Song of Spring (SOS)

I feel the urge to share something that haunts me
It tears me up - just sucks and makes me angry
I feel the urge to spread the word for dedication
I hear reports about slaughtered children in Iran
We’re wasting food – swallow medication to go on
I feel the urge to talk about collaboration
As time goes on and on
I sing this song
We will always be the minority
It’s the song of spring that lets me see
Living together as it is meant to be
Proud to be the minority
I wanna merge (You wanna merge because you feel the pain)
I feel the urge (Because you don't want to go insane)
I wanna merge (You cannot have lived in vain)
I feel the urge!
I wanna merge with your vision of a better world
Just merge with your ideals to get involved
It’s not the time for separation
As time goes on and on
I sing this song till dawn
Earth is where we belong
Or prove me wrong
We will always be the minority
It’s the song of spring that lets me see
Living together as it is meant to be
Proud to be the minority
Proud to be the minority
Proud to be the minority
I am proud to be the minority
Cause in the end I know it starts with me

Type Case

I got my first tattoo in Korea
I got my last tattoo in Bern
Had to travel ‘round the world
Leave my area
To realize – this is my concern
To understand where I come from
To recognize where I should go
Had to flee and escape my area
Then my inner fire started to burn
Our world reminds me of a “Type Case”
Each individual has a place
The countries give it some structure
And every person colors their own space
I decorate it with my paintings
So that a brand new mixture is done
But I wonder after all my earnings
What this “Knick-Knack-Rack” has become
Cause you ruin everything
Just bad handling
You pour buckets of paint over the type case
The compartments overflow
I see the hate grow
You pour buckets of paint over the type case
The brown color I admit
Yeah it looks and smells like shit
Fascist – yeah name it
I just call you a nazi pig
I got my first tattoo in Korea
I got my last tattoo in Bern
Had to travel ‘round the world
Leave my area
To realize – this is my concern
To understand where I come from
To recognize where I will go
Had to flee and escape my area
To realize – this is my concern

Family Issues

Like a battlefield gray and bombed out
But that place should bring peace
Mistrust, discomfort and doubt
His home brings no release
He wishes for a garden of eden
full of love and fertility
But he only finds discontentment and cruelty
Finds only discontentment – and cruelty
There is no comfort in his family
No relation to the pedigree
No protection in the pack
He breaks out – follows his own track
Leaving the kennel and the family tree
Progress instead of regression
Success and not defeat
Overcome the great depression
This is what we all need
But his failure has taken over
He has to act and rise
So, he breaks out of the kennel
before he dies
There is no comfort in his family
No relation to the pedigree
No protection in the pack
He breaks out – follows his own track
Leaving the kennel and the family tree
Leaving the kennel and the family tree
Just an escape from this calamity
The only way out of this tragedy
Still holds on to his identity
Leaving the kennel and the family tree
Just an escape from this calamity
Still remains true to his morality
He loves his mom and dad eternally

I wrote this song when I was sober
This time I was just honest with myself
I guess it was back in October
Last time my view was pretty clear
Natural need for intoxication
People are smart at deceiving themselves
I also crave exhilaration
Want the bad things to disappear
No no no
I don’t have a problem with…
No no no
I ain’t got no troubles with…
No no no
I don’t have a fucking problem
I can’t believe that you’re still here with me
Now you please listen
and reflect on yourself
Are there any insights or
just things you can compare?
You’re killing time and taking
the last bottle from the shelf
It's not too bad as long as we care
It's not too bad as long as we care
It's not too bad as long as we care
It's not too bad
No no no
We don’t have a problem with…
No no no
We ain’t got no troubles with…
No no no
We don’t have a fucking problem
I can’t believe that I’m still here with you
Please let me feel that what I see is true
Don’t leave me when I see the stars are shining
Don’t leave me when I see the grass is green
Don’t leave me when I’m seeing all the trees
standing here a thousand years
Don’t leave me when I see the sky is blue

Flo LeBeau recommends:
Bloodbath & Recovery
by Migre Le Tigre
Listen to the whole album! It's like a crazy journey through Rüfi's world of thoughts and I'm always impressed by the way he writes lyrics, sings and of course plays guitar like a madman. Enjoy!

I love this band and it's a big inspiration to me! Tigers Jaw is creating terrific songs that work acoustically and with full band. This EP is the proof!
go to album
First EP from my current band. I learned a lot in the process of making this record (songwriting, recording, performing...). Give it a spin! Also available in 10" transparent vinyl.

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
