HELLO, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I THINK, IT'S ALRIGHT. SO TELL, WHAT'S ON? DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT? YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. YOU WOULDN'T HOPE. BUT YOU CAN TRY. (YES, YOU CAN TRY.) WE JUST DON'T FEEL ANYTHING. WE JUST FEEL LOST. PAINFULLY STREAM ALONG. CAN'T SAY WHAT'S WRONG... WHAT'S THE MATTER? DO YOU CARE? DID I QUESTION? WAS IT FAIR? DID YOU TREMBLE? DID YOU FADE? FADE AWAY, FROM THAT FEELING? YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. YOU WOULDN'T HOPE. BUT YOU CAN TRY. (YES, YOU CAN TRY.) WE JUST DON'T FEEL ANYTHING. WE JUST FEEL LOST. PAINFULLY STREAM ALONG. CAN'T SAY WHAT'S WRONG... HOLD ON TIGHT, UNTIL IT FEELS RIGHT...

YOU TALK NICE. BUT YOU DON'T MEAN IT. YOU SEEM RIGHT. WHEN YOU SPEAK BY NIGHT. YOU GAIN TRUST. BUT YOU LOOSE IT FAST. IF I'D JUST SEE. IT WON'T LAST. I WASN'T TOLD TO KEEP CALM AND BEHOLD. I NEVER LEARNED TO HOLD ON WHAT I EARNED. YOU BECAME BAD AND WANTED ME MAD. PROVOKE MYSELF, LEAVE ME WITHOUT HELP... YOU ACT STRONG. BUT IT FEELS WRONG. YOU PROMISE ME. WHAT YOU WON'T BE. IT ENDS WEAK. AND LEAVES ME WHERE? I STAND BENEATH. MYSELF TO KEEP. I WASN'T TOLD TO KEEP CALM AND BEHOLD. I NEVER LEARNED TO HOLD ON WHAT I EARNED. YOU BECAME BAD AND WANTED ME MAD. PROVOKE MYSELF, LEAVE ME WITHOUT HELP... WHAT YOU SAY. WHAT YOU DO. WASN'T REAL. WASN'T TRUE. TRUE HEARTS WILL LAST. HAVEN'T SEEN IN MY PAST...

RECOLLECT MY LOVE FOR YOU. REARRANGE MY LIFE FOR TWO. RELOCATE A PLACE THAT I KNEW. NEWLY FOUND WHAT I MISSED TOO... I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID. I DON'T REALLY SHOW WHEN I FEEL SAD. I DON'T REALLY TELL WHY I GOT MAD. I DON'T REALLY THINK WHERE I DID BAD. YOU DON'T REALLY GET WHAT I JUST KNOW. YOU DON'T REALLY LOOK WHEN I WILL SHOW. YOU DON'T REALLY SAY WHY YOU SAID NO. YOU DON'T REALLY SEE WHERE I WILL GO. RECOLLECT MY LOVE FOR YOU. REARRANGE MY LIFE FOR TWO. RELOCATE A PLACE THAT I KNEW. NEWLY FOUND WHAT I MISSED TOO... DID YOU WATCH THE SUN BEFORE IT'S GONE? DO YOU WATCH THE MOON? IT RISES SOON. DO YOU FEEL THE GROUND UNDER YOUR FEET? DO YOU SMELL THE AIR? SO WARM AND SWEET. DID YOU LOOK AT ME BEFORE I LEAVE? DID I LOOK AT YOU BEFORE I GRIEF? DID YOU TAKE MY HAND WHEN I REACHED OUT? DID I EVEN CARE WITH YOU AROUND. RECOLLECT MY LOVE FOR YOU. REARRANGE MY LIFE FOR TWO. RELOCATE A PLACE THAT I KNEW. NEWLY FOUND WHAT I MISSED TOO...

