Eisblume ("Ice Flower") is in 2007 formed pop band from German. As their German homepage says Eisblume is spherical, psychedelic and experimental band. "A flower that grows through organic and electronic world of voices."

Eisenblume consist of five members: Sontiria Schenk - called "Ria" (vocals), Philipp Schadebrodt (drums), Benny Bauman (guitar), Philipp Schaedt (bass) and Golo Schultz (keyboards). Ria sings both in German and in English.

Eisblume is a quite new band and their hit in 2009 was "Eisblumen" a new version of Subway to Sally's metal one in 2005. And this year was released their French version "Fleurs de glace" of it with a French singer Jena Lee who looks like she's rias sister :). 

This song and video are so sad and touching... There's nothing more to say.

LOUISE

Sie waren verliebt
und fast noch Kinder
die Ewigkeit - entfernt und doch so nah
er trug ihr Bild
in seiner Seele
und niemand wird verstehn was dann am Meer geschah

Louise-mein Herz
du bist so schön
die Rosen wollen verblühen wenn sie dich seh'n
Louise-mein Herz
du musst verstehen
nur ohne Dich wird unsere Liebe währen

die Zeit verrinnt
die Blätter fallen
Nacht schwebt heran
Tag ohne Wiederkehr
ein Schatten naht
verdunkelt alle Welt
löscht seine Schritte
nimmt dich mit sich fort

Louise-mein Herz
wo willst du hin
das Wasser trägt uns jetzt ins Morgenlicht
Louise-so kalt
und es wird still
umsorgt von der Unendlichkeit des Augenblicks
er ist da

Louise-mein Herz
vergib mir nicht
die Welt hält an will sich nicht weiter drehen
Louise-und doch
die Schuld trifft dich
ich ließ dich gehen aber du verlässt mich nicht

Wellen über mir
greifen nach uns voller Gier
kein Wort, kein Weg bringt dich zurück

Louise-mein Herz
jetzt komm zur Ruh
mit meinen Tränen decken wir uns zu
ich und du

LOUISE

They were in love

And still only children

The eternity - so far and still so near

He carried her image

In his soul

And nobody will understand

What happened then at sea

Louise - my love

You are so beautiful

The roses want to wither when they see you

Louise - my love

You have to understand

Only without you will our love last

Time runs

The leafs fall

After floating colser

Day of no return

A shadowed night

The world gets dark

Your steps fade away

You'll be harassed

Heavily

Louise - my love

Where do you want to?

The water takes us now to the morning lights

Louise - so cold

And it becomes still

Taken care of unendlessness of instant

He is there

Louise - my love

Forget me not

The world holds me

And it will not carry on

Louise - and still

The blame comes to you

I let you go

But you won't let me

Waves over me

Catch us with full lust

No word, no road brings you back

Louise - my love

Now comes peace

With my tears we cover us

Me and you

Sidonie

Picture is from here.

Sidonie is a Spanish band from Barcelona. It was formed in the late 90's and at first the lyrical language was mostly English but after album Fascinado (2005) it's been Spanish. 

The members are: Axel Pi (drums, bongos, tablas), Jesús Senra (bass,  vocals, sitar, guitar, main composer) and Marco Ros (main lyricist, vocals, guitar, bass guitar). They discribe Sidonie as a surrealist, psychedelic pop and psychedelic rock band. According to Sidonie the influeces comes from the Beatles, Rollings Stones, Bowie and Pink Floyd.

First album "Dragonfly" was released in 2000 and the latest "El incendio" ("The fire") in 2009.

This song is my very favourite of Sidonies songs. The basic plot of the song: A boy tries to tell a girl he's in love with her but awkwardly he falls right in front of her with his sad daisy bouquet. She thinks he's crazy and is afraid of him and calls the cops and the boy has never courage to say "I love you". It's simple and easy but so fun AND sad to listen. I'm very fond of songs which are stories that really work. You can hear that some songs are foced to specific rimes to be perfect stories but Sidonie has done it so perfect. Not too short, not too many and hard phrases.

EN MI GARGANTA

Es el día de la cita
te he traído margaritas
del jardín de mi casero
Te quiero!

En la plaza de repente
yo te veo entre la gente
me resbalo caigo al suelo
Te quiero!

Te tiendo la mano
y te ofrezco triste ramo
te apartas un poco
y me dices que estoy loco.

*Está en mi garganta

Está en mi garganta
Me está cortando y sangra

Me está cortando y sangra
Me ahoga el te quiero que jamás podré decir.*

Yo te hablo y me atraganto
estoy temblando quedo en blanco
tu me hablas yo no entiendo
Te quiero!

En las ramblas ya eres mia
tu has gritado policía
me he escondido en el puerto
Te quiero!

Espero la calma
mientras tu crucero zarpa
Agito un pañuelo
digo adiós a la que quiero.

*Está en mi garganta...*

IN MY THROAT

It's the day of the date

I've brought you daisies

From my home garden

I love you!

Suddenly on the square

I see you among the people

I slip and fall to the ground

I love you!

And to you 

I hand a sad bouquet

You draw away little

And to me you say that I'm crazy

*It is in my throat

It is in my throat

It's killing me and I bleed

It's killing me and I bleed

I suppress the "I love you"

That I never can say

I talk to you and the words get stuck

I'm shaking and I turn into white

You talk to me and I don't understand

I love you!

At market streets you are mine

You yelled the police

I hide into the harbour

I love you!

I'm waiting the peace

Meanwhile you cross the zebra crossing

I wave the handkerchief

I say goodbye to the girl I love

*It is in my throat...*
