about

Even in new surroundings, love is fragile. To be clear, we must recognize the need for clear thinking when all collapses around us. What can we cling to? And how can we help others in need?

THE BEDSIDE TABLE was originally written in 1987 and has been performed live by Eric and Andres'a former band Turning Keys, but it was never recorded in the studio ... until now.

This new version combines early elements, such as the original drum loop and synth parts, with modern production and vocals. The result is a retro feel that is faithful to the original, yet uniquely fitting for today's synth resurgence.

lyrics

On the bedside table lies a gun
And among other things lies a letter
And it reads my love, my dear I love you
But I just can’t stand the pain
So I’m leaving here tomorrow
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name

The folded letter falls to the floor
And once more, her trembling hands, dry the teardrops
And she sees, a photograph of a memory
On the bedside table then throws the picture at the wall
What more to gain from a broken frame

The dusty clock chimes the hour
She holds the flower, that he gave her just today
And it reads, just like a storybook as she cries
And lifts the gun so unsure, the telephone rings
Could that be him, could that be him

And it’s just like a storybook as she cries
And lifts the gun so unsure, the telephone rings
Could that be him, could that be him
