It has taken 2 years, but I proudly present the new Solo, "Before we part". Solo has made a next step, worth those 2 years waiting!

We started recording in Utrecht in October last year, got stuck in November and decided to finish the album at Tiny Telephone Studio in San Francisco, USA. Under the guidance of Scott Solter (Mountain Goats and Okkervil River) we've recorded our best songs yet.

Have a listen and tell us what you think!

"Before we part" will be released on 14th November.

Track Name: One moment
ONE MOMENT

WHEN LIFE FOLDS UPON ITSELF
YESTERDAY LIES ON THE SHELF
IT GATHERS DUST THEN DISAPPEARS

WINTERTIME COMES AROUND
WAY TOO SOON
FOR THE SUMMER SOUNDS ARE STILL RINGING IN YOUR EARS

YOU WANT TO LEAVE 3 O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING
NOT EVEN WEARING A COAT

I’LL GIVE YOU ONE MOMENT ON HOLD
WITHOUT GETTING STUCK
A PLACE TO REST
A THOUGHT OUTSIDE YOUR HEAD AND A COMING IN FROM THE COLD

THERE’S A MAZE BEHIND THE DOOR
YOU USED TO CALL OUR STREET
WE HAD A HISTORY, NOT ANYMORE

YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN WHEN
DON’T REMEMBER WHERE WE WENT
BUT I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT FELT LIKE LONG AGO

WHEN YOU DON’T BELONG TO THAT FACE IN THE MIRROR
I WILL REMAIN ALL THE SAME

I’LL GIVE YOU ONE MOMENT ON HOLD
WITHOUT GETTING STUCK
A PLACE TO REST
A THOUGHT OUTSIDE YOUR HEAD AND A COMING IN FROM THE COLD

YOU SAY YOU’RE NOT THERE
BUT YOU GOT TO BEAR WITH ME
WE WILL BE WE TO THE END
Track Name: Love always hopes
LOVE ALWAYS HOPES

AND WE TALK ABOUT A LOT
BUT WE TALK ABOUT IT NOT
NO, WE CAN’T GIVE UP TONIGHT
FOR THIS LOVE PROPELLED OUR LIVES
KNOT OUR TIES

WE ALL KNEW WE WANTED SOMETHING
THOUGH WE NEVER QUITE KNEW WHAT
BUT SHE STOLE OUR HEART AND SOUL
THEN WE NAMED HER ROCK AND ROLL
AND WE GAVE ALL

YES IT’S HER I’LL FOLLOW
I’LL FOLLOW TO THE END OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH THE SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES

OOH WE DREAMT OF BEING STARS
IT JUST NEVER GOT THAT FAR
SHE LOST INTEREST, LOST CONTROL
WE GREW UP, WE GOT OLD
ALMOST, ALMOST

AND IT’S HER I FOLLOW
I FOLLOW TO THE END OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH A SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
ITS THE SAME HEART, THE SAME SOAP
YES LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES

NEVER THAT SAME MISTAKE
NEVER LET HER KNOW
HERE WE GO, TO THE END
OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH A SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
ITS THE SAME HEART, THE SAME SOAP
YES LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
Track Name: Save me
SAVE ME

I TOO FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
I WAS STRUCK BY THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES
HELD YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU SPOKE TO ME
WAKE UP IT IS TIME TO RISE

YOU WANTED ME TO COME WITH YOU
AND YOU TOLD ME HOW IT COULD BE
WHEN I ARRIVE FOR YOU TAKE ME HOME
YOU WOULD BE THERE WAITING FOR ME

AND YOU SAVE ME WHENEVER YOU’RE NEAR
I WAS LOST WHEN YOU FOUND ME DEAR
YOU SAVE ME AND DRY MY TEARS
YOU MAKE ME

I TRIED TO WALK AND I FOUND MY FEET
AT THE DAWN OF ANOTHER NEW DAY
YOU TOOK ME DANCING IN THE STREETS
TO A SOUL SAID TO LEAD ME ASTRAY

YOU TELL THE TRUTH TO A SINGLE CHORD
AND I’M READY NOW TO BELIEVE
TOUCHED BY THE FLAME AND BORN AGAIN
FOR THE MESSAGE SEND IS RECEIVED

AND YOU SAVE ME WHENEVER YOU’RE NEAR
I WAS LOST WHEN YOU FOUND ME DEAR
YOU SAVE ME AND DRY MY TEARS
YOU MAKE ME

I NEED TO GO WITH YOU TO PLACES YET UNKNOWN
SHOW ME WHERE TO GO
HOW TO FIND YOU

YOU SAVE ME
WHENEVER I FEAR, TRUST IN YOU TO FIND ME DEAR
YOU SAVE ME AND DRY MY TEARS
YOU MAKE ME
Track Name: Who are you?
WHO ARE YOU?

