Oh Life 04:02
Life, oh life Please change for me I‘ve been so sad I don‘t want to be I feel that my soul is in need Of a change in reality Cannot keep going down at this speed What can I do? So many ways to lose ground Only one way to turn it around And I have to start with it now ‘Cause never won‘t do
 So Life, oh life Please change for me I‘ve been so sad I don‘t want to be You see many lovers around But you just can't figure it out Someone to elevate you beyond every doubt Isn‘t found And whenever the heart skips a beat ‘Cause of a beautiful soul that you meet The moment‘s so real But so fleeting And they disappear Then say Life, oh life Please change for me I‘ve been so sad I don‘t want to be Dark, lean times Be gone today I‘ve been so low I don‘t want to be Some new hope will come my way Sweep me up then fade away When the dream has been dreamed up I'll give in but I won't give up I'll get back up saying Life, oh life Please change for me I've been so sad I don't want to be Oh love, oh love Just make your way I've been so alone I don't want to be I don't want to be

Baby left me lonely Riding down a pitch black road My heart was made of steel My heart was made of gold since he ditched my metal I found another tone, said "I'm begging you to reconsider" Baby left me lonely Floating down a pitch black stream My heart was made of gold My float was made of steel Since I hit the bottom I can see things clear - said "I'm begging you to reconsider" Now I'm always lonely Running 'round with enemies Truth is made of gold Fake is made of steel Since I hit the city I can see things clear My dreams were made of air My dreams were made of air So was reality So was reality So was reality So was My dreams were made of air My dreams were made of air My dreams were made of air My dreams were made of air So was reality So was reality Ah tout mes rêves, Sont en fuite, sont en fuite Oh ah tout mes rêves, C'est tant pis, c'est tant pis Ah tout mes rêves, C'est tant pis, c'est tant pis

Needy Woman 04:00
I’ve been so very lonely Now I am full of need I wanna walk the earth With love surrounding me I’ve been so very empty Now I am full of space I wanna face the world Feeling something every day I need a special lover Who isn’t scared of light All of the ones I meet They see my need and hide Their voices on my mind He called me a needy woman Like there was something wrong with me Brushed his feelings off and walked Like it had all been me Needy, needy woman Was giving him a scare She's out to get someone Who knows how to be there Needy, needy woman Walking the earth Make way! Needy, needy woman Get out of my goddam way I found a little light Deep inside of me Brighter than the sun It walks the earth with me And this little light No one can take away You're hot and cold You come and go But it stays I need a special lover Who isn't scared of light Who isn't scared of light Who isn't scared? Who isn't scared? Who isn't scared? Who isn't scared? I need a special lover I need a special lover

The wind will tear the rose apart The sun will melt the arctic into pieces (pieces) The rain will wash the day Will wipe the earth away But someting in our hearts will always stay As tender as a rose A tiny seed of hope That generation next will save the day And get a grip on climate change

A Name 03:23
The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart Easier to name the cause that failed Easier than trying to get it changed, yea To name and name and name To name and name and name Take a look around the room And you will find that love is see through (U can't see it no) 'Cos nothing matters when the future lies behind Of all we've been through To find a name A name a name a name Yea find a name A name a name a name U wanna find a name A name a name a name So push me back into my blues It’s exactly what I need from you See it's easier to name the cause that is already failed To name and name and name To name and name and name To name and name and name The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart The wind will tear the rose apart

Jamais 03:22
Autant que tu me manques Quand tu pars loin d'ici Des autres mondes m'attendent Dont tu ne fais pas partie Oh et quand tu me gardes Dans tes bras tous serrés Je sens cet ennui qui grande Oh, un de ces jours, ça va m'étouffer Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Hélas, hélas Un jour lointain je pars Et tu seras libéré de moi Hélas, hélas Autant que tu me parle De notre avenir tout rosé Je commence à le craindre Tes mots ne peuvent rien sauvé De plus en plus lointaine Je prends le chemin vers la nuit Oh cet amour qui traine Un de ces jours j'en devrai mourir Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Hélas, hélas Un jour lointain je pars Et tu seras libéré de moi Hélas, hélas Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Jamais, jamais, jamais Jamais je ne resterai Jamais je ne resterai Jamais je ne resterai

Walls 04:35
You oughta cross over, you know The world is against you from where you’re standing Chopping the hand giving food to the soul Poor little baby All the times you said no And you didn't know why All the times you said no Without knowing you did Yeah yeah yeah yeah That's walls Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah That's walls You oughta forgive me, you know City life don’t leave enough time for grieving The souls are in tow and we all just keep leaving Where is your black veils? I just don’t believe it All the times you said no And you didn’t know why All the times you said no Just to stay in control All the times you said no Just to say something Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah That's walls Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah That's walls Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah That's walls Walls Walls Walls You're building a fortress Soon all your own forces Will come sliding right back at you From those walls At first you don't feel it But you're growing secret Makes you lonely And tied in those walls Walls Walls Walls Walls (Walls)

