Myosotis 03:17
I don‘t need you to need me There‘s nothing in this world that could relieve me Tell me your velvet lies Babe I believe you There‘s nothing in this world that could relieve me There‘s nothing left right here It feels like I know you Until the waves wash you away Feels good to hold you And right is where I‘ll stay I thought you told me Think of me when you pray I thought you told me Think of me when you pray Think of me when you pray Think of me when you pray And right here is where I‘ll stay Think of me when you pray

Iron Lung 03:55
Oh, iron lung, are you at the house? Will you be alright, did they throw you out? I want to know, are they keeping you down? Are you working now, is it working out? Now, I suppose you've been under the gun Is it closing time, do you have to run? Try this on... you feel perfect now Did they speak of you until their tongues fell out? I don't believe you, iron lung I don't believe in the plow You kept me young, you were my iron lung I need you now Now, iron lung, did they make you sing When they bent your arm and took your ring? I can see you now, I can hear your sound You keep me up, my iron lung I don't believe you, iron lung I don't believe in the plow You kept me young, you were my iron lung I need you now

I thought I knew one who told me i kept em safe Got caught up in love it can make it through today Now all I think of is how will I run away Buried in the problems of the yesterday, yesterday, yesterday Buried in the problems of the yesterday, yesterday, yesterday In the same old town, I saw your face You seemed so sad, I felt the same I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change (x2) You thought you knew love, I thought that I felt the same I found a new love, you found out i felt ashamed I thought I knew love, but home-girl didn't think the same she found a new love, I went within again In the same old town, I saw your face You seemed so sad, I felt the same I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change (x2)

about

A Cover Collection produced by THYMIAN in 2021/2022

These three songs are "Landmarks" in my experience as a music lover. I listened to each of these songs on repeat for a long time, in some cases for years actually. They inspired my own music and worked as a sonic gateway drug that brought me to where I am now. I fell in love with the atmospheres these artists created with their tunes – they cheer me up, make me dance and let me cry. I tried to stick to the original sound in order to do justice to the artists and spent hours patching on my synthesizer and trying out different settings and sonic landscapes on guitars and bass. To build a bridge between their and my musical style I added additional vocal and instrumental harmonies.

Each one of the three pictures on the cover represent one song off the collection. The pictures were taken back in 2012. Back then, I didn’t own an analogue camera but I’ve found my own approach of how to achieve the analogue feel. After taking the picture with a digital camera, I retouched the picture, printed the negative onto an overhead transparency and brought it with me to the dark room where I exposed it to the photographic paper. After giving it a bath and letting it dry, I scanned it. Eventually, after 10 years, this series of photographs has found its purpose as the artwork for this cover collection.
