produced by Richie Smith
An anthem of self worth
You Gotta Know That You're Enough
Vs.1
You start with a plan, trying to get that gold
Buying this illusion from the fools who lead the fold
With everything you see just pointing to that dream
Of a land of milk and honey on a hill of rolling green
And all these lies that are spoken just make us feel broken
Becoming our own enemy

Chorus
You gotta know that you're enough
You gotta know that you're enough
We're all diamonds in the rough, so take the hand of love
God knows that you're enough, God knows that you're enough

Vs.2
We're all begging for attention, but we never get our fill
It gets easier pretending, depending on a bitter pill
To escape these golden dreams and the passions of our youth
But you cannot stand for something when you're running from the truth
And all these lies that are spoken just make us feel broken
Becoming our own. enemy

Chorus

Vs.3 
So you find yourself again in the lyrics of a song
After years of institutions trying to tell you you were wrong
The shackles fall away. Your soul begins to sing
Yeah they clamor ever louder but you cannot hear a thing

Chorus out

My Soul and My Song - Hans Eberbach - PC North/Rip Off Artist Sessions. A track from a six song session of live acoustic material shot and recorded for my youTube channel, 09/10/14
www.hansrocks.com

"My Soul And My Song" - by Hans Eberbach from the PC North Rip Off Artist Sessions

A song recorded with "Sweet Vine 1.5"
I just rediscovered it and I think it's stunningly beautiful. Ned Hammad was a master of textural weeping guitar work on this. Steve King's ghostly background vocals and gorgeous production work still makes me tear up a bit. Gary Frank Skaggs was legendary on this one, especially during the rag-timey bridge. 
The Paladin
Vs.1 
Please , oh please come quickly tonight
Darkness has begun to tread on me
Silence is not golden in a blacklight
Are you coming, oh baby are you coming?

I've been hanging on the end of a thread that's slowly wrapping itself around my neck
I have fallen past all absolutes
I'm helpless and I'm hopeless and I'm wreckless and alone
Are you coming, oh baby are you coming?
Now the night has fallen like a still life
This room has darkened like a bruise
And it all becomes a watercolor fading from my eyes
I lay in waiting for the Palladin to arrive

Solos

Well it's long past the dawn and the fire's out
the trees have opened up their arms for me
And I'm staring out the window at the dust that settled having never been trod upon
There is nothing, baby there is nothing

And it all becomes a watercolor fading from my eyes....
 

The Paladin

Four tracks pulled from a live solo acoustic set by Hans Eberbach at Ten22 in Old Sacramento, CA 9-19-15. This is a fun, loose set of songs. Often people are talking to me as I play and you will hear those pauses or exchanges. Enjoy these live performances warts and all. It's a glimpse into the off the cuff and intimate nature of these acoustic sets, performing up against the wall at a local restaurant, Ten22.
1. The Way You Look Tonight (Frank Sinatra)
2. Jolene (Ray Lamontagne)
3. Suit and Tie (Justin Timberlake)
4. Forget What You Know - Hans Eberbach

Can't Stop Loving U

I'm a singer-songwriter who began my career with alt-southern rock band Sweet Vine who signed to Sony/Columbia and released one self-titled album before touring for a year and then disbanding. These days I split my time as lead vocal for the ecstatic funk/soul/r&b meltdown Joy and Madness ( www.joyandmadness.com ) and HANS! and the HOT MESS a band with a more current sound (Cee-Lo, Beck, Amos Lee, John Mayer, etc.) that represents my CD "Up Is The Only Way Out" and my upcoming CD "Love and Change"
