Carsten Pieper More gothic psychedelia by this Berlin based duo... Favorite track: More Knives.
Lute FP

Lute FP Some kind of amalgam of heavy folk and rock, with a gothic grimness at its core. The highlights are the dual male and female vocals, and the complete sound they create with the music. There is a huge amount of rhythm and melody to suck you in.

I like this their first, and “Take Me With You…” their last, as they have a much more dynamic range in their sounds as compared to their in-between stuff. What this guy and gal do best is juxtapose the hard with the soft, the dark with the light.

Open Sea 05:19
Lost my mind in the open sea Found you there looking back at me All my troubles melted in your hands Followed you down to see where you go What do you do and who do you know Followed you through the walls and into the floor In my heart I’ve tried for so long To keep it together, keep it all strong But sometimes there’s always something besides the inside You drew a cross on my head Told me not to walk but to run instead You told me that I’d know when the feeling drops Feeling high Feeling low Moving fast Going slow Feeling better Feeling quick Change in the weather Feeling sick You say you’re tired of being alone, so you just make up your mind But now your mind is made up, you just want to be alone all the time I’ve been looking for you, creature since God only knows when But all that I found was a trail of broken women and men

I’ve been running on moonbeams ,baby for twenty-one days Dripping batwing oil and firefly grease and dirt along the way I’ve been looking for someplace, honey Somewhere to lay me down You can give me a crack in the wall or a little hole in the ground But gimme ya love Gimme ya love Gimme ya love ‘cause it’s the only thing I know how to… For now I sleep, oh Lord but when I wake I’ll put a hundred flowers on your grave, poison in your wedding cake So gimme your love now, girl-child Gimme your medicine boy I’ll show you how to mend, I’ll teach you how to destroy Gimme ya love Gimme ya love Gimme ya love ‘cause it’s the only thing I know how to use Gimme ya love Gimme ya love Gimme ya love ‘cause it’s the only thing I know how to lose

I have caged you You have caged me But baby if you cage me Don’t you know you’ve got to feed me Make these feathers shine Turn water into wine And we’ll drink away the time As we ignore the signs Raised up soft in the midst of a hurricane Sweep the pieces of a light that would never break You have saved me To love is to be free I am tested endlessly But I won’t save you I am jealous and unkind and I think of you as mine So I won’t save you I have caged you betrayed you and caged you and caged you Make these feathers shine Turn water into wine And we’ll drink away the time As we ignore the signs Raised up soft in the midst of a hurricane Sweep the pieces of a light that would never break Pull the covers let the darkness take your space Love the quiet let the silence keep it safe I would have done anything for you Bring you a devil make it sing for you But I’ll rap you up in rubber and set fire to you ‘Cause that’s the only thing that I know how to do You have changed me Re-arranged me With all that you have changed You set free the strange in me strange in me strange in me Make these feathers shine Turn water into wine And we’ll drink away the time As we ignore the signs Raised up soft in the midst of a hurricane Sweep the pieces of a light that would never break Pull the covers let the darkness take your place Love the quiet let the silence keep it safe Keep it safe

Together 04:17
My head is aching like a river bed shaking and the foundations breaking to let go ‘Cause I’ve been running with the water now I’m coming round your corner and the only thing I want is to not know where I’m going I had a vision that the only thing I’m missing was three colours and a piece of string ‘Cause a man I met once, he was dancing with the sun, he said ‘with those you sure could make anything – you just tie ‘em together I took a bite of the highway lights, I lit the feeling down in my stomach ‘Cause everything I knew, the black and the blue, from the pits right up to the summit – I just tie ‘em together Out of the walls and into the ceiling A colour-copy Jesus a different meaning Life on mars, big red cars Coming too close, going too far Over the hills and under the sheets Get loud keep still out on the streets Under the rubble getting into trouble From the sky to the sea You and me I tie it all together Keep your little soul on fire Keep it crooked, wrapped in wire

More Knives 05:29
My lungs are closing in, I need more calm to fill it with A different melody A different song to fill it with My head is caving in I need more space to fill it with A different sense of time A different place to fill it with I feel I’m getting closer to the end But I don’t want to go Oh no not yet When everything’s on fire I need new hands to feel it with When everyone’s a liar A whole new plan to deal with I’ve lost track of my health I need new eyes to see it with Some new found sense of self A new mind to free it with I’m feeling that I just let myself go But I don’t want to be stuck here All alone In between all the lives I’ve lived a line traces all that I give And everything that I’ve taken away But nothing’s truer that to live just for today Or so they say In the belly of the beast I need more light to fill it with I look on as they feast Give me more knives To kill them with

Last Light 09:02
You are the last light Bringing the night quiet Letting the day down as soft as you can Mine is a wild breath A muddied and torn dress Holding it in from the flames for as long as I can You don’t know how to hold me ‘cause I’m kicking the walls You’re giving all you’ve got and I keep asking for more You feel like you should kiss me but I’m gnashing my teeth You fear that you will miss me but you beg and you pray for release Yours is a cool breeze With eyes like the green sea Soft as the clouds that I feel whenever you breathe Mine is a curved line It knots with the minds eye As steady as man’s love for the things he can’t see I don’t know how to see you when your head’s in the sky You don’t know how to trust me when I say that I try I lie inside this madness ‘cause I know what I’ve found I’ve found that I am free, my love, keep me bound A heart that needs to feel you hold it down Once filled with wings now heading for the ground
