Written in Berlin.

lyrics

I live in a house: nominally ordinary. Somewhere to be home.
The clothes that I wear are really immaterial at least they keep me warm.
The job that I do is totally replaceable: there's a million more of me.
It looks like my life is terminally temporary: must be something I can do
But what if I don't know how?
Oh what if I'm older now?
But what if I heard you say, you'd be with me either way,
even if I'm an ordinary man
The thoughts in my heard are really all that I can call mine, some of the time.
My truth and my lies are paraphrased and plagiarised. I want to change this tune.
But what if I don't know how?
Oh what if I'm older now?
But what if we make mistakes, can we be happy anyway?
Oh what if I heard you say, you'd be with me either way.
Even if I'm an ordinary man.
But what if I'm just a fake, and all of this is just a stage.
Oh what if it's just a phase, and we'll be moving on again.
But what if I don't know how, oh what if I'm older now.
And what if I'm just an ordinary man?

about

ESPIN Berlin, Germany

His style of song writing is personal but universal, disarmingly honest but rich with emotion and wit. It is a determined but delicate mix of melancholy, bravery, vulnerable hope and humour.
Playing with a rich spectrum of kitsch Casio Beats, synths, saxophone solos, piano pop, guitars, and gentle but glorious melodies that lodge themselves in your brain, reluctant to leave.
