Lyrics:
the same hoping
we’re hoping for a dark and cold winter-sun
my body is bitter-cold
my mind is overthrown
since the world is full of roles that we play
and as long as we do there’s no time to regret
all the ways how you and i had come together
bright lies shine on
illusions passed ages ago
from a distance
i see myself existing
pretend to feel your undertow
you’ll see bright lies shine on
illusions passed ages ago
from a distance
i see myself existing
pretend to feel your undertow
ophelia
i’ll leave my broken bones in the desert
the same hoping
we’re hoping for a dark and cold winter-sun
my body is bitter-cold
my mind is overthrown
ophelia
i’ll leave my broken bones in the desert
bright lies shine on
illusions passed ages ago
from a distance
i see myself existing
pretend to feel your undertow
you wouldn’t tell if you go there
still the world is full of roles we play
oh maybe love is enough

I'm 72 years old and feel rejuvenated by the absolutely brilliant music of Giant Rooks. Haven't been this excited about a band since Jefferso Airplane's album Surrealistic Pillow was released in 1965!

[@Jonalisa754]

😂

[@johncarter9410]

I love the Giant Rooks, but I hope your comparison with Jefferson Airplains Surrealistic Pillow is just a joke 😅

[@christineboldt8422]

@@johncarter9410 Just making the comment that listening to Giant Rooks made me feel young again and excited by innovative music like I was when I was 15 years old listening to Surrealistc Pillow for the first time. Not a joke, as Biden would say.

[@user-uk4kp2cp4v]

Music has no age

[@user-ct8tj2vy4t]

Well, I'm 28 years old but feel the same! For me it feels like a throwback to highschool watching mtv2 listening to arctic monkeys or the white stripes for the first time, such an exciting feeling!

[@jonq8714]

You know you're good when your live session sounds better than the studio release. I love this performance.

[@sheilareinehr9575]

Frederik Rabe's voice is amazing! I can't get enough!

I am a very simple person, if I see a Giant Rooks video, I click faster than the speed of light. My day is instantly made! Good, old days, man!

You are not alone 🙋‍♀️

[@bluechase]

This reminds me of The Kooks but I think it's the accents. Similarities end there. ❤️

[@min_luke_3756]

wooooo🥰🥰😍😍

[@MsMagicflute]

Best version of this song, best version of Giant Rooks, best version of Fred's vocal beauty...

[@aminekbt]

you are amazing and you always will be. bright lies is the most special song for me, it always meant a lot for me because the lyrics "i'll leave my broken bones in the desert" reminds me my grandpa's death because he had a lung cancer when he died and before he died he fell to the ground and broke his bones, then he died after night. and it was the first song i heard from giant rooks and when i heard that song my grandpa died after a week so yeah it always meant a lot for me and this version makes it even more valuable for me

[@carinak.2285]

Words cannot describe how much I love this song and this version is amazing!!

[@tanja4653]

I thought days of good music were over, but I've finally found great music, and with that new hope for it becoming better from now on was born. This makes me so happy, I see a bright future for us

[@marcojohannsen280]

Ich bin zufällig über eine Liveversion von Kummer "Der Letzte Song" hier gelandet und muss sagen, der Song haut mich echt von den Socken. Klasse Musik mit einer Ausnahmestimme. Ich werde mir definitiv mehr von euch anhören und dieser hier läuft jetzt noch ein paar mal auf Repeat ;)

[@jmluplex173]

I think I just found my celebrity-crush. The singer is so cool and looks so interesting to me somehow. Wow! -coming from a straight dude btw

[@lottael]

Es ist ein verdammter Wahnsinn was in den letzten 7 Jahren passiert ist. Eure Lieder haben sich sich verändert und weiter entwickelt, ihr haut ein neues Album raus und danach gleich noch Life tapes. Ich liebe die "alten" Songs, Bright Lies, gehört definitiv dazu. Die neuen Songs finde ich auch mega! Mega anders und doch wunderschön. Danke das es euch gibt, ich denke ich darf hier im Namen aller Fans schreiben, wenn ich schreibe, dass wir euch lieben und extrem dankbar sind, dass wir euch im Alltag immer dabei haben können mit dieser wundervollen Musik. Ich freue mich aufs Konzert, xoxo.
