(Strophe) 
Ich halte deine kühle Hand. 
Versuch' sie warm zu machen.
Du liegst so still - An dieser nackten Wand. 
Kannst nicht mehr mit mir lachen.

Das Neonlicht - So grell, so kalt.
Das leise Ticken füllt den Raum.
Dein Atem klingt so schwach - So alt. 
Wie draußen dieser große Baum.


(Refrain)
Ach könnt’ ich nur ein letztes Mal. 
Deine Geschichten nochmal hören.
Von Liebe, Krieg - Mir ganz egal. 
Nur deine Nähe spüren.

Doch nun verglüht dein Lebenslicht. 
Mir bleibt nur, deine Hand zu halten.
Die Uhr verstummt, das Glas zerbricht.
Umkreist von dunklen Schatten.


(Strophe)
Die Tränen brennen - Salzig, schwer. 
Die Freude längst verschwunden.
Das Ende ruft - Die Augen leer. 
Uns bleiben nur Sekunden.

Ein leises Wort - Stilles Gebet.
Ich spür', wie du entgleitest.
Das Ticken schweigt - Die Uhr nun steht. 
Nie mehr du mich begleitest.


(Refrain) 
Ach könnt’ ich nur ein letztes Mal. 
Deine Geschichten nochmal hören.
Von Liebe, Krieg - Mir ganz egal. 
Nur deine Nähe spüren.

Doch nun verglüht dein Lebenslicht. 
Mir bleibt nur, deine Hand zu halten.
Die Uhr verstummt, das Glas zerbricht.
Umkreist von dunklen Schatten.


(Strophe) 
Die Schatten wandern still vorbei. 
Der Morgen naht - Doch ohne dich.
Ein letzter Blick - Nun bist du frei. 
Darfst endlich gehen - Nur ohne mich.

Noch lange halt’ ich deine Hand. 
Wenn alles still und leise.
Geleite dich ins nächste Land.
Auf deiner letzten Reise.


(Refrain) 
Ach könnt’ ich nur ein letztes Mal. 
Deine Geschichten nochmal hören.
Von Liebe, Krieg - Mir ganz egal. 
Nur deine Nähe spüren.

Doch nun verglüht dein Lebenslicht. 
Mir bleibt nur, deine Hand zu halten.
Die Uhr verstummt, das Glas zerbricht.
Umkreist von dunklen Schatten.


(Strophe) 
Die Zeit verrinnt - Die Trauer weicht. 
Doch deine Stimme klingt noch immer.
Beim Schreiben dieser Zeilen hier.
In diesem dunklen Zimmer.

Play Dead

Once invited in by his catchy guitar style, hit by his unique voice, you will soon recognize that that this guy is not messing around. Timo Brandt never sounds like he's trying to write a hit, but his songs won't get out of your mind quickly.

Timo's new album „Grounded“ is out now. It is a collection of ten songs that were given enough time to grow and develop. Timo, playing guitar and piano on the record, is joined by some great guest musicians including; UK/German Duo of Archer und Tripp on Clarinet and Percussion; his Dutch friend Ardie van der Knijff aka „Paper Branches“ delivered some amazing cello tunes; as well as German singer „Rina“, who created some beautiful female backing vocals. This album revolves in it's very own sphere that takes you from one song to another.

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

📝 Lyrics:

This tale moves quickly in the night
It drags all the dirt I've left behind
These steps they are small and unprepared 
For the remnants of a thought
Once past and now long since forgot 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear 

It seems like forever and more
But it's closer than you have ever known
As I pull away the floor beneath my feat
I am broken at the seems 
So I'll stay and take all that I need 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear

📝 Lyrics:

So many roads to follow
So many rivers to seek
So many mountains and bays 
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me 

So many trails to step upon 
So many peaks to reach 
So many colours and coves
Tiny islands to roam
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 
Come runaway with me 

Too much time stuck in the city 
Too many days lots to a screen 
Subways and trains
Tall buildings and cranes
Gone drive a man insane

For i need a week out in the woodland 
With a lantern and kerosene
Pines cones and sparks
September dark 
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 

And i've been thinking
This town ain't where we both should be 
And iv'e been wandering
If you'll wander round this world with me

And i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees
And Sunset over lake louise 
And of you wandering this world with me 
Come runaway with me 

So many roads to follow
So many river to seek
So many mountains and bays
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me

Abel Hawnt - Lake Louise (with lyrics)

Timo Brandt is a singer songwriter from Dingden, a small village in Germany. Whilst growing up in the 90s with Bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins, there was never much of an option, other than writing songs in English. People compare his music with artists like Passenger, Damien Rice, David Gray or Ben Howard. However, staying away from love songs, he aims at more of a spiritual intention, seeking true life between the daily hurries, god and some kind of sense in everything.
