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
I. Open my eyes and I count to three Hallo hangover what a night has come to follow me Look in the mirror, what a sight I see This man needs shaving but he can’t be me Bridge. How many times have I sworn not to go to extremes? It seems the only thing that helps is this old six-string Refrain. ‘Cause it keeps clearing my head when I’m in a haze Clearing my head when I’m in a maze Clearing my head when I’m in a maze again II. Pick up the phone and I start to smile Tell her I love her and we talk for a while Say something stupid, she hangs up on me I bit my lip, make a cup of tee Bridge. Refrain. III. Seemed to be running from A-Z Was chasing nothings but I didn’t see Thought I was flying, then I hit the ground I was so frightened by the truths I found Bridge. Refrain. B- Every time I’m skipping my mind I get myself in a situation Feeling just fine then I drop a line Again I’m the cause for agitation Go to extremes in various means Trying to find the right solution Help isn’t far, just play this guitar And away goes the confusion Refrain
