about

This is the 2nd single from the upcoming album.

‘Sweet Detours’ is a tribute to chance and the detours that constantly find you. The structured human has a tendency to deviate from the original plan for surprisingly outside elements. A game between the well-considered stereotype and the spontaneous fool.

‘Sweet Detours’ was difficult to record and get right as Funch was not satisfied with the sound of the drums during the recording session. This resulted in him buying a bottle of whiskey, miking up most of the studio, taking off most of his clothes and ramming his body into the walls and floors in the studio at full force. This ended up being the drum track of the song. Another surprise info is that the supporters of the local football team involuntarily sings the choir part on the track, roaming through the song as a constant drone.

lyrics

I ́m way too earthbound
Please get me higher
I don ́t know how come
Don ́t ask me why

And everyday they ́re stuck around me
Ghosts on a sunny day
Always politely asking them
But they don ́t want to go away
Sweet, sweet detours

And I think they are forever
And I guess I was here before
Another drunken sailor who never got his ship ashore
Sweet, sweet detours

Sometimes my spirit tires
Sometimes my temper explodes
I honestly don ́t know why you don ́t speak up at all
Sweet, sweet detours

I close my eyes but stay awake
My god is alive
My demons are dead
I want to stay blind but I see instead

And I think they are forever
And I guess I was here before
Another drunken failure who never got his shit ashore
Sweet, sweet detours

Why am I if I am no more?
Why am I?
