1.	Being In Love (Unplugged Version) 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Being In Love Looking out the window Gazing at the stars Quietly twinkling from afar I speak to them sometimes Send my wishes to the sky Hoping for a sign Cause ever since I met you Stars are sparkling in my heart And they brighten up the dark You turned my world around Turned it upside down My head's in the clouds I wish you could be here with me So we could study astronomy Discover whole new galaxies And travel at warp speed Overcoming gravity, escaping reality I'll tell the sun and the moon What it's like being in love with you Stardust all around me And a crackling in the air I might explode but I don't care The stars shout out your name All over the milky way I'm in heaven each day I wish you could be here with me So we could study astronomy Discover whole new galaxies And travel at warp speed Overcoming gravity, escaping reality I'll tell the sun and the moon What it's like being in love with you
2.	Scared of Losing You (Unplugged Version) 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Scared of Losing You Rain’s falling down Tapping on my window This makes me think of you And I have no reason to You’re perfectly the one for me At least that’s what it seems Last night I had a dream We were together you and me I wish I’d never met you ‘Cause you won’t go off my mind I deny it to be true But I’m scared of losing you We live too far away from each other One day I might discover My heart is heavy like a stone And you make me cry alone And I’m trying to run away Although it’s not the right way I’m trying to hide my feelings Although they have some meaning I have to control them well You’re the one I just can’t tell I feel something’s in the air Yet now I feel so scared I hope you won’t forget me We’ll write to each other overseas To this land so far away I’ll think of you each day And if there’s a promise we can make That time and distance cannot break Let’s keep in touch through a pen And let’s agree we’ll meet again And I’m trying to run away Although it’s not the right way I’m trying to hide my feelings Although they have some meaning I have to control them well You’re the one I just can’t tell I feel something’s in the air Yet now I feel so scared
3.	By Your Side (Unplugged Solo Version) 04:52	lyrics	buy track
By Your Side A candle in the night Is lightening up the room There's a storm outside Clouds are covering the moon It's also raining in my mind The wind is howling, leaves me blind How can life be so unkind? We could have been in love The flowers were in bloom We really could have hit it off But you left Berlin in June Time wasn't on our side It wasn't for us to decide Even if we had tried It’s just another sad love story When everything goes wrong When two people are left so lonely And all we have is just this song Memories will be fading But this melody is yours In my heart, it will keep playing No matter where the wind blows As the morning breaks Light is flooding the room In the sun I see your face Birds are singing a gentle tune Send you a kiss, whisper goodbye Blow it away, let it fly And watch it reach the sky It’s just another sad love story When everything goes wrong When two people are left so lonely And all we have is just this song Memories will be fading But this melody is yours In my heart, it will keep playing No matter where the wind blows Even though I can't turn the tide Hope my kiss finds you alright Wish I could be there by your side Hold me tight Hold me tight By your side
4.	Summer Morning (Unplugged Version) 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Summer Morning It’s a summer morning by the sea And the sun meets the horizon The day begins so silently And I wonder what I’ll be findin’ In the distance, you can hear the waves And the cries of some sea birds I can feel the salt on my face Time stands still in this peaceful world Sun rays are reflected by the sea And the grains of sand are sparkling This is nature wild and free And the waves they splash so calmly And a summer breeze carries my thoughts Makes them sail across the ocean Will they reach another shore Will they bring luck where they're going The waves are dancing around my feet In the steady rhythm of the sea The wind sounds like a melody And the birds join in in harmony I hope this place will last Now and forever That dream is not yet lost We’re all in this together As each day begins
5.	En silence (version unplugged) 05:21	lyrics	buy track
