LIKE STONES IN THE SEA (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) an unknown upheaval inside me keeps me rollin' further till the day that I die like a stone in the sea I get ground and kept in suspense till I can alight blown away by a breeze that's arisin' I leave all expectations unsatisfied can I ever release what's inside me? stop seekin' for the love that we all deny get free of my wary ghost inside let me believe before I get tired dreams I've weaved when I was a child still keep me searchin' till the day meets the night what a bitter sweet symphony, this life so many options, but I can't decide somewhere in my weary eyes I still see something left that says “never say die” can I ever achieve what's inside me? releasin' all the love that I try to hide get free of my wary ghost inside let me believe before I get tired you and me, all through the night like stones in the sea we drift to the other side an unknown upheaval inside me keeps me rollin' further till the day that I die like a stone in the sea I get ground and kept in suspense till I can alight blown away by a breeze that's arisin' I leave all expectations unsatisfied can I ever release what's inside me? stop seekin' for the love that we all deny get free of my wary ghost inside let me believe before I get tired you and me, all through the night like stones in the sea we drift to the other side yeah http://youngfastrunningman.com

HAIL TO TODAY (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) scorched hearts, flooded souls we used to call home gamblin' away future's past like a child skimming stones while the apes debate on the fate of the growth and fall of old Rome the charlatans throw down the last ace into the hole asthmatically, blue orb's airways are kept in a chokehold abrasion till the landscape's head gets bald but still based on faith in mistakes, danglin' on hangman's rope in the silence you hear the beat of the guillotine's fall sing hail to today changing face, no dismay but for rain they will pray and get insane waves no way to escape sing hail to today changing face, no dismay but for rain they will pray and get insane waves ain't no way to escape a house of cards in a draft, will we open the door? the cat's out of the bag, the mouse in the trap, will we ignore? Atlas' spheres on the back, stuck in a bottleneck will we keep from fallin' to the floor? while the apes playin' charades to conceal new Rome's fall the charlatans throw down the last ace into the hole our mistakes are still faith-based, we’re danglin' on hangman's rope in the distance you hear the sound of the guillotine's call sing hail to today changing face, no dismay but for rain they will pray and get insane waves no way to escape sing hail to today changing face, no dismay but for rain they will pray and get insane waves ain't no way to escape sing hail to today changing face, no dismay but for rain they will pray and get insane waves no way to escape sing hail to today changing face, no dismay but for rain they will pray and get insane waves ain't no way to escape http://youngfastrunningman.com

In My Dreams 04:20
IN MY DREAMS (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) old neon leaves dancin' with you while you hold and breathe and feel the loop of the year that sails by with all your blues the wheels get tired, withdrawal anew to dissolve the night in foggy gloom now in my dreams I drift along warm fresh breeze thoughts break loose I plunge deep in the red dyed blue of the year that sails by with all your blues the wheels get tired withdrawal anew to dissolve the night in the foggy gloom now in my dreams I drift along slow down the beat and close my eyes just one real need to catch the light unrest now sleeps while I'm sunken in the red dyed blue now in my dreams I drift along now in my dreams I drift along slow down the beat and close my eyes just one real need to catch the light unrest now sleeps while I'm sunken in the red dyed blue now in my dreams I drift along slow down the beat and close my eyes just one real need to catch the light unrest now sleeps while I'm sunken in the red dyed blue now in my dreams I drift along now in my dreams I drift along now in my dreams I drift along http://youngfastrunningman.com

COLORS OF THE BLIND (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) everyone knows what's black and white the shimmering circles of distant lights everyone sees the autumn time observin' the outside with half-closed eyes but do they really feel what's green? can they believe in things they've never seen? and will they ever find out what's real? imagination, the color of the blind everyone knows the red-burnin' fire the different meaning of different signs everyone knows what's dark and bright while strollin' senseless through the night but do they really feel what's green? can they believe in things they've never seen? and will they ever find out what's real? imagination, the color of the blind imagination's just the color of the blind http://youngfastrunningman.com

SECOND OF SENSATION (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) watchin' atomic clouds to the evening sound on a caravan's roof dreamin' of the big world, true love girl, lonesome cowboy blues though it's been so long and these days are gone but still in my heart these memories live on the smell of fresh-cut grass of a saturday's match, imitatin' Zizou abrasions on my knees meant the world to me, oh green-yellow youth boxwood's in the air, massive drums, fanfares, and melodies of flutes my torch towards the nights, mercenary's fight, beneath the childhood's moon though it's been so long and these days are gone but still in my heart these memories live on oh it's been so long and these days are gone but still in my heart these memories live on though it's been so long and these days are gone but still in my heart these memories live on oh it's been so long and these days are gone in a second of sensation some memories live on http://youngfastrunningman.com

