about

A blonde boy lets his red little paper kite fly at the Dutch Wadden islands. While flying his kite, he dreams away and asks himself: What will it be like, when I have grown up? Today, this boy has grown up, still dreaming he now asks himself: Have I grown up yet? In the debut single Red Little Paper Kite, the Swiss-Dutch singer- songwriter Max Berend let’s his kite fly again, longing for his childhood memories, the understanding of who he really is and encouraging others to go on a journey to themselves - to find their red little paper kite.

lyrics

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

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

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

Red little paper kite ohoh Red little paper kite ohoho
ohohoho

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

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

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

Red little paper kite ohoh Red little paper kite ohoho
Red little paper kite ohoh Red little paper kite

Sometimes we get lost in our life
dealing with the ever changing tides
But with the horizon in our sight
we fly together our red little paper kites

But 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

Red little paper kite ohoo Red little paper kite ohoho
Red little paper kite ohoho Red little paper kite
ohohohoho ohoho ohoho ohohohoooo

about

Max Berend image

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
