I let you in I let you talk I let you face it whenever you want I let you wait I let you feel they seem to be gone but they are here your body is keeping the memory so don’t let your chest be your enemy cause they wont shut up until you listen and I will be kissing your unconscious existence your unconscious existence your unconscious existence So show me your triggers and show me your pain by naming the figures that you can’t explain So tell me can you hear the river (river) and tell me can you hear the wind (wind) everything that I remember (remember) is under my skin cause’ the body is keeping the memory so don’t let your chest be your enemy cause they wont shut up until you listen and I will be kissing your unconscious existence your unconscious existence your unconscious existence

Power 02:53
see how I would love to play with power I call you cause I need to understand this is not a time to/we count in hours so how to count the end ? know that I won’t talk about the essence cause there is not a thing to talk about say do you really feel a difference between your dreams and your doubts so maybe it makes sense maybe it makes sense maybe it makes sense maybe it makes sense if you come around please be radical I call you cause I need to stand the pace this is not a fiction of my heritage but a proof of quiet days explain me all your theories but let me take a break I call you cause I need to be alone oh I might have lost my autonomy, it’s an endless fight for space but in the end, it’s not what I want so maybe it makes sense maybe it makes sense maybe it makes sense maybe it makes sense

Another Wave 03:44
I know you didn’t find any other words I know you didn’t mean to hurt me every tiniest thought wants to be heard but as soon as it comes to a conversation they are all so blurred I know you didn’t want to talk that night but a feeling won’t shut up, once it is alive and I can hear you screaming while you can show yourself so quiet oh will you ever understand my desire mmmmmm So I can see you dancing in the snow I wanna understand what it feels like to be so cold and I don’t want to wait for someone to take me home cause when a wave is coming I know its gonna break alone cause when a wave is coming I know its gonna break alone cause when a wave is coming I know its gonna break alone mmmmmm
5.
It might be that I don’t get enough attention it might be that I expect you to care it might be that I start to think for you it might be that I need your hands who can save me save me save me save me it might be that I destroy all my structures it might be that this is just a thought it might be that I fight for nothing it might be that I am not the one who can save you from your emotion save you from fear save you from your devotion save you from being here being here

about

Anuk Schmelcher’s debut EP
CAN YOU HEAR THE RIVER
by will be released in december
2022 on Hummus Records. These five self-produced songs can be thought of as layering’s
of a single and delicate polyphony. Drums, guitar, voice, piano and harmonium are
recorded one after the other until they begin to breathe in relation to each other. The english
and swiss german lyrics tell of relationships and intimacies - with oneself, with lovers and
family- that are negotiated on several levels. Throughout this short album, we listen to a
character who, by speaking out, tries to become aware of their own
defence_mechanisms
and dynamics that appear while entering a relationship. The needs
for closeness and belonging begin to formulate themself and speak of the un_possibilities of
communicating oneself in one's own sensitivity. The release of the EP will take place in the
context of listening sessions to allow a space for exchange and attentive listening.
