about

"Oh Life" is the name of the second single with which Evelinn Trouble sweetens our late summer. A previously kept-secret song gem that originates from the sessions for her award-winning album "Longing Fever." Warm, atmospheric, and full of groove, with lyrics that honestly and unsparingly strike into the heart - Trouble remains true to herself. In the fall, the singer embarks on a solo tour through Switzerland and will perform her new songs in front of an audience for the first time.

lyrics

Life, oh life
Please change for me
I‘ve been so sad
I don‘t want to be

I feel that my soul is in need
Of a change in reality
Cannot keep going down at this speed
What can I do?

So many ways to lose ground
Only one way to turn it around
And I have to start with it now
‘Cause never won‘t do 
So
Life, oh life
Please change for me
I‘ve been so sad
I don‘t want to be

You see many lovers around
But you just can't figure it out
Someone to elevate you beyond every doubt
Isn‘t found
And whenever the heart skips a beat
‘Cause of a beautiful soul that you meet
The moment‘s so real
But so fleeting
And they disappear

Then say
Life, oh life
Please change for me
I‘ve been so sad
I don‘t want to be
Dark, lean times
Be gone today
I‘ve been so low
I don‘t want to be

Some new hope will come my way
Sweep me up then fade away
When the dream has been dreamed up

I'll give in but I won't give up
I'll get back up saying

Life, oh life
Please change for me
I've been so sad
I don't want to be
Oh love, oh love
Just make your way
I've been so alone
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
