Kraków Loves Adana – American Boy

Eines der ganz großen Alben dieses Jahres stammt von Kraków Loves Adana. Call Yourself New ist ein berührendes und hochklassiges Album. Die warme Instrumentierung steckt voller Details und bildet das perfekte Fundament für das einnehmende, dunkle Timbre von Deniz Cicek.

Bereits im April erscheint das neue Album Songs After The Blue, und hier ist die erste Single daraus.

American Boy beschreibt das Gefühl von Ohnmacht und Wut in einer Zeit, in der weltpolitische Entwicklungen beängstigende und alarmierende Ausmaße annehmen.

Kraków Loves Adana thematisieren hier den Konflikt eines jeden Kreativen, der sich zwischen Selbstverwirklichung und der größeren gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung wiederfindet.

Deniz über American Boy:

“I was definitely angry when I wrote American Boy. I was angry with the world, I was angry with myself, I was angry about feeling powerless. I felt like I had no power to right a wrecked system. All this anger turned out to be a strong tool when you dare to act upon it and not on it. It resulted in a creative output, it resulted in American Boy.”

Lyrics

You came down like the news to the valley
An American boy dressed in corduroy
Oh they used to throw parades for the holidays
But it’s different nowadays
When there’s nothing worth that stays

But life is not about loving anybody else
At first you lose control and then you lose yourself
This life is not about loving honey
At first you lose control then you lose your money

Oh you think so much and live so little
Got your hope stitched on your sleeve
But you’re the one that deceives
Turning pain into a perfect product
Modernism is a dream we’ve been living in between

But life is not about loving anybody else
At first you lose control and then you lose yourself
This life is not about loving honey
At first you lose control then you lose your money

Oh what can you do
When your mind is a palace but your heart is a menace
Oh what can you do
Gonna burn it on a stake to destroy is to create

Oh what can you do
When your mind is a palace but your heart is a menace
Oh what can you do
There is nothing to debate to destroy is to create
