Alice Phoebe Lou (born 19 July 1993) is a South African singer-songwriter. She has released three EPs and three albums. In December 2017 her song "She" from the film Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story was included on the Oscars shortlist for Best Original Song. Alice Phoebe Lou’s fiercely independent approach to her music has given the singer songwriter a creative confidence that shines through in her captivating vocals and stripped back music. Having developed her bluesy, folk sound busking on the streets of Berlin, Alice has caught the ears of a community of music lovers the world over with her honest storytelling and raw, beautiful voice. Alice grew up on a mountainside in South Africa listening to her parent’s records and indulging her love of theatre, arts and music at a local Waldorf school; a formative time that nurtured her independence and desire to experience music of all styles. This multi-faceted creative upbringing mixed with Alice’s natural wanderlust and in 2010, 16-year-old Alice made her first journey to Europe during her summer break from school. Inspired by watching fire dancers in Paris, she began to perform likewise to get enough money to fund her travelling. That summer Alice roamed between Paris and Amsterdam; experiencing the highs and lows of street performances’ underbelly. This vagabond lifestyle was a creative inspiration and gave Alice an enduring taste for the immediacy of street crowds. After returning to South Africa to complete her studies, Alice’s path led her back to Europe and she made her way to the German capital - Berlin. The freedom of the city was intoxicating and she immersed herself in the creative world there. Alice began busking across Berlin with just her guitar, a small amplifier on a trolley and her mesmerising voice. Her natural talent and captivating delivery started to garner a cult street following with people coming to see her busk and buy her records. The uncompromising creative community of Berlin also helped Alice grow musically and she collaborated with acoustic, jazz and electronic musicians; including multi-instrumentalist Matteo who quickly became Alice’s live performance companion. Soon Alice self-released her first body of work – the Momentum EP – her first collaborative effort recorded five different producers. Although by now interest was sparked with several major labels, Alice’s desire to maintain the creative freedom she had fostered kept her focus on growing her digital community of loyal fans and imagining ever more interesting settings for her intimate live shows. Having spent two years playing intimate gigs across Europe and South Africa, and supporting established like-minded artists like Rodriguez, 2016 saw Alice releasing her first full length studio album. Orbit comprises nine jazz-influenced, eclectic tracks recorded between Cape Town and Berlin that encapsulate the freshness of her live style, vagabond spirit and showcase her distinctive, soprano voice. Produced by Matteo and Kyson, the album is a testament to Alice’s collaborative way of writing and features musicians from South Africa and Europe lending their musical skills and different visual artists producing art works to match each track. The result is an intricately woven pattern of soul, blues and jazz: scattered with retro, beatnik melodies; soothing vocal harmonies and sleazy brass flourishes.

Berlin Blues It ruffled up my feathers And it barked on up my tree When suddenly it seemed all the fingers Were pointing on up at me And the footsteps in the sand Were all getting washed up by the sea To leave me in stitches Bursting at the seams Bursting at the seams When the sun came out to greet me I only saw the wolves from my dreams This is my Berlin Blues song Sometimes life can get a little wrong But it won't be long 'Cause it just makes me strong And there is a place where we one day will delve Where there's no more walking on eggshells Where ideas are for free, oh it's the place to be Your great mind's no longer the minority And I'll see you there with your hands in the air Where the canvas is bare And there's no more despair And your third eye will stare Nothing can compare There's not one care And I'll see you there I'll see you there I'll see you there I'll see you there This is my Berlin Blues song Sometimes life can get a little wrong But it won't be long 'Cause it just makes me strong And there is a place where we one day will delve Where there's no more walking on eggshells Where ideas are for free, oh it's the place to be Your great mind's no longer the minority And I'll see you there with your hands in the air Where the canvas is bare And there's no more despair And your third eye will stare Nothing can compare There's not one care And I'll see you there I'll see you there I'll see you there I'll see you there This is my Berlin Blues song Sometimes life can get a little wrong But it won't be long 'Cause it just makes me strong Grey Calm the fuck down And unclench your fists I can't see you through the mist How did it come to this Wipe the tears From inside your head Your eyes are looking dead Was it something I said Take back those words I'm not as strong as I look It's my soul that you shook And my heart that you took Leave me in my misery Hopefully I'll forget you someday I can't stay I have to stop my soul's decay You've taken all my dignity It's clear to me that this ain't child's play I'll be on my way Before my world turns grey Hey!

