Give me your worries Give me your sadness And let me step inside Your head (What’s in your head?) It’s been a while And you’re undecided And I don’t what else to say (Don’t fade away) Even if time isn’t moving fast I’ll wait to have you by my side (Cause we have the right connection) You give me life You make me higher than high I can’t forget that But I don’t wanna keep loving undecided Everything is so brand new but I don’t wanna feel so overexcited If I’m not gonna see you soon, no Give me a call, you know I’m waiting I’ll be there day and night (To hear you say) Give me your fears and bury the past Can’t you see you’re made of glass (Tired of the games that you play) And if the skies are grey now I’m gonna cover you in light We can chase the clouds and dance in the rain Yeah, yeah But I don’t wanna keep loving undecided Everything is so brand new but I don’t wanna feel so overexcited If I’m not gonna see you soon, no I don’t wanna keep wondering if you love me Cause all I really want is you but I don’t wanna feel so overexcited If I’m not gonna see you soon, no I’m gonna need some patience I don’t wanna lose you When can we be together? You know that I choose you Don’t wanna lose you When can we be together? It’s taking too long Don’t wanna lose you When can we be together? It’s just too long And I don’t wanna keep loving undecided Why is it that you’re so undecided? This is too deep Woah, Have you decided All I really want is you I don’t wanna feel like this I don’t wanna feel so overexcited No, no, no, I don’t wanna feel this I don’t wanna keep wondering if you love me Tell me what you feel right now I don’t wanna feel so overexcited I don’t wanna feel like this

Look into her eyes And try to realign When you don’t wanna feel sad Can’t fight the tide You can’t keep doubting All your life So just become alive (Find the fire, get ignited) Uuuuuh she makes you feel brand new You must have done something right Give her your love Enjoy a nice day You both deserve to shine so bright Nothing is gonna make you happier Took time to meet somebody Don’t you agree? So give her your love Open your heart Despite the heartache So when you’re all alone Nobody there at home Remember when you said no more (You see her and you light up) Just wanna feel something Just like you’re seventeen Don’t need to over think it girl She makes you feel brand new You must have done something right Give her your love Enjoy a nice day You both deserve to shine so bright Nothing is gonna make you happier Took time to meet somebody Don’t you agree? So give her your love Open your heart Despite the heartache When you get together Nothing really matters, no You were on your own and you were a bit lost Now she has become your world Open your heart Yeah She makes you feel brand new Yeah Give her your love Enjoy a nice day You both deserve to shine so bright Nothing is gonna make you happier Took time to meet somebody Don’t you agree? So give her your love Open your heart Despite the heartache Open your heart And simply love her

I didn’t think it’d happen I know I can’t complain Love is all I wanted But not this way This remote romancing Is so hard to maintain Falling for a stranger Miles away All I know is you’re always on my mind Tell me what to do, what to do, what to do With this love Cause I’ve got nowhere else to hide I’ve got Nowhere else to run So tell me what to do, what to do, what to do With my heart Cause I am just falling apart (baby) Without you by my side This complicated madness Is driving me insane I’m drowning in my silence I can’t live this way All I know is you’re always on my mind Tell me what to do, what to do, what to do With this love Cause I’ve got nowhere else to hide I’ve got Nowhere else to run So tell me what to do, what to do, what to do With my heart Cause I am just falling apart (baby) Without you by my side So what is it you wanna do? Can we just pretend this is all true? And we’ve actually met And it all works out The way it’s supposed to? And it’s like Real life And we feel like we touch the sky And you’re mine Tell me what to do, what to do, what to do With this love Cause I’ve got nowhere else to hide I’ve got Nowhere else to run So tell me what to do, what to do, what to do With my heart Cause I am just falling apart (baby) Without you by my side

Didn’t want to, But you got me upside down A distant bond, Your love has got me tied up I can’t let go And I feel my heart is beating fast Been waiting for this moment All my life Will you meet me at the airport when I land? We will never know If we never try Can’t deny it’s an unusual circumstance Oh why, has life kept us so far? A weird circumstance We will never know If we never try Makes me nervous But I wanna take a chance Oh what a weird circumstance To be so far apart I’ve been dreaming Of your fingers on my skin A second’s touch That stayed with me for ever I can’t let go And I feel my heart is beating fast Been waiting for this moment All my life Will you meet me at the airport when I land? We will never know If we never try Can’t deny it’s an unusual circumstance Oh why, has life kept us so far? A weird circumstance We will never know If we never try Makes me nervous But I wanna take a chance Oh what a weird circumstance To be so far apart A new world undiscovered I know we can’t define it Just accept what is to come We will never know If we never try Can’t deny it’s an unusual circumstance Oh why, has life kept us so far? A weird circumstance We will never know If we never try Makes me nervous But I wanna take a chance Oh what a weird circumstance To be so far apart

It was April It was raining Saw you on a screen for the first time And I liked you Think I fell in love with the way you smiled My heart did become yours Somewhere along the line You said You can’t decide But I don’t mind I’ll wait sometime If you could know how I feel now Been waiting for a long time Our hearts would melt and beat like one And you would just be mine Cause your tender love Is all I need in my life right now Then the world would understand We weren’t mad In the middle of nowhere I found my place You know nothing can change if you just stay the same And I wonder If the time is right Or is it better to wait and find another light I wish I could be there But I'm so far away Yeah some people could say you’re not the right one But you live in my mind just like a new song Yeah some people could say it’s hard to pull off But I have heard that for so long If you could know how I feel now Been waiting for a long time Our hearts would melt and beat like one And you would just be mine Cause your tender love Is all I need in my life right now Then the world would understand We weren’t mad Give me all your love Give me all your loving Tonight Baby don’t say no Cause I don’t wanna lose you now

