Running 02:56
lyrics
RUNNING Dark are the dreams set in my head Meet me beyond the watershed I’ve been running, I’ve been running And I don’t think I can stake my life on a good thing He said I’d spoken out of turn Beaten and broken, now to burn I’ve been running, It’s been coming But I don’t think I can stake my life on a good thing I’ll say stop Then we both say go Now we’re stuck in the middle Where no-one knows For goodness sake, why don’t you make it Second time around Dark are the dreams set in my head Meet me beyond the watershed I’ve been running, I’ve been running And I don’t think I can stake my life on a good thing And I don’t think I can stake my life - on a good thing

Can You Hear Me 02:35
lyrics
Can You Hear Me There’s nowhere to run Now you come to find me The feature’s begun Showing right behind me Cos you’re living what you learn, like it’s new and shiny Just until you start to burn, as you laugh divinely Oh, can you hear me Can you now, Can you now? All your amateur fun Some would say could blind you In your search for the sun When they come to find you You’re taking your turn But it’s not my concern (Cos I’m so sick and tired) Oh, can you hear me Can you now, Can you now? Ancient story, never ending Now it’s time to stop pretending... Oh, can you hear me Can you now, Can you na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na,na,na, now?

Russian Storm 05:48
lyrics
RUSSIAN STORM I can’t change you I can’t change, the place you’re going Brand new, improved Gone, by, now, the scent of rust The summer’s gone and now’s the time, Remember me By reason, not design And now that Russian storm is blowing over me There’ll be another sign along the way Let memories define, The future says, You know you’ll never win My heart and not my mind, would disagree Dreams that come true My wish, more, than you could ever Hope, eternal Why, we two want more than that Now our summer’s gone and come the time, Remember me By reason, not design Rain down all around me Cos you and I know just what is true But I can’t see your thoughts about me And you don’t know my shades of blue I can’t blame you Something strange, is what we’re going through North by Southwest Who can tell, or know when you’ll be Back again and come the time, Remember me By reason, not design And now that Russian storm is blowing over me You’ll learn to speak your mind along the way Let memories decide, the role of truth and pride That one thing on your mind, would disappear...

Stranger 02:58
lyrics
STRANGER Stranger than what you feel Stranger that what is real Oh stranger than what you mean to me Changing as you reveal a Danger that’s so surreal, Deranging my mind to the first degree It’s a strange situation Roll around What we’re coming to It’s a strange situation Hold the line, What’s come over you? Painful as stainless steel And sharp enough, to not conceal The way that you’re pretending not to be You and your angel eyes Turning the world around, tell me what do Oh and it’s no surprise You’ll see what tomorrow brings, now it’s up to you Now it’s up to you…

One and the Same 02:39
lyrics
One & the Same Those old hand-me-downs You bought for half-a-crown, You can throw ‘em away You’ll, take the long way round To find what you have found It’s a part of the game Then I find out, Underneath the world is turning Shine on, brighter than the sun Any-time now, Your belief, the fire burning Shine down, smile on everyone Cos we’re one and the same Six feet underground You wouldn’t make a sound At the end of the day Turn round, new to town, there’s No need to explain To the sound of the rain Cos you’ll find out Far beneath your wild yearning Step by step, you are the one And the rhyme and reason Mean it’s open season Good, clean, dangerous and fun Cos we’re one and the same...
6.
Forgive Me 04:26
lyrics
Forgive Me Time after time seen the sweet dream die Like the rhyme says, I’m running from myself So I signed on the line for the big wheel ride Someone told me, you leave to weave your spell As the seasons arrive, so the tree stays alive Got the feeling I’m running after you But if we take the time, Solitaire, valentine So you see it’s true, I’ve learned a thing or two Forgive me reason, Forgive me things that I’ve done Forgive me all the lonely peace of mind I thought I should have won Forgive me feelings Forgive the weakness that I’ve shown Forgive me all the times I’ve robbed you blind And left you far behind / on your own Crazy and kind, seems I’m losing my mind For the crimes of love I’m paying with my health For that carousel, rides through heaven, rides through hell If a thing’s worth doing, a thing’s worth doing well With the turn of the tide, turns your darkness to light, And the sweetness of your loving will return And then when, worlds collide, leave your heart to be your guide And believe that you have better things to do Don’t deny me, Cos I’m coming back for more, Now that’s for sure Buttered skies and June disguised The many things that we forgot to, Save, for another day Forgive me, for the things I know I've done, When I thought I should have won, Forgive me...

