Nana 04:45 video
NANA Oh hard to believe, ain’t no relief Feeling blue, without you Oh I’ll have to accept, no place for regret Will I be strong enough, without your care and love It came much too fast, now you’re in the past How does it feel, is this real Your story is told, but mine ain’t on hold I’ll take you with me, wherever I’ll be I can't distinguish my grief Oh sometimes I will cry, I fall down And sometimes I wish I can leave I fall down, fall down, fall down Oh sometimes I will cry, I fall down Oh and see the sunrise, sunrise

oh I used to know a little place on the outskirts of berlin There was a man who played his bass Craziest little place I ever been He was so deep into his playing never heard what people were saying But when the crowd started to clap he couldn’t help but... Clap if you wanna hear him slap The sound of his bass made me flinch my face It was grunty, it was dirty, it was mean and the way he slapped on his strings made me do all kinds of things The dancefloor was a kingdom I was the queen The sky went from black to blue as we danced the whole night through All the while I felt like in a dream and when the night came to an end and all the money had been spent I still couldn’t believe what I had seen Clap if you wanna hear him slap

They will tell you to find your path and keep walking oh when you have They won’t provide you with what you need So you will have to oh trust your feet You’re told there’s not a lot of time if you don’t want to fall behind But when you walk without a clue there’s always one thing you can do Ask for directions oh when you can’t see the sun You’re not the only one Ask for directions oh if you have lost your way Because to ask is better than to stay Uh oh oh oh I know the road seems long Uh oh oh oh But know that you must go on, Go on For every lie they sold you there is a story told true but you will have to find it on your own The reason you’re still breathin’ is that you don’t believe’ em You know there’s more than they have shown The pace that they require leaves no room for desire Successfull is a sibling of alone No one can help you look through the pages of your book Uh oh oh oh Can’t find you, can’t find you Oh oh oh oh but you will have to find it on your own Oh I just want to find my way back home ’cause I don’t like to feel alone Just walk with me and take my hand Let’s leave our footprints in the sand Ask for directions oh when you can’t see the sun You’re not the only one Ask for directions oh if you have lost your way Because to ask is better than to stay Ask for directions oh you will find your way

Allodem 07:07
All them shiny shiny things They want me to want it but I All the voices they say try it They want me to want it but I No no no no no no no I dont need you All them shiny shiny things I don’t need no woho They want me to want it but I I don’t need no woho All the voices they say try it I’m sorry Sir but I don’t buy it They want me to want it but I I don’t need no Don’t need allodem! Don’t want nonodem! Mr. TV can you tell me What for I need the things you sell me? Monkey see and monkey do whatever you would like us to All them people they come buying But after all you see them crying You want them to want it but they don’t need you Don’t need allodem! Don’t want nonodem! All them shiny shiny things They want me to want it but I All the voices they say try it They want me to want it but I

Numb Thumbs 04:41
Your eyes look down as if your phone was the sea I’m right here you’re right there but where are we? I just wanna talk to you and have a tea But instead your forehead is all I see The more connected we are the less connection we feel you got your friends everywhere just don’t know which ones are real Swipe til’ your thumb is numb Watch til’ your mind is blind Charge til’ your power can’t get lower Run out of battery, you’re free If this’ the way the world is now then I resist People see just what could be and not what is The false approve of likes and views is dangerous Clouded minds not aware of what they miss Would it really be so bad if you didn’t have this responsibility that you do not need? Go outside and meet a friend from beginning to the end With the net I wouldn’t bother but you rather... Swipe til’ your thumb is numb Watch til’ your mind is blind Charge til’ your power can’t get lower Run out of battery, you’re free

maintenant il y a du chemin et on peut pas se voir demain même si c’est pas si loin on peut pas se voir demain le fil est toujours là mais tu changes de voix je change de voix c’est comme ça je sais tu es toujours là c’est pour ça qu’on a pas peur tu restes là tu restes là tu restes là dans mon coeur des fois c’est pas facile mais je crois en toi tu crois en moi c’est comme ça on rêve de la mer et de l’eau salée mais c’est pas la même terre on peut pas y aller maintenant il y a du chemin et on peut pas se voir demain même si c’est pas si loin on peut pas se voir demain le fil est toujours là mais tu changes de voix je change de voix c’est comme ça je sais tu es toujours là c’est pour ça qu’on a pas peur c’est comme ça oh et voilà Ho hey c’est comme ça oh et voilà je chante et tu danses avec moi tu chantes et je danse avec toi je danse et tu chantes avec moi c’est comme ça et voilà C’est comme ça oh et voilà C’est comme ça je chante et tu danses avec moi tu chantes et je danse avec toi je danse et tu chantes avec moi c’est comme ça et voilà

about

„Ask For Directions“ stellt die Reise dar, zu welcher mit „Leggi Leggi!“ (Debüt, senegal. Wolof für ‚Bis bald!‘, Dezember 2016 auf Lalonova Records) aufgebrochen wurde, musikalisch wie menschlich. Seit dem ersten Album hat sich die Band weiterentwickelt, aber nicht ihre Wurzeln aufgegeben. Der vertraute Sound des ‚Powerfunk‘ wird mit neuen musikalischen Ideen, ausgefeilteren Arrangements und
reiferen Texten kombiniert. „Numb Thumbs“ bezieht sich auf den Handywahn, „Allodem“ prangert eine von Werbung erschaffene Wegwerfgesellschaft an und im Titeltrack „Ask For Directions“ geht es um Leistungsdruck und das Gefühl der Orientierungslosigkeit.
Trotzdem hat die Musik nicht an Freude, Power oder Tanzbarkeit
eingebüßt, ganz im Gegenteil werden die tanzbaren Passagen
geschickt und dynamisch mit der Aussage der Texte verbunden.
Am 18.05.2018 wird das zweite Album auf Lalonova Records digital und auf CD und Vinyl veröffentlicht.
