BANSHEE-BEDEVILLED THRILL-RIDE
The oppressive, just short of suffocating heart-pounding beat paints black, misty-murky mood images: sirens and demons circle around, above us in the wind-swept moonlit darkness, keening harpies, dementing wraiths, voodoo-ecstatic, soul-sucking succubi, bat-squeaking fiends, ghoulish girls – great as we approach October’s Gothic darkness; the escape-door, shimmering with a near-death radiance, taunting, jeering gleefully malicious in the distance – just out of reach. Mesmerizing, addictive, hypnotic, and fatefully, fatally attractive, mortally seductive. While Tim Freitag’s original rendition of «By Your Side» playfully, colorfully flicked away the gray day-to-day world like an annoying fly, Alessandro Giannelli’s version expresses his delicious pleasure in poking into recently healed wounds. But you continue to stay, gladly, willingly, enthralled, ecstatically enzombied, lusciously, seductively, eternally lost «By Your Side».
Bromance in Zurich’s Café Bar Nordbrücke
Alessandro Giannelli and Tim Freitag got to know each other in 2013 at the Dynamo Club in Zürich - in their then bandroom on the River Limmat. One fateful summer night, Alessandro programmed the drumbeat on a first demo of «The Wave». In the meantime, ever since then, Alessandro and the band meet regularly in Zurich’s Nordbrücke to philosophize about music -- while slightly inebriated -- until late into the night and wee hours of the following morn. True bromance, as it were!

lyrics
(Original Lyrics)
Can you let it go
The things you think you know
Take the time to let it let it
Sink into the cold
Cause you’ve become the only
Saviour of my lonely
Beating heart that wants you wants you Wants you
by my side
A distant silhouette, careless and resigned
Tell me, you’ll be always by my side
I can’t find myself, I can’t find myself tonight
So I’ll keep waiting for you, by your side
By your side, oh my heart is burning for you
Load the broken gun
Watch me come undone
Pull the trigger quick And let it let it
all ring out
In my side a bullet
Fighting to get through it
Stumbling but my mind still wants you Wants you
by my side
A distant silhouette, won’t you roll the dice
You just keep me hanging by your side
I can’t find myself, I can’t find myself tonight
So I’ll keep waiting for you, by your side
By your side, oh my heart is burning for you
By your side, so I’ll wait and wait for you my love
Frozen statue, oh boy you’re holding back
Let me thaw you, a distant silhouette
Frozen statue, oh boy you’re holding back
Let me thaw you, a distant silhouette
Can’t find myself, can’t find myself tonight
I’m drowning under crowded, crowded citylights
I can’t find myself, can’t find myself tonight
And I’ll wait and wait for your love by your side
By your side, oh my heart is burning for you
By your side, oh and I’ll wait and wait for you my love
By your side , oh my heart is burning for you
By your side, so I keep waiting for you

Although still in the springtime of their budding careers, Tim Freitag’s tunes have a mature, more autumnal spirit to them:
withering, fading relationships, torn, shattered hearts, dark, ominous clouds on the horizon.
Zwar stehen sie im Frühling ihres Bandlebens, Tim Freitag bespielen jedoch vor allem Herbstliches; verwelkende Beziehungen, gebrochene Herzen, dunkle Wolken am Horizont....more
