YOU HAVE MY HEART – URSINA 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. 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. (2x) 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.

QUESTION UNTOLD – URSINA Her head is low, her look is blank, but her mind is not at ease. Her arms folded, her legs crossed, but her heart pounds constantly. She plays it cool and won’t admit, that her feelings are for real. Her fear of being vulnerable is much stronger than it seems. She gathers courage more than once before fear comes creeping in. Her voice is shaking as she speaks and she’s running out of steam. What if he’s walking out on her before she can explain that she’s head over heels in love with him. Maybe he feels the same? She will never know the answer to a question untold. Why is she afraid to reveal her soul? And what’s stopping her from giving up control? (2x) Love is a losing game if you’re not willing to play your part. Love is a wasteland if you’re not able to give your heart. (2x) Why is she afraid … If you’re not willing to play your part. … to lose control. If you’re not able to give your heart.

En in mund 04:13
EN IN MUND – URSINA Jeu stendel mias alas, sentel il vent. El porta mei bufatg, siado el firmament. Leu mir’jeu sin la tiara e fetgel mes patratgs, mo tut quei che jeu vesel ei pitgira, malfatg. Nua duei è quei pomai menar? Nua duei è quei pomai menar? Tier nus creschan las fluras en tuttas colurs, ferton ch’en autras tiaras hai strusch aua per ils purs. Fittems e crappa greva pendan entuorn culiez als ins che stattan bein ed han mo egls per lur cliniez. Nua duei è quei pomai menar? Nua duei è quei pomai menar? La tiara plir’e bragia e cloma per agid, mo nus fagein buc stem ed ignorein – ei quei buc stupid? Enstagl da patertgar in tec vid nos descendents. Era els vulan beiber ord il flum, reiver sils cuolms e sentir il vent. Nua duei è quei pomai menar? Nua duei è quei pomai menar?

Behind Us 04:19
BEHIND US – URSINA 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.

ONE TWO THREE – URSINA One, two, three and now open your eyes, your eyes. One, two, three and now open your arms for me, for me. One, two, three and now open your heart for me, open your heart for me.

Affonza 03:38
Sa co ei fuss da turnar anavos e puspei esser ina pintga buoba? Da sezuppar e far da pigliar, dad inventar novas filistuccas. Cuorer dalla streglia giu e grir aschi dad ault che tut rebatta. Mintgaton buc tedlar sin il clom sche la mumma vul ch’ins vegni a casa. Era sch’jeu fuss meinsvart bugen affon, vi jeu buc turnar ell’affonza. Igl ei stau bi ed jeu sai franc dir ch’jeu hai giu tut quei ch’ins vul ed aunc bia dapli. (2x) Era sch’jeu fuss meinsvart bugen affon, vi jeu buc turnar ell’affonza. Igl ei stau bi ed jeu sai franc dir ch’jeu hai giu tut quei ch’ins vul ed aunc bia dapli. (2x)

I’LL FIGHT FOR YOU – URSINA I’ll fight for you, you don’t have to do anything at all. I’ll try for you you don’t have to say anything at all. I’ll care for you, if you don’t know how to do anything at all. I’ll comfort you if you don’t know how to say anything at all. All I ever want is for you to be ok, but how can I assume that you’ll ever get there? If you don’t even manage to crawl out of your bed, not even when your cat is hungry and wants to be fed. All I ever hope is for you to realize, that nothing’s gonna change if you’re not willing to try. Pull yourself together and stand up on your feet, don’t be afraid to fall cause I would always ... ... hide with you as long as you do anything at all. I’ll cry with you as long as you say anything at all.

Running 03:43
RUNNING – URSINA I am running around in a world full of opportunities and I believe that I’m not allowed to miss out on anything. I’m overwhelmed by the options and chances and all those possibilities, therefore I forget that maybe, far less would make me happy. But as soon as I try to have a rest I see people hiding in the woods. And as soon as I try to catch a breath they get haunted by the wolves. As soon as I try to have a rest I see people getting on a boat And as soon as I try to catch a breath they are swallowed by the waves. That’s why I run, run, run. That’s why I run, run, run. I am running around in a world of impossibilities where more and more people get hurt and lose touch with reality. My mind is spinning around and by now I don’t know how to escape that mess but all that trying to please and mislead does not make me happy. But as soon as I try to have a rest I see people hiding in the woods. And as soon as I try to catch a breath they get haunted by the wolves. As soon as I try to have a rest I see people getting on a boat And as soon as I try to catch a breath they are swallowed by the waves. That’s why I run, run, run. That’s why I run, run, run...

I DON’T WANT TO FORGET - URSINA The old year is over and a new lies ahead. We try to start fresh again without losing what we’ve learned. Mistakes, wrong conclusions, they sure all need to be done, but all that remains should help us to go on. I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to forget all the good things we’ve done and said. The old year is over and a new has just begun. We don’t know where it will lead us, so let’s just carry on. Many surprises and challenges await us every now and again, but how boring would live be, if all would remain the same. I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to forget all the good things we’ve done and said. (2x) I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to forget all the good things we’ve done and said.

Try To Sleep 02:19
TRY TO SLEEP – URSINA I should try to sleep but I can’t close my eyes and I should stop to weep and let my heart be free and wild. As long as I don’t find a way to conquer those fears that are trapped, deep in my head, I’ll never know what’s hiding down below where only I can go, that’s why I really ... ... need to try to sleep but I can’t close my eyes and I should stop to weep and let my heart be free and wild.

about

ABOUT YOU HAVE MY HEART:

Singer Ursina from the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland releases her debut album “You Have My Heart”.

It sounds like a departure, like a determined forward motion. A light gallop rhythm accompanied by clapping. All of the instruments, including the trumpet and the trombone, strike up a melody right away. Grave yet light-footed. And then, after half a minute, a voice joins in – bright, delicate, solemn. Indeed, she sings about departure, about entering a new phase of life, a new phase of development and relationship, about gaining a new perspective. “Behind Us” is the name of the song that begins like this. Ursina Giger is its author and interpreter.

Most people cannot associate a face or a voice with that name yet. The reason for this is quite simply that they have not heard Ursina yet, the 31-year-old singer who grew up in the mountains of Disentis and currently lives in Zurich. Because they have not yet had an opportunity to listen to her, despite the fact that she has released two EPs and performed dozens of concerts over the course of the last two years. This, however, will change with the release of „You Have My Heart“. No doubt.
The ten songs on her debut album – two of which are in her mother tongue Romansh, the rest of them in English – do not compete for attention. They don’t force anyone to listen to them. And yet, it will happen. Automatically.

Her music manages to maintain the solemnity described in the beginning. It rests in itself, breathes and takes up the space it needs. Her music combines elements from folk and pop as well as from singing-songwriting. It radiates warmth, that is granted to everyone who listens to it.

This is certainly due to the songs, the balanced arrangements, the playful elements, the long and careful development process that the band, the songs and the album – recorded and produced by Pola Roy, the drummer from the German band Wir sind Helden, in his studio in Berlin - have been through.

It is also most certainly due to Ursina’s voice, that sounds delicate and thoughtful, soft and emotional. Refreshingly decelerated, she sings about the hamster wheel in which a lot of us are running, about the force of nature, which puts many things into perspective. She sings about love - sometimes self-conscious and unfulfilled, sometimes cautious and prejudiced, other times nostalgic, big or comprehensive. Ursina’s voice’s presence is clearly noticeable, even after the songs have ended.
