EVEOLUTION - out now!
EVEOLUTION contains raised fingers, criticism and accusations but also opened hearts, wishful thinking and hope.
01/ BOOTLICKER
Inspired by that memorable day when Trump heat up the flame and ordered his followers to storm the capitol...Bootlickers who make his power possible in the first place. Dedicated to all the Trumps, Putins, Xi Jinpings and Erdogans in the world...and the list goes on.
02/ DRIFTER
For those beyond us who do not know their place in society. Struggling a lifetime without the ability to drift. Some of us aren´t a fitting cogwheel in the gearbox but the grease, that keeps everything running.
03/ LONG WAY TO GO
To the loved ones! For the certainty to have a home to come to where these people are. In a fast world, delivering under pressure, smiling in faces we don't like...to the ones we belong to!
04/ SOUL, HEART & MIND
Inspired by the horrific images of the war in Ukraine in 2022. Atrocities were always there since dawn of human history which was written with blood. When will we learn from the mistakes in the past?
05/ FALLOUT
Are there more oppertunistic species in space than humanity? Our existence gears towards expansion, everything is subject to economic progress. Who are we? Brain or cancer cells...and what will remain? Will we take the next step or are we just fallout?
06/ ROLLERCOASTER
The ups and downs in life. Fast lane and slowdowns by fate. In this song, Olli is focused on the fast lane and the associated rush of adrenalin. Wet hands while waiting in the line...
07/ YOU
A very personal dedication to Olli´s wife who made him a better man and literally put light into his former darkness. This song started it all.
08/ SHOW ME YOUR LIGHT
A song about the pain you get when you feel like you are the only person alive questioning everything you do. Depression, darkness, doubts and struggling...but this feeling is fooling you. You are NOT alone!
09/ FIND YOUR OWN WAY
A reckoning with self proclaimed friends. Hard times separate real ones to fakes...so Olli had to say goodbye to one or another.
10/ NO ONE
Going out to old, new and true friends who take you as you really are and appreciate what is given. Of course this for all of you who contracted the Parasyte. We have the cure...
11/ GONE
Sometimes you just want to set sails to leave everything behind. Burden, expectations, disappointments...to a day or place where you don't plan any steps. No clue what tomorrow will bring. Is there a key to happiness?
12/ BEAUTY OF A GIANT
Who tells us what we can be? How to look? Who sets the rules for what we can achieve..or not? Who sets the line between too fat or too skinny? Old and young? We all are the beauty of a giant wo can achieve everything he makes his mind up on. Consider there is no place you can't go!
13/ ECHOES
We are spinning in a circle. We recognize consequences but we do not learn from them. It's an echo. Repeating itself. We stage our lives and orient ourselves towards virtual reach. Moral and ethical questions remain unanswered...like echoes in our minds.
14/ LOADED
Aimed to all religious fanatics who claim the right to impose their beliefs to others and submit to their dogma. Religion and belief is a personal right.
