Gate to Venus © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Above the Arctic Ocean
Flying through the air
A set of new emotions
I'll go you'll meet me there
Above the Arctic Ocean
You send me little tapes
Chords of new devotion
Like shiny sunny lakes
So you say you know the Gate to Venus
One day there'll be no space between us
So you say you know the Gate to Venus
One day there'll be no space between us
Above the Arctic Ocean
Flying through the air
The ground is white frozen
You're far away from here
So you say you know the Gate to Venus
One day there'll be no space between us
So you say you know the Gate to Venus
One day there'll be no space between us

Talking Trees © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
The fall is rising, purple view
Silhouettes of trees
No time for hiding, me and you
Marionettes of leaves
Dancing on the wind
Like the candle flame
No matter how we bend
Our roots will stay, our roots will stay the same
Talking trees whisper words of light
The day will draw us closer
To bring us through the night
Morning star signals from the east
We will travel far and wide and plant the seed
So let us share repair
And raise our glasses high
Focus be aware
And let the light guide
And dive into the night
And dive into the light
Talking trees whisper words of light
The day will draw us closer
To bring us through the night
Morning star signals from the east
We will travel far and wide and plant the seed
I’ll show you something new
How breathe the sound
Only me and you
We float above the ground
Illuminate the Autumn
Twilight sings a song
Never reach the bottom
When we sing along
When we sing along
Talking trees whisper words of light
The day will draw us closer
To bring us through the night
Morning star signals from the east
We will travel far and wide and plant the seed
And when the flowers bloom
We let the canvas drop
Naked skin by noon
As perfect doesn’t stop
Bare tree trunks spread on solitude
Standing brave in snow
Looking down on the altitude from the peaks below
And they’ll never stand alone
Another season is rising
Branches stretch ‘cause they have grown
In spite of all the lightning
And the sun will dry the sands
As the tides retreat
A green and fertile land
A pulse, a wave, a beat

On and On © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Headed North today
The sun and clouds cast a shade
We hope to see the Moon
Over the misty tomb
Walking under birch
WE’ll sneak into a church
The tea has yet to steep
Grave diggers still asleep
On and on and on and on we go
Morning autumn calling as we glow
We’ll reach the beach by twilight
Watch the waves in the moonlight
On and on and on and on we go
Birds they do fly south
You took the words right out of my mouth
And to this perfect day
We move on our way
On and on and on and on we go
Morning autumn calling as we glow
We’ll reach the beach by twilight
Watch the waves in the moonlight
On and on and on and on we go
Foot in front of the other
WE seek to discover
Rolling hills and shoots of grass
We’ll make the moments last
We’ll make the moments last
On and on and on and on we go
Morning autumn calling as we glow
We’ll reach the beach by twilight
Watch the waves in the moonlight
On and on and on and on we go

Walk Free

Words and Music: © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Walk Free
I travel the world with you
Unravel the world with you
If there’s one thing I can say
to lighten up your day
Don’t be afraid to lead the way
Let’s get lost on unknown streets
Follow the beat of our feet
as they lead us from the heat
of fires left behind
And you will see
We’re meant to walk free
So take my hand and follow me
Loose the chains of poverty
We’ve got the key
We stoke the fires of now
And still stay safe someway somehow
Amongst the pain of the past
We keep the greener grass
So don’t be afraid to go too fast
Let’s get lost on unknown streets
Follow the beat of our feet
As they lead us from the heat
of fires left behind
And you will see
We’re meant to walk free
So take my hand and follow me
Loose the chains of poverty
We’ve got the key
6 countries in 3 days!

Golden Black © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
When the sun sets
My eyes turn red
When Venus shows
My fire glows
When the Moon shines
You better run and hide
Black purple skies
Silhouettes in a deep pocket of red
Charcoal cloud in the sky
Driving straight into the sunset
And we’ll never wonder why
Air tastes like time is right
I’d love to drink this potion
Driving through the night
Turquoise sand in an orange ocean
The song of the now is golden black
Come along baby now
There’s no way back
The song of the now is golden black
Come along baby now
There’s no way back

Cube of Light © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
I’d like to ask for the cube of light
To come down through me with the sound of white
I’d like to ask for the purple light
To open my eye with rays of insight
I’d like to ask for a blue light
To protect my body in the darkest nights
I’d like to ask for the green light
To open my heart when it’s cold and tight
Sometimes I feel like I’m a motherless child
So come and hit me with the sound of light, WILD
I’d like to ask for the yellow light
To shine like the Sun make me fit for fight
I’d like to ask for the orange light
A gut feeling of hope to know what’s wrong and right
I’d like to ask for the red light
To embrace our souls when you’re by my side
Sometimes I feel like I’m a motherless child…
It’s a cube of light, it’s a cube of light...
Sometimes I feel like I’m a motherless child...

Save It for The City © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
There’s something about this town
There’s something ‘bout the sound
heard ‘bout this place before
I’m coming through to look for more
I’m bringing someone new
to introduce to you
There’s something about this town
Prepare to Wear your crown
So let me pay your drink
before you’ve had a chance to think
Let’s kiss like those who love
And let’s rise far above
I see the fireside
Reflected in your eyes
Planetary rock style
I kiss your hair and lick your smile
I’ve got you baby
You’ve got it baby
Save it baby
Save it for the city
Just got into the city
My shoes are shined and gritty
What’s it gonna be, hit me
A fire went to ocean
Mired in this motion
Oh my god I love you
Can we go I’ll show you
I’ve got you baby...

