Köln 05:21
KÖLN Twin spires, marble skies Air is thick, Can we survive? Verkehr, Verkehr in the space we share Thoughts are quick in the midnight air Ride the U-Bahn, immer schwarz You can’t seem to escape your past We pay the toll with our hearts Life goes by, running fast away, push it away… Chequered floor, neon lights Blue shells are in our sights Sonic landscapes all around Searching for the underground Dancing in a gilded cage Three tiered levels of dark end rage After midnight we all meet Ice cold nights on a smoky street The past is over but it doesn’t go away The past is over but it doesn’t go away Showered in yellow sunlight to cover up the guilt Created to carry your burden, everything covered in silt The river is getting lower, the truth is starting to show The ship is slowly sinking but only time will know High on my projections in an unreal world Propelled by false intentions installed inside a girl She tries to see the day in night, grey matter that she can’t fight She’s breaking out! She’s breaking out! Away… away… The past is over but it doesn’t go away The past is over but it doesn’t go away False illusions, your delusions Wasted in my mind Smothered in a silence The truth just makes us blind Re-program, stop the system, try to press ‘reboot’ Creating a distraction, while others follow the suit Well disguised Blitz cold Eis, slip, fall, open eyes…. visions… decisions Alone again in Cologne again… Alone again in Cologne again… A safe place so hard to find If only I’d escape my mind… Ebertplatz 3am A chance to begin again Reinvent your intent Nothing said is time well spent Cars stop Venloer Straße, Fahrrad fahren faster faster The Past is over…. away… A chance to begin again, If only fear could be your friend A safe place so hard to find, If only I’d escape my mind… © B.Handley/D.C.

Daylight... 04:29
DAYLIGHT . . . Look outside, daylight goes… Look outside, daylight goes… I walk alone… So hard to follow Look outside, daylight goes So hard to follow Look outside, daylight goes We don’t feel, heart undone We’ve got everything, we want more We want more So hard to follow Look outside, daylight goes So hard to follow Look outside, daylight goes Daylight goes… We are nobody Cursed is the day that drags us down We are nobody We live by the sound, stay underground So hard to follow Look outside, daylight goes So hard to follow Look outside, daylight goes Daylight goes… Daylight goes… © B.Handley/D.C.

LAMENT OF A LOST SOUL... (Matahari Ranch Remix) Staring into the dark depths Of your mind control I wander through the steps Darkness takes its toll I hear your voice so near Yet so far away I fear Cold wind howls through bending trees Lamenting for the long lost souls... I walk alone at night Through the mine shafts of my mind Warmth and light now out of sight Through rugged hills I wind Searching for I know not what and all those dreams long forgot All the while, the chilling sounds Calling to their long lost souls... Drown myself in the black pond My future it is told Sorrows tied my hands behind The sights I now behold Face to face within myself I know there’s no return The past is lost, I bear the cost There’s so much I’ve had to learn I’m not free to move on The path I tread is thin I cannot feel, I cannot speak Regret comes floating in I mourn for you and yesterday Sorrows of my past My soul is lost, there’s no repent I search for you, hear my lament... © B.Handley/D.C.

After Dark 04:08
AFTER DARK After Dark, After Dark When the sun goes down And there’s no one else around After Dark, After Dark When the lights go out and no one is about I hear them calling We are the voices of the night I feel us falling Down and down We’re fading from the light After Dark Where we can get away From the dwellers of the day After Dark, After Dark When you shut your eyes That’s when we will arise I hear them calling They are the voices of the dead I feel us falling We walk and walk where no one else will tread We go walking on the ocean Beneath the purple skies Bathing in the moonlight We wash over our lives Through the trees blackened branches They’re reaching out to me Whispering daylight’s secrets The night time sets us free… This is, our reality... After Dark See us lurking in the shadows We’re the nightmares in your mind... © B.Handley/D.C.
5.
STILL LIVES . . . Still are our lives as life rushes past One day like the next, unlike the last Hindsight reflects our memories fine Recollect with neglect the passing of time Still are our lives Where the day meets the night We are still... Still are our lives, yet still we are here We want to go forth but held back by fear Still are our lives and still we are not All we have learnt is easy forgot Still are our lives Where the day meets the night We are still... Still are our lives as time rushes by Rolls like the thunderous dance of the sky Still was the ocean before the storm The air grows cool as the wind is torn... Still are our lives Where the day meets the night Still are our lives Midst the terrors of night... Still are our lives Where the day meets the night We are still... © B.Handley/D.C.

about

KÖLN - VISIONS…
The new 12” Coloured Vinyl Maxi EP by
Brigitte Handley | Matahari Ranch
Available now through Select-A-Vision Records
in cooperation with Icy Cold Records France and Audioglobe Distribution Italy

“When I began to explore ideas for the Köln - Visions EP, I thought about how I could capture the moods and feelings that this city evoked in me when I first arrived as a stranger in a new land. I wanted to somehow convey the excitement, fear, uncertainty and wonder I felt in those early moments stepping into a different world that in turn inspired me onto a new path both personally and artistically.

‘Köln’ was the focal point for the feel and direction of the EP and ‘Daylight’ the second song on the A-side came about by trying to capture a combination of electronica blending with the organic sounds and instruments which are conveyed on the B-side with ‘After Dark’, ‘Lament of a Lost Soul… (MHR remix)’ and ‘Still Lives… (MHR remix)’ by suggesting to Matahari Ranch a concept between the 2 worlds and leaving it then for their interpretation. Collectively these songs represent different chapters of my time in the city of Köln... Thoughts and visions and a state of being… These songs took on their own life as well, so I guess I was just guiding this EP along…"

Köln - Visions…’ Brigitte Handley | Matahari Ranch Special edition 5 track maxi EP on 12” sky blue vinyl including digi DL codes + full colour pull-out poster and lyrics will be released on June 3rd 2021 through Select-A-Vision Records in cooperation with Icy Cold Records Paris and distributed through Audioglobe Italy.