Girl On An Island There once was an island Further than any boat had reached And she sat there in silence Alone but at ease A spell was upon her Her body could never leave But her mind would travel multitudes You and I could not conceive When the night sky's your only friend When you're tired of playing pretend When the ground under your feet Seems like no more than a dream And you're in over your head And your instincts are not fed Well, you're not free You don't feel free There's no time to be On that island with me Far away from the city From the litter and poverty From the fast paced monotony Society Oh, he stands in front of me And he's staring manically Screaming Oh society, what have you done to me? The ground I've tread so many years All this blood and sweat and tears Just to be inside your mould And do just what I'm told If only I had been so bold But now my body's getting old And time is oh so golden If only it could be frozen But you took it away from me Oh society You took it away from me Oh my liberty Oh you took it away from me Oh society You took it away from me When you brainwashed me with formulas of how I should be Shaped me and raped me of my individuality Schooled me and fooled me Told me what I could and could not see Took me and shook me Of my urges to be free Red The sky was red, he stared ahead I saw him tread, one step more Gets out of bed, he fills with dread His dreams are dead, money makes him poor He's been misled Life's flown overhead Overhead Overhead There's a bird trapped in his head but he ignores it instead And his spirit has long fled and now he is hard to the core She could have lead him to the rich sky Wonders why she's not around anymore He's been misled Life's flown overhead Overhead Overhead He said I can lead you to the red sky If you just stop asking why If you just stop asking why If you just stop asking why Why And I said I will reach deep down inside And stare with you ahead and give you all my red And put it in your head and in your heart And I will part and you will stay But I will still dream of one day Might not be so far away Might not be so far away Take Flight I treated you bad my dear I'll blame it on fear To help my own ears And I put myself first my love I pushed and I pushed And I shoved and I shoved Sometimes I can't breathe And I push you out to sea And leave you drowning Drowning And you, you smy soul my friend You know that I know That this ain't the end And you opened my heart again But things they have changed now And we can't pretend But we've got mountains to climb And sure I'm happy when you're mine But we're drowning Drowning Haruki Awake from your slumber You've been sleeping far too long Your eyes have been shut tight I'd like to pry them wide for just one day I found your naked body Out in the fields An empty shell down in a well I'm sure it felt like hell You had blood on your hands And mud on your feet And I said hey I knew I'd meet you one day And like the wind from the east I swept you away I swept you away I swept you away And like the wind from the east I swept you away I swept you away I swept you I swept you I swept you away Then you rose from the day Gave your eyes to the sun And you looked at me Said I'm not the only one Music came back to your ears And you danced and you danced For all of the years You'd forgotten how To live for the now Walking In The Garden We got footsteps moving slow we got less Power and more control we got a man up there Who's so big and bold it's getting old Well I was walking in the garden and the first Signs of morning were pewing through the l Leaves and my blue suede shoes were collecting Dew and the path it was leading back to you you You you you Well I was walking in the cathedral and the Stained glass windows were shining down on Me and the whispering voices were echoing Inside and the candles they were burning just For you you you you you Well I've walked I've walked as far as my feet Love go and I've tripped I've fallen on the muddy Road but the path to home can't always be Chosen by you or me is this the way it's gonna be Oh no I hope you see me when the day is done I Never knew I never dreamed of anyone like you You you you you you We got footsteps moving slow we got less Power and more control we got a man up there Who's so big and bold it's getting old We've got footsteps moving slow we got less Power and more control we got a man up there Who's so big and bold it's getting old We got footsteps moving slow we got less Power and more control we got a man up there Who's so big and bold it's getting old Amsterdam I've seen the dreadlocked man sit by the magic tree Singing songs of the wise the wise and the free And the bike slipped from beneath my drunken weight And my body it became the tar's evening bait But none of this is fate And I've crawled through the bushes and the spiders and thorns To delve beyond the barrier of the celebration core I'm just an innocent outlaw And I know that it's good that I'm doing this for It's all lies And my limbs have danced for the Amsterdam sunrise With not one restriction and not one disguise Monotony is what I despise Integration to society would be my demise It's all lies Orbit One foot on the pavement and one foot in the milky way And I'm soaring Soaring My branches scrape the sea of stars My roots dig deep into this world of ours And I'm grounded Grounded My reality is what I perceive What I attract into my orbit Worries fade into the haze The air feels different this time 'round Different