Ideal World 04:21
IDEAL WORLD (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) the snow's white is smothered by greed giants grow bigger but the graves stay deep as long as we wallow in these memories of our little world, it's alright free and for granted - like naturally we breathe spotlight on ourselves while the audience leaves scared of tomorrow we hold on to the past the well-known words - no surprise: our ideal world, we've subscribed would you rub salt into the wound that bleeds? anthropologic bubble - is there a way to be free? aspiration for score while morality cries with eyes closed, it's alright if we pull stronger we've pulled all our teeth no more we can eat out of the hand that feeds wish we never woke up from our sleepless dream of this little world our life true love is devoured up by greed desires grow bigger competin' with our needs as long as we wallow in memories of our little world no surprise: our ideal world, we have signed would you rub salt into the wound that bleeds? polyethylene bubble - is there a way to be free? aspiration for score as morality cries with eyes closed would we hum lullabies for the beast? the bubble's decreasing - is there enough air to breathe? everything bloats but our souls quietly choke the ideal world, we've signed http://youngfastrunningman.com

LET THIS SOUL ARISE (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) take the path through the maze of thoughts know the sources of wishes and needs fill the void of old fears with new love drift from the creek down to the sea can this soul arise? leave the shadows of yesterday and make new memories caged mind reaches out for space sail to your dreams - wake up and be real let this soul arise no question's wrong, no answer's right peace and storm at one time awakenin' dawn in reflectin' eyes upcomin' warmth of a newborn smile magnetically drawn a young bird glides followin' downstream to unknown skies find a way in the daze of love when disillusion hails down on me to esteem the treasures I've got lift off from the deep to highest peak let this soul arise take the path through the maze of thoughts know the sources of wishes and needs fill the void of old fears with new love sail to your dreams - wake up and be real let this soul arise no question's wrong, no answer's right peace and storm at one time awakenin' dawn in reflectin' eyes upcomin' warmth, now our soul, our soul, our soul, our souls arise http://youngfastrunningman.com

AUGUSTEN STREET (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) day's first vermilion sunbeams shone mirrored suns wavin' at me mornin' warm foehn winds were blowin' gentle whispers of neon leaves while a poor distracted sparrow picked up crumbs from balconies total chaos on the road with overzealous employees my home back then, Augusten Street businessmen stuck on their phones old danglin' shoes on trees inside the café two unknowns with first date´s uncertainties summer's last warmth still stored in stones heat kept me from sleep various scents from all over the globe shook me out of my dreams my home back then, Augusten Street mh, my home back then, Augusten Street so many years you shared with me back then, Augusten Street so many years you shared with me my window in Augusten Street http://youngfastrunningman.com

OFF TO THE MOON (Music & Lyrics by Fabian Hertrich) as we walked by the moon's embrace hearts full of levity and grace fireflies' waltz lulled me to sleep lost myself in melodies of peace your lullabies in those summer nights up above the smell of summer rain tired bones, my eyes still wide awake blackbirds and crickets well attuned while we drifted off to the moon your lullabies in those summer nights your lullabies in those summer nights quiet lullabies in those summer nights http://youngfastrunningman.com

about

"Off To The Moon“ is the name of the third album by Young Fast Running Man - German singer-songwriter Fabian Hertrich's band project. As the album title reveals, the symbolism of the moon plays an essential role and is reflected in the songwriting, the arrangements as well as in the lyrics. In analogy with the moon the album also appears in different faces concerning the versatility of musical styles, sounds, instruments and thereby created atmospheres. The two previous albums have already manifested Fabian's variety in sounds, ranging between traditional, timeless Folk and Blues(-Rock). However it cannot clearly be nailed down on a certain genre. These influences from the 60s also ring out in his latest songs. Combined with some elements from 90s and 00s bands like Oasis and Kasabian "Off To The Moon" shows the band's transition from the debut album's classic Country-Blues to a memorable kind of Independent Folk-Rock. Nevertheless, a well picked acoustic guitar and the blues will always be a companion on their musical journey.
