“Until the Morning” by Octave Plateau is a sensual midnight reverie — a song where time slows, and every heartbeat becomes part of the rhythm. Blending smooth jazz warmth with soulful intimacy, it captures the quiet electricity of two lovers moving through the night, lost between desire and tenderness.

Elegant, romantic, and softly hypnotic, “Until the Morning” evokes that fleeting space between dusk and dawn — where the world disappears, and only connection remains.

Here are the lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The city hums — a velvet tune,
Soft reflections beneath the moon.
Your hand finds mine, the moment’s tight,
Two bodies moving, slow and right.

[Chorus]
Until the morning, we’ll hold on tight,
Drifting through shadows, lost in the night.
Until the morning, hearts intertwine,
Let’s make this rhythm yours and mine.

[Verse 2]
The clock may turn, but we don’t care,
Your breath is warmth on midnight air.
Your laughter glows — it draws me near,
A whispered song I long to hear.

[Chorus]
Until the morning, we’ll hold on tight,
Drifting through shadows, lost in the night.
Until the morning, hearts intertwine,
Let’s make this rhythm yours and mine.

[Bridge]
The world can fade, the night’s our flame,
We move as one, no need for names.
Each sigh, each glance, a sweet decree,
A tender pulse, in harmony.

[Final Chorus]
Until the morning, love’s burning bright,
Chasing the stars, no end in sight.
Until the morning, hearts intertwine,
Let’s keep the magic —
yours and mine.

Until the Morning

octave plateau – music by Gerhard Andreas Schreiber

Gerhard Andreas Schreiber. Since the 1980s,  composing and producing music under the name octave plateau. What began in the shadowed clubs of the post-punk era and the neon-lit pulse of the Neue Deutsche Welle has grown into a lifelong journey through diverse soundscapes and emotions.

Back then, working with artists like Markus, capturing the spirit of a generation in transition – between analog grit and melodic futurism. But the musical path didn’t stop there.

Today, octave plateau bridges four distinct yet emotionally intertwined genres:

Smooth Jazz – music like warm light on late-night streets; gentle grooves, atmospheric chords, and melodies that breathe and linger. It’s the sound of reflection and release, crafted with subtlety and soul.

New Wave – shimmering synths, melancholic harmonies, and rhythm-driven storytelling. A style rooted in the 80s, but constantly reinterpreted to reflect the tension and beauty of the now.

Deutscher Schlager – emotional, melodic, and lyrical. I approach this genre with both respect and reinvention – drawing from its traditions while reshaping its form for contemporary ears.

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) – raw, ironic, and rhythmic. NDW has always been the rebellious heart of octave plateau, combining German lyrics with electronic textures, punk aesthetics, and a dose of playful absurdity.

In 2024, these songs – some newly written, others rediscovered and reimagined – are being produced in the octave plateau studio in Berlin. Here, the past and the present meet in harmony and friction. Analog synthesizers hum alongside digital clarity. Stories unfold in every track – sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a sigh.

octave plateau is not just a musical alias. It’s a lifelong project, a personal archive, and a sonic playground. Welcome to a place where genres speak to one another – and where every note has a memory.
