Most of All 03:25
i wish i was a dinosaur some million years ago bigger than the trees and skyscrapers on the city streets i wish i was a mountain goat jumping there from stone to stone not afraid of eagles in the sky most of all i don’t want to be alone ‘cause being human takes its toll on me i wish i was a little fish swimming through the seas the confidence of a shark and not afraid of deep and dark i wish i was a busy bee making honey for our tea and living with the sisters and the queen most of all i don’t want to be alone ‘cause being human takes its toll on me sing with me i won’t be free until i try our songs in harmonies and rock'n'roll until the pain goes by i wish i wish i wish that i had so much to give that the world would greet me with open arms most of all i don’t want to be alone

Rivers 04:04
there’s this thought in my mind and the blue sky is mocking me i’m blinded by the lights while my heart beats black as the night i put on my best dress honey i’m such a mess there’s only a memory keeping me here rivers rivers rivers the tighter you hold on to me the faster i run your most beautiful side is your make-up undone your face drowning in floods is thine true air you give me a shiver with your cold, cold stare rivers rivers rivers i bathed in your rivers you know oh i bathed in your rivers you know now there’s a new dawn a new day and it’s washing me away, away i’ve loved and despised you both at the same time for holding me back and for letting me fly your waters have drowned me and swept me ashore your river runs through me and whispers encore rivers rivers rivers i bathed in your rivers you know oh i bathed in your rivers you know now there’s a new dawn a new day and it’s washing me away, away in your rivers i drowned your bubbly murmur, like marbles, sweet and sound rivers rivers i drowned in your rivers you know oh i drowned in your rivers you know now there’s a new dawn, a new day and it’s washing me away away…

it’s been hard on us this time we spent together yet alone we’ve been talking to strangers like we’re lovers on the phone and though i’ve been so quiet i have so much to say and the truth will come to light anyway and wouldn’t you believe wouldn’t you believe i know i’ve done you wrong and wouldn’t you believe i love you still in spite of all the things i’ve done i sleep to clear my head but your face keeps coming back my feet tied to the bed my head’s a stone from all the drinks i’ve had and i know it’s all my fault i just didn’t see another way there’s both relief and regret at the end of everyday and wouldn’t you believe wouldn’t you believe i know i’ve done you wrong and wouldn’t you believe i love you still in spite of all the things i’ve done would you please i know i’ve made my peace and you played your part with that broken heart and that’s alright and the dreams we shared well i haven’t heard them in a while oh the dreams we shared well i haven’t heard them in a while

about

Amelie Tobien Vienna, Austria

Amelie may well have been born and raised in the mountainous climes of Salzburg, educated in the wine regions of Bordeaux, and found her voice after closing time within the whiskey soaked bars of Dublin. But the truth is, for Amelie, home isn’t where she’s been, or even where she’s headed. It’s where she is right now. ... more
