1. The Times Are Always New
by Corny Held  
3:06 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Martin Wesolowski: bass
Micha El Dilly: e-guitar
Matthias Scheel: percussion

lyrics

Do you believe in honesty
Do you believe in lies
Do you believe that you ore free
Do you think you are wise
Do you live in a world of ease
Or in a world of cries
And can there be eternal peace
Or only war in disguise
It's a new time coming
With the feeling right back inside
A new time coming - all the time

Do you believe in fantasy
Do you find life in sighs
Do you believe in wishes
And the lights in children's eyes
Do you find joy in golden leaves
Do you listen to the breeze
Do you tell the age old trees
The truth, whatever it is

It's a new time coming
With the feeling right back inside
A new time coming - all the time

The poets of the former times
They used to have insights
And now they're but complaining
'bout nothing they can find
Do you care or never mind
Do you know what to do
Do you sometimes blame yourself
For the times are always new
and it's a new time coming
for:
The times are always new
Do you put up with the old or see
that the times are always new

2. Winter Blues
by Corny Held  
3:26 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitar, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

The fog is frosty around the gluvine stall,
it is dark and cold outside
Folks go shopping at the mall,
the shops are bright with light.
There are sales and presents and lovely things
like plastic toys or diamond rings.
Nobody needs them, that is true
But it's fun to look and helps to kill that winter blues.

Chase that winter blues away

The winter solstice night is long,
there are parties every day.
That is good for socializing,
to laugh and dance the chill away.
The people are nice and eat delicious things
and enjoy a lot of pretty colorful drinks,
wearing fancy clothes and trendy shoes
so they can forget and overcome that winter blues

Chase that winter blues away

In the streets big flakes whirl in the storm,
They're empty, hostile, feel forlorn.
But the pub's alive with cheerful songs
folks can listen to or sing along.
The drinks are hot, the mood all right,
that place is good for a winter night.
There's friends, and games, a quiz, and booze
to warm you up and to defeat that winter blues.

Chase that winter blues away

3. Lace Around the Lake
by Corny Held  
3:13 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

The trees are white and stand in line
Tike lace around the lake
The sun is cold, but tries to shine
Red rays upon short days

The forest now looks transparent
No good place to survive
The ice is black and treacherous
But life defiantly strives

Views to behold are in the cold
Hidden spirits can unfold
No trouble, no strain, no duties remain
Essentials reveal. Take Pause and feel
What is real


In times like these it's hard to tell
How sleep and death may differ
It's some kind of enchanted peace
That magnifies the shiver

The silent beauty casts ist spells
On those who dare surrender
And they can hear what spirits tell
- old wisdom to remember

Views to behold are in the cold
Hidden spirits can unfold
No trouble, no strain, no duties remain
Essentials reveal. Take Pause and feel
What is real


Listen to the wordless lyrics
Feel serenity unwind
Gain new power, ease your mind
Find what you've always tried to find

This time is short and fragile though
Maybe forgotten fast
Catch some precious magic moments
And store them where they last

Views to behold are in the cold
Hidden spirits can unfold
No trouble, no strain, no duties remain
Essentials reveal. Take Pause and feel
What is real

4. Snow
by Corny Held  
2:52 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, all instruments

lyrics

The year is over
some plans have come real
and some others remain a dream

You can look back
at events and assume
what's ahead from the things you see

Snow is falling all around
where we wander, on the ground
and we don't know where we are bound

The past has gone
and the present has stalled
we don't know what the future brings

It hides in thoughts
or ideas, maybe in snow,
flying fast on its silent wings

Snow is falling all around
where we wander, on the ground
we cannot know where we are bound

Do we need
what we got, do we get
what we need to live and survive

Let's take time
take a break, think and weigh,
change, take over, we can decide

Snow is falling all around
where we wander, on the ground
no-one knows it where are bound

Snow is falling - And we wonder

5. Spring
by Corny Held  
3:09 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, flute, guitar, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

Spring is in the air - All the birds are there
and the bumble bees, and the pollen of the trees

And the grey turned blue, and the yellow shines
from the sun and the tulips and the dandelions

And you can feel it:
It is spring rolling round in the air, on the ground
it just can be found everywhere
and you know
Spring Spring Spring Spring
Spring Spring Spring is there


And the violets' smell is sweet and strong
and the haze is pink and full of song

The breezes are warm and carry hopes and plans
over puddles the gnats enjoy their dance

