about

A song for us. An anthem of strength and freedom.

As promised to my grandpa Nic and myself, here´s the studio version of "Rise Again" - the first version was recorded when we were all in the 1st lockdown, separated.
This song is about unity, freedom, strength and, hope.
It had to be recorded together live in studio, side by side, under the same roof.

After my grandpa´s death, I promised myself to keep my head up and spread good vibes despite the surreal times.
This global wake-up call is an opportunity to reset and rebuild something for the better.
I trust something beautiful will blossom out of this mess 🍀
This song is our contribution, ´cause we believe music is a cure.

We publish it today, 1 st of January 2021 at 20:21 as a good omen, a good wish and start. We hope this song can help someone out there who´s struggling in these hard times.
We wish you all love, courage and health.
Happy New Year and all the best to all 🍀
Together we are stronger. Have faith. We will #RiseAgain 💪🏼🌎❤️

lyrics

You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can
You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can
You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can

Not too long ago, I was really really small
Never crossed my mind that I could be part of the whole
But as a kid I never doubted men’s and nature ́s worth
Anyone was welcome to play on this Earth

Then I have learned all your lessons
And survived your many schools
Only to realise I ́ve learned more from art and breaking rules
I think I understood that few decide who is in need
But I ́ll keep rising ́til compassion wins over greed

You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can

With time I started boxing with my thoughts and reason
We all deserve a decent life and no one should feel imprisoned
We all laugh, we all cry, we all live on this rock
We all know that only with falling you learn how to walk
You can chain us and convince yourself that you ́ve got the key
But inside our soul will always be free
And for you vultures out there, who think you pull all the strings
We remind you that without us you would be Nothing.

You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can

We ́re all fruits and flowers of the same plant
We should bow to Nature, we are only here to rent
́Cause brothers and sisters, we are sons of the same Mother
Fear not to understand that together we have the power

They can silence us, laugh at us and pretend they cannot hear
Make us doubt of each other just to generate some fear
They can try to deceive us and continue the tease
Hoping to avoid the turmoil
But our voices and freedom will never cease
To blossom from the soil

You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can
You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again

May be the last thing that I can
You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May it be the last thing that I can

Until the last beat of my heart
Even if everything is falling apart
I will rise again
Rise again
Rise, rise, rise again

You can push me down
You can crash me on the ground
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can

́Cause I have had enough
Had enough, had, had, had enough
But I will rise again
May be the last thing that I can

Until the last beat of my heart
Even if everything is falling apart
I will rise again, rise again
Rise, rise, rise again
