Erase the time, erase the place Get on the phone Get to your knees Tonight The lonely moon You’re going to The grief is here to stay Hold like a man And cry as a woman Oh, are you really gone? You know I think There must be Life after Life Dear Son And Death after Death Like there’s Day after Day And Night after night Tonight

When all the world seems far away And just the two of us are left I’ll sing to you these words all through The night we'll fly in peace and I’ll And I’ll be air the air that makes me Wanna dive into your skin Into your skin into the stars Into your breath and by your eyes Into your skin, into the stars Into your breath and by your eyes Your pretty eyes I am divided Into fire and glass tonight And when I whisper when I dance And when I fall into your arms It's not a kid it's not a man It's just myself electric shock Is due to glances and to touches Underneath what seems to be What seems to hold what seems to touch What seems to breathe in a moment And all these moments all the thrill And all the light that you have brought Oh God please make this moment last Into your skin, into the stars Into your breath and by your eyes And all this world, this magic world That you have showed me is my light Of silence, tenderness, of glances That contain so many needs So many wishes, passion, love, desire And silence is the sweetest thing on earth And we are birds that fly away And in our hugs I cannot say Your hand from my hand or your breath From my breath let me be unsure And ever I’m confused a sweet kiss And a hug will make us birds Will give the world away It's just ourselves that's left I’ll be desire You'll be the passion we'll be two stars In a spring more open sky Into your skin, into the stars Into your breath and by your eyes

Bring what you have as to survive Bring what you need bring what you are Bring and your silence Bring and your tears Bring and your memories Bring and your dreams Don't bring anything at all Come and bring just you What you are and where we are I'm so bored and so confused So come on, darling, please Don't bring anything at all Come and bring just you

Clown 04:09
Could this please be the last time Could this time be just for me Make my hair put my make-up on Make me ready for my show See the star see the star now Clap your hands clap your hands now Please don't cry, I’ll make you laugh again On the rope up high here All these years such silence Where’s my home where are my sons All my life a funny wig See the star see the star now Hail the clown hail the clown now Try and cry, I can't make you laugh this time...

Wanted 04:25
Wanted by the sun And wanted by the moon There's plenty of warmth on sun It's more than you can stand More than you can stand And moon is hardly known As most of us I think They say it's cold and lacking air But we can't see it all We can't see it all Sing with me and dance with me 'Cause I’m not quite sure The moon seems far and on the sun I cannot put my dreams Wanted by the light and wanted by the dark Light gives life and gives support But dark gives dreams, yeah, dark gives love And both of them give questions Sing with me and dance with me 'Cause I’m not quite sure The moon seems far and on the sun I cannot put my dreams 'Cause my dreams are made of light and dark And I wish the four of them To be there, charming, cause I’ll maybe Sometimes want to take small trips

Gone 04:20
It’s been a while Since I’ve seen you laugh It’s always just a smile Instead of tears I know a place Where your shadow lives Lonely, aching in an endless dark Gone with the wind Away in a cloud Gone is my heart When it feels your grief The endless books That describe the end Or what it was before And what will be Well I know a place Where all shadows live A place where you and I will someday meet The ones that exist Will not cease to exist And light will prevail Just believe no one’s gone

My precious secret Witches and fairies keep it safe They take it to a coast Magical in the moon Away from earth Love got dressed like dance And blew life to my body And all my steps I'll get down on my knees And ask for your fingers To lay my face So take me home take me into your arms Let me see your world It's in the back of my head In a picture that's fading I'll sleep among The seas and all the stars Show them how you smile I'll put my head on your head And I'll be dancing around you I only wanna smile Like I have never ever cried I only wanna dance Like I have never ever walked So take me home take me into your arms Let me see your world It's in the back of my head In a picture that's fading I'll sleep among The seas and all the stars Show them how you dance I'll put my head on your head And I'll be dancing around you

Raise your eyes very slowly dear The sunlight may make you blind Seal the hunted story of our lives Make it a book and set on fire But darling, don’t ever ask me what is worth We made so huge and strong the wall And called us heroes of the world So darling, let’s put them all against the wall I know the place where flowers grow Where all the trains are starting from Can you see, the little ship that wants to moor Don’t fall asleep before I lull Don’t fall asleep before I do I will make my life a song and I’ll Amuse ourselves until we die This will be the place that every time Will seem like all the silent nights