And you can feel it:
It is spring rolling round in the air, on the ground
it just can be found everywhere
and you know
Spring Spring Spring Spring
Spring Spring Spring is there


And the ice cream parlours open soon
the cats sing love songs to the moon

And the grass turns green and the tulips bloom
and the groundhogs wake up and the rabbits groom

And you can feel it: It is spring rolling round in the air, on the ground
it just can be found everywhere
and you know
Spring Spring Spring Spring
Spring Spring Spring is there


And the girls leave their winter coats at home
And the guys can't leave the girls alone

And the year is young, everybody's sprung
The days shine like pearls in a lustrous world

And you can feel it:
It is spring rolling round in the air, on the ground
it just can be found everywhere
and you know
Spring Spring Spring Spring
Spring Spring Spring is there

6. Spring For Love
by Corny Held  
3:00 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

There's a time for everything
And a time for nothing
There's a time to relax
And a time for stress
A time for socializing
And another for loneliness
There's a time for grief
And a time to leave

But one thing is for sure
Spring time is for love

There are seasons for everything
And seasons for nothing
Seasons for people
And seasons for the Gods
Seasons for sleeping
And sesons for fun
Seasons for staying
and seasons to run

But one thing is for sure
Spring time is for love

There are times for everybody
There are times nobody wants
There are seasons for silence
there are times to be sad
seasons to remember
and a time to forget
a time for joy
and maybe later to regret

But one thing is for sure
Spring time is for love


There's a time to think things over,
And a time to change
Times to be happy
And times that are strange
A time to laugh
and a time to cry
a time to forget
and a time to ask why

But one thing is for sure
Spring time is for love

But one thing is for sure
It must be spring for love
Spring for love

lyrics

Bald ist Ostern, wir haben ne Feier
Und ein Problem - wer versteckt die Eier?

Dickes Ei - Grünes Ei - Einerlei - Ei

Ich guck, da sitzt schon mitten im Grase
der mit den langen Ohren - der Osterhase
Ich geh hin, doch der Typ ist weg
Und da liegt ein dickes grünes Ei im Dreck

8. Summer
by Corny Held  
4:32 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitars, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

Summertime coming
with the long dusty days
Everyone sweating
Time to laze
Summertime rolling round
all the moments get slow
holiday feeling
Time to doze

and I enjoy it 'cause I can
sleep out in the sun when I want it
in summer

Summer is coming
with the hot starry nights
and in case you can't sleep you see
the glowworms' lights
Summertime's rolling round
with a shimmering heat
gnats & flies dancing
in the shade of the cherry trees

and I enjoy it 'cause I can
sleep out in the sun when I want it
in summer
sit out in the sun when I want it in summer

Summertime coming
Pools are all full of folks
Everyone's going out
queues of cars on the roads

But I ain't leaving 'cause I can
sleep out in the sun when I want it
in summer
sit out in the sun when I want it
in summer
sleep out in the sun when I want it in summer

9. Summer Storm
by Corny Held  
3:50 min.  
(English)
Axel Wagner: drums
Jürgen Grewing: e-guitar
Volker Piske: bass
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar

lyrics

Big dark clouds are flying around
rain starts falling on the ground
winds caress the swaying trees
they dance and sing and clap their leaves

the pubs get full and the streets deserted
and inside the folks are singing, I heard it

they go: nanananananananana...
'cause the rain is warm like the summer wind
the rain is warm in a summer storm.

The rhythm of the thunder beats
like a rocksong through the empty streets
and the wind is wailing a tune of trance
on the edges of the garden fence

in the flashlight-show of the thunderstorm
the shadow-ghosts appear and they dance along.

they go: nanananananananana...
'cause the rain is warm like the summer wind
the rain is warm in a summer storm.

