1.	Praying Hands (Acoustic Version) 04:34	lyrics	buy track
Praying Hands A photo album lying on my desk With sweet and bitter memories By now the wind has turned a million times When nothing ever stays the same ‘Cause you are there and I am here And no-one is to blame Well, clocks have stopped and time’s no longer real ‘Cause you will never leave my mind We’ve picked our dreams from fancy trees And now they’re hanging framed on our hearts’ walls And when I fear they slowly fade Your voice meets mine when you call ‘Cause we are just as close As praying hands When one hand is mine And the other one is yours We won’t run out of time There’s no distance in our minds ‘Cause we’ll just hold on tight The wind in the trees is singing our song In the golden autumn light And those falling leaves they’re dancing And they’ll surely find their way And like by chance they’ll meet again Well, our thoughts are just the same ‘Cause we are just as close As praying hands When one hand is mine And the other one is yours We won’t run out of time There’s no distance in our minds ‘Cause we’ll just hold on tight Now, look the sea won’t run out of water Like we won’t run out of trust If I found a seashell in that sea so deep and wide Sure I’d find a pearl inside ‘Cause we are just as close As praying hands When one hand is mine And the other one is yours We won’t run out of time There’s no distance in our minds ‘Cause we’ll just hold on tight
2.	Heart of Mine (Acoustic Version) 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Heart of Mine “I’m scared” said my heart As she set out to race through the night Haunted by the dark, Full of whispers that held her tight She raced in big circles Aimlessly and lost Facing sky-hurdles Trying to win at all costs And I said: "Heart of mine Slow down Heart of mine Slow down If you slow down, you’ll win all life’s races Heart of mine Calm down Heart of mine Calm down If you calm down, you’re going places!" “How can I calm down with all those shadows that lie in wait I’m trying to make my way Through the maze they create All I’m facing is dead-ends Leading into the void My view is blackened My hope is destroyed!” And I said: "Heart of mine Have faith Heart of mine Have faith To every maze, there is a way out Heart of mine Have faith Heart of mine Have faith If you have faith, to the sunlight you’ll step out!" "Heart of mine Slow down Heart of mine Have faith Heart of mine Calm down Heart of mine Let go!"
3.	The Eagle Flies Alone (Acoustic Version) 03:34	lyrics	buy track
The Eagle Flies Alone Hey girl Did they make fun of you again ‘Cause your words don’t make sense to them But that’s not your fault at all In the end, it will be them who fall Hey girl Did they hurt your fragile mind Because you’re of a different kind Has it ever occurred to you There’s a special side that doesn’t yet get through If they’re laughing at you, don’t stare at them in shock Even though it hurts you to the bone You know, ravens fly in flocks But the eagle flies alone You know ravens fly in flocks But the eagle flies alone Hey girl There’s a place only known to you Of which they don’t really have a clue It’s you who holds the key When they judge you superficially Hey girl Let them laugh and talk They don’t see the magic of your thoughts There lies a strength yet unforeseen It’s time to spread your eagle’s wings If they’re laughing at you, don’t stare at them in shock Even though it hurts you to the bone You know, ravens fly in flocks But the eagle flies alone You know ravens fly in flocks But the eagle flies alone
4.	Petite planète (version acoustique) 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Petite planète Paroles: Franck Deschamps Ma petite planète T'es devenue poubelle Tu n'as plus l'air très net Et tu n'es plus très belle Ma petite planète Tu ne tournes plus rond On marche sur la tête Nous pauvres fanfarons Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? Ma petite planète Tes forêts et tes mers N'inspirent plus les poètes En devenant des chimères Ma petite planète On rêve de l'univers D'y faire un pied-à-terre Un Eden tout en vert Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? Ma planète bleue Bleue des coups qu'on t'inflige C'est vraiment ce qu'on veut Et ta souffrance m'afflige Ma planète en noir Qui portera ton deuil De l'infini, d'un soir De l'espace, ton cercueil? Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi?
5.	Leaves In Autumn (Piano Version) 05:07	lyrics	buy track
Leaves In Autumn Outside, snow’s falling down Covering the leaves on the ground As I’m gazing at the snowflakes’ dance My thoughts travel to the past It’s just one of these days When memories rush through Thinking of people and places That left a mark on you On my wall there is an old photograph Of a friend of mine, oh, how we used to laugh Meanwhile the snow keeps drifting down Reminding me she’s no longer around How memories can hurt sometimes And then again they shine Moments so divine Yet gone for all time Those days of the past Hold memories that last We live and learn As pages turn And my memories Are falling like the leaves in autumn So colourful, whirling all around Drifting, swirling to the ground Where they’re forever to be found The window’s reflection shows my face Where both pain and joy left some kind of trace There is an eyelash on my cheek I blow it away wishing secretly That someday by surprise We’ll meet in a close embrace The same sparkling in our eyes That time can’t erase Those days of the past Hold memories that last We live and learn As pages turn And my memories Are falling like the leaves in autumn So colourful, whirling all around Drifting, swirling to the ground Where they’re forever to be found It’s just one of these days When memories rush through Thinking of people and places That left a mark on you

about

These are the acoustic versions of the Time To Spread Your Wings EP, except Koffer. Some of them are a bit different from the versions of the original - on Praying Hands and Heart of Mine I added some harmonies, whereas The Eagle Flies Alone as well as Petite planète are just guitar and vocals. As for Leaves In Autumn, I had always dreamt of recording a piano version of this song and I am thrilled you can find it on this EP. Hope you like it!

This album is an exclusive Bandcamp release and free. The only song from the album that's also on streaming services is the piano version of Leaves In Autumn.

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
