I gotta feeling things are going right Already know this will be unforgettable We are all here, move into city lights These are the moments that will last for eternity It’s been to long, too long It’s been to long, too long Now it’s time to come together again And to drive until we see the ocean After this rainy winter We need the sun to warm our soul After this rainy winter Will you show me I’m alive, will you show me I’m alive Less monday more summer We gonna have a good good time Less monday more summer Don’t let the sun go down tonight It’s friday night and we’re looking good We’re just happy and know we all feel the same That’s our time right now we’re in the mood To take the fast lane on the way to go insane It’s been to long, too long It’s been to long, too long Now it’s time to come together again And to drive until we see the ocean After this rainy winter We need the sun to warm our soul After this rainy winter Will you show me I’m alive, will you show me I’m alive Less monday more summer We gonna have a good good time Less monday more summer Don’t let the sun go down tonight

The fire in my heart keeps burning The fire in my heart keeps burning I’m lying on my back and I’m looking at the stars As a matter of fact there is truth in these bars Birds singing in the trees and the sun will set World’s spinning ahead but we go backwards instead Lights are out but the fire in my heart keeps burning The world keeps turning while I’m singing this song As I keep dreaming on Lights are out but the fire in my heart keeps burning The world keeps turning while I’m singing this song So keep on dreaming on Even when the sun goes down and the lights go out The fire in my heart keeps burning Even when the music stops at "too late"-o'clock The fire in my heart keeps burning Even when the sun goes down and the lights go out The fire in my heart keeps burning Even when the music stops at "too late"-o'clock The fire in my heart keeps burning The fire in my heart keeps burning Keeps burning There will always be love, there will always be hate Small seeds are planted big trees collate Life blooms with colour, red, black and green Ivory keys make melodies and harmonies serene They build walls for protection Lie to win elections Silicon attraction Likes mean satisfaction My life is a movie Written by yours truly Lights, camera, action Lights may be out but the fire in my heart keeps burning With nothing to fear as long as we can sing this song We grow as the world turns on and on Even when the sun goes down and the lights go out The fire in my heart keeps burning Even when the music stops at "too late"-o'clock The fire in my heart keeps burning Even when the sun goes down and the lights go out The fire in my heart keeps burning Even when the music stops at "too late"-o'clock The fire in my heart keeps burning The fire in my heart keeps burning Keeps burning The fire in my heart keeps burning Keeps burning Lights may be out but the fire in my heart keeps burning Keeps burning Lights may be out but the fire in my heart keeps burning Keeps burning Keeps burning Keeps burning

Circles 03:47
After midnight in the kitchen We stand around and bake a bread We talk about Jean-Paul Sartre Emma Stone and Talking Heads And when we’re ready for cocktails We move down to Sixty Three Try to order Pisco sour But then you talk to me That’s the way we’re living Serge, Bob, and me That is how we like it Bourgeoisie There’s no beginning Uuh - and there’s no end Here and now is not the moment To draw a line in the sand Circles Again and again Circles Again and again You are so fascinating I’m drowning in your eyes We’re lost in this strong moment Falling stars in purple skies Your brown hair on my pillow You smile, I look at you And the world, the world is turning And we are turning too That’s the way we’re living Serge, Bob, and me That is how we like it Bourgeoisie There’s no beginning Uuh - and there’s no end Here and now is not the moment To draw a line in the sand Circles Again and again Circles Again and again That’s the way we’re living That is how we like it There’s no beginning And there’s no end Here and now is not the moment To draw a line in the sand Circles Again and again Circles Circles Again and again Circles

I see you like I’ve never seen you before A complete unknown with a golden ray in the face Don’t think twice we’re heading to freedom They say when the music changes, so does the dance From north to south, from east to west We don’t need no reason, we need no rest Set the sail - what’s behind the horizon? Set the sail - what’s behind the horizon? It’s not a place, it’s an open road to nowhere You just breathe the air and lick the salt from your lips Don’t think twice we’re heading to freedom They say when the music changes, so does the dance From north to south, from east to west We don’t need no reason, we need no rest From north to south, from east to west We don’t need no reason, we need no rest Set the sail - what’s behind the horizon? Set the sail - what’s behind the horizon?