In a summer storm all the world is swinging
in a summer storm every thing is singing
All of nature is rocking and the mood is good
and the rain is just warm in a summer storm

10. Wild Mountain Thyme
by Corny Held  
4:12 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitars, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

Oh, the summer-time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin',
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

And we'll all go together,
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower
By yon pure, crystal fountain,
And round it I will pile
All the wild flowers of the mountain;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I will range through the wilds
And the deep land so dreary
And return with the spoils
To the bower o' my dearie;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

If my true love will not come
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

11. Indian Summer Lullaby
by Corny Held  
5:16 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitars, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

Huge spiders' webs
Trying to catch
Summernight drerams
and sticky they bind ease
In dew drops at their end
Fading sunlight is canned
Still life ahead
Peace and threat newlywed

See the wind in the trees, feel the breeze
See the haze in the says, rime on the ways
Feel the cold in the night, the low, low light
The air is full of drizzle, but even that's all right
It's just fall coming round to calm you down
And the storms sing out their dirge

Hold ot to smoke
Indian summer dope
Thoughts fly down south
in the shape of big black clouds
Joy moving inside
Days are swallowed by night
Still life ahead
the ground a shrouded bed

See the wind in the trees, feel the breeze
See the haze in the says, rime on the ways
Feel the cold in the night, the low, low light
The air is full of drizzle, but even that's all right
It's just fall coming round to calm you down
And the storms sing out their dirge

Yeah, it's fall coming round to calm you down
It is fall coning round to calm you down
With a soft hand on your shoulder you can't turn it down
Just hear the storms lull out their dirge
With the spell of sirens' songs: it's fall that's coming round
With its soft hand and the voice of summer fall is coming round
Yeah, it's just fall coming round to calm you down
Now go out and hear the storms lull out their dirge
It's a lullaby when the storms sing their dirge

Don't turn around, don't turn me down
Don't just drop me like a leaf in the alley
Don't turn around, don't turn me down

Don't just drop me like a leaf in the street
I will fly away

If you drop me like a tree a leaf I will fly away

13. Downtown
by Corny Held  
4:44 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitars, bass
Axel Wagner: drums

lyrics

It was Indian summer in the city around
The air warm and fresh, and full of sounds
I just went for a walk in the park downtown
There's lake and a bar and some ants on the ground

I went down, down, down - down downtown
I went down, down, down - down to relax
I went down, down, down - down downtown
I went down, & found - I was behexed

By the lake was an elf between the huge willow trees
He was riding a dragonfly to fish in the streams
But there was no fish, no thing to be seen
& the light of his eyes, it was flickering green

His eyes were a-glaze, his face was a maze,
& his grief, it was hard to believe
He had caught only fear, the water was clear
What he said, I could hardly hear

He'd been trying to fish for love and faith
and respect and hope and a wish
for peace and good days, for joy and fun,
but those fish had gone, there were none

The elf calmly said with a tear in his eye
This lake must have been poisoned, it is sure gonna die
Looking puzzled, he vanished without saying goodbye
& dusk slowly fell with the moon passing by

I went down, down, down - down downtown

I went down, down, down - to enjoy the light
I went down, down, down - & found just night
I went down, down, down - down to laze
I went down, down, down - & found just haze

I went down, down, down - to sit in the sun
I went down and found - it wasn't really fun
I went down to breathe - late summer air
I went down, down, down - & now I feel scared

14. Sing With Me
by Corny Held  
4:03 min.  
(English)
Corny Held: lead voc., a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Thieme: bass
André Urban: e-guitar

lyrics

In a frosty night in winter an old witch came riding along
She stopped her broomstick when she saw me and said: Girl, you're so wrong.
You're wearing golden bracelets cause your eyes no longer shine
and collect dead things around yourself so you got something you can call "mine".

and she said: Ride, ride with me ride, ride, ride along
She said: Ride, ride, and fly with me just for fun, like in a song.

In a rainy night in springtime a wise wizard came rining along
He stopped his horse when he saw me and said: you need to be strong.
You rely on what you're seeing you depend on what you need
But the ground on which you're standing It's a mirage, it'll soon be gone

and he said: Dance, dance with me dance, dance, dance along
he said: move your feet, dance with me just for fun, like in a song.
In a hot summernight in a sleepless dream the devil emerged from a cloud
He was the cutest guy I had evr seen he was charming and wise, no doubt
I just couldn't detest him, he was human at all and he made me feel good for a while
I enjoyed him around, and his gifts, and his time and his body - why shouldn't I?

and he said: Dive, dive with me dive, dive, dive along
dive deeper than all seas just for fun, like in a song

In a stormy night in a howling fall there was a knock upon the wind
Then I opened up my empty hall and a handsome young man came in
He said his name was Jesus and on his shoulder sat a white dove
and he handed me his bundle he gave me peace, and his love.

and he said: Sing, sing with me Sing, sing, sing along just for fun, sing a song.
