about
'Howl' - the first single from the upcoming Puder album "Aha. Ok. Let's Surf The Planet." (release March 22nd) is a campfire song that sounds like a brighter version of Nancy Sinatra's 'Bang, Bang, he shot me' in the best sense of the word. Pure, full of longing, sad. At the same time, however, it makes us dream of the future with incredible hope. The ghosts of the past still howl in the distance, but the three-part chorus tells us that nothing can happen to us anymore.
'Howl' was created as part of the seventh Puder Session Tapes in Hamburg in February 2023 and is a live recording from the Future Echoes Showcase Festival 23 in Sweden.
lyrics
I walk through the silence
and I hear my own beat
forget about the demons
that are haunting me
and I pass my reflections
in a crystal clear lake
while I thought to see nothing
since I feel like a ghost
My bones do feel heavy
and I long for a pause
the trees overshadow
all my thoughts about loss
and I see my reflection in the river below
and from far, far away
I hear them howl
Far away
and the moon is not guiding my way
and I hide away
I hear them howl
Stuck to the past
with no moon above
the stars were all laughing
‘bout the rules that we grew
but I would go anyway
in deep water
(deep water)
Came out from the lake
‘cause I hear them call
starring for attention
for the love all around
but I wouldn’t go back anyway
I hear them howl
Far away
and the moon is not guiding my way
and I hide away
I hear them howl
I walk through my forest
and I hear the trees talk
in a language I know
quite too well
In the blackest of night
I’m followed by
the creatures I kept hidden well
The trees are trying to hug me
and the leaves are trying to hold me
and the howl is trying to put its spell
upon my soul, my weary soul
I kept hidden so well
Far away
and the moon is not guiding my way
and I hide away
I hear them howl
Far away
and the moon is not guiding my way
and I hide away
I hear them howl
and I hide away
I hear them howl
and I hide away
I hear them howl