Night Train to Paris © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Took a night train to Paris
On the Russian roulette
But it never transpired
Didn’t get a couchette
Made our way to the district
Walked in the rain
Grey skies we’re in for it
Helped a woman with a cane
I'll never take a train again to Paris
I'd rather take a plane than do it again, do it again
Headed for the castle
To collect that past
The past is such a dazzle
The future is now at last
History is singing
Through revolution streets
Leaves lit Luminescent
Bells ringing free
I'll never take a train again to Paris
I'd rather take a plane than do it again, do it again
We travel underground
To meet the Norman King
And then we will dine in sound
At cafe de L’Industrie
Surprises full of magic
Secrets full of passion
Momentum is magnetic
It’s never out of fashion
I'll never take a train again to Paris
I'd rather take a plane than do it again, do it again
We are letting go of the past
Future now is here at last
I've seen the future, and it's all about now
Yeah!

High © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Dandelions and Hurricanes
Washed away the stain
I can't remember
When things were so arranged
When I think, of the past
Didn't last, went so fast
And in one day my whole
Life has changed
The clock is ticking tick tick ticking
I've been waiting for so long
Tumbling down like waterfalls
Tumbling down like waterfalls
I've been waiting for so long
(I said you wanna to get) 4X
Chorus 1
High
I said you wanna to get
I said I wanna to get
I said I wanna to get
You know I wanna to get
V2
Superheroes & Shamans feign
They’re always changing names
Paris is full of them
We’re coming to meet u again
On our way to The west
Night train, no rest, no stress
In two days we’ll be back in Berlin
Then we’re jumping on a southbound plane
Studio, beaches, figs and peaches
And no winter rain
There's some things you just can't explain
Empty pockets
We got rockets
Full of chocolate
And a song to ease the pain
BRIDGE
I've been waiting for so long
Tumbling down like waterfalls
Tumbling down like waterfalls
I've been waiting for so long
Chorus 2
High
I said you wanna to get
I said I wanna to get
I said I wanna to get
You know I wanna to get

Never Ever © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
I don't think that I'll get used to it
Never Ever
From the look in your eyes
I see the color of sky
And all the times we talked about doing the things that we did
It was a magic time
You and me exchanged signs
And all the ways we added to
Sound and the colors of the skylines
We can fly!
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
I went from New York City
Right here to Berlin baby
Just to look at all I went through
And see it all core to core
I heard the call
And we went down to the crystal ball
It's time to walk through the door
And that's for sure
I know...
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, ever get used to it
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
Ever since I’ve known you
You were the brightest of 'em all
Of all the multiplicity and earthly and heavenly bodies
It was early in the fall
With the foliage on fire
I remember distinctly to state that you
Wore a light colored cape to the party
I just
I don't think that I'll get used to it...
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
You wore a white ermine coat
We went from coast to coast
Just to see what we could be and
To live and to truly discover
Then quite suddenly
It fell right down upon me
This feeling that I'll always hold dear
In my heart forever
Oh I think I'll
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
All the times I think I might stop now
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it

Brand New Shoes © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Hold your tongue
Hold your thoughts
You’re digging your own grave
When you speak out loud
You try to play me
You play yourself
I found my way to better days
Don’t need your help
Cause
I’ve got brand new shoes
Walking Crispy streets
I’ve got Breaking news
Staggered on 50 beats
I’m all set up
To shine my light
Can’t get enough
Can't get enough
I’m so high
Letters crawl
straight out of my fingers
Play themselves out loud
and shout when I sing’em
Cause
I’ve got brand new shoes
Walking Crispy streets
I’ve got Breaking news
Staggered on 50 beats
I’m all set up
To shine my light
Can’t get enough
Can't get enough
I’m so high

Money © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Get up off the floor
Don’t look down you’ll be alright
Walk out the door
Reach your arms into the sky
Look for more
Feel the sun upon your face
You’ve reached the shore
The ground is still, there’s no more Waves
Bridge:
Now Bring it back
I’ve got your back
And we will play those purple tones that you like
in the middle of the night
And when the planets align
We’ll be in a state of mind
to harvest all the grain
from the coloring
Hook:
Come on
Come on now
Come on
Bring it home now
Come on home now babe
Keep it coming
Verse:
Make the dough
from the grain we planted way back when
We were low
Now we roll like Yang and Yin
I had a vision
Your angels rock the Greatest wings
Intuition
I’ve got the keys, go play your strings
Bridge:
Now bring it back
I’ve got your back
And we will cross 3 borders within a few days, let’s ride the rails
And when the planets align
We’ll be in a state of mind
To take over the train
And make it rain
Hook:
Come on
Come on now
Come on
Bring it home now
Come on home now babe
Keep it coming
Come on
Come on now
Come on
Bring it home now
Come on home now babe
Keep it coming

2020 Vision © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp
Away from the hymns
Away from my limbs
Away from the sting
Floating on a carpet
Hill above the hill
Looking down at scarlet
In it for the kill
Metal wings plowing through the air
Cello strings, whispers of despair
Got me floating through the atmosphere
Stay with me here
Stay, don’t disappear
Say words of wisdom
In my ear
Floating on a carpet
Hill above the hill
Looking down at scarlet
In it for, in it for the kill
Metal wings plowing through the air
Cello strings, whispers of despair
Got me floating through the atmosphere
Ethereal and translucent
The other side of life
Looking through the veil
I cut the silk with the knife
2020, 2020 Vision
Is the new fate
On a new mission
It’s not too late
Metal wings plowing through the air
Cello strings, whispers of despair
Got me floating through the atmosphere
