about

The corona crisis hits us all hard. Not only through infections or even deaths, but much more often indirectly through the loss of jobs and orders, or through part-time work. Others have a hard time because they have to work under difficult conditions in their jobs, e.g. in clinics or supermarkets. Still others do not have it easy on a personal level and suffer from visiting bans, fear or because the ceiling falls on their heads.

Since music can sometimes give a person more buoyancy than a thousand words, we felt the need to make a song for all of us. We interrupted work on our second album for a weekend and, out of quarantine, wrote and recorded a song to give some compassion to all those who are going through a difficult time. It's called "Covid-19 (Song Of Compassion)" and it's for you - to listen to at home!

lyrics

Song Of Compassion

It's not that long ago
When everything appeared somehow okay
But now they seem so far away,
the last of the normal days

When the borders are closed
and nationalism returns
It reminds me of dark times long past
It seems like the tables have turned

Ch:
This is a song of compassion
Named like a scourge that changed everything
This is a song of compassion
In these times of solitude, panic and fear
try to see clear!

Not that long ago
by trivialities we’ve been obsessed
That public life is being shut down that way
no one would have guessed

Paranoia has taken the world by storm
It feels like doomsday today
It’s a spring of isolation
Could some journalists write the virus away?

Ch:
This is a song of compassion
Named like a scourge that changed everything
This is a song of compassion
In these times of paranoia and greed
More love’s what we need

Ch:
This is a song of compassion
Named like a scourge that changed everything
This is a song of compassion
When everyone goes mad for a while
Just give them a smile

about

The Halo Trees image

The Halo Trees Berlin, Germany

The Halo Trees, that’s deep, melancholic music with plenty of room for the voice and handmade instrumentation. A comforting sound universe, inspired by David Bowie, Editors, Mark Lanegan, The National or Nick Cave. A mixture of indie-rock, pop, wave and post-rock with many tom-toms, melodic basslines, atmospheric guitars, catchy violin and sonorous, warm vocals. ... more
