lyrics

01. focus

the powerlines are black against the glowing streetlight fog
and the rooftops disappear in misty blur
i’m standing on the corner with all my senses open,
could be nowhere else right now but in this world
fingerprints on wineglasses and ashtrays full of talk
about what’s waiting still and what’s probably through
about chances, consequences, the line we try to walk
and we have loads of words but we don’t have a clue
i ain’t looking for solutions in my head or in my heart
i ain’t looking for redemption or a bandage for my scars
life in focus is all i want

i’ve had a dozen good beliefs that i was praying for in vain
still the verses in my song depend on rhymes
i’ve had a hundred good ideals that my life put on the stake
and nothing worse to do but give another try
and i know i might be stupid to keep waiting for that train
but i ain’t standing at the station with closed eyes
and every other minute life keeps enterring the frame
and turns away or picks me up or just goes by
but i ain’t…

about

Trummer Berne, Switzerland

"Es ist nicht übertrieben zu behaupten, Trummer gehöre zu den ganz wenigen Schweizer Künstlern, die Songs auf einem derart hohen Niveau nicht bloss schreiben und komponieren, sondern auch vortragen können."
Pedro Lenz.
"Trummers Songs berühren, weil sie weder belehren noch beeindrucken wollen, sondern es bei der schlichten Frage belassen: Kennt ihr das auch?“
Laudatio SUISA Stiftungspreis 2011
