Cherish Me 02:37
Cherish me, my love and melt the ice in your chest Suppose you didn’t sit down next to me on purpose Forget about everyone you had a word or two to say to Cherish me, cherish me And everyone else too Cherish me, cherish me And everyone else too I’m the sorrow in your lungs 
I’m the failure on your tongue
 So why won’t you get rid of me? Get rid of me now
 What are you waiting for?
 Rid of me, cherish me
 What are you waiting for?
 You wanna get rid of me, cherish me
 There’s nothing to look forward to if you don’t Get rid of me
 And everyone else too

Higher Love 03:40
What to do? When Cupid’s arrow flies right into you Out to kill all what's been grounding you Swept out by the feeling Getting blown away Praying that the feeling goes both ways What to do, what to do? When your heart’s in bloom But it’s higher love that you are looking for And your fire chokes the one that you adore What to do? Oh what to do? When it’s been so long that you’ve been on your own Feeling weak yet coming on too strong And as the story moves along It goes all wrong And there is nothing you can do (What to do) When your heart’s in bloom But it’s higher love that you are looking for And your fire chokes the one that you adore And you’re praying that the feeling goes both ways Clinching as you watch it slip away You’ve reminded me that my life isn’t over And I got time Higher love is flowing in now let’s not miss this moment Not this time Oh what to do? It’s gone Give it up, give in and move on That’s what you're gonna do You see there You see there Ain’t no higher love than what’s already in your heart (So what do you keep looking for?) Ain’t no higher love than what’s already in your heart (What do you keep looking for?) Ain’t no higher love than what’s already in your heart (There ain't no, no, no, no) Ain’t no higher love

But listen I’m a lady Intuition knows already By december we’ll be steady Cause the energies are ready Hibernating in your bedsheets Cause you cannot keep away from me, I I just wanna vibe Take the time To get to know you a little bit better I just wanna vibe I just wanna vibe I just wanna vibe I just wanna vibe I just wanna I just wanna I just wanna vibe I just wanna I just wanna I’m a clingy little lover Clingeling-ling Such a clingy little lover I only want one thing I’m a clingy little lover Clingeling-ling Such a clingy little lover I only want one thing Now I I just wanna vibe Take the time I just wanna vibe I just wanna vibe I just wanna vibe So what you running from?

Maria 04:12
Lady Maria Leave me no tears to cry Leave me no tears to cry You leave me Lady Maria Leave me no tears to cry Leave me no tears to cry You leave me If I ever get my hands on the guy Who made you so sad you wanna die I‘ll pierce his heart until he hurts like you inside Cause I see you aching for both sides Cause boys don’t know how to cry Reporting, planet earth, 2019 And you’re burying the rose alive And he don’t even realize it’s a funeral Lady Maria You leave me no tears to cry Leave me no tears to cry You leave me Lady Maria Leave me no tears to cry Leave me no tears to cry You leave me If love was supposed to hurt Wouldn’t we have hell on earth? I close my eyes, you look around Make your peace with it Maybe nobody comes around Lady you leave me (Lady Maria, you leave me, you leave me) Lady you leave me (Lady Maria, you leave me, you leave me) If love was supposed to hurt Wouldn’t we have hell on earth? Now take your eyes and look inside I buried the rose alive Must have been a hundred times I will repeat it ’til I die Maria, all but one survive the funeral

Roadkill 04:21
I am roadkill, in the way of your salvation You getting yours by crushing mine And in this frame of mind Salvation’s hard to find For the roadkill Always in the wrong place Never at the right time (Always, never) While you own the moment Your future wheel’s in motion, rolling Roadkill stuck here in devotion To a moment forever gone there on the pavement See me waving, nothing’s new here, the dream fails The heart aches, the soul shakes, the car don’t break It hits and drives into the night, headlights fading into the sky This bird will fly a thousand miles, this bird is Damage control, side of the road It is what it is And what it is is a life by the side of the road Dead, beat, crushed, low Perspective versus circumstance You will never get what you will never have so let go of your dreams and the ones that you love If they haven’t already run off It is what it is and what is is a series of failures, yeah Trial, error, trial, error, error Trial, error, error, error And I can’t see it, not one single reason to go on and get up and try anything So I lay on my back, let the dark night move in Roadkill, don’t lie down on the pavement There will be another crossing Don’t you know it’s danger To stop moving Licking paws 'cause of a future lost Just causes future loss But it don’t run out unless you forever stay down Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you stay down (I am roadkill) I am roadkill, in the way of your salvation You getting yours, you getting yours Roadkill, get up from the pavement There will be another crossing Don’t you know it’s danger To stop moving Licking paws 'cause of a future lost Just causes future loss But it don’t run out unless you forever stay down No, it don’t run out (See the warning sign) No, it don’t run out (See the warning sign) No, it don’t

Made Of Rain 02:03
I haven’t seen the moon in days Been so busy changing my ways Been so busy staying myself Despite everybody else I haven’t cried in forty days Though inside I am made of rain Oh baby, baby that’s ok It has always been this way It has always been this way It has always been this way

