SLOW- on the upcoming EP „If I Knew“ September 2017
On the publication of the EP „If I Knew“ – 20 September 2017
SLOW’s EP „If I Knew“ is ready for release. With this exciting and conscious step forward, the songwriter, who hails from Brandenburg and lives in Berlin, interweaves minimalistic waltzes, melancholy ballads, pared- down textures and graceful soul to perfect and authentic original songs about love, family and social injustice.
Produced by SLOW and her band colleagues, the drummer Chris Farr (Johnny A), bassist Rene Flächsenhaar (Yvonne Catterfeld, Namika) and Sebastian Strahl, Piano and Rhodes „If I knew“ offers four of SLOW’s self-written songs.Musically speaking, SLOW makes its sound on the current EP by leaving space open; artful, self-assured yet feeling together. The subtly sketched character of this song selection presents the probably balanced, aural void in the interplay with small details, in which the earthy, decelerated soundscapes create a gently shimmering backdrop for the distinctively springy and velvety soft voice of SLOW. Titles such as „Believer“ or „If I Knew“ stimulate the listener with content and base the experience in richness and weight.
„The silent observation of life“ and „the recognition of patterns“ is the basis of the EP, explains SLOW. „In deceleration, a kind of auditory mindfulness can be used to reflect and transform experience“. SLOW, with her charismatic stage presence and history of fruitful collaborations with for example Johanna Borchert and Yemen Blues have performed at the Berlin Jazz club A-Trane, the Jena Philharmonic as well as many other venues in and outside Europe.

German version „Zur Veröffentlichung der EP ‚If I Knew'“
If I Knew
lyrics by slow
If I could say what love is
I wouldn’t speak anymore
If I could see what love is
I wouldn’t look anymore
If I knew what love was
My heart wouldn’t beat anymore, couldn’t beat anymore
If I knew what love was
I wouldn’t breathe anymore
If I could say what I feel
You wouldn’t listen to me
If I could show what I feel
You wouldn’t look at me
If I knew what love was
My heart wouldn’t beat anymore, couldn’t beat anymore
If I knew what love was
I wouldn’t breathe anymore
I went up and down you were always around
Tell me how can I leave you behind
I wish that I could see you don’t belong to me
So that i could find peace of mind
If I knew what love was
My heart wouldn’t beat anymore, couldn’t beat anymore
If I knew what love was
I wouldn’t breathe anymore
Dinah
lyrics by SLOW, P. Schulz
Your hearts full of anger you don’t see the reason why
Your mummy and daddy much too busy with their life
You play in the streets then games turn into fights
Now you hit the weak ones
’till blood runs
Her red hands
in the sand
Stop beating Dinah
She needs a friend just like you do
Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her life is trouble yours is too
Stop beating Dinah
You live in a town of ghosts since the world came down
Words of hope are being washed off concrete walls
You’re taught how to live by the sad and disgraced
No food for your soul in this desperate place
So much frustration you grow isolation around you
Now you hit the weak ones
till blood runs
Her red hands
in the sand
Stop beating Dinah
She needs a friend just like you do
Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her life is trouble yours is too
Stop beating Dinah
Now kids hit the weak ones
till blood runs
What have we done?
What have we become?
We need to move right now
Stand up for love
We leave our footprints in the sand
Stop beating Dinah
She needs a friend just like you do
Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her life is trouble yours is too
Stop beating Dinah
Please don’t make it worse
All I Want
lyrics by SLOW
sometimes i think you could know me better
sometimes i think you should know me better
sometimes i wish, sometimes i hope, sometimes i pray
we never go astray, we never go astray
sometimes I wish I could always be kind
sometimes I wish I could always be cute
sometimes I wish I could always say what you wanna hear
but I can’t, No, I can’t always be kind
When I’m down, when I’m down you gotta know what’s on my mind
OOOh I have to put into words what I feel
OOOh don’t get me wrong when I get angry
All I want is just to get closer
All I want is just to get closer to you
now I‘ ve got to face it although I want you to embrace me
It ain’t easy to tell you that you hurt me
I know you didn’t mean to desert me
Please don’t be mad with me, oh
Let’s find a remedy, my babe
Love hurts, hurts sometimes but we’re getting there for sure
I wish , I hope, I pray
our love is here to stay
I wish, I hope, I pray
we never ever never go astray
I have to put into words what I feel
OOOh don’t get me wrong when I get angry
All I want is just to get closer
All I want is just to get closer to you
Believer
lyrics by SLOW
I used to think that in life
The ones you love you can rely on I was wrong
I used to think that in life
A mother is there to hold her child I was wrong, sadly wrong
As far as I know seasons change
Summer is all you long for winter won’t end please hold on, hold on
All I know is that everything that I believe is just a kind of wishful thinking
I don’t blame myself, no I’m a believer
I used to think that in life
A father is there to hold his wife I was wrong, so damn wrong
As far as I know love is like a spring
it pours and it pours and if it dries up one day keep holding on, hold on
As sure as the sun rises and the moon shines every single day gives and takes life
Let me know if I’m wrong
All I know is that everything that I believe is just a kind of wishful thinking
I don’t blame myself, no I’m a believer
As sure as birds fly like fish take the sea everyone is born with a reason to be
