You can’t keep this bird from flying You can’t keep this child from crying You can’t keep this vow from dying You can’t chop of your hands with your hands You can’t keep this world from turning You can’t keep this kid from learning You can’t keep this fire from burning You can’t stop off the time by making plans Love is all we need to follow Love is yesterday’s tomorrow Love is all we need to follow So I take my feet and run for Run for love

All that matters comes to fall And winter brings sun and spring A circle starts anew untorn A sounding bell, heaven and hell The whole world is a grain of sand Rippling through an hourglass And you can’t keep it at no cost Just let it go and nothing’s lost You’ll start once more Though we can’t make a moment last The time’s encore Is still the piece she’s playing best You’ve got your eyes full of whirls Got to black holes to swallow worlds And capture what you see inside A mirror world behind your eyes So turn around and upside down ’til what you lack is what you have And what you seek is what you get ’til you is all and all is you And two is one and one is two And new is old and old is new And I know what I’m telling You’ll start once more Though we can’t make a moment last The time’s encore Is still the piece she’s playing best

There is no way recurring ’til all lessons have been learned there’s no phoenix from the ashes when the bird has never burned We’re all in this together, in the end you’re on your own You’re talking to yourself while you’re talking on the phone If you can’t win still non of us have won[Textflussumbruch]I don’t mean to be a pressure but the math has to be done There’s nothing I can give you but I’ll give you this advice You'll remember every time that fate fucks up your dice When you go way down there’s a hope you’ve got, there’s a hope you call to keep your heart save there’s a hope you’ve got, a hope you call You will last and we will last in all the worlds the gods have made You’ll live up to, we’ll live up to all the gods the worlds created[Textflussumbruch]You will last and we will last in speed of light and restful shades strolling ‘bout the golden waves, licking off the dust of space There is no way recurring ’til all lessons have been learned there’s no phoenix from the ashes when the bird has never burned We’re all in this together, in the end you’re on your own Nobody's without fault but still it's raining stones When you’re out in the currents and you hear the sirens call When you’re facing the abyss and you know you’re gonna fall In the bowels of the whale in the gloom of every night there’s a button to be pressed to turn back on the light When you go way down there’s a hope you’ve got, there’s a hope you call to keep your heart save there’s a hope you’ve got, a hope you call You will last and we will last in all the worlds the gods have made You’ll live up to, we’ll live up to all the gods the worlds created[Textflussumbruch]You will last and we will last in speed of light and restful shades strolling ‘bout the golden waves, licking off the dust of space but you can’t remember anymore, you can’t remember, remember anymore you can’t remember anymore, you can’t remember, remember anymore

It will work out better when you’re gone I hate to say it but I’m not wrong We’ve been standing for too long In each others ways, you’ll get along When you’re gone When you’re gone A thousand miles will get you far Why don’t you take the next car I’ll never wonder where you are But we’ll still be under the same star When you’re gone When you’re gone When you’re gone When you’re gone A light still shimmers in your hair Why would you sit and stare At things ahead, be aware Of candy sticks if you dare When you’re gone When you’re gone When you’re gone When you’re gone

about

Every week countless new songs are released by countless new musicians - and it feels like there are less and less classic bands. A few years ago, a lot of just those pushed into the mostly rare rehearsal rooms of the big and even smaller cities, today it seems trendy to assert one's own artistic vision radically autonomous, to do one's thing as a solo act.
If there are fewer and fewer bands today, perhaps the ones that have been around for a few years, are all the more urgently needed. Onemillionsteps are exactly this kind.

After first songs together in 2013, little happened for a long time before the northern Germans started working on new material years later. Last year they dared to make a new start with three carefully selected songs. And exactly now seems to be the right time for the first major release, on which the band can play out all their strengths:

The trio around singer Nora Oertel will release the debut album "White Is All Colors" on the Berlin-based label Listenrecords. On the album you will find songs of quite wide sound range, sometimes rough and angry like The Kills and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, then again airy and dreamy like Big Thief or Julien Baker.

"White Is All Colors" by Onemillionsteps is a classic band album in the best sense, resisting the isolationist tendencies of the present with marked success. Several cooks provide a tasty diverse porridge, from which wants to be nibbled again and again. A crystallization point that shows how valuable a long common band history can be - because without the associated artistic and interpersonal trust this album would not have been possible.
