Raymon In my humble opinion, on of the best indie bands out there. Andrea and Dick work wonders in the studio and take the opposite journey than almost all other two person bands "minimalistic" route. Favorite track: Life is good.

...and this summer ends with a bang. You can see the autumn leaves, leaving its place. I know that you found what you were looking for. Something else going faster than this slow-beating heart.

Life is good 03:38
We move like shadows in the night, keeping it simple. We move like sparrows in the spring, and everything is alright. Life is good today, don't you worry, no. Every direction is a new way home. We move like shadows in the night, on the streets where we used to live, and we are keeping it simple. I think you know. I used to be a sparrow, I used to be your heart and light.

Smoke 02:56
We denied every last line in the hope to make it fade away, over reacting like the last time that i saw your face as you walked away. And as I am burning down the evidence, the smoke turns into the ghost of you. Every now and then I pray for the rain to come down and wash away the smoke that turned into the ghost of you.

Let go 03:57
and here we go again and I'm drunk as hell and the sky is not as bright as it used to be. Why can't I let you go forever and here we go again but there´s nothing left all the city lights have gone black oh, why can't I let you go I will sink to the bottom like a stone on a chain. I wanna know if you´ve got some love for me I wanna know if you´ve got something. oh sometimes I wish that I could see it. In the morning light your shadow casts upon me and it feels so right

Hawaii 03:51
oh when the morning light comes you´ll see i´m not glowing I always held my head up high watching the world from the rooftops but something else came along and changed my view as you look for heart and desire I look for everything else oh when the morning lights comes you´ll see everything is different from faces to places and everything else around you i know i don't feel it so i don't have to pretend as you look for heart and desire i look for everything else you think it´s so easy but these times are hard i know what i´m looking for and it´s not here

Moby Dick 03:45
I think i found it way out, lost at sea oh these things never last i´ve got it all in this head somewhere something found, something missing I can´t keep the track of time i think i´m losing it now I thought It was the only way out and there´s never an easy way but if i´ve got it I´ve got it all and that´s always something You thought you knew me but I changed over time oh these things never last kept you in distance and oh kept you so close and now we´re burning towards the end

Copenhagen 03:44
I´m gonna build myself a new home far away from this gonna leave a door open for anyone to come in and eveytime the sun comes up i wonder what it feels like to wake up where you are to be there where you are everythings not lost it just takes me a lifetime to get there give me the love you have give me the love you have and even if i walk a thousand miles to reach the point where I find nothing i don't mind because i know i can walk a thousand more just to wake up where you are to be there where you

Alaska 02:28
I cannot stand that look in your eyes, So I sit back and wonder why I run in loops and I can't stop I run in loops and I can't stop and I can't stand no more "falling on my knees". But i won't let go I won't be long before I see That I won't forget , but I will never go back I run in loops and I can't stop I run in loops and I can't stop and I can't stand no more "falling on my knees". But i won't let go

“Luke” is a collection of 11 songs heading in different directions while sharing a common watermark thanks to the band’s straight forward approach.

Influenced by indie rock as well as alt-folk, I Used To Be A Sparrow created a very personal record in which the key element of simplicty cohexist with clever arrangements,
