about

Do you know the feeling of walking through a sleeping city?
Of feeling like the only person still awake - in a society that makes you feel alienated.
Did the thought ever cross your mind, that the cold dark months in the beginning of a new year, feel like the flamboyant December carousel has slowly and squeakingly come to a halt - as if the world had lost all it’s colors, as if all that was left, was a grey and abandoned amusement park?

What if there was a song that would voice all of your deepest feelings. What if there was a melody to cradle you through the dark.

„Waltz me to the Light - a Winter Tango“ is my, till now, most elaborate work. This song carries more emotion and meaning than I ever thought I would be able to fit into one single piece of music.

lyrics

It's cold my love
Come and dance with me
Turn and twirl me till
There's fire under my feet
    It's dark my love
Waltz me to the light
I'll follow your every step
blindfolded by the night

Now spin and turn me, make me twirl
Until the world becomes a blurr
Don't stop so I can't see what's really there
    My love come sway me round and round
Until our feet lift off the ground
Come join me on my red shoe carousel

Hold me fast
And never let me go
Don't stop till I can't tell
If outside is smoke or snow
    This world's gone mad
But we are mad too
watch everything collaps
Except my love for you

It's freezing, let us light the stove
And burn even our last bank notes
They'll warm us more than spending them on wood
    Let's drown this night in cold red wine
Drink it all up cause at sunrise
It will be bottled bordeaux coloured gold

Stirr the stars around the globe
Like walls of a kaleidoscope
Make this hall of mirrors move
And send the moon around the roof
   A square and grey merry-go-round
Spin it till the corners round
Make all these flashy adverts spark
Like lights of an amusement park

   Leyleyley

A paralizing hurricane
Spitting sparkles, purging pain
We're standing still in the sad eye
Watching how the world cries by
Don't slow it down, suppress each yawn
And keep it spinning until dawn
And when the sun kisses our crown
We'll lay our tired bodies down

It's dark my love
Waltz me to the light
Isn't it darkest at
The last breath of the night
    It's cold my love
Lay me by your feet
From here I'll dance alone
Open the windows when you leave