En silence Pendant tous ces mois Qu’on ne s’est pas vu De temps en temps je pensais à toi Aux histoires qu'on a vécues L’autre jour je t’ai écrit une lettre Un beau jour tu y répondras peut-être Toujours ta photo me sourit Et ta rose ne s’est jamais flétrie Très souvent le vent sidéral Chuchote nos voeux secrets Dans nos rêves remplis d'étoiles On voit briller un monde parfait Mais parfois il se brise d'un coup, sans annonce Laissant trop de questions sans réponses Ces étoiles disparaissent dans le lointain Je les cherche mais en vain Quelque fois je retourne Aus lieux pleins de souvenirs Pour quelques instants j'y séjourne En espérant te voir sourire Ces souvenirs vont peu à peu s'effacer Ta rose perd déjà ses pétales séchés Et comme eux, je te laisserai Sans chagrin, sans regret Très souvent le vent sidéral Chuchote nos voeux secrets Dans nos rêves remplis d'étoiles On voit briller un monde parfait Mais parfois il se brise d'un coup, sans annonce Laissant trop de questions sans réponses Ces étoiles disparaissent dans le lointain Je les cherche mais en vain Très souvent le vent sidéral Chuchote nos voeux secrets Dans nos rêves remplis d'étoiles On voit briller un monde parfait Mais parfois il se brise d'un coup, sans annonce Laissant trop de questions sans réponses Ces étoiles disparaissent dans le lointain Je les cherche mais en vain
6.	A Leaf In The Wind (Unplugged Version) 04:53	lyrics	buy track
A Leaf In The Wind I’m looking out the window It’s beginning to get dark Now I'm left alone with my memories Dancing to the beat of my heart I know the world is turning Sometimes we are fools Sometimes bridges burn Life plays by its own rules There's some comfort in the city lights Shining through my tears While illusions and fantasies Are making their way here They are telling me stories Fairy tales at best Yet they're fading away They're not making sense Where can I go? When all the doors are closed? I don't know but I keep searching And I try to deny it but I'm dreaming my life away How can my dreams guide me When they're leading me astray? Outside the trees are rustling Whispering in the breeze They seem old and wise so maybe they know The answer to all mysteries A leaf in the wind is falling Sailing through the night My eyes try to follow its path Until it's out of sight The night wind joins the street noise They are singing me a song Composing a gentle melody Telling me life goes on A dream may be misleading But really it's a quest It's a constant journey As life puts us to the test Where can I go? When all the doors are closed? I don't know but I keep searching And I try to deny it but I'm dreaming my life away How can my dreams guide me When they're leading me astray? Where can I go? When all the doors are closed? I still don't know but I keep searching I'm looking for a sign, ever so small, a dim light in the haze Can there be a new beginning Leading to brighter days A new beginning Leading to brighter days
7.	There's Something I Should Tell You (Unplugged Version) 04:15	lyrics	buy track
There’s Something I Should Tell You There’s something I should tell you Something that you should know You’re so dear and kind Oh, yes There’s something special about you Something that makes you shine From deep inside Oh, yes Your smile is like the sun that's rising Inviting me to stay You chase away the rain It’s a great gift you came Into my life When we are together I feel I can be myself Like everything's alright Oh yes I feel like you see me Like I don't have to hide You show me how to fly Oh yes You're showing me the stars and how to reach them Even though sometimes I'm scared Cause you believe in me You bring out the best in me All the time I hope there comes a time When I can do the same for you In any way I can Oh yes For now just let me say I’m most grateful you exist Thank you my friend Thank you my friend

about

In April 2021 I released the Nostalgia EP which contains five songs I wrote between 1991 and 1995 and which you can listen to here:

annikajayne.bandcamp.com/album/nostalgia-ep

However, I also wanted to release acoustic versions, especially of these songs. So, here they are, as pure and raw as I wrote them back then (except for the lyrics, which I revised for all of the songs except Scared of Losing You). These versions were recorded live from 21st to 23rd May 2021 with just one mic in my home studio. Apart from the five songs that were on the original Nostalgia EP, there are two more songs from that era, There's Something I Should Tell You written in 1995, and Summer Morning written in 1996. I hope you enjoy them!

This album is an exclusive Bandcamp release and free.

There's quite a strong Fleetwood Mac vibe running through this EP, especially on the song Tell Me Now, and The Ticking Tide as well. These two solo artists, both already creators of wonderful music in their own rights, work beautifully together. I'm hoping for more great songs from them in the future. Storm of Crows
