I will never ever forget:
We had our first tour in Russia November 2011.
It was the first show.
Hell broke loose within the first chords but there was more coming...
we started playing "Bangarang" and all of the sudden approx. 30-50 kids and adults were singing louder then we could scream through the PA, conquering the stage and celebrating that one tune so badly that I again understood what we meant when we wrote it 3 or 4 years ago.
Doesn´t sound that crazy, I know.
But considering that we are just a tiny, little, barely known band from somewhere, shredding some chords, singing our hearts out mostly to ourselves, it was just the best feeling in the world that someone felt the same so far away from home with us, with that very song.
Just another hymn though ;)
Again with that one, I think the lyrics are don´t need any further explanation.
lyrics
This one's for you who you love dancing under the sun
when it's shinin' down.
This one's for you who you love laughing and having fun
with your friends around
For you, who you dare to let your mind grow
For you resisting their stranglehold
A progressive stronghold
You never back down
you never submit yourself to control
Never leaving Neverland
Never leaving ain't gonna grow old won't let our spirits mold
no more reign of the old men....
....Bangarang !!
This one is only for you who you choose to do
whatever whenever you want it to
yet treating everyone respectfully around you
Life´s all about brother- and sisterhood
We are the lost boys and girls
We`re an island and we`ll defend the tiny paradise we've built
You don't need to forgive us cuz we don't feel any guilt
You don't need to help us, all by ourselves we wanna quest
so what we find means bliss in oblivion apart from the rest
...I wanna be free!
