about

We are digital civilians. Somewhere between reflection, comedy and hyperarousal. Shaped, inspired, seduced, manipulated by floods of data - of information - in real time. A constant and proven overload for the human brain. Simultaneously toxic and wholesome. Inconsistent and bewildering. At times, grotesque and enlightening. Always ambiguous. “Holiday Season” is a collage full of details and surprises - a stroll through the feeds of our time.

lyrics

I try to make sense of the world
I try to wrap my head around ev’ry single word
impossible, no
noisy noise
nothing but the ego
you and me though
just a bunch of you’s and me’s though

flying proud like an eagle
play hide and seek with the seagull or the weasel
I’m feeling nothing
I’m feeling great
I’m feeling sorry
I gotta feeling this is fake
fake
news spreading quicker
skin getting thicker
they use the gram and twitter just to bicker
next thing you know they use their language as a trigger
but we need both eyes to see the bigger picture

no culture, no clan
no conscience, no hang
no science, no gang
no rockstar, no fan

no religion, no fam
no holiday, no tan
no woman, no man
no future, no plan
no limit no ban


I try to make peace with the world
I try to internalize ev’ry single word
I swallow them whole
then I spit ‘em out again
I usually just use two out of ten

I recycle
rework
renew
rewind
reward
for being one of a kind
fooled me
all the noise got me blind
the boys choir singing “Georgia On My Mind”

all the noise got me blind
all the noise got me numb
all the boys got me dumb
all the chores got me sick
I choose and I pick my bubble
…gum
I’m the right one
I’m the chosen one and
I’m the only one

no mirror, no crumb
no burger, no bun
no bullet, no gun
no ice in the sun

not ten and not one
not silly not dumb
no, Forrest, don’t run
no thinking, no fun
no bitches, no


It’s a holiday, it’s a holiday
It’s a holiday, it’s a holiday
don’t like the games you play, ey
It’s a holiday, it’s a holiday
It’s a holiday, it’s a holiday
why don’t we roll away
It’s a holiday, it’s a holiday
holiday season, so let’s go outside


If only I knew I know nothing
I knew I know nothing at all. I know nothing at all
If only I knew I know nothing
I knew I know nothing at all. I know nothing at all

about

SALOMEA image

SALOMEA Cologne, Germany

Pushing boundaries. SALOMEA manifests a dazzling contemporary multi-genre melting pot: Music as a deep conversation, a band taking risks, a voice like from another sphere, precise and warm. Defining music as art, with profound belief in love, courage and honesty. Asking for open minded ears to face this carefully balanced proposition of the music of the future. ... more