this time 'round Let's set sail Start a fire Learn to live a little higher Let's pick the lock Grab the reigns Forget there ever were chains 'Cause there never were chains Days move on and times they change In a blink of an eye things rearrange We're moving Moving We're sucked in and we're spat out On the other side of the rabbit hole But we find our way Find our way Do you want to be just a machine in this crazy society Pick the lock Grab the reigns Forget there ever were chains 'Cause there never were chains The City Sleeps Babe have you seen those leaves on the ground At first they shone from the pavement in gold red and brown And they've been trampled on and ridden over And they're just sludge lying around And I think it's time to leave this town The trees whisper secrets of summer's love affairs Of the carelessness tomfoolery that happened everywhere But as the doors close And the wind blows The city sleeps And the sky weeps And I know I know I know it's time to leave this town Oh no you won't see me hanging around But babe I'll be back When the sun starts to seep through the leaves When I can sing you a song As you sing along On these magic berlin streets With our night riding Midnight gliding Morning dancing Pavement prancing You know oh you know You know I'll be back to live this town Oh you know I'll be back to love this town

The moon was full and it left me howling My head was spinning and my heart was growling I've received crimson stains on my sheets that morning The world felt big and the tides were moving Moving And I stopped caring too much about my outside I stopped caring too much about my outside Didn't wanna be told Didn't wanna be told what I'm supposed to look like Didn't wanna be told what makes a woman look right Didn't wanna be told, didn't wanna be told Right Didn't wanna be told, didn't wanna be told So I took off my clothes And I jumped right in The 3 AM water It soaked my skin The full moon tide was up to my chin I looked at you and your mischief grin I looked at you and your mischief grin I looked at you and your mischief grin You better cut off your wings cause you're held up by strings now Cut off your wings 'cause you're held up by strings now And I stopped caring too much about my outside I stopped caring too much about my outside Didn't wanna be told Didn't wanna be told what I'm supposed to look like Didn't wanna be told what makes a woman look right Didn't wanna be told, didn't wanna be told Right Didn't wanna be told, didn't wanna be told New Song Why did they lie They said to survive I had to walk along the line But I don't feel alive, does that mean I've survived Does that mean I've survived Does that mean I've survived What kind of living is this I don't wanna simply exist I wanna punch with my fist I wanna roll with the misfits The ender in the mist Give in to the bliss Grab life by her wrist Lean in for a kiss and say, "I want this" "Oh, I need this" I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I've never been one for leaving But I need something to believe in Something that shakes me Watch out I'm waking I'm yours for the taking I'm newborn, I'm shaking Never been one for leaving But now I'm leaving 'Cause my heart's still beating And there's nothing, it's fleeting As a life before expiry Tonight I'm feeling fiery I'll set fire to everything Everything that meant something 'Cause now it has no meaning Now it has no meaning I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it I wanna live like I mean it I'm gonna take it, not leave it Ocean I saw you throw your hands in the air and say a prayer Your eyes closed, your nose breathing in the salty air There was nothing you could do to make me love you anymore You said, "What I despair in you I don't feel like I'm going anywhere with you I might as well fling myself into your ocean At least then I'll would be with you" And the ocean roared And the ocean howled And the ocean roared And the ocean howled So you jumped down from the cliff you'd climbed to Into paradise that lay below you I could only stare And let my tears fall in the ocean And the ocean roared And the ocean howled And the ocean roared And the ocean howled And the ocean roared And the ocean howled And the ocean roared And the ocean howled And the ocean roared And the ocean howled And the ocean roared And the ocean howled

Dusk Oh she told me she gets lonely When the sky changes from day to night That's when her demons come say "hey" Dusk is always harder for my baby So I told her not to be afraid That I'd think of her at that time of day So I think about when her eyes light up I think about when her eyes light up The world, the whole wide world But the world don't matter When we're looking at each other Oh she's got this way of making you feel like You've lived a thousand times and nеver gonna die And she shinеs illuminated by the strobe light She smiles and everything will be alright In the world, the whole wide world But the world don't matter When we're looking at each other But the world don't matter When we're looking at each other

around Communicate like trees Way down under the ground Where we've got so much going on Like a whole other hidden universe And I don't think that I wanna leave just yet Can I just stay here stay here Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Make me happy Make me sweat Here's my body and it's dripping wet And I want you to show me the way back Oh I want you to give me what I lack Make me laugh and then Pull at my heartstrings Till I cry like a baby on a full moon night Tonight I don't wanna be anything But a girl in a cute dress A cute mess Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Here in our underworld Sweet Is there nothing for me here Did I read it wrong Could you not make your mind up, dear Did I just lead it