I’ve started a fire Burns my life down More and more ashes Cover the ground All My Good Thoughts Are Gone You wanna love me Oh, it’s bringing me down Now you're getting sulky Cause you don’t know how I’m counting on no one Can't you see, I can’t count The times I’ve been let down Why are you still around? I wish I could have some Of that magic that’s keeping you Loving and grounded see All My Good Thoughts Won’t spare you From The Fire That Makes All New I’ve started a fire I’ve started a fire I’ve started a fire I’ve started a fire Someone call the fire squad (Started a fire) I don't know what to do about it (Started a fire) Someone call the fire squad (Started a fire) I don't know what to do without it Counting on no one Counting on no one Counting on no one Counting on no one Counting on no one Counting on no one Counting on no one Counting on no one

Oh - oh - oh Stepping 'round the pit again - oh Push ur luck to fall back in There you go Self-pity-man - oh Nothing I can u teach 'cus - u know, u know As I’m watching u crash again oh oh The lie that u are building - the tools are old Self-pity-man - this is getting old Self-pity-man - oh Oh - oh Ain't it pride that's keeping you from growing? Eyes on the moon - can’t even look at what ur standing in It’s there, look there - oh how I’ve been urging you I care, still do - but I’m done getting hurt by you Oh Self-pity-man Oh Self-pity-man U bore me with your frequency - I’ll go But promise I will never close the door So that on the day the sun cuts through the mist Some light may shine into your pit

I know where I'd rather be Somewhere you are next to me Wake up and my sorrow's gone What a feeling Woke up to the sorrow gone What a feeling I know that you'd rather stay But you have to go your way Life is short and full of pain What a feeling I woke up to the sorrow gone What a feeling

I'm living in dark times All innocent are fools Anyone still smiling Just hasn't heard The gruesome news Talk about a good thing What good do good things do? If nobody is worried We pave the way For gruesome truth Watching from a safe place Touching glass, touching wood Oo we need to change this Touching glass, as if that could I came to the city In times of chaos and of greed A human-made catastrophe I partied between battles Went to sleep amongst the killers And all my loving is careless And I'm growing callous My eyes are shut daytime and bloodshot in the night I struggle to make sense From lovesong to silence
I see a battlefield That's growing out in front of me as I'm Watching from a safe place Touching glass, touching wood Oo we need to change this Touching glass As if that could As if that could As if that could
12.
My eyes are windows I live alone My heart is an open door My thoughts are home I was never with you You were never there But I saw through my window I saw you and I cared No more hiding In the window Pull those curtains to the side When you need somewhere To turn to When you need somewhere to hide Well I'm ready at the window Already at the door All my thoughts are with you You are not alone All my thoughts are with you You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone

about

Evelinn Trouble releases her sixth album «Season Indicators»

About the album:

Initially, Evelinn Trouble just wanted to make some space on her harddrive, but the undertaking sparked a creation-process that led to her sixth full-length album. Since August 2023, the singer has been releasing a new song every six weeks, the restless pace forcing her to face and wrestle her inner perfectionist: «I could spend years on a song, chasing its perfect form. With the regular deadlines on Season Indicators I've had to learn to let go and trust my songs, no matter their current state.» The trust-exercise has led to an eclectic new sound: the album seems wilder, more playful and less conceptual than its award-winning predecessor «Longing Fever». But also on her sixth studio album, Trouble does what her fans love her for: using her voice as a conductor of emotions to electrify her listeners, contrasting genres as she pleases and conjuring up worlds in three minutes, that other artists use an album length for. Does she ever take a break? Trouble says she's already entered her next cycle of creation. «This album has radically changed the way I work as a producer. I don't overthink as much and it's more fun. So I don't wanna leave the studio anytime soon». But she will have to, at least for her album-release-show, where she will perform the «Season Indicators» in duo with the multi-instrumentalist Mario Hänni and guests on two exclusive nights at Waxy Bar Zurich. A little celebration for a personal landmark, before she dissappears into the studio again.

About the songs:

The album «Season Indicators» is a wild mix of the many facets of Evelinn Trouble's music. The euphoric «Jamais» - her first song in french and written for a film, sounds like she entered a time-machine and landed herself in the 60ies. The grunge-anthem «Started A Fire» features Trouble's dark, iconic guitar-sound and will appear in the swiss hit-series «Tschugger» in the fall of 2024. A big highlight is the duet with the singer Dino Brandão on the eerie «Reconsider». In the studio, the two are neighbours and work door to door, on this song they are playful singing partners and lure their listeners into a psychedelic soundworld that's slowly escalating, like a neon caleidoscope gone rogue.
The fragile ballad «My Eyes Are Windows» is a heartwarming ode to solitude and will appear in the french rom-com «Les histoires d'amour de Liv. S». Even the superstar Faber lends his exceptional voice to Trouble's music in the cool, charged, slow-grooving «Self-Pity Man». Surprisingly singing in English for the first time and pleading to the «Self-Pity Man» to get up and seek help. «Needy Woman», another song that reflects on the downsides of heteronormativity and binary gender roles, seems like its counterpart and has found many listeners since it's first release. The album holds many emotional, cathartic little gems of songs like the slow-building «Walls», the entrancing «What A Feeling» or the abrasive anti-war anthem «Dark Times (To Those Born After)», that Trouble wrote in hommage to the famous poem of the same name by playwright Bertolt Brecht. Eclectic and playful, unpredictable like the seasons in a world of climate change: «Season Indicators» is Evelinn Trouble at her wildest.
