Du bist da und ich bin hier und ich schlag die Zeit tot weiß nicht wohin mit ihr Ich kann dich fast nicht mehr erreichen du bist die ganze Zeit auf Reisen und ich, ich liege hier Doch jede gute Literatur hat keinen Plot auf dem Rücken, aber wenn ich so zurückdenk' krieg ich ein schlechtes Gewissen Hab ich zu wenig gesehen, zu viel getan, hab ich die Wege verfehlt, die doch eigentlich da waren? War das hier eigentlich der falsche Weg? Du bist da und ich bin hier und ich schlag die Zeit tot weiß nicht wohin mit ihr Du bist weit weg und postest Bilder Sonne, Meer, lachende Kinder und ich spaziere hier Doch jede gute Literatur hat keinen Plot auf dem Rücken, aber wenn ich so zurückdenk' krieg ich ein schlechtes Gewissen Hab ich zu wenig gesehen, zu viel getan, hab ich die Wege verfehlt, die doch eigentlich da waren? War das hier eigentlich schlecht? Doch jede gute Literatur hat keinen Plot auf dem Rücken, aber wenn ich so zurückdenk' krieg ich ein schlechtes Gewissen, aber was ich hiervon mitnehm' sind mehr als ein paar Briefe, von denen ich eigentlich mehr schreibe als ich kriege, aber geholfen hat es trotzdem Jetzt bist du da, du bist wieder hier und ich schlag immer noch die Zeit tot Ich liege hier

Let me 03:13
Let me take it high the music's making me cry I am alright My voice is almost gone I've been singing for far too long nothing's wrong As four people start to sing and everybody just joins in it's happening Let me take it high the music's making me cry I am alright My voice is almost gone I've been singing for far too long nothing's wrong The echo of the staircase makes everything much louder in my ear the sound never disappears Let me take it high the music's making me cry I am alright My voice is almost gone I've been singing for far too long nothing's wrong And even though it's freezing cold and I'm sitting right next to the door Let me take it high the music's making me cry My voice is almost gone I've been singing for far too long nothing's wrong Let me take it high the music's making me cry tonight

Summer 01:35
I just got myself three new hoodies 'cause it's gotten cold You messaged me saying you were staying home I asked you how the vibes were and you said they were low and I can imagine that because you didn't respond to my joke And I know that's a bad sign there is a deadline a choice is yet to be made and it's up to this evening, take it or leave it, it's gonna be bad either way I heat some leftover curry up sit on the counter, read a book and I haven't been outside all day I'm still wearing my pj's and I guess it's too late to change for today anyway so I decide to chill and stay home until I get a message that you're going And I guess that's a good sign there was a deadline a choice has been made

Harmony 03:46
I love you for casually trashing in a harmony, moving to the beat with your fingers and your feet, sitting in your armchair, sending voice mails to some friend of yours I think you're incredible And that might seem irrational but you could get some cash, you know, singing on a stage instead of working for the wage you get for sitting at the check-out counter, looking desperate for six hours on your Saturday afternoons I love you for making me shake and nod my head when I listen to the track you recorded with your dad 'cause I can just picture you standing in the vocal booth, the way you place your feet, the way your hands move you had to get up early to sing at ten o'clock you're throat is still clogged up and your voice still shot and you're doing it for no money, just doing it for the fun of it but isn't that kind of funny cause that's what I make money with and I didn't even ask for it I love you for listening to the songs that I send even though the one got stuck at 98% the first time you listened to it in the USA you said your emotions took you away I think that's flattering 'cause when I say "It's happening" you're almost always part of or the reason for the magic things and I don't think you're aware of that and sometimes that makes me sad because your grades don't support the message that I have and your talent is invisible so noone ever asks Talks about your future make you feel uncomfortable, so many dumb questions but you are not the only one I can feel the pressure that is put on you make a decision what you're gonna do but you are a singer and I know that you know and you're gonna end up making music for sure you're always saying playing the piano is too stressful but you can sing, just get up there and let go I love you for who you are and doing what you always do because it's not an effort, it is just a part of you and maybe that's the reason why I'm so amazed that you are not getting any of the praise that I get and I am undecided if I should tell them that I don't like it when they don't realize this but of course that's not what I do Instead I'm telling you in private this was the nicest thing you could have done and you nearly cried while reading this but I was just telling the truth Yes, I love you for casually trashing in a harmony because I always used to only sing the melody and I guess it was enough for you for me to do it steadily but frankly, I don't think I did anything And people just assume but assuming is wrong and that's the reason I am singing this song because no matter how far I look back you were always at least one step ahead And I made money singing songs I didn't write even though I was way far behind you vocally it was totally impossible to achieve the things you could do And you didn't believe me when I told you that that summer night when we lay in our bunk beds I was amazed that you were amazed about my amazement it was strange But I love you for thinking and singing things just like me because sometimes that is just what I need For us to start, switch, switch again, then stop awkward silence, we're both smiling just to build it up again afterwards, you don't know the actual words you're just singing nonsense you are claiming to have heard and I don't know the lyrics, either and whatever I do, your voice always seems cleaner Yes I love you for sitting in church right next to me and afterwards you'd tell me you were doubting your abilities I love you for casually trashing in your harmony when I'm sitting on your bed singing "Kiss me"

