    "Lightcap nimmt uns mit auf seine Reisen und man spürt wirklich in jedem Moment des Albums, wie wichtig ihm das Thema ist und wie gern er Bilder in unseren Köpfen zum Leben erwecken möchte. Das gelingt ihm und so fühlen wir uns sehr wohl in seinen melancholischen Folk-Klängen." Soundkartell Review

    Down in Portugal ist die zweite LP von Lightcap (2018 erschien Be True To Your Heart (LP); 2016 Companion(EP)).

    Das Album wurde in fünf Studios (Frankfurt a.M., Den Haag, Weimar, Naumburg, Halle) mit Musikern aus sechs Ländern (Spanien, Niederlande, Deutschland, Rumänien, Litauen, Südkorea) aufgenommen.

about

Sweet Marie tells a secret love story between dreams, reality and history.

lyrics

Late by nighttime we shall meet at your place
Just as sacred as the holy garden gates

You turned me on
Then you turned away
Showed up with your feathered hair
Your shadowy eyes
That brilliant disguise
That we wear

You told me you were a queen from the sea
I told you so many different kinds of things

About stormy weather
And ships coming in
Sailors praying and blue angels sin
That striped tattered shirt
Resembling a skirt
Over your knee

Oh Marie sweet Marie
How could I not see
How they took you away
Finally made you believe
That we could not be saved

I’m no different than you told me to be
I’m no different than the other worker bee

I was always a gathering of dust
You were always an object of lust
Maybe there’s more
Than that flattering score
But hey we’ll see

Oh Marie sweet Marie
How could I not see
How they took you away
Finally made you believe
That we could not be saved