Abundance Of 03:27
I’ve quit sleeping and the world’s alive Got my head on the abundance of life Got my head on the abundance of life Got my head (Hey hey) Nobody there to see it with me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) Just how the world is changing on me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) Nobody there to witness it with me Now my heart is crying cause it’s getting real (Now my heart is crying cause it’s getting real) Does the tree make a noise When nobody hears? 
Did the tree make a noise When it fell to no ears?
 Did the tree make a noise? When there’s nobody there to hear it with me? (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) Just how the world is changing on me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) From a joy within to a void in me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) Nobody there to witness it with me Woke with my eyes lit Not like I used to wake Wanting to quit, low,, down, done with it No, now I’m abundant with it
 Are you done with it? 
Sharing your time with me 
 Gotta know if I gotta quit missing you now 
Cause I thought you’d forever be there Must have imagined it 
Millions of times How can it be The world is still and you You’re not there to see it with me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of)
 Just how the world is changing on me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) 
From a joy within to a void in me (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of)
 And you’re not there to witness any of it (Oh the abundance of, oh the abundance of) And you’re not there to see it with me

Who I am and what I want (Seeded) Coming down from clouds of love (Where it was, oh so clear) Who to fight and who to let go When to fight and when to let go And the faces they have all been shown Shining evidence of all I used to know But who I am and what I want is done Who I am is who I can’t become Don’t go there love Hold your horses Don’t go there love Don’t go there love Hold your horses Don’t go there Go there 
Who I am and what I want, to settle One who cannot move but can’t hold still Who I am and all I have forgotten 
Who I am and all I have destroyed Don’t go there love Hold your horses Don’t go there love Who I am and what I want is shattered (Don’t go there love, hold your horses) For better or for worse (Hold your horses) I’m gonna be newborn in a brand new ward (Hold your horses) You won’t recognize me anymore You won’t recognize me anymore You won’t recognize me anymore
10.
Speaking from a muted heart (Speaking from a muted heart) L.U.V. we have to part (L.U.V. we have to part) We could be so good together (Oh so good together) Can’t be now so must be never Speaking from a place of scars (Speaking from a place of scars) L.U.V. you make me feel them all (You make me feel them all) So as the surge begins To unfamiliar things I clench my hands and hold it in Wish I could give in, lose myself in this Crazy unfamiliar feeling But you know how it is The choice does not exist Unless you can imagine it But it’s real to me It is real to me Your love is real to me It is real to me It is real to me Your love is real to me It is real to me Your love is real to me This ain’t the time or place to make a change, it never is (Real to me) Feelings evaporate like all the unfamiliar things (Real to me) That’s real to me Yeah that’s real to me Real, real, for real (Real to me) You know how it is Nothing can exist Unless you can imagine it Oh you know how it is Nothing can exist Unless you can imagine it (Unless you can imagine it) Oh you know how it is Nothing can exist Unless you can imagine it So go on, imagine it Go on, imagine it
11.
As the self-renewal move is getting old 
Your knowledge of me seems to grow and grow I’m watching as the worst in me evolves Do you hate me yet? Do you hate me yet? I’m pleading with you, let me be alone Don’t look to me 
Look around and just behold
 The sun has set Don’t you get me yet? Don’t you get me yet?
12.
I’ve been blessed with longing fever I see life in everything 
Waking up isn’t safe for me
 I will hold on to this dream Yesterday you saw me crying 
That was the day you broke the spell Can’t you see, I don’t take it well
 So if you quit dreaming Please don’t tell Keep your doubting to yourself I’ve been blessed with longing fever 
A little hope to keep me sane
 Until I’m on those feet again 
This lonely dreamer has found a friend Let me keep dreaming until the end Let me keep dreaming until the end Don’t you ever dare to wake me again

about

Longing Fever, the fifth full-length album from singer-songwriter / producer Evelinn Trouble, is a dark and sobering examination of our need to love and be loved. Visceral, layered, and rich in nuance; each of the twelve songs found on here were expertly crafted to land on your tongue with ease—designed to be addictive. Trouble was always a genre shapeshifter, but with this record the fusion of styles is so natural and seamless that it’s impossible to break it down into primary components. When she fuses old-timey a capella singing with heavily distorted drums („Just Wanna Vibe“) or contrasts techno beats with Iggy Pop’esque guitar riffs („Abundance Of“) what we get is essentially the sound of Trouble! It’s hard to even separate the synthetic from the acoustic as far as the arrangements are concerned, as the instrumentation blends together so naturally: everything working together to carry her dark and mature voice. A voice that - on top of her eerie and poetic lyrics - carries a story of it’s own.
 
With only a couple of exceptions, the entire material was written in Berlin. It happened during one of those dark, heavy winters. If you’ve ever had the privilege to live through one, then you already know that introspection is not really a choice, and wrestling with your shadows is a daily default. In „Roadkill“ this is tangible, as Trouble summons her inner demons in a breathless rap that explodes into fireworks and a choral of saxophones. The writing process corresponded with Evelinn’s commitment to rebuilding her voice from scratch, using proper operatic techniques. It was a laborious and disciplined process, because the mission was to undo years of misuse and abuse, from making herself heard in all the loud bands she used to play with. Yes, Trouble knows trouble and a path layered with lemons. And her way of making lemonade is to write the kind of songs that you mysteriously fall in love with and then carry in your heart for years.
