LYRICS
Music and a good text!"Both together forms a good song! That is a reason why Indie Soul has two parts: The Band the living guitar orchestra and Mutch the spirit for the soul! This Team is perfect in timing and harmony, that is what is needed for a good song! Please read the text of all recorded songs and listen to them later under "Music". A fusion out of Soul/Acoustica/Pop/Funk and Spanish Guitar combine with distinct Singer/Songwriter sensibilities. This fresh blend gives an very rich tapestry to people who listen to their performance. Truly one of the few bands which I prefer to see on stage!"Dirk Bertelmann Song Lyrics printed below by kind permission of the author NEW LYRIC UPLOADED 14.08.2010The latest Lyrics,including yet to released material NOW uploaded!
Those Changes(written by Mutch Katsonga)
Think about the place you're in
Think about the place you're going
The path you choose, the stones you cast
If life is for changes then make yours last.
Chorus: Isn't it strange how you feel?
Nothing in your world is real
And if tomorrow you still feel the same,
You should think about those changes
You should think about what you become.
No more remorse,we've got plenty
This concrete world,leaves us so empty
But flesh only matters on this earthly plane
By the Sacred Falls we'll meet again.
Chorus
Will you stand by me through those changes?
Will you love me through those changes?
Will you despise and foresake me through those changes?
I can't help but go through.....Those changes.
Chorus

Words To Freedom(written by Mutch Katsonga)
Did you see them down on their knees for you
Did you hear them cry
Did you see how
they live & die for you
Far too many lives that remain unsung
Do they die invain
but I wonder when it's all said and done
Will justice reign/rain?
Tell me when
Will the righteous have their way
Tell me when
Will the sorrow pass away
It's been a long hard road
Feel the hatred tarnish our very souls
will we ever learn
Many prayers that remain unanswered so/soar?
Where did they go?

A Better Me.(words and music by Mutch Katsonga)
Dedicated to Sandy Fernandez in Loving MemoryI asked the heavens and all
the stars above.
I asked the One so devine,to make me a better me...for
you.
I poured out my spirit.
My heart and all within.
I offered up
everything I got.
To make me a better me for you
All the roads you may
travel I will be there.
All the worlds that unravel I will be there.
My
resolution?
I pledge myself to thee.
I'd even sacrifice my own d*mn life.
To
be a better me... for you.
And the so called sands of time are just shifting
in a desert somewhere.
And the 'so cold'sands of time are just shifting in a
desert somewhere.
Taken from the 2009 LP "Fragments Of A Glowing Cloud"
Where I Stand(written by Mutch Katsonga)
Tell me do I dare to dream in the night.
I will be there just to answer your call.
We will harness love.
Tell me do you ever believe in a new dawn that's waiting for you when the sun comes up.
We will harness love.
If I don't know where I stand.
Am I frozen in time? Forever
I'll follow the light to a place that is mine,forever.
Tell me will I dance in the glow of your love,and never be cold,and the seas
will be still, as we stand upon that hill.
I know you've got your mind to make up.
The days go by so slowly.
I'm sorry for the time I take up with these songs of love to you.
The Eternal Love(words & music by Mutch Katsonga)
Did you ever sail away?
Will you let the water carry you someday?
Sail away,there's nothing more to say
Did you ever travel through the darkest realms?
But in time you will bless them all with light.
I know you showed me love that lasts forever
I know you showed me heart that beats eternally
I just wish you'd seen that in me.
Memories are lost at sea.
There's nothing to be salvaged or redeemed
Memories,tarnished and deceased.
Empty hallways,Vacant doorways.
The moon is bleeding his light through
How I wish I could have shown you that I could be everything you wanted.
I wish I could have shown you a love like no other
(written & composed Nov. 2008)
Fragments(words & music by Mutch Katsonga)
You're so Fragile
You break too many times.
Precious time are you still not mine
Tell me why do I still need you?
It's not like you ain't been gone that long.
Stormy Weather.
They say in every life a little rain must fall.
I'm so tired of talking about it.
(written & composed Nov. 2008)
Taken from the 2009 LP "Fragments Of A Glowing Cloud"
Sometimes we feel so fragile,sometimes we feel so small,
Sometimes we feel so fragile,I know.
Sometimes we feel so helpless,sometimes we can't go on,
Sometimes we feel so doggone helpless,I know.
CHORUS