HERE’S A FRIEND OF A FRIEND OF
NEVER SPOKE THE LAD BEFORE
HE IS ONLY IN HIS 10TH YEAR
I’M IN 12, SO HE’S IGNORED

SMILING EYES AND HE SAYS; MAYBE BABY
AND THEN WE LAUGH OUR HEADS OFF
IT’S LIKE HE PUTS HIS WORDS IN MY MOUTH
KIND OF ODD TO COME ACROSS
THE COSMIC TUMBLERS CLICKING INTO PLACE

WHO ARE YOU?
DID WE MEET BEFORE WE MET?
WHO ARE YOU?
I HAVEN’T FOUND MYSELF, NOT YET

WE’RE NOT TO BE SEPARATED
WE START A BAND AND PLAY IT COOL
DRESS IN UNISON, GET NOTICED
AND KISS THE SAME GIRL AFTER SCHOOL
WE MAKE A VIRTUE OF NECESSITY

WHO ARE YOU?
DID WE MEET BEFORE WE MET?
WHO ARE YOU?
I HAVEN’T FOUND MYSELF, NOT YET

BUT WHEN SHE ARRIVED, THAT CRUSH, THAT MADE YOUR LIFE
AND I MOVED AWAY
WE BECAME THAT OLD CLICHE
SOMETIMES WE MEET AND HAPPILY TALK SHOP
I CAN’T STOP THINKING

WHO ARE YOU?
HAVE WE EVER MET BEFORE?
WHO ARE YOU?
ARE YOU STILL THE SAME?
Track Name: Haven't you heard the news?
HAVEN’T YOU HEARD THE NEWS?

SEVEN THOUSAND MILES FROM HERE
FAR AWAY, YET SO NEAR
GUNS BECOME A PART
OF A PLAYGROUND PLAY

HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE TENDER GUN
KILLING KIDS AT COLUMBINE, ALL RERUN
IT HAPPENED ONLY YESTERDAY

HAVEN’T YOU HEARD THE NEWS?
A KILLER IS ON THE LOOSE
BUT WE ARE HERE TO STAY
WE’RE NOT AFRAID
IF EVER THEY NEEDED PROOF
STAND BY ME AND TELL THEM IT WILL NOT BE YOU

THANKS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT
SHOWING UP, NOT PETRIFIED
THANKS FOR SHOWING YOU HAVE NOT YET TAKEN FRIGHT

MILD AND MEEK THE POWERS THAT BLEED
A SAD BELIEF, THEIR SELF-DECEIT
VENGEANCE COMES TO THOSE THAT DON’T PRAY ANYWAY

HAVEN’T YOU HEARD THE NEWS?
A KILLER IS ON THE LOOSE
BUT WE ARE HERE TO STATE WE’RE NOT AFRAID
IF EVER THEY NEEDED PROOF
STAND BY ME AND TELL THEM IT WILL NOT BE YOU

AND IF YOU’RE BOTHERED
DON’T YOU BROTHER
I RELY ON YOU AND YOU CAN RELY ON ME
IT’S ONLY THE TWO OF US EVENTUALLY
IF EVER WE NEEDED PROOF
STAND BY ME AND TELL THEM IT WILL NOT BE YOU
Track Name: Maria
MARIA

SHE COMES AND SHE GOES
SHE TRAVELS IN WHISPERS
SHE’S KNOWN BY HER NAME, NOT BY HER FACE
THE LADY THAT CLEANS UP THE PLACE

SHE VISITS YOUR LIFE ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS
BUT NOT ON A BIRTHDAY, WHEN THE FAMILY IS THERE
SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR WAYS
THE LADY THAT CLEANS UP THE PLACE

SHE MEETS THE REMAINS
THE BOOKS AND THE PICTURES
THE SHOES IN THE KITCHEN
YOU’RE ALL AROUND
BUT SHE WILL BE GONE
THE MINUTE SHE’S FINISHED
THE LOVE SHE PUT IN IT
THAT WHERE SHE’S FOUND

MAYBE IT’S STRANGE
BUT THIS IS THE WAY MARIA IS LIVING HER LIFE DAY TO DAY
MAYBE IT’S ODD, BUT THIS IS HER LOT
A HOME BECOMES HER OWN

SHE COMES AND SHE GOES, TRAVELS IN WHISPERS
SURE YOU WILL MISS HER, IF YOU SEND HER AWAY
A SILENT GOODBYE
SHE’S JUST A BIT HOMESICK
BUT KNOWS THAT IT WON’T STICK
SHE WILL GET BY

MAYBE IT’S STRANGE
BUT THIS IS THE WAY MARIA IS LIVING HER LIFE DAY TO DAY
MAYBE IT’S ODD, BUT THIS IS HER LOT
A HOME BECOMES HER OWN
YOUR HOME BECOMES HER OWN
Track Name: Lost weekend
LOST WEEKEND

WHEN YOU’RE UP TO NO GOOD
BECAUSE YOU’RE MISUNDERSTOOD
I’LL TAKE YOU ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS, AWAY FOR GOOD
‘CAUSE YOUR DADDY’S BEEN RUDE
CROSS THE SEAS LIKE A SAILOR WOULD
OVER THE EDGE OF THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD

