Sunny morning hello It’s the middle of the week And I can’t let go Sunny morning why Lots on my mind I’m feeling small An ant in a mountain Where do I belong? I’m feeling small Billions surrounding What’s that call? I try to see the sun I’m working on fun I try to see what’s wrong And I will go on I’m feeling strong An ant in a mountain Everywhere I go I’m feeling strong Billions surrounding We are not alone I’m feeling small An ant in a mountain Where do I belong? I’m feeling small Billions surrounding What’s that call? I’m feeling strong Billions surrounding We are not alone
2.	The Screaming Lady 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Screaming in the backyard 2x My heart is beating fast Tripping to the past On and on I try On and on I try Screaming in the backyard 2x My heart is beating fast Tripping to the past I lose myself Falling into the swamp Racing memory space At the speed of light Star shower of pain Star shower of hate I am afraid I can’t escape 2x Screaming in the backyard 2x My heart is beating fast Tripping to the past

Slowly I wake up To the sound of cute birds Lately I miss it all I'd like to stay asleep Get up up Eat food food Work work work Sleep sleep sleep Living Living living in a loop loop loop Slowly I roll out Already I miss my bed Lately cuddly bedtime is the best thing to do Get up up Eat food food Work work work Sleep sleep sleep Living Living living in a loop loop loop Get up up Eat food food Work work work sleep sleep sleep Living Living living in a loop loop loop
4.	Feeling Sick 03:57	lyrics	buy track
All around me People take What about giving It’s not a mistake I’m on a carrousel Falling down No return to A safer ground I want to sleep all day Don’t feel like food today You always say you always say I think It’s not going to be okay 2x I know it’s not what you want to hear All I want is to be me to be heard I know you don’t believe in sad All I want is you to stop believing I’m bad I know it’s not what you want to hear All I want is to stop feeling this way I know you don’t believe in sad All I want is to be me to be heard 4x
5.	Toast 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Memories in our head All it reflects Memories in our head Personal neglect Butter on bread Evenly spread Little flakes of salt I am bored Above the sky Dreaming high Above the sky Wondering why Oh Uh Voices in our head Personal neglect Voices in our head Slowly go to rest Butter on bread Evenly spread Little flakes of salt I am bored Above the sky Dreaming high Above the sky Wondering why x
6.	Decisions 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Decisions Growing up I still can’t see Why we should Not be free Growing up I still don’t want To work somewhere To be someone A sense I can’t relate Blown into our heads Where are we supposed to end In all this mess? Why work for less money? Why be second choice? Why care for everyone but me? I won’t live a lie! Growing up I still can’t see Why we should Not be free Growing up I still don’t want To live a lie To be someone A sense I can’t relate Blown into our heads Where are we supposed to end In all this mess? Why work for less money? Why be second choice? Why care for everyone but me? I won’t live a lie!

Deep in the night We’re sleeping alright The moon brings the light Just hold me tight Moonlight Dreaming bright Your body against mine Wolf over mind Can you swim to that door Get to the other world Spin the wheel of time to change the sins and crimes? You’re just dreaming A little dream You’re just feeling Out of scene Deep in the night The moon shines bright You hold me tight What a mind Moonlight Another night You’re body against mine Wolf over mind Can we swim to that door? Get to the other world Spin the wheel of time to Stop all sins and crimes We’re just dreaming A little dream Hope is living in our sleep We’re just dreaming A little dream We’re hoping in our sleep We’re just dreaming A little dream We’re just dreaming A little dream
9.	Roadtripping 02:51	lyrics	buy track
The cold in my bones The leaves turn yellow Bathtub Blues Longing for mellow Every morning I want to go Get into the car and drive away far Chase the sun somewhere warm and be gone Drive the night to the stars Wake up in the sun Barefoot in the ocean We need the green Temperatures falling Away from daily deeds Summer is calling Every morning I want to go Get into the car and drive away far Chase the sun somewhere warm and be gone Drive the night to the stars Wake up in the sun Barefoot in the ocean
10.	Algae in the Sand 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Dark days These are dark days I’m strolling around Talking to walls I’m strolling around My heart falls Hear me Stop this Dried up in the sand Can’t move Can’t see the end Dark days These are dark days I’m strolling around Talking to walls I’m strolling around My heart falls Dried up in the sand Can’t move Can’t see the end Hear me Stop this

Seasons passing We grow old Once little children We turn into gold Blossom Rain Summer Days Snowflakes We wait Meanings passing We grow bold Once frightened children We turn into gold Blossom Rain Summer Days Snowflakes We wait
12.	Lovesong 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Slowed down By life Far out Outside Where are you? I see Your eyes through me Words won’t reach Where are you? I see Your eyes through me Can’t you hear? The time we spent Still I see no end I wouldn’t change a thing You’re my favourite human being Where are you? I can’t reach Your heart I freeze I wouldn’t change a thing Our adventures made us stick Together we will win I wouldn’t change a thing The time we spent Still I see no end I wouldn’t change a thing You’re my favourite human being I wouldn’t change a thing Not the fights not the grims Together we will win I wouldn’t change a thing I wouldn’t change a thing Not the fights not the grims I wouldn’t change a think You’re my favourite human being

about

Florence Besch Düsseldorf, Germany

Feel the discomfort of your own comfort zone, while the insight slowly shines through the window from outside: there can be no standstill. Florence Besch carries with a radical tenderness through shimmering melodic arrangements that can lead within a song from a warm summer day in the park to the uncanny search for one’s own place in the world. ... more
