When the hum of the city overtakes you
And you can't breathe at all
Is it drowning you?
Is it drowning you?
When the noise and the demons and the chatter
They make you feel so small
They're surrounding you
They're surrounding you
When you finally give up fighting
And the silence starts to call
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Can you hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me can you hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me can you hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me can you hear it
Tell me can you hear this sound that brings you back to home?
It is something so familiar
You remember how it goes
It was always there
It is always there
It's a song that's written in everything
One that everybody knows
It's getting louder now
It's getting louder now
Can you hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me can you hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me can you hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me can you hear it
Tell me can you hear this sound
Tell me can you hear this sound that brings you back to home?
I know I know I know
Never been this lost before
I know I know it's hard
But you gotta let it lead you
I know I know I know
Can't ignore it anymore
I know I know it's hard
But you gotta let it lead you
If you listen it will lead you home
And it goes yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know that you can hear it yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know that you can hear this sound that brings you back to home.

Ich werde nie den Moment vergessen, wie ich in Schwerin in einem Media-Markt das Album Warm Strangers bei den Reinhör-Stationen gesehen habe. Scheinbar hatte jamnd anders sich die CD zuvor reingezogen und dort liegen lassen. Das Cover hat mich angesprochen und ich hab die CD sofort in einen der CD-Spieler getan. Ich war hin und weg und knapp bei Kasse, und hab trotzdem die CD sofort gekauft. Vielen Dank, Vienna, für diese wunderschöne Erinnerung. mpfau
