I say I’m over you Most of the time But I just stopped thinking about you Because when I do I start to cry And your message still taste bitter Even when you coat it in honey Don’t know why I’m reading it again It doesn’t change anything Julie you brought shame over my name In July it’ll be ok On Sofie’s bad blues I hope regrets will hunt you Ghost from swallowed tears, forgotten fears I saved here And I’m trying really hard not to blame you But those Times New Roman letters don’t really make it better Julie you brought shame over my name In July it’ll be ok Julie you brought shame over my name In July it’ll be ok Uh it is childish to blame you Uh but that child screams it hates you So odd that I cannot get over you And I can’t help it, I hate you

We are some lonely freaks trying to seek a lonely freak because we, we don’t wanna be alone with our thoughts because they are too smart and they are killing us So we daze our brains cause they contain The sad, yeah the sad truth We have absolutely no use Oh what is it about us That we go nuts when no one’s around us My worst enemy is me and my ability to breathe So we daze our brains Cause they contain The sad, the sad truth We have absolutely no use And I never really knew why humans are so blue but it just feels right to me cause why would we be happy We overheat on our own abilities Oh those lonely freaks just all need some sleep

Angel Boy 03:12
I learned my lesson You were just jealous Cause you can’t behave yourself I learned my lesson You were just jealous Cause you were afraid I might do the same that you would do Uh I’m such a fool To fall for you And you say you are sorry and stoned And you can say this cause you’re the angel boy I learned my lesson That your obsession Was not about me it was about my attention And I still believe That you can be caring and kind Just not to me And I don’t really get why You are so lovely to everyone but me Oh so lovely to everyone but me And you say you are sorry and stoned And you can say this cause you’re the angel boy Angel boy you are stoned You weren’t loyal and now I’m all alone Angel boy pick up your phone Oh your secrets aren’t secrets anymore Angel boy you are stoned You weren’t loyal and now I’m all alone Angel boy pick up your phone Oh your secrets aren’t secrets anymore

I’ll make it through the day if I don’t zoom out But I was born with nostalgic bones And I cannot admit that I cannot commit I’d rather spend my life in limbo turning into A hermit it’s better than hurting them So take that hiraeth child to a place where it doesn’t feel so wrong But maybe there is no place on earth where it belongs But I lost faith after all I won’t find the way home And Sunny moved away such a long, long time ago And I’m crippling When I see how they all start to commit on things Do I belong behind the moon? Here’s too much gravity Plus it lost the truth consciously So take that hiraeth child to a place where it doesn’t feel so wrong But maybe there is no place on earth where it belongs So take that hiraeth child to a place where it doesn’t feel so wrong But maybe there is no place on earth where it belongs I don’t love it anymore
5.
I wish I didn't hate myself So I could see your beauty without doubting mine I could enjoy your face With all your unique particularities And I’m sure I’ll love one day But what if my mind will always long for you I don’t wanna see you But my body sings to be near you I guess I’m just afraid You might see me in the way I see myself Oh shame, we’ll always remain strange Don’t have a snowball's chance in hell I wanna lie down on the things we whisper into the night Fall asleep on them till Helios arrives And our souls are connected We might be philosophers And they just don’t get us We’re too fucking smart tonight Until you realize it’s all pointless and unimportant And you say that you would, that you should, that you c ould just jump of the roof right now And I say if you would I could not live I’d cried my eyes out I guess I’m just afraid you might see me in the way I see myself I’ve played a role for too fucking long And now I forgot who the fuck I was I’ve played a role for too fucking long And now I forgot who the fuck I was I guess I’m just afraid you might see me in the way I see myself