You know that I’m broken hearted But you still wanna try Can’t remember what it’s like To love someone I think that we shouldn’t start it I don’t wanna bring you down You never Put your love on the line Wish that you could just put out the fire I’m feeling inside of my heart I just cannot ignore the desire That I’ve got building up You don't know how love can be But it came in at the right time We shouldn't fight it, I have no doubt I can't deny my feelings are real yeah Wish that you could just put out the fire I’m feeling inside of my heart I just cannot ignore the desire That I’ve got building up Why is it so hard to love Why is it so hard to find Someone we can share our life with? I think I can’t live without your love…. Wish that you could just put out the fire I’m feeling inside of my heart I just cannot ignore the desire That I’ve got building up

I was by myself And I felt lonely I felt lonely Til now We’re very different, you are Someone who doesn’t want to break But I can’t argue with fate I wish you wanted me, I wish that you could understand That I can ease your pain And I know it’s such a long shot We can try this or not You can think that this is insane But I know that I want you And I want you to stay You make me feel Like I am more myself Like I am whole again And I know if it’s a bad day I’ll try to make you heal And help you find your strength I’m almost someone else With you I know I can try it And everything makes sense We’re a million miles apart And I just can’t forgive myself I hurt you so bad And everything that we said Maybe it was for the best Maybe I’m going insane I know that I want you So I’m coming back You make me feel Like I am more myself Like I am whole again And I know if it’s a bad day I’ll try and make you heal And help you find your strength I’m almost someone else With you I know I can try it And everything makes sense Everything makes sense Everything makes sense We’re a million miles apart And I just can’t forgive myself You make me feel Like I am more myself Like I am whole again With you I know I can try it And everything makes sense

Tell me a hopeful lie (why?) Cause I don’t wanna be innocent (yeah, right) Can you see desire in my eyes? (yes I can) Think I can feel you now (how?) Distance is always known to deepen the surprise I‘ll get there like the speed of light (Come and stay by my side) You and me all night You bring Instant sunshine to my life Just fantasize cause Words can’t describe us Maybe you can love me one more night Loved all the time we had (yeah) I knew it from the start That you were gonna be the one I‘ll get there like the speed of light (Come and stay by my side) You and me all night You bring Instant sunshine to my life Just fantasize cause Words can’t describe us (oh no) You and me all night You bring Instant sunshine to my life Just fantasize cause Words can’t describe us Maybe you can love me one more night All these hours, all these months Wanting for us to collide I can’t wait another day You wait for me cause I’m on my way I’ll admit you’re on my mind But our love’s still undefined And I just keep counting time like 1, 2, 3, hey You and me all night (oh yeah) You bring Instant sunshine to my life Just fantasize cause Words can’t describe us (oh no) No words can describe us You and me all night (oh yeah) You bring Instant sunshine to my life Just fantasize cause Words can’t describe us Maybe you can love me one more night

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Though I realise It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you Make you feel so small But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow Show me a smile then Don't be unhappy, can't remember When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow True Colors True Colors True Colors True Colors

Unpredictable An earthquake that knocks you to the ground Her heart is just something you can’t have But you never know Irresistible Drowning in her eyes all through the night Why is it you always want the things you have to let go? Hey, you gotta move on Why don’t you fall in love now with someone you know? You really should be living close to the person you want Stop wasting any time and stop being alone Yes, I know what you’ve done You think you are in love with someone on the phone But it is only an illusion, there’s nothing to hold You’re practically two strangers in two different worlds Oh no Life keeps going on But you can’t escape although you try She keeps pushing you over the line But you can’t let go You can’t let go Hey, you gotta move on Why don’t you fall in love now with someone you know? You really should be living close to the person you want Stop wasting any time and stop being alone Yes, I know what you’ve done You think you are in love with someone on the phone But it is only an illusion, there’s nothing to hold You’re practically two strangers in two different worlds You still want her but Is it really love? Can you truly know her When you are worlds apart? You’re a dreamer, but How can it be love? Will you risk it all to just Be right by her side? Hey, you gotta move on (You gotta gotta move on) Why don’t you fall in love now with someone you know? You really should be living close to the person you want Stop wasting any time and stop being alone Yes, I know what you’ve done You think you are in love with someone on the phone But it is only an illusion, there’s nothing to hold You’re practically two strangers in two different worlds

about

After the success of her second studio album Circumstance and Circumstance (The Remixes), the Argentinean Retrowave songstress and producer LAU is back with Circumstance (Take Two), this time re-imagining her sophomore album with a fantastic group of international guest artists. Each vocalist re-wrote a part of the song, giving the whole album new life, and a brand new spin.

This album also includes the exclusive track “Two Strangers” (produced by Brian Skeel), which wasn’t included in the first take of album.

LAU felt that there was more to this story, so she’s invited Minute Taker (UK), I Am Boleyn (UK), The Lightning Kids (UK), Heartracer (USA), Pensacola Mist (UK), Lessus (Spain), Natalie Gray (UK), Alessandra Boldrini (Italy), Airport 366 (Switzerland) and Kidburn (Italy) to take on this new challenge.

The result is a fantastic new take on Circumstance, consisting of eleven Synthpop / Retrowave/ Nu Disco tracks as originally produced by Brian Skeel (USA), Zak Vortex (UK), Ends 84 (France), Saint Innocent (France), Popcorn Kid (India), Adam Siana (Sweden) and TAKTA (Norway).

Even LAU’s popular cover version of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” got a new twist, with the fantastic Minute Taker as a guest vocalist.
