Der Wind bläst die Blätter ins Haus Ich stehe am Herd und koch uns was In meinem Nacken spüre ich ein' kalten Hauch Du bist nicht hier, also was war das? Im Keller höre ich Kinderstimmen Wie kann das sein, sie gehör'n hier nicht her Wer weiß, welche düsteren Sachen sie machen Ich bin nicht verückt, doch hör ich ihr Lachen Sag mal, hast du das auch gesehen There must be ghosts in our house Was hier für seltsame Dinge geschehen There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house Es war ein wunderschöner Tag Die Sonne kam bei uns vorbei Wir waren verliebt und so befreit Wir sitzen im Haus und geniessen die Zeit Die Spieluhr fängt zu spielen an Ein Stofftier 17 Jahre alt Neben dem Bild von meinem Sohn Keiner von uns hat sie angedreht Wart mal, hast du das auch gehört There must be ghosts in our house Wer hat hier die Geister beschwört There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house ------------------------------------------- TRANSLATION: The wind blows the leaves into the house I stand at the stove and cook us something On the back of my neck I feel a cold breeze You're not here, so what was that? In the cellar I hear children's voices How can it be, they don't belong here. Who knows what dark things they do I'm not crazy, but I can hear them laughing. Tell me, have you seen this too? There must be ghosts in our house The strange things that happen here There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house It was a beautiful day The sun came by our house We were in love and so free We're siting in the house enjoying the time The music box starts to play A stuffed animal 17 years old Next to the picture of my son Neither of us turned it on Wait a minute, did you hear that? There must be ghosts in our house Who conjured the ghosts here There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house There is a ghost in our house

about

This is our second album together as a duo. We cranked out the first album "RooM2A1" within 8 weeks of getting the idea that we could make a band at age 50. It was a creative explosion that is still awesome to listen to, but for this one we spent two very relaxed years in the writing process. We think we delivered a well thought out, meaningful album that hits hard, goes soft, and everything else in between.

The lyrics are in English and German. For German-only songs we offer an English translation. Just click "Lyrics" next to songs while you listen.

Wolfden is:
Tim Lippert - Lead and backing Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums
Silke Lippert - Lead and backing Vocals

Special thanks:
Tim Suske for a job well done on the mixing board, Stefan Tietzlaff for making Bagpipes look so easy, Harry Steen for picking up your guitar for us after a 20 year break, Stevie Baker for the incredible artwork and patience! You are all heavily appreciated, and last but not least, Stefan Wilheim for all the good tips you gave during the writing process.

Wolfden image

Wolfden Merzig, Germany

We are bound together in this band by book worthy life stories. Me, a war veteran who lived on the street met her, a rebellious DDR escapee, (before the fall of the Berlin wall) at a concrete factory in southern Germany. Two rocks met at a very hard place. 20 years later we got stuck together due to the lockdown and decided to do Punk. We have both led and survived the definition of Punk life. ... more
