Red Little Paper Kite

[Vers I]
Sparrows fly at the north tower bay
On the clocktower the sun settles down
The waves break my thoughts break out
A boat sails into the dusky clouds
[Vers I]
The wind blows the white sand away
Our footprints slowly disappear
Time flies but have I grown up by now
A seagull flies into the dusky clouds
[Chorus]
And where the wind takes us I’ll find out
Sometimes I get lost along the way
In this godless world we forgot how to pray
Then there is no one at my side
Except for you my red little paper kite
[Vers III]
The lighthouse shines our passageway
On the clocktower the sparrows find their place
The night falls in my thoughts fade out
A star shines through the dusky clouds
[Bridge]
Somedays we get lost in our life
Dealing with the ever changing tides
But with the horizon in our sight
We fly together our paper kites

[Vers I]
On the stairwell my neighbourgh’s girl asks where is the wind when it doesn’t blow
Is there a place it can go
[Vers II]
I explain to her it’s like with the stars when they disapear they stay in our hearts
I show your picture and ask her
[Chorus I]
Have you seen the stars last night
They looked so warm and oh so bright
Have you listend to what they said
They told the stories left unsaid left unsaid
[Vers III]
I tell her about you and time passes by, like an hourglass
sands of time
Grieving with a silver lining
[Vers IV]
What remains is the love of your time it makes the wind blow
the stars shine
She takes my hand and asks me
[Chorus II]
Have you seen the stars last night
They looked so warm and oh so bright
Have you listend to what they said
They told the stories left unsaid
Yes, I see the stars every night
They look so warm and oh so bright
I listend to what they said
They told the stories left unsaid
[Bridge I]
You told your story you lived your life
You saw the glass and not what’s inside
For every story there’s a star
So pick yours tell who you are
[Bridge II]
You told your story you lived your life
You saw the glass and not what’s inside
For every story there’s a star
You picked yours told who you are
[Outro]
And now you are my star
Where ever you are
You are my star

Pete's Garden

[Vers I]
I walk with you by the hand
Down the path past the old well
You tell me it’s time to say farewell
[Vers II]
I look to you at my side
A smile of grace a tear in your eye
I tell you it’s too early to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Farewell Pete’s garden farewell to these days
A smile for each memory you gave us
And they’ll never fade a away
They’ll never fade away
[Vers III]
I sit on your wooden bench
Watching you next to the pound
You tell me let’s walk one last round
[Bridge]
Just like you
You will always be a part
of these memories
And the love in my heart
[Outro]
I sit alone in my garden
Remembering Pete’s garden
My grandfather’s Garden

Flowers on my Gravestone
04:54

|
[Vers I]
The rain steams off the streets
Rising with the spring sun
Waiting for the blossoms to sleep
Tomorrow never knows when our time has come
[Vers II]
The chimney smokes into the dawn
Lost in the warm summer wind
Waiting for autumn leaves to fall
Tomorrow never knows when our time has come
[Chorus]
Time only knows when our stories have begun
And when the line breaks the image moves on
When silence has spoken put on my gravestone
A flower from each friend
[Vers III]
The fog climbs out of the woods
Rising with the sound of the trees
Waiting for the winter snow to fall
Tomorrow never knows when our time has come
[Brdige]
If you plant a flower you believe in tomorrow
The more you know the less you feel
Dont let time be your sorrow

Woman in the Rain
03:41
|

|
[Vers I]
Woman in the rain
Umbrella wide open
Days become colder
Life’s become shorter
The sound of the rain
Makes her smile
Reminds her of home
The North Sea coastline
[Vers II]
Woman in the rain
Umbrella still open
Walls become bigger
Hope’s become smaller
The sound of the rain
Makes her cry
Reminds her of home
And the family she’s left behind
[Chorus]
She dreams away
Way back home
Dreams of place where she can belong
She listens to the rain
Sound of her home
[Vers III]
Woman in the rain
Umbrella now closed
Body becomes colder
Feelings getting warmer
The sound of the rain
Makes her remember
The loving goodbyes
in the rain of last November

My Best Friend
04:01

|
[Vers I]
Pictures in the drawer memories locked away
Feeling like an island where no-one can stay
Tell me how do you do
[Vers II]
Patience like the ocean heart warm as the sun
No standing still always on the run
Tell me how do you do
[Chorus]
I simply wrote this song because I don’t know how to say
That I love you every single day
People seem to care for how much we look the same
God knows all too well that we go our separate ways
Before our time has come to an end
I pour my love in music my best friend
[Vers III]
Always there for others supporting where you can
You put yourself aside and everything you plan
Tell me how do you do
[Vers IV]
Some days you come closer others you stay far
You build wall around you and who you really are
Tell me how do you do
[Outro]
I could do it all alone but in the end
I will always value your guiding hand
So let me make it clear to you from deep inside
I’ll always be your son I’ll stay at your side

[Vers I - Sara]
When you’ve grown up
And you read these lines
For you about you
At the start of your life
Then walk with me
To the dunes
[Vers I - Max]
Now I’ve grown up
And read your lines
For me. About me
At the end of your life
Now I walk with you
To the dunes.
[Chorus]
We walk this path together
With the sea in our sight
The end, we don’t see
But as long as you’re with me
I know that one day
We will arrive.
We know that one day
We will arrive
[Vers II - Sara]
When you understand.
The meaning of these lines
How much I care
About you and our life
Then walk with me
To the dunes
[Vers II - Max]
I start to understand
The meaning of these lines
How much you cared
About us and our life
Now I walk with you
To the dunes
[Vers III - Max]
I remember you
And sing these lines
With all the love
I have in my life
When I walk with you
To the dunes

The Swing
03:49
|
|||
|
[Vers I]
A restless night
A lullaby
Our shadows dance
on bedroom walls
A soft light
Dawn in sight
Our hands touch when
the melody stalls
[Pre-Chorus I]
Where does this affection come from
Is this the dream where I belong
[Chorus]
Life passes by
But when it’s time
We write our story in a song
From our favourite words
Of the poems we’ve heard
Like we’ve known each other all along
[Post-Chorus]
Then we sit down on the swing
Flying up in the air so blue
And let our dream begin
[Vers II]
A small café
A walk at the bay
We get lost when
the leaves fall
A simple smile
A house in style
Our days swing by
till silence calls
[Pre-Chorus II]
It’s the small things in life
That make these days so bright
[Bridge]
Up into the air
Out into the wide
Until we can see
Beyond the lemon trees
[Outro]
Then we sit down on the swing
flying up in the air so blue
Isn’t it the most pleasant thing
To go up and down on the swing
And let our dream begin
And let our dream begin

Max Berend St. Gallen, Switzerland
His music captures his inner world with warm guitar sounds, dreamy synths, a cold melodious piano, a raw sandy voice and honest pictorial lines about life. Sometimes he shares his inner world in a soft and easy manner, sometimes rough and brutally direct. But always in a stirring way to feel comfortable with. A world, which sometimes also can act like a mirror for the listener. ... more
