Stevens style of music has often been brought into connection with names such as Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Jamie Cullum or David Gray. The fact that his listeners have associated his sound with such different genres shows that we are dealing with a unique and authentic style of music here. His songs are mostly a musical catalysis of own experiences, which take on the perspective of everyday life, without however loosing the focus on major issues. His guitar playing incorporates elements of Rock-, Pop, Blues-, and Jazz music and his expressive voice not only manages to credibly combine these different styles but also to transport his poetic lyrics with a lot of feeling and intimacy. The listener can look forward to a varied and moving sound. Sometimes moving the heart, sometimes the body. Steven is professionally supported by Andrew Mottl - Drums & Percussion Markus Braun - Double Bass Julian David - Piano & Keyboards Corinna Simon - Background Vocals

Lyrics
What on earth is going on When there’s people killing and dramas filling up our lives Don’t we know that wars aren’t won Still we stick our flag in, just like stabbing with a knife Are we blind to the world today Things have always just been o.k. Can’t we stop running away From mistakes we’re making It’s time we opened up our eyes Refrain Why don’t we lay our guns away Make a change for the better Don’t go waste a single day Life’s what you make it so they say So don’t let ignorance lead your mind astray Can’t we tell right from wrong This boat is sinking, cause we’ve stopped thinking with our minds Keep on singing this old song Gaining power hour by hour till we find That we were blind to the world today Things have never just been o.k. There’s no more running away From mistakes we’re making It’s time we opened up our eyes Refrain