Without You 04:28
Life is good Life is real Life is beautiful Life is beautiful Life is good Life is real Life is beautiful Remember when we met the first time Sweet sixteen I was keen Bitter sweet taste So fresh, so unforeseen You in that golden dress White hat, white glasses Pulling on a cigarette In this hot summer night under the tree A Teardrop sparkled on your cheek And it was all over for me You made me go crazy Time passing by like ecstasy She calmed my thoughts down easily Babygirl had all the right weaponry Morning after I still could smell your perfume on my pillow In every fiber of my body you were present Bumping through my veins from head to toe I just dropped another pill – oh! And let it go And let it go Life is good Life is pure Life is beautiful Now we’re sitting at this table we’ve been sitting here a lot before On a weekday after work Knew I will meet you here for sure Making up stories, telling lies facing the truth, being mean, being nice You’re neat and chill on ice For you I always paid the price Sometimes with friends Sometimes just you and me I thought we were happy You were looking after me But then you changed your mind immediately When I got too close to you In absence of a referee Thought I needed you to be alive and always on the run Thought I needed you to be real Without you there’s no fun Without you life’s undone Thought I needed you just to be someone No rules in this game And I lost it each and every time Always the same Thought that finally we’ll be fine For the real beauty I was blind I was colorblind Life is good Life is pure Life is real Life is beautiful Life is beautiful Of course I saw you with the other guys acting the same playing your game I was the lonely one you drove insane But not the only one who knew your name But I couldn’t take my hands of you I couldn’t take my hands off you We were young and wild And we sang our songs all night Acted like a child As long as you were by my side I smiled But the longer it lasted The worse it got I met you more than my girlfriend I held you in my arms In chains, I changed a lot I hurt my friends, my love, my family I was cheating myself Just to have you close to me Wanted to stay up all night Wanted to stay by your side Counting the stars Waiting for the sun to rise Sleeping in your arms Looking in your golden eyes One sip for life One sip for Rock’n’Roll One sip to destroy the box and get out of this rabbit hole One sip to walk the line One sip to get out of this role One sip to the lord who turns this shit into gold Two sips for the moments you gave me joy Three sips for the love Another one for freedom and the crying doves I could hear the sirens coming You’re not my god You’re just a temporary shot One more for the stars in the sky But in the end you are just an empty bottle trapping flies Just an empty bottle trapping flies Life is good Life is pure Life is beautiful Without you Without you Life is good Life is pure Life is real Without you Without you

Steppin' Out 03:36
Told you before Right from the start I’m gonna be leaving We’ve been living on Borrowed time You’ve been pushing your luck Again and again Since the beginning But this is where I draw the line What is this shit It’s not my shit This shit’s your shit You deal with it I’m getting up I’ll leave this here I’ll take my keys I’m stepping out Cause I’m not this guy Never been this guy I am not this angry old and tired You’ve been holding me back Now I’m back on my track Just get out of my way Just get out of my way - get out of my way - get out of my way Look I admit I didn’t lead you on But I could have been clearer I gave you more Than you asked me for You thought I might change You thought I could see That there’s nothing to fear here Im cutting the cord I’m closing the door - I’m closing the door - I’m closing the door Not another day No matter what you say Under no condition We’ve been playing this game For much too long You’ve got to listen I will take this matter in my hands Here’s my decision You will have to find somebody else than me cause really I just can’t What is this shit It’s not my shit This shit’s your shit You deal with it I’m getting up I’ll leave this here I’ll take my keys I’m stepping out Cause I’m not this guy Never been this guy I am not this angry old and tired You’ve been holding me back Now I’m back on my track Just get out of my way Just get out of my way - get out of my way get out of my way - get out of my way What is this shit It’s not my shit This shit’s your shit You deal with it I’m getting up I’ll leave this here I’ll take my keys I’m stepping out I’m stepping out I’m stepping out

about

The seven starchateers have already spent half their lives on tour together, playing together all over the world, lived in an old hotel on the Appenzell country side and built their own music club. This shows: the groove of this crew is right. You can hear and see it wherever they show up, from the craziest basement shack to fancy jazz clubs to the big festivals of Montreux, Bangkok or Bangladesh.

starch plays groove music. In its own unmistakable way. Imaginative and without stylistic or geographical boundaries. The choruses reflect the lightness of being on the Australian beach. The instrumental solos spray the color-swelling 24 hour vibration of Asian cities. The raps and grooves breathe the coolness of European urbanity. Polyglot Funk, which takes the hearts of the public by storm in all over the world.