I PLAY GAMES. ALL DAY AND NIGHT. I LOOSE TOUCH. BEEN OUT OF SIGHT. I'VE BEEN LIVE. BARELY ALIVE. VERY SOON. SWITCHED SUN TO MOON. I GET CAUGHT. WITHIN MY VAULT. NUMB AND BLIND. CAN'T HEAR MY MIND. I'VE BEEN FOUND. NOT SAFE AND SOUND. BLEAK DESIRE. TURNED A LIAR. THE ENEMY IS YOU. WHILE YOU BECOME ME TOO. YOU WERE NEVER HERE. I JUST WON A FEAR...

DO YOU THINK SHE LOOKS NICE? SAW HER ON THE SCREEN. EVERYTHING PERFECT. NOTHING LIKE ME. ALL THE NICE PEOPLE. ALL THE NICE LIVES. THE SUN SHINES ON THEM. I'M THE ONE WHO CRIES. I CAN'T SEE WITHIN ME. WHAT I SHOULD SEE. WHAT I CAN BE. IT'S JUST WHAT HAS BEEN SAID. WHAT HE SAID TO ME... DO YOU THINK I LOOK NICE? SAW ME IN THE BED. NOWHERE TO HIDE FROM. YOUR VIEWS MAKE ME SAD. ALL THE RICH DETAILS. ON ME TO SEE. THE SUN SHINES ON THEM. THAT'S BEAUTY, THAT'S ME. I CAN'T SEE WITHIN ME. WHAT I SHOULD SEE. WHAT I CAN BE. IT'S JUST WHAT HAS BEEN SAID. WHAT HE SAID TO ME...

about

The third album by RICO FRIEBE is a clearance, an outcry, an universe within itself, a hope and a message at once – sending out ANTHEMS FOR A LOST GENERATION!

After his preceding albums of intimacy WORD VALUE and FACES MEET, based on personal tragedies and the accompanying struggles, RICO FRIEBE has something to tell to a whole generation and delivers ten radiant and distinct top-notch productions that find a most modern and futuristic sound within different styles of pop music while his soft and emotive voice is hovering above all.

Originally, ANTHEMS FOR A LOST GENERATION has been recorded as an acoustic double-album, but RICO FRIEBE threw it all out, wrote new songs and found a truly more fitting sound after he realised that there could only be one musical outcome to tell these stories: Songs like BAD SEED, I LIKE MEMES, REDO, GAMES or LAZY, BORED AND SAD are milestones of capturing a complete zeitgeist and beyond. Each line within the lyrics is taken from close and personal experiences and interactions that made him undergo a whole spectrum of emotions, creating deep worries and sadness, but also a far hope.

Feel lost? Be found! With ANTHEMS OF A LOST GENERATION...

~

Das dritte Album von RICO FRIEBE ist ein Befreiungsschlag, ein Aufschrei, ein Universum in sich, eine Hoffnung und Botschaft zugleich, die etwas aussendet: ANTHEMS FOR A LOST GENERATION!

Nach seinen vorangegangenen, von Intimität geprägten Alben WORD VALUE und FACES MEET, die aus zutiefst persönlichen Tragödien und den begleitenden Kämpfen hervorgingen, hat RICO FRIEBE nun einer ganzen Generation etwas zu sagen und liefert zehn strahlend klare und erstklassige Produktionen ab, die sich einem sehr modernen und futuristischen Klang unterschiedlichster Pop-Stile verschrieben haben, während sein sanfte und emotionale Stimme über allem schwebt.

Ursprünglich wurde ANTHEMS OF A LOST GENERATION als rein akustisches Doppelalbum aufgenommen, doch RICO FRIEBE musste alles verwerfen und neu schreiben nachdem er realisierte, dass etwas so nicht stimmt und es nur einen bestimmen Sound geben dürfe, um diese Geschichten zu erzählen: Songs wie BAD SEED, I LIKE MEMES, REDO, GAMES oder LAZY, BORED AND SAD sind Meilensteine im Einfangen des Zeitgeistes und darüber hinaus. Jede Textzeile ist aus direkten persönlichen Erfahrungen und Gesprächen abgeleitet, die ihn ein riesiges Spektrum von Gefühlen durchleben ließen und ihn mit tiefer Sorge und Traurigkeit, aber auch ferner Hoffnung zurückließen.

Verloren? Einfach gefunden werden! Mit ANTHEMS OF A LOST GENERATION...