you Did I wake up in the wrong world Or am I in some kind of paradise Me & The Moon Well, I'm walking just past midnight I'm alone, all alone Ah just me and the moon And I've got quite an appetite Should I stay alone Or should I call you up, call you up Maybe I'll have a little drink and a little smoke Mull it over, think it out 'Fore I just call you up after midnight On such an empty night Could I enjoy it for myself Or do I need some company Is it that easy to call someone up And tell them to wrap their arms around me It's easy when the world's asleep And it's so easy when it's all at my feet So I decide not to go home Not to go anywhere in particular I'll just follow my feet Meet myself on an unfamiliar street Until I finally find nothing Maybe nothing's what I need Ah just me and the moon Ah just me and the moon Let Me I'm all that I've got Can't be all you've got too There's not enough room in here for all of you I'll give you more whenever I'm ready I didn't ask to give up my privacy I'm just one girl Don't wanna rule the world I just wanna make, make my own Won't you let me Let me I've given my time and love to so many But I don't have enough to give what you expect me I'm going out alone Alone feels just right Let me My shoulders are tired from holding such weight I'm putting it all down Taking it off Letting it drip down I will not be around I will be somewhere that I can only reach Not open to the public Not open to anyone Not open, not open Let me If You Were Here If you were here We'd have a ball I'd take your hand and we'd fall But in the wake of what you left I will forever remain If you were here I'd touch your skin I'd bury everything I'd kiss your forehead And make a wish And we'd be all embracing I'd run a bath for us to sit in Light some candles, your face would flicker in And I'd crumble at the thought of what we could be And I'd crumble at the beauty of what might be Care You've got something I want always Never quite enough Never coming down I've got something I wanna give you for nothing I'll be forever there Whether you care Whether you care Take me seriously and take me up in your arms Give me nothing and everything in-between You make me scream You make me feel it all You make me wanna shine And you'll be on your knees, honey And it'll never be the same We've got ourselves But maybe we could have each other too Treat me like you feel me I've got so much love Don't know how to get it all out You're blocking it from Finding its way to meet you halfway I wanna meet you halfway I'm there standing all still And then shaking, moving, levitating Love enough to fill a thousand hearts I'll wait until it gets all dark We've got ourselves But maybe we could have each other too Shake Now everybody do the shake Let's shake it out, let's take a break Shake with me until there's nothing left Just let it all hang out It's not the end, it's the start Well, I've got things I wanna scream and shout And I've got things that really freak me out But even when I'm on the edge of my cliff Well, I can shout your name into the abyss Well, I've got things I wanna say out loud And I don't always get the words right out But I don't wanna wait till we grow old I wanna kiss you like our lives depend on it Well, I saw hearts all up in your eyes Don't worry, I won't tell anyone Let's just try to have a good old time You know we all deserve to feel that some time Well, I've got stars coming out of my mouth I seem to throw them up on everyone It's so good to have a little hope I watched the world go wild and so can I Now everybody do the shake Let's shake it out, let's take a break Shake with me until there's nothing left Just let it all hang out It's not the end, it's the start End Of The Road I put my hands on my body Take myself up in my arms I take out the stones from my pockets And balance them like my brother does And it feels like enough It feels like enough And even though I'll never see the end of the road I know it's there and that's enough And even though I might see the end of your love I know it's there and that's enough Am I playing a role Is this all just a part Am I saying some lines That don't come from the heart Am I saying yes When I really mean no Am I putting it on Is it all part of the show Am I selling a dream That doesn't even exist Am I doing enough To rebel to resist And even though I'll never see the end of the road I know it's there and that's enough And even though I might see the end of your love I know it's there and that's enough Child's Play Shake it off, baby You've got it all figured out You're doing just fine You never done nothing But try to feel alright Pick your fights and try to be kind Say how you feel even when it gets real oh We're getting harder on the outside and softer on the inside Do it yourself, that's the only time it's done right I've tried a million times, but I never really got it just right But that's the beauty of the game It's a game and you don't need to win It's child's play, honey The way you shake it all up It's child's play, honey The way you make me feel like I was just born Shake it off, baby You've got it all figured out You're doing just fine You never done nothing But try to feel alright We're getting harder on the outside and softer on the inside Do it yourself, that's the only time it's done right I've tried a million times, but I never really got it just right We're getting harder on the outside and softer on the inside