Sometimes 04:12
Sometimes hearts can be broken Silly words spoken Thrown in the air Sometimes you’re feeling so empty But something you can’t see Brings you back to life Trying to make you feel secure Releasing my heart’s thoughts All into you I’m trying hard to make you see You’re all I can feel You’re all that is real Sometimes there’s no sunshine There’s no real fight But I can see Sonetimes in faraway countries I’m still dreaming Please forgive If you wanna see me fall Ask and I’ll try But I’ll never be down 'Caus’ if you only wake me up But there’s no use I’m a dreamer

Air 03:45
The days are heavy the hours a lot to bear In Europe there’s fresh air Or is it long past gone For the air is something everybody needs But no one ever cared Dor me the way you did Give me the air, give me the wings To fly away The war has started two thousand years ago And Jesus still gets nailed To the cross that everyone builds This cross is the field of your sickness His boredom Her fears And my sins And our last chance To not fear Do not fear...
11.
Goodnight 05:51
I want so much to cry And then turn around and hide Under my tears, away from you Please try and feel some pride Show me that you don’t know how To show me you know To tell me you love me Now I’m old enough to know That this will never be but I don’t care I want you to know, I’ve always looked For your secret, tender smile. Let’s say goodnight The only way that you can show How you care and how you love Is to hurt me and hide yourself Now I’m old enough to know Years have passed and years will go But you will never Open your eyes

Danko 04:32
Unset time. Unset place. Not necessarily a spot in history. The darkest time of humanity. The darkest season of earth. Nothing grows. Nothing evolves. Darkness covers almost all land. Unknown if there are any plants or animals Cause they cannot be seen. And right in the middle of dark a small place where humans live or something that reminds of living. They live in fear, dream of fear they give birth to fear. No hope in their aching hearts. No smile on their broken faces. And this goes on and on for years and years and years… And as they fear more and they lose hope the dark comes closer and closer. They never touch it, never enter it. Until they day that Danko is born. His parents do not differ from other members of the tribe, oh but Danko does. He Hopes. And Fears. But still Hopes. And he grows up.And the little boy becomes a man. And he gets sick of fear. He gets bored of not exploring. Not the dark but his heart. His Burning Heart. And day after day frightened people listen to a man called Danko forcing them to move. Everyone thinks it’s madness. But Danko is very serious. He never seems to fear, never seems to regret. And some day more and more live off his hope. And begin to move. They take sticks on fire and they have Danko ahead. Everyone is moving now. Moving into the dark. Danko is always ahead, shouting to go on. And now the dark gets deeper. It’s aching to move now. Feet heavy. Hearts beating fast. But not Danko’s. Sometimes he turns back to them and they see his face, listen to his words. Probably they fear Danko more than they fear dark. And they go on and on. Light spreads in the heart of black fog. But dark now plays its dirtiest tricks and hearts begin to freeze. And more and more are screaming to go back. Things get out of control. No order in the moving tribe now. They start to blame him. But Danko will not step back, even now… He rips off his own heart from his wonderful chest. Bleeding he holds it up and everyone sees the most hopeful light they had ever seen. Danko’s Burning Heart gives them hope. And they go on really fast. No one screams now. Danko is bleeding. The world starts to fade away. He looks to his heart and still feels close to it. His pace is steady. His heart is burning, leading the way. And after a while Dark begins to scatter and dawn comes A bright reddish Dawn, the first one in centuries. Everyone is cheering now. Everyone hopes. And they are so happy they cannot see A young man’s dead body lying among them Beside a Heart that’s still burning its last sparkles….

about

Following the high expectations established, two years ago, with the release of their debut “Family Life”, Abbie Gale return with their second album which is symbolically entitled «2», while it’s the maiden release of Inner Ear Records.

Having conquered experience by now and with the support of a compact and integral production the four-piece group presents a fully creative project, always guided by Evira’s captivating voice. Her wide vocal range, her colourful vocals and her performance, ideally adjusted to the needs of each track, “light up” the mature compositions of “2”.

From the existential introversion of the opening track, “Life After Life”, to the diaphanous light of the ethereal “dialogue” between Evira and Raining Pleasure’s Vassilikos in “Lovesong” and from the heady lyricism of “Clown” and “Air” to the agony of the recited manifesto of “Danko”, Abbie Gale are not here to fill the gap or to restructure the domestic competition but to remind us that love for creation combined with inspiration – which in their case is ample – when originating from an harmonic collaboration with a clear aesthetic apprehension, remain always essential for the achievement of an exceptional result.
