Hoo! So slow, so slow Can’t take any more It’s a losing situation for us both Don’t go, don't go We’re getting close I’ll be standing right beside you, out in the cold Each and every moment getting anxious more and more All the while I know for sure it’s not your fault It’s just I say It’s a matter of trust You say I don’t get it at all We don’t Get to give it a try Tell you a secret I’m bad at goodbyes Ah yeah Oh yeaaah eh eh Ah yeah! Hey eh So slow, so slow Taking so long We are hurting right this minute and it’s getting old Don’t go, don't go We’re already low In a way we’ll be much higher, down the road I say It’s a matter of trust You say I don’t get it at all We don’t Get to give it a try Tell you a secret I’m bad at goodbyes Ah yeah Oh yeaaah eh eh Ah yeah! Ah yeah! Ah yeah! Hey eh! Ah yeah! Oh yeah! Hey eh! Each and every moment getting anxious more and more But Baby, I know it's not your fault

I know you didn’t set out to make me mad But the truth is you made me mad I need a moment by myself By myself means on my own I need a minute alone Truth be told I don’t want to let you Down down down down down Truth be told But I don’t want to lose myself in the process Now... My head is back to what it used to do And I got to feeling that I’m missing you It’s a feeling I enjoy Like a softness in the air Think I’m ready to share Truth be told I don’t want to let you Down down down down down Truth be told But I don’t want to lose myself in the process Truth be told I don’t want to let you Down down down down down Truth be told I already feel like I have It’s not about what you said Nor about the way or why More about what I left Can I give it one more try It’s not about what you said Nor about the way or why More about what I left Can I give it one more try Truth be told I don’t want to let you Down down down down down Truth be told But I don’t want to lose myself in the process Truth be told I don’t want to let you Down down down down down Truth be told I already feel like I have

Nuts and bolts in a machine Holding on to what we have Always close but we don’t know how we’re attached Keeping cool or blowing steam Couldn’t say what’s going on I can fix it if you tell me what is wrong Rolling, tumbling, coming, leaving I can not control what I feel Talking, touching, laughing, seeing I can feel it enter my dream Skipping rope with do’s and don’ts Got us playing hide and seek Sometimes one can’t find the other for a week I don’t want to be alone But for now I’m high and dry Calmly waiting for the storm to pass me by Rolling, tumbling, coming, leaving I can not control what I feel Talking, touching, laughing, seeing I can feel it enter my dream I’ve been losing sleep I’ve been losing sleep I’ve been losing sleep I’ve been losing sleep Aah Rolling, tumbling, coming, leaving I can not control what I feel What I feel Talking, touching, laughing, seeing I can feel it enter my dream Ro-o-obling lealing coling beaving I can not control what I feel (I’ve been losing sleep) What I feel (I’ve been losing sleep) Taughing seeching lassing teaking I can feel it enter my dream (I’ve been losing sleep) Hmm (I’ve been losing sleep) Yeah ooh

about

“We wanted to stay boys for as long as possible, because men are so shit. Oh well.''

On Good News, indie pop duo Ciao Lucifer decides it's time to accept their manhood. High school friends Marnix Dorrestein and Willem Wits sing “It's too late to die young”, but if they’re going to grow up, they want to do it in their own way. “The biggest fear is Don Draper,” says Marnix, “we want to learn to talk openly about our emotions, dreams and needs.”
In 13 fresh indie-pop songs they describe the kind of grown-ups they want to become. Willem: “Strong and vulnerable, compassionate and independant, reliable and adventurous. All at once." The record is cheerful and energetic. If you listen more closely you’ll hear how they have woven their demons into the songs. Marnix explains: “We don't feel too cool to be a 'feel good band', but actually we sing about very personal things. If the end result is that we make people happy and can make them dance, it's mission accomplished."

There is a lot to discover on Good News: oil to loosen your hips, food for thought and lyrics to sing along from the first listen.
