lyrics

They told him this is the end. Time to go to bed.
He didn't know where he was and where he was going.
He didn't know who he even was.
The only thing he knew was the darkness of his room
He lost the little stars posted on the roof.
The tiny birds with their big eyes the roaring cars passing by.
Thorns and branches are grazing his face.
Thorns and branches graze his arms
Dark forests of noisy strangers are surrounding him
My own breath scares me.
Back and Forth in a terrible squealing.
Back and Forth in a terrible squealing
Back and Forth.

They don't understand what's wearing him down.
They don't understand these endless laments.
Hide me from the comings and goings of the crowd.
I grope for my way need you to light the house

Let him go away from this angry crowd
Make them go away from him now.
My ears are yelling. The tears are falling down
She's always lying. I swear I'm out of that.

about

BÄRLIN Lille, France

Bärlin transcends genre boundaries. Based on deep and enveloping bass loops that might remind cold wave and post-rock, the drums, clarinet/vocals and bass trio creates a one-of-a-kind energy blowing everything away in its path.

Even though the trio's approach can be reminiscent of Tuxedomoon, Morphine, Einstürzende Neubauten, or Portishead, it follows its own timeless quest with no equivalent.