Ordinary Way 06:08
lyrics
Roadway up on your side o’the county Roll away the bridges, burn the hay Multiply the blood line Hide out in your solitary way Quantify your terms and bounty I believe the ceiling’s low Wonder why the wild one Suffers in your momentary pain Right time of the year Waiting for the choir of angels Scrambled coming here Hate to think that I’m just killing time You say something here Reminds you of a kind of veil of tears Your soul, you say, in your ordinary way Woe betide your sleepless counting You’re beside yourself again Treat me like the child, and Hope against all hope you cannot fail High time of the year Waiting for the choir of angels Scrambled coming here Hate to think that I’m just killing time You say something here Reminds you of a kind of veil of tears Your soul, you say, in your ordinary way Second guessing what you’re missing, Oh, you never can tell Bruising gently, heaven sent me, No, the fires of hell, well you never can tell… You’ve been selling songs from your window Did you ever tame that stony ground? Craven or mistaken Dreaming of the loss you’ve never found I’ve been waiting here Feels like nigh-on half a million years Scrambled coming here Hate to think that I’m just killing time You say something here Reminds you of a kind of veil of tears Your soul, you say, in your ordinary way

I'm a Fool 03:08
lyrics
I’m a Fool I’m a fool to love you I feel I’m getting deeper every day Oh, I’m a fool to love you But it’s easier to find that out The hard way The King of Cool is Not my middle name But your careless words They’ve been driving me insane But I know, I know you care for me Only got myself to blame As I see you go, I hear myself complain When it’s all, said and done And the winner hasn’t won It’s experience that tells you You’ve turned pleasure into pain And when you’re climbing up the wall Ever higher, bound to fall There’s a truth that’s hurt Your foolish heart again I’m a fool to love you Feel I’m getting deeper every day Oh, I’m a fool to love you But it seems I’ve got to find that out The hard way Cos it’s easier to find that out The hard way
9.
Bad 03:57
lyrics
BAD Father McKane, can you tell me something Like a brother to me, just another to you Turning amateur wit, and Sunday coming down Could you take me by the hand Cos I am safe while sleeping Fooling around, and telling us one thing A table for three, for two of a kind Simple to see, Enjoy it while you can But it’s always goodwill hunting And that’s not my master plan Because it’s bad, bad, bad It’s not my promised land And cos it’s sad, sad, sad, you’ve got to understand Because my, heart is breaking, Let it in and let it out That’s what it’s all about Simpleton Steve, are you telling me something You’re out of your brain, you’re out of the blue At the top of the tree, it’s there for you and me Now he’s kissed me on the hand And yes, he wants to join the band But it’s too bad, bad, bad You’ve read between the lines Because it’s bad, bad, bad Your devil in disguise Because the times are changing Let it in and let it out That’s what it’s all about Everybody tries to pick a stranger by that something in their eyes I don’t find a danger, I can change it, or arrange it in the stars...
10.
It Will Come to Pass 03:46
lyrics
It Will Come to Pass You’ll bring silence I’ll bring gold, on Your connivance I’ll be counting because, Hesitating, it’s my intention You’re slowly fading, and not to mention It’s my belief that, It will come to pass Out of sequence Made to measure I don’t mind that It’s a leisure of love Oh, you ain’t changed As I turn my face to the wind and rain Keep on coming back for more More than a game As you take your turn Now you started leaving You’re on your hands and knees Calm and quiet In my time zone See how you’ve grown Slowly holding above Hesitating, it’s my intention You’re slowly fading, and not to mention It’s my belief that, It will come to pass
11.
Too Far Gone 03:28
lyrics
Too Far Gone Well it’s nice you left the mirror, on the wall you found delight And you know the way you’re feeling is what makes me feel alright So that, if the way you really think is, what you really mean You’re too far gone, you’re too far gone Well it’s nice she left her number on the mantelpiece tonight Well there’s no, forgiving my concern, in this fool’s paradise So if I could leave without you seeing Shadows on the sun, You’re too far gone, you’re too far gone You’re too far gone, you’re too far gone Well you know that, I blame you You always seem to fall apart again And then, you know, it’s so unseemly, Go, again, and you won’t see me Well your keys are on the table, and your coat’s still in the hall But the things that used to mean so much mean, - Nothing more at all - For you unknown, and me alone The writing’s on the wall, You’re too far gone, you’re too far gone You’re too far gone, you’re too far gone You’re too far gone, you’re too far gone
12.
Little Bit 03:16
lyrics
Little Bit A little bit, little bit, little bit of your love Can wipe away that pain Erase the feeling of “we don’t like it” A little bit, little bit, little bit of your love In body, soul and mind Enough to find When I need “inspiration” Some of the things I’ve got to say’ll make you happy, Some will make you sad Wouldn’t be worth just any Tom, Dick or Harry It’s the best thing, that I’ve ever had, you know A-hey, hey, hey, Your irresistible love shines down on me A little bit, little bit, little bit of your love We’ll never know your names But on this evidence “now we like you” A little bit, little bit, little bit of your love Can fizz me like champagne From heart to brain A feeling of “now we’ve started” Some of the things I’ve got to say are short and snappy Some are really bad But we can help you with the load you’ve got to carry And we’ll play the clown as we live your fantasy I’d like the time to carry on, but we’re Here for the taking, got no mind to move along But like bread is to the baker, like the cobbles on your shoes We’re here to take your money and we’re here to take your….

about

THE WILDFIRES -- ONE (Bio in Deutsch - siehe unten)

The Wildfires, who hail from Tennessee, USA and London, England, first met in Berlin, Germany and have been playing music together since summer 2012.