Shelter
Shelter Underneath the armour that I wear There's something sweet and full of care In the morning, picking flowers In my head, I was giving them to you You showed me things I've only seen in dreams And there's something magic about this whole thing Open your door and let the air in Nothing's set in stone, my love But you can't change everything I'd forgotten how to pray It can be so hopeful to give in that way I was chasing ghosts into dark alleys I wasn't making the most of everything surrounding me Gonna take shelter Gonna run for cover, yeah With only myself looking out for me I'm done seeing what everyone else sees in me I just have to feel it for myself I'm done putting everyone in front of me, yeah I just have to look out for myself
Angel Nothing that I see is real It's all floating unpredictable Reality became strange and I wanted to share it with you And there's something in the air tonight And I'm walking back into the light And you're on my mind That's where I always find you Oh you're on my mind Even when I'm not looking for you Is it safe to go outside I've been hiding for quite some time I don't have to have a purpose I just wanna play Turn yourself back on Show me how you've longed for me For me I should have seen it coming But there was an angel looking out for me Twisting and turning alone at night Is my baby awake I just want to reach out But will he take the bait But in the fading light It's another inner fight It's another lonely night without you But in the fading light It's another inner fight It's another lonely night without you Is it safe to go outside I've been hiding for quite some time I don't have to have a purpose I just wanna play Turn yourself back on Show me how you've longed for me Only I should have seen it coming But there was an angel looking out for me
Open My Door I used to open my door To pretty much anyone who was trying to look for A place to feel safe But I made my whole world safer for everyone but me So I took my bones and I called them my own And I found a place inside That's safe for me And now I wander the world alone but alive And smiling on the inside I'm taking back all the pieces of me That were taken unwillingly I'm offering myself up to the heavens I'm ready to love what I've been given I'm getting back to my own rhythm It's such a new kind of living I'm picking myself up off the carpet I'm running my hands over my body I'm back on land Welcome to your life, Alice I used to open my door To pretty much anyone who was trying to look for A place to feel safe But I made my whole world safer for everyone but me
Lately I find it hard to let myself be Been trying far too hard to make you see What I've got going on So you can make your mind up If you show me your cards I'll stop being the fool 'Cause lately it feels like I'm driving you crazy And I'm not sure that it's the good kind Do you wanna let me in on what it feels like to look at me I wanna believe that I'm more than you seem to see Surely I could be so much more to you, baby But lately I've been driving you crazy But will I always And sometimes I wonder how you speak of me When I'm not there And you can say whatever you please Do you say anything about how I make you feel 'Cause I'd love to know 'Cause lately it feels like I'm driving you crazy And I'm not sure that it's the good kind Do you wanna let me in on what it feels like to look at me
Lose My Head I don't wanna lose my head just yet I haven't even started coming I'm not ready to set my bet I don't want to be any more involved than I am Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna stay Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna go away Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna play Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna go away Come over here Don't miss this chance Oh life's just sitting there But love isn't always Come over here Don't miss this chance Oh life's just sitting there But love isn't always Come, come over here It's worth it, it's worth it It's already there, it feels so perfect Come on, would you just ride with me You've earned it, you've earned it Come on, would you just shake with me We both deserve it Halo I see the sunlight dripping, it touches my skin Oh all the shapes and colours I'm swimming in The summer's finally here and orange trees are smiling I've got my eyes to the sky, the day is calling Couldn't wipe the grin off of my face if I tried Don't have a sense of purpose today I'm a little nervous But sometimes you have to find that sense of mission for yourself No one around to tell me what not to do No one to motivate me Oh how the wheel is turning Fortune is spinning round my halo And I don't need anybody I'll go out walking, clear my head Haven't done much talking since I landed in this funny heaven It's a little lonely, but I don't mind It's quite a contrast, I'm not used to this life I'm always caring for everybody else But If I put that care in me, how easy it could be I thought that I was escaping my reality But I took it along with me I thought that I was escaping my reality But I took it along with me Shine Isn't it so lovely to be in each other's dreams We're in each other's futures too Take me to a new home I'd like nothing more Than to make it with you Let's go inside and close