about

Sometimes life gets really complicated. You could have invested all your energy and love into something just to have it taken away. Everything can be fine in one moment and in the next one you have to leave your house due to a wildfire. Sometimes you don't know how to get out of a situation and you feel hopeless. But I wouldn't be writing this, if that was the whole story. There's rarely a hopeless situation. I believe there is a ray of light at every horizon, a way out of the dark place one might have gotten into. That's why I wrote I try.

If my last song (Burning House) was about hopeless situations and fear, this song is about hope and silver linings. That's why for me I Try is the “B side” of Burning house, Because there shouldn't be a situation without hope.

I Try is an important song on my journey of self-discovery through music. Through this song I got to embrace the ups and downs of life. If things go wrong I can always try again and I can't loose, if I keep on trying. So that's what I Try is about, hope and the will to try again after failing until you succeed. The will to love again after your heart get's broken. The courage to overcome your fears, even when it seems like your drowning and to find yourself again after living in a Burning House.

lyrics

I'm a ship without a sea,
Trying to walk without feet,
I'm a fish without a sea,
Trying hard to breathe.

I'm hiding between the lines of a song I once wrote,
Trying not to stay behind, trying to keep up hope.

They think they know me,
But I only told them lies,
They think they can see,
Using nothing but their eyes.

And I live in a burning house,
The fire burns me down,
Always just about to shout,
Someone let me out,

So I try to build up my old house,
And I cry as I see that I can't,
And I lie to fill their thoughts out,
Cause I know they won't understand, that I'm lost.

Sleeping in doorways,
Let the cold bite through my skin,
Mirrors show my face,
Collecting scars as I let them win,
All that I am is a broken heart begging you to stay,
All I see is another part of me slipping away.

Still I try to build up my old house,
And I cry as I see that I can't,
And I lie to fill their thoughts out,
Cause I know they won't understand, that I'm lost.

At least I tried to build up my own house,
Even when I cried as it slipped away,
And I would lie if said the fires out,
But at least I tried to put out the flames,

love, I know that I will fall for you,
and stumble as I call through,
and loose again,
and cry again.
love, I know that I will fall for you,
and stumble as I call through,
and loose again,
and try again.

about

Luna Keller Cologne, Germany

I'm a singer-songwriterholic who loves making indie folky songs and putting my soul on paper.

Music was part of my life, I remember listening to my parents doing music when I was little and singing along getting all the lyrics wrong. I was thirteen when I picked up one of my dad's guitars and 19 when I moved out to become a full time musician. I am so grateful to be on this path! ... more
