ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Like all the others (2x)
Like all the others
You stood on the edge
Like all others
You fell down
Like all the others
Doubtful and dreaming
Like all others
You want more
The lights they flicker distantly
My heart is like a stone in my empty hands
Are you seeking, just as I am
Fumbling in the darkness outside
Like all the others
Fight or flight
Like all others
A lone island
Like all the others
You could sink to the bottom
Like all others
Want to escape
The lights they flicker distantly
My heart is like a stone in my empty hands
Are you seeking, just as I am
Fumbling in the darkness outside
Like soil hoping for the rain
I’m longing for place and community
But walls will need to fall down
So dreams could be freed for both of us
Like all the others
In the middle of a crowd
Like all others
The shadow is hidden
Like all the others
You keep your distance
Like all others
You are judged
Like all the others (4x)

about
Despite its lighthearted melody and upbeat rhythm, “All Andra” (All the Others) addresses a serious theme: the struggle with fatigue and a longing for community. Buoyed by a lilting African-inspired guitar riff and tight vocal harmonies, Kolonien sings, “Like soil hoping for the rain / I’m longing for place and community / But walls will need to fall down / So dreams could be freed for both of us.”
The colorful music video that accompanies the song might remind listeners of a certain age of the opening credits for The Brady Bunch, but despite their inspirations from the past, Kolonien is an exciting, forward looking band whose sound will appeal to fans of Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes, Of Monsters & Men and others that blend folk traditions with contemporary pop.