our door And stay in bed all morning I have had a vision of paradise And you're playing the piano there A little boy with curly hair You take me in your arms with that look in your eyes That tells me that you're coming to me Tells me that you're staying That it's not only a dream we're in Tells me that we're under no spell That this is just the way we feel This is just the way This is just the way we feel Seeing you in the morning light is a motivation It really gets me going It makes me wanna shine Makes me wanna be yours Makes me wanna be mine My Girl My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl It's a man's world, my girl, my girl, my girl We gotta poke it, haunt it, stir it and flaunt it As the dirt falls from the mouths of hounds That bite as you fight for your body to be nobody's but yours Your body's nobody's but yours Sharpen your claws, my girl Learn to love your flaws, my girl Don't listen to the laws that make you feel small We're a waterfall and we fall and we fall and we fall But I'd rather fall than never try at all And take with you the bravest moves Of soothsayers, bridgemakers, world shakers 'Cause I'm shaking But let's shake together Let's shake as one And when we stop shaking A new world's begun Shake for me, baby, shake for me I wanna see you shaking Heave for me, honey, let's heave before you're leaving I wanna watch your heart beating Dream for me, sunny, if there's anything worth dreaming I'll tell you all the meanings Tell you all the meanings But let's shake together Let's shake as one And when we stop shaking A new world's begun A new world's begun My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl Hammer As I try to exist Without caring 'bout the voices in my head, analysing You would know, your head gets full too I see it in the cloud that you carry We could go and try to build a life Without these worries bringing us down Just hold me close and be yourself I want it, I want it all I'm all I need, but oh how I want you She's looking back from the mirror With wide eyes, guilty Painting a picture Half the time I feel like mine And the other half is wrapped up in you I'm giving in, I'm checking out I'm on a mission and that mission concerns you I would like to wrap my world up with you Make our lives two times the sweeter It's sweeter to be in your corner It's never been any clearer Just wake me up in that way and nothing else matters I'm not afraid anymore like I was when you first looked at me that way I'm not afraid like I was the first time that you looked at me that way I didn't know it yet But there was something in the words you said There was a motion in my heart And I didn't see it coming But it was coming for so long Now as it washes over me I can see how it took so long I'm standing at the altar and the world is singing at me And as I whisper to myself This is the moment and I'm melting into it Now's all I need when moments with you are so infinite And there's moments that take me higher, help me see Here I go playing with fire, but that's just me Don't bring me down, bring me down I, I just wanna breathe easily Just lift me up, lift me up So I can see more See over the walls that I built with my own hands I'll get the hammer you put on the music And let's break them down I'll get the hammer you play the music And let's dance

Acrobat (Angel Olsen cover / Live) You are the crazy acrobat You are the witch I am your cat I want to be a bit like you I hope you don't mind If I do I love the way your body's made I love the way your voice is like sex To be the whisper upon your ear I want to be the bed you miss I am alive I am alive I thought I thought that I died I thought I thought, I thought that I died Who cares, I'm not a moralist I'm just a lady with some time I want to be made out of love I want to be made into life I love the way you take a walk And the all the things you see with your eyes Oh to be that distant thought Some growing meaning in your mind And I thought I thought that I died Oh I thought I thought, I thought that I died
Amsterdam (Klangkuenstler feat. Alice Phoebe Lou / That's Me LP) I've seen the dreadlocked man sit by the magic tree Singing songs of the wise, the wise and the free And the bike slipped from beneath my drunken weight And my body it became the tar's evening bait But none of this is fate It's the path that my feet decide to create The path that my feet decide to create And I've crawled through the bushes and spiders and thorns Just to delve beyond the barrier of the celebration core I'm just an innocent outlaw And I know that it's good that I'm doing this for And my limbs have danced for the Amsterdam sunrise With not one restriction and not one disguise Monotony is the only thing I despise Integration to society would be my demise It's all lies... And I connect with the wealthy with their loud fucking silence And I connect with the homeless with their peace or their violence And I've been cursed at and put down But I've been praised and I wear a crown of light Despite to what you might think is right Oh fight Fight with all your might Fight, fight, fight Fight with all your might Fight, fight, fight And my limbs have danced for the Amsterdam sunrise With not one restriction and not one disguise Monotony is the only thing I despise Integration to society would be my demise And my limbs have danced for the Amsterdam sunrise With not one restriction and not one disguise Monotony is the only thing I despise Integration to society would be my demise It's all lies...

