![]() ![]() By the break of the day I’ll be on my way and I don’t care ‘bout what they might say. Maybe hitchhike to Brussels or Amsterdam, jump on a train or a van. ‘Do this and don’t do that’ – they’re driving him mad. ‘You’d better read a good book’, said his dad. ‘Why don’t you go and join a club’, his mummy said. He knew somehow he’s gonna make it, he almost believed that it was true. His parents to the left of him, his classmates to the right – for sure he’d escape that night and leave them all behind.įor he wanted to be somebody special, he wanted to be somebody new. He neither had no girlfriend nor buddies to impress. He kept telling himself that his whole life was a mess. He never did a thing the other kids considered cool, doing everything correctly, being everybody’s fool.īut he wanted to be somebody special, he wanted to be somebody new. He always paid attention, obeying all the rules. When he was still a young boy he used to go to school. So you just let it happen, let it happen, let it happen, happen. Maybe you don’t want to stop anymore, anymore. But each step you take and each drink lead you on and it’s harder and harder to stop If you just knew what it is that you want you would surely be likely to stop. And another fatal affair is already on its way, on its way. Don’t think ‘bout tomorrow, there’s only today. It’s already too late now so you let yourself go as you wave reason goodbye …Īnd you dance the night away. But resistance is low when your alcohol level rises high. You won’t go as far as last time tonight, that’s what you swore. You know this has happened too many times before. There’s no sense in trying to fight it – but you don’t want to anywayĪnd you dance the night away. There’s a certain hunger to still, you’re burning with a fever that you know just too well. You know when you’re out on your own what a waste it would be to go home – at this time of night. It’s late at night and you can’t fall asleep again – but you don’t want to anyway. But will I have the strength to leave it all behind me? One Day I’ll have the power to say ‘No’ – Farewell, sweet vertigo! Cold sweat is oozing from my aching pores - Do I really want more? One day there will be calmness, one day when I am free. Ĭoming back to life now I look around and see: The room is full of people, people just like me. And as my hunger grows unbearably strong I touch the soil with the tip of my tongue. I leave a slimy track behind me as I head for some luminous plants. Lying nakedly, face to face with the moist soil, and like a snail I start to crawl. ![]() Now there’s darkness all around me and I’m left here all alone. I sink into a bed that’s made of clay and watch you melt away So I reach out to hold you, but suddenly I find I cannot move a single joint, I guess I’m paralyzed. Like coral reefs at night your eyes do shine – I want to make you mine. ![]() I turn around and start to run, that’s when I see your face. I realize I find myself inside a giant maze. I reach out and clutch some objects in the air, even though there’s nothing thereīody and soul, out of control. Its moving to the very bottom of my naked feet. I feel it in my fingertips, an icy kind of heat. I lay down on the ground and let it reign – here it comes again. I can feel it coming, rushing through my veins, heading for my senses, heading for my brains. Via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Includes unlimited streaming of Next Stop Vertigo With this InVertigo has delivered a debut album which puts the band on the prog map and hopefully on the bill of some of summer festivals as well. Especially The Night and the mini-epic Special are enjoyable, because of the breaks and tempo shifts and a slight Yes-touch from the Drama-period (1980). The songs have just that bit of an edge to keep them - despite their easy-to-the-ear sound - interesting for the die-hard prog fan. Fortunately, InVertigo steers clear of the overly commercial pitfall. InVertigo makes the music Sylvan or even RPWL could have made if these bands would have been a bit more commercial. Of course, these songs contain some extended instrumental passages, but these never turn into a 'look-momma-I-can-do-it-without-hands' freak show. Singer Sebastian Brennert has a nice voice which leads us smoothly through these medium-long songs. The music is a blend of neo-prog and pop-rock. InVertigo is a German prog band that recorded a debut album with only six songs that last approximately 52 minutes. ![]()
