Belly 03:33
lyrics

You bloom whilst I wilt I create from my rib Mine comes from my belly And takes over it My leaves grow jagged But you are so green, You feel everything, Bearing fruit and juice and youth You feel everything You are the apple or the peach, My mouth is dry I feel you in my teeth, You’re free whilst I try x2 Ignorance is breeding You’re always in season You’re constantly fed by the sun Your looks are so grounded I know that mine weaken You’re constantly fed by the sun You bore the first bite The apple, the peach Always forbidden And just out of reach My leaves grow jagged But you are so green, You feel everything, Bearing fruit, and juice and youth You feel everything You are the apple or the peach, My mouth is dry I feel you in my teeth, You’re free whilst I try x2 Ignorance is breeding You’re always in season You’re constantly fed by the sun Your looks are so grounded I know that mine weaken You’re constantly fed by the sun And my ribs are strong, But yours may be stronger You’re constantly fed by the sun Hold it in my belly, Until it’s ready I’m constantly fed by the sun

By The Water 03:27

Start to believe your own hype By the water Not your future anymore Bright by the water Now the sun is gone, Record our night by the water Maybe just one day or night By the water Ha, by the water You say “we are the same” That one night by the water Well, isn’t this such a shame Right by the water I should be in the sky, Flew too close to the water Run down on the ground, Gonna drown in the water Ha, by the water

about

London based new grungers Fräulein are back with their new single ‘By The Water’, joining previous single ‘Belly’ to complete their first double A-side offering. Built around a raw-yet-pensive guitar riff and a driving drum beat, singer Joni Samuels delivers a powerful vocal performance that shows why Fräulein are building a genuine buzz around their early music and are at the forefront of the next wave of guitar bands to break through.

Singles ‘Belly’ and ‘By The Water’ may be released as a double a-side record, but that’s where the similarity ends. ‘Belly’ teems with a brooding sense of frustration, according to Samuels “Belly is a song that is written around its lyrics. I’m talking about how creativity can be bloody and exhausting for some people but really organic and energising for some others”.

Conversely, ‘By The Water’ has a more yearning feeling running through it as Samuels explains that it “submerges the listener into a vision of melancholic wistfulness. It touches on the contrasting emotions often invoked by looking back at events from your past. The track is about beauty & nighttime & romanticising times & living in the past, even though you know it’s shit and that it can keep you stagnant.”
