rephrase your impossible plan don’t explain your unconventional hopes it’s a long way home to a single place that gathers all in the end don’t you know we will soon be framed ? on the wall we will all be framed trusting your incompatible trends won’t make it less of an unapproachable thing it’s a long way home to a single place that gathers all in the end don’t you know we will soon be framed ? don’t you wish we would all be framed ? on the wall we will all be framed don’t you know we will soon be framed ?

loop a word ‘til you know my name ‘til we belong to the same vein that has the pressure of a growing thing driving us out of town, in the hay u-hu, u-hu-u-u. ... drain me there of my anxious pain in a tree, a field or cave ‘til the sun bleaches it all away and sees us all going back to our fate u-hu, u-hu-u-u. ... ... our easter wedding ended up being fake

Shy of Fire 02:55
take me with you sapphire runner my eyes are bright shy of fire but I can fly I can see you wonder every colour in the dark of night separate souls do await me but I’ll be there misty sailor holding stuffed birds and butterflies on my belly dancing crossed fists in the naked sky take me with you sapphire runner I race the heat of cold and raw it shines so greatly the heat of you shy of fire the heat of you shy of fire the heat of you shy of fire the heat of you shy of fire
4.
take me to the edge it’s a long time now that I’m waiting and it drives you insane and it makes me feel the same and it drives me insane and it makes you feel the same take me to the edge it’s a long time now that I’m waiting
5.
Resilience 02:32
this poetry is a hollow part of these stories I can’t keep memories I don’t need I could recall it all to add drama in my songs could also let it go be adult for good then live before I die using this time leave it all behind all that’s left
6.
Losing Hair 04:34
when I’m half deaf and paralysed will you care about me? when I’m stuck on the other side and can’t get free I was born quite a happy man but cannot see how to make this or anything recomforting here I go down steadily still hoping for someone to see it this time
7.
The Dam 02:14
should I step across that flooded dam? to recreate the fail, to emulate the distance I have made between the realm of things and my own private shame to cover up the stain, to simulate the faces I know you were trying to make at that time seven years ago as I almost wrecked it all to pieces and if I do will I take it all with me seven years of hope and joy shared with all the humans I need
8.
‘cause of me now you’re breakable though you thought you were untouchable and the course of my desires it goes, it goes, it goes we kissed oh! kissed and never stopped until the morning sun woke up and the course of my desires it stopped, it stopped, it stopped ... and the trees oh! trees who laughed about us ‘cause of me now they’re inflammable they’re dust the course of my desires it burns, it burns, it burns
9.
when you make up the past you don’t realize I was hoping for more I was halfway to fall on my knees when you make up the past you just idealize I was living as such I was fighting so much to be free, free when you make up the past you surely oversize all the pain I have fought all the beauty I’ve lost at the time when you make up the past you surely emphasize I’ve been struggling alone I survive through my songs to be free, free it’s an empty road that I’m walking along it must be such a load to be half a kid and me you say and it’s true in a way for when I make up the past I can’t wipe it out I was there when it came the owl through the frame that set her free, free , free of me
10.
l’ll be near, near, near you ‘til the end of time and I’ll keep, keep, keep you walking by my side

Something Went Wrong is Louis Jucker's most exhaustive work to date. Simple and direct folk and rock songs played with unaltered love for lo-fi sounds, by an artist that has become through the years a very unique and prolific figure of the swiss alternative music scene. A self-portrait in 10 songs, to face his own aging with humility, as depicted in the bittersweet home-made video "31 Years of Waiting for This". The release of this new album will also be the right occasion for a luxurious and hand-made re-release of is early backcatalog, including his first and rare album Eight Orphan Songs (2013).
