It’s been quite a while Since I was last here But now it seems That it was all just yesterday This place hasn’t changed It hasn’t changed at all The streets and the bars and the old man still wandering around the town all day and night Let everybody know It’s so great to be back I know, I know, now I know, now I know what I really think and… No matter how much time will pass in the future No matter how great the distance might be Something of this place will always be in me Something that will never die It’s been quite a while But I recall everything The times we used to spend In the hut down at the lake Pondering over the world Until the break of dawn I know, now I know what I really think The old ruin is still waiting to finally be pulled down The streets and the bars and the old man still wandering around the town all day and night Oh let me shout it out It’s so great to be back I know, I know, now I know, now I know what I really think and… No matter how much time will pass in the future No matter how great the distance might be Something of this place will always be in me Something that will never die Never thought I’d miss this place one day - oh no But it feels so great to be back here - oh I know It’s been quite a while now But I recall every moment I spent here it feels like I’d never left It’s been quite a while now But I recall every moment I spent here it feels like I’ve never been away

farewell 04:38
Thank you for this day And this day was long ago I don’t need this anymore Want a better life today I really thought that I was right But they didn’t agree “Mind your own business” I always said “It’s not your problem” I was quite a stranger And I was too weak Told everybody: It’s not your problem! Listening to Pinkerton again Over and over and over again Now or never Will you be around? Now or never Now’s the time, but will you be around? Don’t try to be someone you can’t be, buddy, It won’t work out You can’t hide from yourself, you will never Never succeed It just won’t work out But then the last day came My mate it’s over, it’s done So long, my so called friend!

I’m thinking `bout your words Can’t believe what you’ve just said You destroyed my plans again Words are spoken and I wonder Are you the fool or is it me? You have killed my dreams again Now you’re so far away And I want you to stay This could be the last Song about this crime You’re so far away from here You’re so far away away I’ll think of you forever more I never said I won’t be sad On the day you leave this place I’ll think of you forever more I never said I won’t be sad On the day you leave this place but things are moving on now but things are moving on I’ll think of you forever more I also said, I’d go ahead Even if you leave this place And things are moving on now Things are moving on

unique 04:05
Don´t ask me who I am . But I´m glad not to be like them, you see I do not understand what they hide what they seek Do they really think think that they are unique I can´t see in what they believe You want it all, but what you see is what you get, You know it all, but how can you tell when you haven´t tried before. You want it all

So here you are I saw it coming Is there a chance of a retrieval when you’ve got nothing left to give? What’s left to believe in when you’ve got nothing to give?

about

Die Musikkapelle My Rival Kent (2004 – 2009) versuchte sich als Nebenprojekt ihrer Hauptbands an den Klängen des Indie-/Emorock. Da es in ihren Breitengraden weit und breit Niemanden gab, der sich an den Sound von Bands wie The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World , Pale oder Dashboard Confessional heran wagte, galt es Dies nun ebend selber zu tun.

Wurde das Debüt [detours] (2005) in Nürnberg, das Zweitwerk [watershed ] (2007) im Studio der Koblenzer Indierocker von Blackmail aufgenommen, galt es Ihr letztes Album [the basement years] (2009) im eigenen Proberaum einzuspielen und abzumischen. Durch die verschiedenen Lebenswege mussten sich die fünf fränkischen Mittzwanziger nach vielen schönen Jahren und Erfahrungen auflösen.
