about

What the song is about:

We humans are observers. We learn by looking at the world around us. And every now and then, some things seem inexplicable. Then our thoughts spin in circles and we try to understand.
If you then have the courage to look past the obvious and change your perspective, you get the chance to grow and see the world with different eyes.

With the song perspective we release an uncompromising and honest ballad. Vocals and piano were recorded together live in the now closed Cafe 'Das Eclat' in Schorndorf, Germany. The moment was magical and we decided to use this raw take for the single instead of producing the full track in the studio. Only a few subsequently and carefully recorded instruments where added later to underline the unique mood.

lyrics

Lyrics:

When I once looked at the ground
I discovered something I still think about
And I’m still struggling to explain
it makes me wonder if I’m still sane

and when it all
doesn’t make no sense
maybe we just need to change
and when it all
doesn’t make no sense
maybe we just need to change
to change our perspective

What makes us different from them
What’s so special ‘bout us then?
‘Cause when you’re watching from above
their lives seem so similar to ours

They rush around with no direction as it seems
toil until their final heartbeat
they struggle with problems bigger than themselves
and in the end it seems like nothing remains

and when it all
doesn’t make no sense
maybe we just need to change
and when it all
doesn’t make no sense
maybe we just need to change
to change our perspective

PHI Esslingen, Germany

The Greek letter 'PHI' stands for the golden ratio in mathematics, arts and architecture. In this sense, the band combines soul, funk and rock into a fusion that finds its roots in indie rock. This sounds familiar and yet somehow completely different. Handmade, self-written songs with English lyrics about true-to-life socio-critical snapshots meet emotions and the pure joy of playing. ... more
