I’ve been here so many times before
but it never ended well
and someone had to go
Forgive me for my disbelief in you
I don’t want to scare you off
the opposite is true
I think you have my heart
it is a fragile one
please be gentle
and don’t fool around
I think you have my heart
it is a fragile one
please be gentle
and don’t fool around
I've been torn apart too many times
therefore it’s hard to believe
that now everything’s alright
I’ll try to open up and let you in
but I need you to promise
that you’ll do the same
I think you have my heart
it is a fragile one.
So please be gentle
and don’t fool around
I think you have my heart
it is a fragile one.
So please be gentle
and don’t fool around
time has passed and now I’m here with you
inside me there’s a space
for something new
my mind is calm
my heart is beating slow
I can feel something has changed
my sorrow is gone
I think you have my heart
it is a fragile one
so please be gentle
and don’t fool around
I think you have my heart
it is a fragile one
so please be gentle
and don’t fool around

let go of what needs to go
confront your mind with emptiness
connect your body and soul
get lost inside your own universe
people all around
claim to know how it should be done
you’ve heard it a thousand times, I bet
they say be modest, don’t raise the bar
don’t go fast, never go too far
they make a mess of all your plans
let go of what needs to go
confront your mind with emptiness
connect your body and soul
get lost inside your own universe
and here you pause and breath
collect your power and then proceed
behave is what they say
be polite, at times give way
or you’ll never succeed
you must work hard, but know your place
don’t be loud, don’t make mistakes
is that really how you want to proceed?
let go of what needs to go
confront your mind with emptiness
connect your body and soul
get lost inside your own universe
enough is enough
it’s never enough
just say what you want to say
and do what you wanna do
so let go of what needs to go
confront your mind with emptiness
connect your body and soul
get lost inside your own universe
and here you pause and breath
collect your power and then proceed

there’s an empty house
out there in the forest
it used to be alive
a magical place
where people would go
to find quiet and peace of mind
but now it’s abandoned and lonely
and the windows are barred with wood
the roof is broken, the dust has settled
and the walls keep tumbling down
It was ages ago
when ladies and gentleman
came to see it shine
this house had something
unique and most beautiful
that simply blew your mind
but now it’s abandoned and lonely
and the windows are barred with wood
the roof is broken, the dust has settled
and the walls keep tumbling down
now it’s abandoned and lonely
and the windows are barred with wood
the roof is broken, the dust has settled
and the walls keep tumbling down
I want to go there and see it on my own
I want to go there all alone

vi saltar cun tei atras la veta
surmuntar valladas, crappa e greppa
viver mintga di sco el capeta
anflar paisch el pign mument

vi saver tedlar, esser tia petga
pertgei cun tei fa quei tut senn
cun tei scuvierel novas vias
cun tei ves’jeu mintgadi dapli
ti arvas egls, olma, bratscha ed il cor a mi
cun tei sai schar dar aspectativas
cun tei hai jeu adina zatgei da rir
ti fas speronza e curascha cu nuot va pli

vi cumparter temps, amur e greta
esser cheu per tei, era sch’ei dat dispeta
pertgei era schliats temps s’audan tier la veta
era sch’els paran lunsch naven

we step outside and close the door,
hide the key under the floor
we turn around and walk away
‘cause for now this is goodbye
we walk as quickly as might be
always further away from what we’d be
if we’d stay forever in this place
where everyone’s a familiar face.
we’re leaving all behind
and we forget the things
that were troubling us so many times
we’re dancing in the sky
as if we’d never done
anything else in our lives
the further away, the more we know
even though there’s no certain place we go
and then we finally reach a mountaintop
and from up here the world seems so small
we’re leaving all behind
and we forget the things
that were troubling us so many times
we’re dancing in the sky
as if we’d never done
anything else in our lives.

In spring 2022 I gathered with Michael Benedikt and Vojko Huter in our rehearsal spaces. I wanted to look back on 10 years making music as Ursina and record acoustic variations of already recorded songs. Some songs have been with me for a long time. We jammed the songs, recorded basic tracks and played around with those until it felt right. This EP is the result. It's very honest music. I hope you appreciate it.
Love, Ursina