WHEN YOU BURN WITH DESIRE
BUT YOUR LOVE IS A LIAR
WE’LL GO ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS, HIGHER AND HIGHER
WHEN IT COMES TO THE WIRE
LET’S GET DRUNK TO QUENCH THAT FIRE
SINK AWAY IN BURNING MIRE

ON A SHARP DESCEND
A LOST WEEKEND
FEAST A DAY IN HELL, JUST TO ESCAPE
AND AGAIN, WHAT A GOOD REASON FOR A STRAY SEASON
FIND RELIEF IN PURGATORY MY DEAR
FINALLY

WHEN YOUR VISION IS BLURRED
AND YOU STAND OUT OF THE HERD
YOU’RE DRIFTING ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS, BEYOND THE WORD
‘CAUSE YOUR MOM WENT BERSERK
FIND YOURSELF TRAPPED IN THE DIRT
HERE’S THE THING THAT LAST OCCURRED

ON A SHARP DESCEND
A LOST WEEKEND
FEAST A DAY IN HELL, JUST TO ESCAPE
AND AGAIN, WHAT A GOOD REASON FOR A STRAY SEASON
FIND RELIEF IN PURGATORY MY DEAR
FINALLY
Track Name: Drunken bed
DRUNKEN BED

DRUNKEN BED TAKE ME FROM HERE
I’M TIRED AND I WANT TO SLEEP OFF THE TEARS
BURY ME, PLEASE, UNDER YOUR SHEETS
TAKE ME AWAY TO THAT FARAWAY PLACE

DRUNKEN BED
DRUNKEN BED
GET ME OUT OF HERE

CRADLE MY MIND WITH THE MONSTERS BENEATH
AND OFFER MY BONES TO THEIR GRINDING TEETH
PRETEND THERE’S NEVER BEEN SOMEONE LIKE ME
THERE WAS NEVER LAST NIGHT
NEVER THAT FIGHT

DRUNKEN BED TAKE ME FROM HERE
I’M SMELLING OF DARK
REEKING OF FEAR
LET ME FORGET THIS DELIRIOUS DREAM
GET ME OUT OF HERE
Track Name: Harmony
HARMONY

WAKE UP
HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS FALL
IT’S ONLY 5 O ‘CLOCK WHEN THEY PUSH YOU DOWN THE HALL
SOMEONE TELLS YOU; YOU’RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE
IF ONLY YOU BELIEVED IT, YOU’D BE FINE

WAITING
THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO
YOU’RE DANCING WITH THE SHADOWS IN AND OUT OF VIEW
SOMEONE TELLS US; THE SURGEON WANTS A WORD
MY LORD YOUR ONLY LIFELINE WANTS A WORD

LONG GONE IS THAT SIMPLE SONG
WE SANG WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE TO STIR THE DRUM
THE FIRST TO SING ALONG
BUT THIS TIME THE HARMONY IS MINE

ECHOES OF OUR LIVES, YOUR LIFE
LINGER IN MY HEAD
YOU SAID; WE CAN GET IT DONE

WELCOME
WELCOME BACK MY FRIEND
YOU COULD HAVE LEFT FOR GOOD
BUT HERE WE ARE AS WE HAD PLANNED
BETTER SLEEP NOW, FOR LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN
I’M SURE WE’LL MEET AGAIN, CAUSE WE’VE JUST BEGUN

LONG GONE IS THAT SIMPLE SONG THAT SIMPLE MELODY
YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE TO SING ALONG AND TO BELIEVE IN ME
BUT THIS TIME THE HARMONY IS MINE

ECHOES OF OUR LIVES, YOUR LIFE
LINGER IN MY HEAD
YOU SAID; WE CAN GET IT DONE
Track Name: Started out as friends
STARTED OUT AS FRIENDS

WE STARTED OUT AS FRIENDS
WE’RE BACK TO BEING LOVERS
WE’RE BACK TO WHERE IT ENDS
A STORY IN REVERSE
WE’RE HEADING FOR IT BACKWARDS
AND ONLY JUST PRETEND
BABY CAN’T YOU SEE?
YOU BELONG TO THIS CONFESSION
YOU ONCE BELONGED TO ME
WE HELD EACH OTHER TIGHT AND NEVER TOOK IT LIGHT

SO HERE WE GO

THIS IS GOODBYE AND IT IS ALL RIGHT
I’VE HAD THE TIME, HAD THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
I’M READY TO GO, GOT SOMEONE TO MEET
SOMEONE WHO’LL MEND THE BROKEN DREAM

WE STARTED OUT IN VAIN
INSTEAD OF BEING LONELY
WE DWELLED ON LOVE’S REMAINS
AND THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID
YOU’RE ROMEO TO ME AND I’M YOUR JULIETTE
OH MY GOD WE’VE TRIED
BUT WE JUST LOST THE FIGHT

AND HERE WE GO

THIS IS GOODBYE AND IT IS ALL RIGHT
I’VE HAD THE TIME, HAD THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
I’M READY TO GO, GOT SOMEONE TO MEET
SOMEONE WHO’LL MEND THE BROKEN DREAM
