about

LIFELINE is a song that I wrote before STATE’s European tour in 2019, an unfinished version of it was played live at Sinner’s Fest in Belgium that same year; realizing that the song wasn’t quite ready to flex its wings I decided not to yet release it. There was something special about this song that I hadn’t really quite gotten at the time. Although the chorus of this song has always stayed the same, the verses have had many variations, never being quite happy with the lyrics kept delaying its release. Then in 2023, and in expectancy of our baby boy Johann Andres, the lyrics finally take shape.

This song could be related and adapted to many things, and maybe give various meanings and interpretations to different listeners, the case for me is my experience seeing my wife pregnant and becoming part of the beginning stages of a new life, the bond between mother and child, from a very early stage in the womb. Seeing how my wife has dealt with our pregnancy and the determination that she has kept moving forward and fighting for our baby, despite the daily migraine headaches and body aches is simply outstanding and something to feel very proud of as a husband, and as a father of course as I am sure the baby has also had to go threw a lot!

We are finally here and I really hope you enjoy this song as makes it as special for you as it is for us; I present our song "Lifeline" to the world on the day of my wedding anniversary, October 21.

lyrics

driving far on through the night
feelings buried deep within
now I feel what life is all about

I can't see but I can feel
dusk is only ’til the dawn
I just want to kiss your face goodnight

we were like splinters beneath our skin
only wanting to belong
to something that could never break away

I’ve been walking around searching for words that can explain
this ghostly feeling around me that I get not having you
‘cause when I look in your eyes they fill with joy my broken heart
and the touch of your hands that fill with faith my hopeless mind

so throw me a lifeline
just come and throw me a lifeline
go on and throw me a lifeline
just come and throw me a lifeline
throw me a lifeline
