Overcome

It took me ten years to get here
The competition was severe
I had to fight some fierce resistance
It took me ten years to get here
It took me a thousand tries to hear
My inner voice, myself to cheer
I have improved my own persistence
Now after ten years I am here
I often had to overcome – overcome
You have to overcome
Make it right before you’re done
My heart was beating to my neck
Although I’m not a nervous wreck
Slip on, blow minds, slip off
My heart was beating to my neck
I often had to overcome – overcome
You have to overcome
Make it right before you’re done
I don’t know any wisdom
There is no short advice
We all live in that system
And we all have to pay the price
Just one thing to remember
I would say it’s wise
Love yourself tender
Your heart will guide you through
the crisis better than your eyes
It took me ten years to get here
The path forward seems to be clear

Small Fish

All the regulations
can’t see forest for the trees
I'm running out of patience
all I feel is lack of peace
I will conquer my place in society
All the regulations
rule me like a disease
In every situation
they are chasing me like bees
All I need is to meet in equality
I’m just a small fish in the water
But you still use the massive rod
Please note and fight the serious slaughter
Reunite and build your squad
Yes you will find me in my squad
All the regulations
they drag me to the ground
Adapting conversations
I have had enough – just drown
Fuck you and all your holy authority
Fuck you and all your authority
I’m just a small fish in the water
But you still use the massive rod
Please note and fight the serious slaughter
Reunite and build your squad
Yes you will find me in my squad
Give me a fine
I’ll throw it in brine
My dreams they are mine
Keep upright my spine
My heart beats I’m fine
Feel strong like a pine
Just one more last line
I won’t die on the vine
I’m just a small fish in the water
But you still use the massive rod
Please note and fight the serious slaughter
Reunite and build your squad
Yes you will find me in my squad

Bridge

There was a man
Telling me this story
‘bout desperate people
Living on the edge
They don’t get along
And they worry
Their lives are skidding
Like a broken sledge
There has to be – something more
So powerful – I can’t ignore
I wanna build that bridge
Right now
Find my balance on the ridge
Mmh – Mhm – Mhm…
I wanna build that bridge
Right now
Want to connect the disconnected
soul of my existence
There is no way out
In this cruel world
So they just prefer
To sleep
Dormancy – and
dreams become pearls
No other way is
so cheap
There has to be – something more
So powerful – I can’t ignore
I wanna build that bridge
Right now
Find my balance on the ridge
Mmh – Mhm – Mhm…
I wanna build that bridge
Right now
Want to connect the disconnected
soul of my existence
Find my balance on the ridge
I just want to build that bridge

I Am Free

I wonder how I landed here
My head is stuck and spinning
Just feel the wish to disappear
Is there a new beginning?
I’m sinking deeper in the end
But I am free
I keep that in my memory
A glory tree
Deliver me from misery
Give me the key
It is the perfect remedy
Are you there?
It’s just about you and me
I’m sick of waiting for this
I’m out of gasoline
They say that ignorance is bliss
Is this the way I’m getting clean?
I’m sinking deeper in the end
But even broken hopes will mend
Yes I am free
I keep that in my memory
A glory tree
Deliver me from misery
Give me the key
It is the perfect remedy
Are you there?
It’s just about you and me
I’m standing here right at the doorstep
Please help me enter this sphere
It makes me smile and helps to forget
Keeps away fright and fear
Yes I am free
I keep that in my memory
A glory tree
Deliver me from misery
Give me the key
It is the perfect remedy
Are you there?
It’s just about you and me

Flo LeBeau Bern, Switzerland
Acoustic disaster since 2022 !
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!
go to album
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.

The St Buryan Sessions
by Sarah McQuaid
Recorded live at St Buryan Church, the latest from Sarah McQuaid is a showcase for the simple power of voice & guitar.
go to album
The lead singer of punk band Camp Cope ventures into romantic synth-pop territory, tempering slick arrangements with bare sentiment.
go to album
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
