baumer: on our way

baumer
were it not FOR YOU



baumer is one of the 13 cds i bought for $1 apiece en masse when in philly over christmas break. having fixed my optical drive, i finally managed to import all of them and actually listen to them. this is one of the ones i enjoy more so far. labeled "alternative" in genre by my itunes, baumer has certain techno, synthetic aspects, especially in the underlying beats but is accompanied by fairly mellow soothing vocals. still upbeat enough to keep me working and want to sing along but not too overpowering. simple lyrics mostly, but still fairly well crafted in subtlety and meaning balanced. unfortunately - the band is "done" according to their myspace page. at least they have this one album (and a debut album i haven't heard)

"on our way"

what's with the lonely it's out of place
you know i am here beside you.
i'll try my best.
i've tested the waters and they are deep enough for two.
closer now, closer to my heart,
i'll pull up until i slip again.
faster now; fasten, i'm the driver;
i'll steer us into a happy end.
it's a wonderful world in terms of potential.
no wonder it's special.

on our way, no stopping now, baby.
all the way, slowly counting down days to.
on our way, no stopping now, baby.
all the way, slowly counting down days to go.

we're slowly counting down days to go.

don't hide your crying inside your hands
you know i'll do everything i can.
i'll break my back, in fact, i have once or twice;
still, i'll do it again.
closer now, closer to my heart,
i'll pull up until my fingers break.
faster now; fasten, i'm the driver;
i'll steer us straight with all my strength.
it's a wonderful world in terms of potential.
no wonder it's special.

on our way, no stopping now, baby.
all the way, slowly counting down days to.
on our way, no stopping now, baby.
all the way, slowly counting down days to go.

no stopping now, we're counting down days.
no stopping now, we're counting down.

on our way, no stopping now, baby.
all the way, slowly counting down days to.
on our way, no stopping now, baby.
all the way, slowly counting down days to go.
