Hello? Hello? Hi... who are you? I am you. How can you be me? I am the only one here. That's not true. I have always been here with you. We are one person. Then how come I have never noticed you? That's because you kept pushing me away. You haven't been very nice to me. Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't realise that. You don't have to apologise. I'm not angry at you. Why are you not angry? I would definitely be angry in your case. I have no time for anger. I have only one purpose. When that purpose is fulfilled, we will go to a much more beautiful place. Why would I want to leave this place? You scare me. I like it here, I don't want to go anywhere else. Not yet, I know... Once you see the place though, I guarantee, you are not going to be scared any more. You will even feel excited to go there with me and you will never want to come back here. No, I will not. I told you that I like it here. You just want to manipulate me. No wonder, I kept pushing you away. You're very mean. Do you want me to leave you alone? No, you can stay. Just don't tell me what to do, I can take my own decisions! OK, I will just be sitting here quietly then. Now you're annoying me. You can talk of course. I have nothing else to say. I told you I have only one purpose. But you said you want to take me away from here. Why would you do that? That's not nice! I was very much like you. Do you think you're better than me? No, I just want to help you to become free too. But how do we get there? Can't you see the walls around me? Hello... If I promise you that we will come back here, would you go with me just visiting the place? Hmm... maybe. If I'm not too busy and not too tired or too angry or too happy or too... And when is that? I don't know. Maybe never... Then, why do you like it here so much, if you are never free to do anything fun? Because it's me. It's my place. Everything here belongs to me. Do you think you are better than me? How come you are so free? I was very much like you. Do you think you're better than me? No, I just want to help you to become free too. But how do we get there? Can't you see the walls around me? I see them and I also don't see them. You have to practice not seeing them. Only if you don't see them, you can pass through them.

Rush Life 05:09
Is this unreal? All this confusion... Why is it so? Tell me! We don't really see. So what haven't we seen? Can you show me? We're going down, then we go up. Just up and down again. Is there no more? What did we miss? Is this all that we will meet in this life? Is there something we miss because we have too much confusion, illusion? Why am I convinced that there is more than I can see? What exactly is it that I'm chasing all the time?

Freedomania 13:58
I keep wearing shoes although they might have no use. That's what they want me to do before they show me the menu. They'll make me bend. I've got to find some time to take my life into my own hands. My only chance is to depend on my own strength. I do as they say or else I will get no pay. No one should tell me I'm free. That's what they want to believe. They'll make me bend. I've got to find some time to take my life into my own hands. My only chance is to depend on my own strength.

Good Enough 05:31
See me now, I have stopped following you. Ask me “How do you do without me?” I'm complete, on my own feet. Good enough to get along. I don't need your song. You will never even see anything if you never show your face. Never is not good enough. Hear me now! I'm as fragile as before. Balancing on a thin rope with a smile. I have learned to lick my wounds unlike you who thinks it's fine to live in a shell. You will never even see anything if you never want to show your face. Never is not good enough. Hear me now!

Are you a puppet in a shadow play? When the lights go out you cannot find your way. Can you tell me your master's name? So nobody told you that this is just a game? You better learn to truly listen, leave your thoughts behind and just listen! Maybe you were chasing a dream. Or maybe the dream was really chasing you. There is nothing to chase and nothing to lose. When you watch your dreams they let you choose. You better learn to truly listen, leave your thoughts behind and just listen. You better work on readjusting the lens you look through.

Sofia 03:59
Once again I feel that I'm part of a story. My old friends, for real. Look at the love we're sharing. When we leave behind what we know, we can come, we can go. When we see that we're more than we know, we can laugh, we can dance, we can like what we hate. Once again, let go of personal limits. Welcoming a view of open spaces. When we leave behind what we know, we can come, we can go. When we see that we're more than we know, we can laugh, we can dance, we can love Sofia. Rising of new possibilities, of new solutions. Once again, goodbye. It was nice to see you. We remember the dance and the stories you told us. When we leave behind what we know, we can come, we can go. When we see that we're more than we know, we can laugh, we can dance, we can like what we hate.

We are working for the apocalypse. For everything to collapse. Crushing all burdens. Inducing sweet oblivion. A shining golden valley in the ruins of a steampunk city. Just one moment is enough to see the light consuming all your demons. I'm a child of the apocalypse. See the ruins of my ancestors. The monsters kept calling. Nobody could escape to the shining golden valley in the ruins of a steampunk city. Just one moment is enough to see the light consuming all your demons. It's an internal battle between the forces of darkness and light. You, yes you are the only hope. Only you have access to the source, oh great warrior. There is no time for weakness now, there is no time to be afraid. Feel the glory of internal victory. Feel the glory of internal victory.

about

Hachoo Luxembourg

Hachoo evolved from 3 sessions at a bar in 2017-2018, during which Gilles Noesen tried out new compositions with local musicians and friends. He then revisited the most promising pieces and took the newly-formed band to a studio in 2018. Out comes Hachoo's „On a thin
rope with a shaky smile“ including a
colourful set of 8 original compositions, featuring various jazz and classical musicians.
