about

Somehow the world often seems to be at a lost. The mankind tries to show itself innocent, because one cannot suspect bad things. If one had only known something, then one would have done preventively everything against it. But one cannot know that the world ends. How can you, if you always keep your eyes closed to the uncomfortable.
"Called In Advance" is the ironic commentary on all the excuses of mankind, why one could not prevent bad developments like climate change, war or waves of refugees.

“Oh If only you had called in advance. We could have been prepared and so we'd be all right.”

lyrics

Bittersweet catastrophe
You once were here before
We forgot what you were like
And how to treat you right

If you’d given a sign
I would have arranged
Something special
If you’d mentioned yourself
We would have arranged
Your arrival

Oh if only you had called in advance
I’d have made up my bed for you and cleaned up my inner mess
Oh if only you had called in advance
We would have been prepared and so
We'd be all right

Now our time is fading fast
We’re melting in your hands
Nobody expected that
Extinction would come so fast

Tell me what is your plan?
How long will we last
Or are we abandoned
Tell me what is your plan?
And why did you show up with no answers?

Oh if only you had called in advance
I’d have made up my bed for you and cleaned up my inner mess
Oh if only you had called in advance
We could have been prepared and so
We'd be all right

Oh, oh
Ooh, ooh

Oh if only you had called in advance
I’d have made up my bed for you and cleaned up my inner mess
Oh If only you had called in advance
We would have been prepared and so
We'd be all right

about

To Athena Lucerne, Switzerland

Chamber pop, melancholy, lyrics that directly reflect, that hurt. To Athena allows introspective and fragile gems in Swiss German to exist alongside sparkling and cinematic pop in English on one and the same stage. The intensity is often found in the small and fragile. In the lyrics that reach out into the dark, but always allow for the light. Fragility, strength and the sounds in between. ... more
