Landscape 07:46
In a beautiful landscape I open my eyes I see u dancing in the melting sky I would like to touch ur side but I`m too busy spending my time I want ur eyes on mine I want to see u I want to see u dance I want to see u smile
2.
Glory 04:51
Today I saw morning glory I saw smiling faces, too I saw children playing fairy I saw dogs chasing dogs So if u don`t come back I´m gonna be ok Today I tasted sweet cherry I drank coffee I saw the news I saw a couple that was about to get married I saw an old lady underground So if u don` t come back I´m gonna be ok And it feels so good It feels so good it feels good

Sundays I miss u the most sundays u hang around like a ghost u pop up in the middle of the afternoon U dish out my memories as if I had nothing else to do I stretch the coast I look at the horizon I breathe in through the nose and wait until ur ship changed coast Somedays I can`t get out of bed I wake up with the memoriy of ur head and that´s just half the good news `cause u stay up late u`re always in time for my late night show`s debate No way! U won`t get my kiss No way! u won`t get my I already put on a new record and u` re not in the movie that I came here for
4.
Groove 05:10
Do u remember the words that were spoken Do u remember my voice in ur head Is there a seat for me in ur memory tv show? Is there a missing link on ur profile page? I wannna move I wanna groove I move on! I`m dancing in my footsteps, that`s the place I belong! I wanna move I wanna groove I move on! Do u remember the grab of my hips Do u remember the taste f my lips Do u keep a message in ur mobile phone? Will u keep trace of me, do u smel me when u`re home? How do u feel late at night with emptiness around? How do u feel in the morning without that familiar sound? Will we soon forget and keep the memory still? I wish I had a reset button or at least a wishing well!
5.
Gold 07:20
I know it does feel muddy U want to beat the street But what about ur heartbeat? Do u feel in between? I know ur dreams seem as far away as distant stars But they don`t give up on u U are always right there where u are There`s nothing wrong with taking the good advice Nothing wrong with reaching out ur hands for high five What is it with independence that u can`t be loved? What is it with u and golden love? Maybe that Lady was right when she said lighten up There`s always something happening How can u not be loved? What was it with golden love, baby? What is it with ur golden love?
6.
Island 04:54
nobody knows ur way home everybody stumbles over the same stone and the women in the shopping mall grow old and cold it doesn`t matter if u sell cookies or leather if u´`re a star or a newborn big or small shy or tall nobody takes u home nobody takes off ur shoes nobody carries u to bed and lies u down be there an island for urself be there and be good to urself nobody tells u what to do everybody`s sitting over their own food and there`s no sign on no wall it doesn`t matter if it`s a good or bad weather rain or shine urs or mine
7.
Spring 03:38
something tells me everything`s gonna be alright turn my head to the sun dance in front of the light like an umbrella u spread ur charme like under an umbrella I`m safe from harm I look up to the ceiling and I see only water I look up to ur face and love has grown u bring spring u bring sun I`m not sure if this is right what do the statistics say? I`m not sure if this is ok I`m in heaven everyday how can I make it right? I haven`t learned it on the way How can take advice if I don`t know what they say?
8.
Diamond 04:06
take a moment or two go where the pretty girls go u can take a nap in the sunshine or just run and hide I know u`re gonna find some peace of mind I know u´re gonna find u r worth more than a diamond u can call a friend if u want to go to the movies u can buy some ice cream or just watch tv U r worth more than a diamond worth more than a star go get some morning papers u`re gonna b a star just because he took his love from u does not mean u take ur love from u, too Even though ur soul feels shattered doesn`t mean it`s gonna b an ice cube take a moment or two go where the pretty girls go U can go and get some new haircut or just let it grow
9.
Lucky 07:32
I don`t want to steal u I just want to feel u I can`t believe that this is happening to me When u` re gone I miss u I know u`re not the one because u belong to another I know u`re not the one because u`re sleeping with her I know u`re not the one because u really, really love her lucky me lucky her How come u are so handsome? Is that even allowed? I just need to spend some more time with u and ur presence I`m not gonna figure it out How come I want u this much? I mentioned it before I`m gonna drop the cup it`s too hot I better get down on the floor because this is not working everybody can tell u don`t want to know what I`ve been dreaming about u don`t want to buy things u cannot sell

released March 26, 2011

Kleines Mädchen zupft leise, verträumte Melodien auf der Akustische und singt mit zarter Stimme über Glück und Frieden, die kleinen und die großen Sorgen, über Gott und die Welt, über Mutter Natur und dem Leben im Allgemeinen, dem Paradies in der Hand. Singer-Songwriter und Folk. Es gibt so viele singende kleine und große Mädchen wie Esther Quade aus Berlin. Nun ist es aber so, das mir Ihr Album “Stretch the Coast” besonders gut gefällt. Wegen dem Licht, der Sonne, dem imaginären Strand, den Songs. Den Düften um uns herum, der frischen Brise, der Stille, dem Tag und der Nacht.
(Schallgrenzen)

Zu den ersten, die mir über dieses Portal geschrieben haben, gehört diese fantastische Musikern Esther-Maria Quade. Tolle Gitarrenmusik mit einer gefühlvollen Stimme, die süchtig macht und träumerisch den Hörer nach wenigen Liedern in Stille zurück lässt
(der Impuls)

Irgendwie zerbrechlich wirkt Esther Quade auf der Bühne. Aber nur im ersten Moment. Scheinbar beiläufig zupft sie auf der elektrischen Gitarre einige Akkorde. Und genauso beiläufig beginnt sie, mit ihrem Spiel das Publikum in ihren Bann zu ziehen. Immerhin 500 Songs hat die 30-Jährige mittlerweile geschrieben. Beeinflusst wurde die Songschreiberin, die schon als Kind einen Literaturwettbewerb gewann und im Kirchenchor sang, unter anderem von Prince, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Nick Cave, Björk, Tori Amos und Ani Di Franco.

2001 kam Esther Quade für eine Tanzausbildung nach Berlin und begann in Bars und Clubs aufzutreten. Auf ihrem neuen Album „Stretch the Coast“ singt sie „poetische Popsongs“, in denen sich viel um Liebe, Gefühle und Zwischenmenschliches dreht. Text und Ton haben etwas Traumhaftes. Ihre Stimme ist zart verträumt und besitzt gleichzeitig kraftvolle Tiefe. Schon als Jugendliche gab sie Konzerte. Damals verkaufte sie ihre Musik auf selbstbespielten Kassetten. Heute hat sie ein eigenes Label: „Lucky Army Records“. „Stretch the Coast“ ist bereits Esther Quades viertes Album, aber das erste im Studio produzierte.

Für die Künstlerin und begeisterte Fotografin ist ihre Musik eine Landschaft, die sich durch mit Stimme und Text eingefügte „Pinselstriche“ ständig verändert. Weil sie an Songs, die sie nicht mehr umarbeiten kann, schnell das Interesse verliert, hat Quade versucht, in Improvisation entstandene Momentaufnahmen auf das Album zu übertragen. Eine Art Puzzlespiel, das sich auf wundersame Weise zu einem vielschichtigen Soundteppich zusammenfügt.

Mit „Stretch the Coast“ will Esther Quade „den Strand ausdehnen“ und Raum schaffen. Einen Platz im Kopf und Herzen finden, wo Probleme ihre Macht verlieren. Manchmal weht am Meer der Sängerin eine sanfte Brise, manchmal tobt ein heftiger Sturm. Es geht um die Suche neuer Perspektiven, aber auch darum, einmal tief durchzuatmen. Ein Strandspaziergang, der sich lohnt.