Rosi 03:03
Jumping on the counter, drinking from the faucet, waiting at 10:30 for some food climbing on my bed and lying on my blanket, taking up all the room Running through the hedge when I come back home but then walking by herself like she's all alone, playing with me from the balcony but she's too lazy to get down I just can't say no to her she's just so much better than any other cat much fatter, much softer, much better in any other way no matter how pretty others are Rosi is the best Running through the rooms like she's the queen, making all the humans angry but she doesn't seem to care a bit, oh no Waiting in the bathroom for someone to put some water in the sink so she can drink out of it then walking around with her dirty, wet paws so the floor has her little paw prints on it Lying in the sun, bathing in the sand with the ants on the warm and dirty ground but lying around is boring so she's just rolling, rolling, rolling around I just can't say no to her she's just so much better than any other cat much fatter, much softer, much better in any other way no matter how pretty others are Rosi is the best And while we're fighting about who gave her too much to eat she's sitting there right next to me almost falling asleep I just can't say no to her she's just so much better than any other cat much fatter, much softer, much better in any other way no matter how pretty others are Rosi is the best Rosi is the best Rosi is the best

Don't cry 02:10
We two have been through a lot together now and usually when I think of you I have a smile on my face and think about the stupid things we used to do But now you're gone, at three in the morning you just packed your bags and left you didn't fail to scare me one last time by leaving the puppet in your bed So don't cry when I leave again, don't cry when I go it's not a reason to get all teary-eyed now it's not a reason to go home You bought a bag, a pair of pants for way too much you told me about your funny dreams you'd come out your room in the morning, waking up, and pour old coffee in your cup But now you're gone, the kitchen is empty you took all the stuff you owned there are no more shoes outside the door and I feel like I've been left alone So don't cry when I leave again, don't cry when I go it's not a reason to get all teary-eyed now it's not a reason to go home Don't cry when I leave again, don't cry when I go it's not a reason to get all teary-eyed now it's not a reason to go home it's not a reason to go home

1st of March 02:08
Rays of sun shine into the room I wake up to the chirps of the birds on the roof of the neighbors' house The whole room is light I'm warm in my bed everything is fine but the radio's loud Isn't it always like this? The weather fools us with a sunny 1st of March The sun is shining, I think it's warm I go out, it is cold, I get in and think I might stay in today When I ride my bike through the city the sun is so low and shines right into my face I can't see my way Isn't it always like this? The weather fools us with a sunny 1st of March And when the trees are getting green, the leaves are coming back you'll ask yourself "Why did I think it was spring on that sunny 1st of March?"

Bubble bath 02:45
Every line's a struggle and I don't just make 'em up I don't take a bubble bath 'cause we don't have a tub if you put wet metal onto marble it will rust every line's a struggle but I don't make 'em up I am singing songs while putting out the food although I should keep quiet but I'm not in the mood when noone else is around except for me a God made of oranges, isn't this just sweet I hate ironing aprons 'cause they don't fit the machine the radio is playing Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" I just heard the song you once sang for the first time Every line's a struggle and I don't just make 'em up I don't take a bubble bath 'cause we don't have a tub if you put wet metal onto marble it will rust every line's a struggle but I don't make 'em up Thorns on the bushes make the way to work difficult thorns on the wall will in spring be beautiful thorns keep stinging me while I'm putting out the bird house Every line's a struggle and I don't just make 'em up I don't take a bubble bath 'cause we don't have a tub if you put wet metal onto marble it will rust every line's a struggle but I don't make 'em up

Like you 03:53
I think that I like you though I hardly know you and it's easy to say that from afar I made something of you that you're not and you'll never be and I knew that from the start if I'm honest, actually this was never meant to last Now that I'm lonely again and alone I am enjoying the freedom of thinking out loud taking the liberty to write things down knowing I will never send them, never send them, never send them out knowing I will never send them, never send them, never send them out My life is a bubble and you were not in it until I dragged you in, forced you in, without even asking if you were fine with it, or liked it There is no commitment whatsoever lose my contacts we will never speak again maybe that was intriguing to me So now that I'm lonely again and alone I am enjoying the freedom of thinking out loud taking the liberty to write things down knowing I will never send them, never send them, never send them out knowing I will never send them, never send them, never send them out So now that I'm lonely again and alone I am enjoying the freedom of thinking out loud taking the liberty to write things down knowing I will never send them, never send them, never send them out knowing I will never send them, never send them, never send them out I think that I like you though I hardly know you and it's easy to say that from afar