Snooze 03:54
“I like what you are saying. It’s just beautiful” “Okay it’s poetry you know” “Poetry yeah “ “Yeah” You shouldn’t always wait for the muse to kiss you Get out of bad and kiss me Then we can get lost in my bed sheets but You don’t make it easy for me to love you It’s just amazing to me That you always think you’re the center of gravity And you can’t let go I’m not your echo Is it too much for your ego That I won’t ever be yours But I don’t know if we should try it, man When you can’t give me a tired smile and Maybe one day you do can change But I don’t have the energy to wait You cannot put me on snooze Uh we are stuck in this loop And without you it’s all so calm and soothed You are not here to put your words in my mouth To twist the truth Oh I can’t take Your behaviour on my own hazy days I can’t take the pain for both of us Show me that you care Show me that you love Like back when you weren’t so selfish You were so selfless Do I know you at all? My rage increases Inside of me because You wont ever listen to me You’re simply not able to see That I change all my plans so I can be With you just so you can project All your problems on me Then disappear for a couple weeks And scare the shit out of me You cannot put me on snooze Uh we are stuck in this loop And it was so strange To watch you change And it was so strange To watch you change And it was so strange To watch you change And it was so strange To watch you change You cannot put me on snooze Uh we are stuck in this loop You cannot put me on snooze Uh we are stuck in this loop “That’s too cool, stay calm, stay calm! Not dropping too much fire, you know."

Dead eyes and dirty dishes Punishing myself with cruel thoughts Unlearned to cry, forgotten wishes Trembling through life Pretending to be someone I’m not And I’m masking, I’m asking Are you, are you disappointed? Cause I lose, I lose you and broke my promise And I’m mad at parents with babies cause they bring them into a world no one wants to live in And I hide and you hunt and you protect me you carry me home and you respect me even when I scream at you “you’re ugly” Are you, are you disappointed? Cause I lose, I lose you and broke my promise And I can’t open my eyes Cause the sun shines too bright When you haven’t slept all night Forget it, never mind Tell me pretty lies to keep me alive And I can’t open my eyes cause the sun shines too bright when you haven’t slept all night I can’t open my mouth cause I can’t change things anyway and you are ashamed of everything I say My visions are blurred I can’t see the way home but follow me I don’t want to be lost alone

Ciara 04:10
The wind blows Against our windows But it’s not you, it’s your daughter And I wonder if you are still somewhere out there The time, she runs And I tried to hunt her for so long I forgot to live All that’s left are regrets Cause all I did was yearn for it From time to time You cross my mind And the wind blows just like two years ago From time to time Ciara crosses my mind Dadadadadadadadada And I cannot control it in the oddest moments It overruns me, eyes are overflowing Cause you tugged at my limbs and left me alone with brittle mind and brittle bones Oh Ciara I’m so much older than I was yesterday I wish I could see ya Would you love who I became? Cause all I did was crave for it From time to time You cross my mind And the wind blows just like two years ago From time to time Ciara still crosses my mind Dadadadadadadadada

I learned my lesson You were just jealous Cause you can’t behave yourself I learned my lesson You were just jealous Cause you were afraid I might do the same that you would do Uh I’m such a fool To fall for you And you say you are sorry and stoned And you can say this cause you’re the angel boy I learned my lesson That your obsession Was not about me it was about my attention And I still believe That you can be caring and kind Just not to me And I don’t really get why You are so lovely to everyone but me Oh so lovely to everyone but me And you say you are sorry and stoned And you can say this cause you’re the angel boy Angel boy you are stoned You weren’t loyal and now I’m all alone Angel boy pick up your phone Oh your secrets aren’t secrets anymore Angel boy you are stoned You weren’t loyal and now I’m all alone Angel boy pick up your phone Oh your secrets aren’t secrets anymore

about

"Born With Nostalgic Bones" is the sophomore album from 17 year old singer-songwriter Julie Kuhl. Taking influence from artists such as Arlo Parks and Phoebe Bridgers, the record’s sonics range from danceable indie soul to intimate and heartbreaking folk pop, carrying a certain lyrical maturity well beyond the author’s young years. Working together with an array of 18 musicians assembled from Germany’s contemporary Jazz scene, helped add new possibilities and dimensions to her original compositions. An uplifting and authentic listening experience, this is an enthralling offering from a young musician at the start of her journey.

On the release, Julie says: ‘Never in my life have I made something that I put so much work, effort and love into. There’s nothing I’ve been able to identify with like this before. And honestly, nothing I’m so proud of.’