Castles Made Of Sand (Jimi Hendrix cover / Live) Down the streets you can hear her scream, "You're a disgrace" As she slams the door in his drunken face And now he stands outside And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool He cries, "Oh girl, you must be mad What happened to the sweet love you and me had?" Against the door he leans and starts a scene And his tears fall and burn on the garden green And so castles made of sand Fall in the sea Eventually Well, there was a young boy whose heart was a frown 'Cause he was crippled for life and he couldn't speak a sound And he wished and prayed he could stop living So he decided to die She drove her wheelchair to the edge of the shore To her legs she smiled, "You won't hurt me no more" But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say "Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way" And so castles made of sand Fall into the sea Eventually And so castles made of sand Fall into the sea Eventually Well, there was an Indian brave who before he was ten Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends And he built up a dream that when he grew up He would be a fierce warrior Indian chief Well, many moons passed 'fore the dream grew strong Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song And fight his first battle, but something went wrong Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night And so castles made of sand Fall into the sea Eventually And so castles made of sand Fall into the sea Eventually And so castles made of sand Fall into the sea Eventually
Galaxies feat.

Strongboi (Strongboi feat. Alice Phoebe Lou) Take it up with god I'm just the messenger undressing her Allowing her to love herself Take herself off the shelf Got a healthy appetite for what feel right What a sight Her tits out wet from a dip Slipping into silk As she starts to laugh like thunder Dance, dance like water reflecting the sun Run, run, run towards a new year Hear, hear I'm feeling fiery and full of what I need To get me to sunrise Oh she left me seeing stars Like I was hit on the head real fucking hard I see you Just remember that I feel you too Love is simple, love is complicated Am I ever really satiated I warned you There's always better views I'm tickled pink But sometimes I feel blue How can you possibly be see thru Deep warmth rising thru my body I'm high again and I feel a longing Sharpen your claws, my girl Learn to love your flaws, my girl Don't listen to the laws that make you feel small, my girl We're a waterfall And we fall and we fall But I'd rather fall than never try at all Let me play I'm a kid in many ways I've got cheeky love for days Just give me a taste Trembling at the thought of your sweet face I'll be loving with you once again We send, we bend Kissing my friends The party never ends, let's do it again
Sweet Dreams (Angel Olsen cover / Live) And Every time I close my eyes Something small within me dies Can't say if it's dark or bright But it's all I've ever known And when I sleep I sleep alone Alone Alone And every time I take a breath Something once living inside me has left Yes, it's alive and it's just past through It's just left me and it's just left you On your own On your own And I love you most I love you most When I first found love in myself And I'll give to you Give it up to you When I first find it in myself And the time will come for everyone For everyone to know Yes, the time will come for everyone For everyone to show And say goodbye And say goodbye And say goodbye Sweet dreams Sleep tight Sleep tight
The World Above Waking up and giving up before the day has started I'm alone with my demons, they tease me with temptation I know I've got a light inside, I can use it to get through it But is it enough Is it light enough I'm underneath the water, but I can see the world above It smiles at me, it's shining, inviting me to the party I hold my breath, I nod my head and rise, rise I know I'll reach the surface soon And when I do, when I do There's so much I've been keeping inside that longs to come out I never know what's going on until I say it out loud I'm here, the time is now I'm here, the time is now I'm back on land in the moon's light I look up at her shining I hold my hand real tight This moment is defining I'm not one of a kind, but I'm a kind one And I'll show it to myself And I'll show it to myself
Touch I've been lonely since I woke up I wanna touch, no, it's never enough I heard his voice and had a cry Made me remember all the reasons why I wanna give you all I've got Until I'm not even a thought You've been hanging out in my head I've been imagining you in my bed But my imagination can only go Only go so far Only go so far I want the real thing I want it bad Want you to hold me like you never have Can our bodies meet again Like it's the first time Like there's no time I wanna give you all I've got Until my body begins to rot You've been hanging out in my head I've been imagining you in my bed But my imagination can only go Only go so far Only go so far I want the real thing, I want it bad Want you to hold me like you never have Can our bodies meet again Like it's the first time Like there's no time