Looking Through Cages(written by Mutch Katsonga)
The lion circles his enclosure
Now I know why he does that
The hounds are howling way into the night-time
Now I know why they howl like that
Never to be woken by the moans of the lonesome dove
but is it any wonder she cries...
Do you know what? I see through your cages
Do you know what I see everywhere now?
The elements do show no mercy
As mankind shows them no regard
It's too late to evade the hunter
He's skill-ful to destroy
(written & composed June 2008)
When...(written by Mutch Katsonga)
When I think about you,I don't feel alone
I'll stand beneath the Sacred Falls again
When I think about you,I don't feel alone
I'll raise my hands into the nighttime sky
Even though I'll never see your face again
Even though I'll never hear you call me friend
Even though I'll never be where you are
When I think about you,I don't feel alone
When the world outside turns cold,and I lose my way
I know sometimes we reap what we don't sow
When the violence in these streets wraps it's hateful arms around me,
I won't be afraid.

The Colour Of Winter(written by Mutch Katsonga)
A long time ago.
Another time & space.
The Color of Winter.
The heavy shroud in place
Show me your dawn
I don't want to live in your midnight
Show me the sun
Let it shine
Take me to the river
I'll be sanctified
Father forgive a world plunged into darkness
Is all that will remain
Let me feel it shining on me...
Let it shine now.
(written & composed February 2008)
There May Come a Time(written by Mutch Katsonga)
There May Come a Time when I lose you
Like the day time loses the light or a blind man loses his sight.
There may come a time when the scarlet cloak of night will wrap itself
around me and never let me be.
I can't see for darkness, I can't sleep for fear, I can't dream for sorrow
,I can't smile for tears these days.
but there's something I must say.
I want to tell you that I wonder how I made it through my life without
love to guide me and love to make me strong,I want to tell you that I wonder
how i made it through my life without love to show me the way that I should
go.
There may come a time when I need you like a new born needs to be loved one
day we'll rise above and there may come a time when I leave you like the sun
will set in the sky and the tears will dry from eyes.
And how I made it without love I don't know
And how I ever got this far I don't know
I wonder how.

Say What You Mean(written by Mutch Katsonga)
Say what's on your mind
All the sorrow you've been keeping in
But I don't want to know if it ain't coming straight from your heart
A million candles burn for you
I'll save a special place for you if you promise to be honest in
everything that you do
A million candles burn for you
I'll save a special place for you if you promise to be honest all
the time.
So you better,Say what you mean or don't say it at all.
You know you're gonna hurt somebody,you know you'll make somebody cry
So Say what you mean or don't say it at all
you know you're gonna hurt somebody again.

Letting Go(written by Mutch Katsonga)
Touch me like a rainbow,warm me like the sun
Embrace me like a newborn,although I'm weary and worn
What I say is true I'm calling out to you
Dance with me in silence,sing me like a song
Seek me like the echo that you searched for as a child
The games that you played
Did you think about
Letting go
Starting over
Letting go
Think it through
Did it ever cross your mind
Did it ever dawn on you
Did you ever think that it might be just the thing to do
Walk with me through fire,and lay upon these nails
Fly with me through storm clouds and bathe in their tears
And break all these chains
But something still remains
Are you ever gonna find redemption
Working on a positive vibration
My words are revelations
Working on a new foundation.
(ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2005 ON "The Indie Soul Movement EP")
Careless Child(written by Mutch Katsonga)
Careless Child
can you see what you've done,
the thing that you've become,I hardly recognise
Running wild,
lately I can't explain why my tears fall like rain for you
Careless child you're in a hurry
Tell me where you're running to
Careless child don't have to worry
I'm still on your side.
I keep your portrait on my wall
I keep you letters inside the drawer
when I can stand to heaven knows I try and read them
Tell me why.
