He actually succumbed to his addiction and every moment without it he feels cold and alone. HE is stoned and he shouldn't talk about how great it is. Now I propose two possible interpretations: First the dark one The author metaphorically sings about the stuff he craves. Song MeaningAll of this can very well be about drug addiction. That is just my interpretation but it is exactly what I went through with my ex and he felt the same way. (Can't find his way out of the depression without her) (Suspense is killing him hoping she will come back because their relationship has been back and forth but they always got back together. (the "honeymoon" is over, they are back to reality and she has drifted away completely because of the confusion and pain family and friends put her through) (It's so amazing they just feel completely lost and stoned in the paradise they are in when it is just them) (they don't talk about all the troubles they are having) (They get away or remember back to a time where it was just them, no outside influence from anybody else and they danced like they had never danced before and were just completely and entirely happy being just the two of them) (They have spent more and more time apart because of her friends and family pulling her away) (He knows she is a strong individual and her love for him is strong so he is hoping her heart is tough enough to withstand the criticism) (Family or friends have become unforgiving at things he has done or put her through and she is drifting because of the turmoil they put her under bc of being with him) (they have been drifting apart and he wants her back by his side bc the loneliness is terrible.) General CommentI may be biased since this situation happened to me, but it seems as if it's about a love that has drifted apart. Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
We can sing about what feels sad or heavy but in a very happy environment of music.But now they've brought you away from here It allows us to express what we feel and that is what we do in our music, too. Making music makes us so happy and it’s a safe space of being, and being free. There’s not one way, but both make life beautiful and it only goes together. What about that approach appeals to you?ĬR: I think it resembles the natural way of life to us being contrasted of happiness and sadness. But it turned out to be a nice memory piece and in fact built up a demand that is also very pleasing and sweet, as well as a reminder of how blessed we are doing this for over 7 years now.ĪR: There is a bouncy feel to the music that is contrasted by some of the anguish of the lyrics. I think in France if I remember right.ĪR: What made you feel the timing was right to give it a proper release after it had been a fan favorite for so long?ĬR: Well, we had some issues to solve regarding contracts from the past, and it took us longer than we would have wished. Rehbein, who is joined by Philipp Dausch in the duo, spoke via e-mail with American Songwriter about “Unknown Song,” which doesn’t seem likely to remain anonymous for long.Īmerican Songwriter: What was the spark for “Unknown Song” in terms of the writing?Ĭlemens Rehbein: That one actually came alive through a soundcheck jam on tour. Guest vocalist Paulina Eisenberg supports the group’s lead singer Clemens Rehbein on the track. The finished product, “Unknown Song,” is finally getting a proper release and has all the makings of another unorthodox yet catchy classic from the pair. Their latest single actually goes back a bit to a track that they first concocted as a demo. The German duo Milky Chance has been dropping eclectic musical nuggets on their fans for the last decade or so, with the 2013 hit “Stolen Dance” being just the icebreaker for their run of success.