Their music has been described as "Simon & Garfunkel meets Emmylou Harris round at Dolly Parton's house where Paul Weller's trying to break in.” It’s a mix of Country, Pop and Folk, but not as we know it.

The Wildfires believe in getting to the heart of the matter, and it’s their perfect, heartfelt harmonies that can really cut and twist the listener, blurring the line between pain and pleasure. There's always something exciting, something thrilling in their songs, something which one can put down to their interwoven dual harmony vocals which carry a deep emotional edge, reminiscent of the duets sung by Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons or Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell back in the 1970's – Paul Bonin and Elizabeth Carlton have come upon a real treasure in their mutual musicianship which they have turned into something touching and true …

With their unique transatlantic blend of voices, The Wildfires have succeeded in creating their own Brit-Americana sound, and they've just finished recording their first album "One", produced by David Young, who has also produced the albums of John Cale, Nico and Element of Crime, amongst many others.

Paul Bonin (London, UK) has been a songwriter for 25 years. He’s worked with some of the top names in the German pop industry, and some well-known English ones too. “I’ve always loved singing harmonies, but this is something very special”, says Paul about his new singing partnership.

Elizabeth Carlton (Tennessee, USA) has been blessed with the beautiful and unique gift of an amazing singing voice and a sensitive feel for a fine and touching lyric. She also possesses a fine collection of summer dresses.

The Wildfires are a first-class singer-songwriter duet who truly deserve to be up there with the greats of their genre. Their new album "One", produced by David Young, bears excellent witness to this fact.

In the tradition of Johnny Cash and June Carter, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, Sonny and Cher, and Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell, The Wildfires present their finely worked debut album “One”.

THE WILDFIRES -- ONE

The Wildfires, die sowohl Tennessee in den USA und London in England ihren Heimathafen nennen, spielen seit dem Sommer 2012 in Berlin zusammen. Ihre Musik wurde bisher beschrieben als „Simon & Garfunkel trifft Emmylou Harris bei Dolly Parton zuhause während Paul Weller versucht einzubrechen“. Es ist ein Mix aus Country und Folk, aber nicht so wie wir ihn kennen.

The Wildfires kommen zur Sache und es sind ihre perfekten Harmonien, die von Herzen kommen, welche dem Hörer durch Mark und Bein gehen, wodurch die Band die Grenze zwischen Schmerz und Vergnügen verzerrt. In ihren Songs schwingt immer etwas Aufregendes mit in den praktisch fast durchgehend zweistimmigen Gesängen – Paul Bonin und Elizabeth Carlton sind beim gemeinsamen Musikmachen auf etwas Berührendes und Wahrhaftiges gestoßen…

Das Duo „The Wildfires“ fand sich Mitte 2012 in Berlin zusammen um ihren eigenen Brit-Americana Sound zu erzeugen und hat mittlerweile gerade ihr erstes Album „One“ fertig gestellt, dass von David Young produziert wurde, der unter anderem auch John Cale, Nico und Element of Crime produziert hat.

Paul Bonin (London, UK) ist seit 25 Jahren Songwriter. Er hat bisher sowohl mit einigen der Top Namen der deutschen als auch der englischen Pop Industrie zusammengearbeitet. „Ich habe es schon immer geliebt Harmonien zu singen, aber das hier ist wirklich etwas sehr Besonderes“, sagt Paul über seine neue Gesangsbegleitung.

Elizabeth Carlton (Tennessee, USA) ist gesegnet mit einer wunderschönen und sowohl einzigartigen als auch großartigen Gesangsstimme und einem sensiblen Gefühl für gute und berührende Texte. Sie besitzt außerdem eine beeindruckende Sammlung von Sommerkleidern…

The Wildfires sind ein erstklassiges Singer/Songwriter Duo, sie entfalten eine wirklich neue eigene Dynamik jenseits bisher eingespielter Duo Pfade - „One“ ist ein hervorragend produziertes Album von David Young, in der Tradition von Johnny Cash and June Carter, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, Sonny and Cher sowie Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell.
