about

The Key (Ellesgaard / Nentwich 2009) was written on the Danish island Samsøe during my first co-writing retreat. Claudia Nentwich (vocals / guitar), Christian Wallert (lead guitar) and Lisa Schroeder (backing vocals).

"The Key", a sparsely, eloquently arranged melancholic folk song featuring dynamic songwriting and haunting vocal delivery is unmistakably a standout on her "Lost Country" compilation. Abe Perlstein, radio producer & host, Tuesday Lunch With Abe radio series, Morro Bay, CA

lyrics

The Key
(Ellesgaard/Nentwich 2009)

Here´s a story I want to tell
Of a man living in a cage
He tried to fly but he was caught
In his golden age

All my life I ran away
The fear burns deep in me
I tried my best to hurt the rest
But I only cheat on me

Take my leather, take my gold
I am aching to break free
Don´t want to be what I was told
But I can´t find the key

Walls so high I cannot breathe
But I still smell the sea
Once again I want to feel
My mother´s hand on me

Take my leather, take my gold
I am aching to break free
Don´t want to be what I was told
But I can´t find the key

Take my leather, take my gold
I am aching to break free
Don´t want to be what I was told
But one day I will find the key
Don´t want to be what I was told
But one day I will find the key