Home 02:43
Take my breakfast up to my room and eat it while the sun goes up a nice start in the day the air is fresh, the woods are nice, nature is around me I've got my own little room under the roof, I get a free warm meal each day I don't have to worry about a thing if I don't want to But at the end of the day I miss my people, I miss the city that I come from The places, sounds and reasons that made me come here are the ones that make me wanna go home I wanna go home I write a letter to you every day to get the feelings off my chest and I'm more than just on edge right now my motivation's less than ever before I'm feeling like I'm worth nothing at all And I'm really sort of lonely now my roommate's just gone home for the weekend It's gonna be a long two days I miss my people, I miss the city that I come from The places, sounds and reasons that made me come here are the ones that make me wanna go home I wanna go home Is this my home? It feels like home but then where do I go when I say I'm going home for the weekend Is this my home?

For my babay 03:17
I like the classiness, the trashiness, the messiness, spontaniously sing a song 'cause that's the one I wanna play all day long and it looks so nice, is just my size, don't have to move in crazy ways when I play anymore He handed me this one after a few others and I started to play it and that's when I knew this is the one I wanted Because the bass set in when I hit the lowest string and it was that alone that made me feel like coming home I like the classiness, the trashiness, the messiness, spontaniously sing a song 'cause that's the one I wanna play all day long and it looks so nice, is just my size, don't have to move in crazy ways when I play anymore And the time goes out and so does the money my parents think it's so so funny 'cause now I'm in debt and I can't pay them back Yes the time goes out and so does the money my parents think it's so so funny 'cause now I'm in debt and I can't pay them back Ever since I brought this one home I hardly play the other one and it makes me feel guilty 'cause that's the one I spent much more money on But I don't care today, I just sit down and play and let the music take me away I like the classiness, the trashiness, the messiness, spontaniously sing a song 'cause that's the one I wanna play all day long and it looks so nice, is just my size, don't have to move in crazy ways when I play anymore And the time goes out and so does the money my parents think it's so so funny 'cause now I'm in debt and I can't pay them back Yes the time goes out and so does the money my parents think it's so so funny 'cause now I'm in debt and I can't pay them back

Play the game and you'll get far play the game, you know you are a work in the progress, you can be anything you wanna be, every door is open for you everything you wanna say, say it just as long as they think you are smart, play the game If they tell you to be there in time you might as well just be there break the ice and say you're fine, they're always glad to see you when you know where you wanna go play like in a tv show, get into the next round Please whoever needs to be pleased and soon you will see you won't be out Play the game Play the game, you know you are a work in the progress, you can be anything you wanna be, every door is open for you everything you wanna say, say it just as long as they think you are smart, It doesn't matter if what they say is wrong you'll get far just as long as you play along Play the game and you'll get far play the game, you know you are a work in the progress, you can be anything you wanna be, every door is open for you everything you wanna say, say it just as long as they think you are smart, play the game

Didn't sleep well last night all this morning I've been tired and it feels so good to just sit down on a chair and close my eyes People ask me things all the time and I don't even know why 'cause I don't know the answers to any of their questions Why won't you leave me alone? Why won't you leave me alone? Didn't sleep well last night all this morning I've been trying to go back to sleep 'cause I can't get up at 5:09 My back hurts from all the lying I'm grumpy for no reason hours pass in the blink of an eye Why won't you leave me alone? Why won't you leave me alone? And now my voice is gone and I should write a children's song but I can't think of one and the time is running out My voice is gone and I should write a children's song but I can't think of one and the time is running out Why won't you leave me alone? Why won't you leave me alone?

about

ABOUT THIS ALBUM:

Best listened to on headphones.


The songs on this CD were all written and recorded by me, Peggy Reeder, between 2014 and 2016 and actually not initially meant to be released. I started writing and recording in my bedroom as a fun project (because recording songs that have never been recorded before is much more fun than doing covers!) but thought I'd share them now and let people hear what I did.

All profits from this CD will go towards my university education.
Thank you for buying this music and supporting me!



Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this record, especially
my father, Dan Reeder, for providing all the equipment, always answering my questions, investing a lot of time, effort and thought and mastering;
Nils, for the headphones, beeing a good roommate and letting me borrow your laptop when mine wouldn't work;
Artur Engler, for the cover design;
Anja, for the drawing;
Emmy, for pre-listening to the earliest songs;
Amanda, for listening and giving unqualified opinions that were valuabe, nevertheless;
Das Phantom, for dealing with me only singing the high harmonies even though the walls were paper-thin;
my family for just letting me do what I wanted to do;
Rosi, for being the best cat.
