Sven Humm - Run The Risk Of Winning (Lyrics) I know a lot of people that smile in my face, But talk behind my back, every time (that) I'm gone. From friends to strangers in less than a second. Like flashing lights had me stuck like a reindeer. You opened my eyes - finally I can see straight. So when they call my phone I don't even pick up. I don't owe you shit so leave me alone. And as seasons change I must admit - old friends I no longer have. I shed no tear, I hold my joy, but I will show my pride, cause music saved my life. I'm doing right and you gonna be left behind. And in the end you are the reason why I'm gonna be famous. So shut (the fuck) up and look at me. I'm stronger than I could ever be...

Sven Humm -- "Things One Shouldn't Know" [Official Lyrics] Verse I: I still remember the darkest hour, you came along and gave me power. You're more than a good friend to me, saved my life and kept up my dreams. After months we still stay in touch, for all of that I thank you so much. We separated, I changed my mind, I regonized that I was blind. Chorus: In the darkest hour, you gave me power (x2). Verse II: I went away in times of pain, started smiling when I heard your name. There's a hole inside my heart, seems like I wasn't that smart. A hidden sadness going round, I showed you the best in town. Then came up months where we lived so slow, just can't believe I let you go. Chorus: In the darkest hour, you gave me power (x2). Verse III: You held my hand when I wanted to die, then I collapsed and started to cry. No one's ever been that close to me, problems killing, yeah they're killing me. There have been things one shouldn't know, I've told you all, I feel comfortable. What I'm saying comes from my soul, don't let me go, I need you so. Chorus: In the darkest hour, you gave me power (x2). Solo

Melanie 02:43
Melanie [Official Lyrics]: Verse I: Melanie, Oh, Melanie, someone that I used to see, You walked right in, destroyed my dreams, weren't nice, as it seemed Melanie, Oh, Melanie, you little bitch I didn't see. Made me wait, don't disagree, didn't start a family. Chorus: It bloody sucked, quite easily, There's no room for sympathy Pre-Chorus: Melanie, Oh, Melanie Verse II: Melanie, Oh, Melanie, a picture in the gallery, So different than it meant to be, frustrating me so awfully Melanie, Oh, Melanie, a little girl, no lucid dream You put me there, a waiting scene, didn't have no discipline. Chorus: It bloody sucked, quite easily, There's no room for sympathy Solo:

Stay With Me 04:37
Sven Humm - Stay Withe Me [Official Lyrics], Verse I: You and me, are meant to be. To live a life in harmony. Reality as we both see, changed things round quite easily. Paying bills, we have less thrills, so much to do, so much to lose. Having our son, was so much fun, these times long gone, wish I was strong. Chorus: Stay with me, you gotta stay with me, stay with me. It's plain to see, you gotta stay with me, stay with me. X2 Verse II: I know it hurts, it's hard to change, what I've become, in the pouring rain. My love still burns, still with desire, appointments are – weakening the fire. But I'll be there, no matter where, I am not leaving, your heart is bleeding. You're always true, I'm stuck* with you, rising my guards, cuz it's so hard. Chorus: Stay with me, you gotta stay with me, stay with me. It's plain to see, you gotta stay with me, stay with me. X2 Verse III: Out on the road, it's getting late, on the way home, not with my mates. When I arrived, you were asleep, problems still there, more than knee-deep. But the our son, my favorite one, starts to weep, don't wanna sleep. I'm quick to start, but in my heart, weight is so heavy, affecting me. Chorus: Stay with me, you gotta stay with me, stay with me. It's plain to see, you gotta stay with me, stay with me. X2 Solo:

Official Lyrics for What Goes Around Comes Back Around: Verse I: In these times where you live so slow, no one knows where they got to go, many others tend to show, issues i don't want to know. TV's airing casting shows, makes me think „I've been here before“. Restless celebs on a jungle show, models on the screen next door. Chorus: What goes around comes back around x2 Verse II: Yellow press adds an afterglow, I can't stand this stuff no more. Bad music from someone's phone, little hipster please leave me alone. Let it go, moving somewhere else, Needing someone who understands. Sipping whiskey with my best friends, surely no one recommends. Chorus: What goes around comes back around x2 Verse III: Youngsters drinking beer pop at a bar, - too young and they look bizarre. Johnny, how'd it come so far? Times are changing, yes they are. All I do is to resist, don't cry for what I've missed. Hope for better days to come, Maybe it has already begun.... Chorus: What goes around comes back around x2 Solo:

Great White North [Official Lyrics]: Verse I: So he left the house, then he took a plane They said he must been insane. But he didn't care, it was no mood planned it for long, and he felt good. Gone in a flash as he flipped the keys. Not crying, didn't fall to his knees. It was more than right, he said to himself, As he placed the suitcase on the shelf. His mind was racing, time elapsing He fell asleep, I forgot to mention. All his friends saw it coming, but none of them stopped him from running. So hours later, as the plane landed, he didn't feel as if he was stranded. No, to him it was a relief He has his own beliefs. Under pressure no more, his headaches were gone, Smiling so bright as he sung his song: Chorus: „ Canada, I made it, my past was so frustrating, Now I'm here, everything is fine, I thought I'd lose my mind“.

How It Should Be [Official Lyrics]: Verse: Sitting- there on a - couch With you - in front - of me Dreaming– and luck's by - my side A fire – right in front – of us Enjoying– Everything - without words Thinking– what I left – behind Happyness– and nothing else – matters A bottle – of wine on – the table The moment – time doesn't – elapse Harmony– that's how it should – be Slow– Slower, don't watch me – go Bridge: Oh– I never thought- that this could be- And makes me smile – so happily You're everything to me I know I also hope, that you think so x2

Tragedy 02:48
Sven Humm – Tragedy [Official Lyrics]: Verse I: It's such a tragedy, You always were so close to me, It's such a tragedy, You're rather in my family. Verse II: You were the one for me, to share my thoughts and beeing free, the love you gave to me, was more than it was supposed to be. Verse III: As I looked into your eyes, I saw things that I can't disguise, I tried to reach for you, but then you went away that's true. Pre-Verse: Verse IV: Days and months surpassed so slow, since you left me there out alone, I wish you luck in time, because I couldn't make you mine. Solo:

Enceladus 03:17
Sven Humm - Enceladus [Official Lyrics]: Verse I: Travelling to Enceladus and no one seems to care. At first I was just curious but no one has been there. I grabbed all my belongings A plan I had to share. Constructed myself a spaceship They said, i was insane. Chorus: Uuh, what a long way to go Uuh, on earth it starts to snow Uuh, I am ageing you know, Uuh but I knew that before. Verse II: So I got buried in my basement And figured a plan. Got to know about the athmosphere and was scared of the methane. As I sat down on the windowsill, the distance I compared. So I found out how far it was but needed to be there. Chorus: Uuh, what a long way to go Uuh, on earth it starts to snow Uuh, I am ageing you know, Uuh but I knew that before. Verse III: When I felt Saturn's gravity and finally approached, my muscles felt so weak (again), still sitting in this hose. So I went down on the surface, completely overwhelmed, creatures floating everywhere - the lay of the land. Solo:

I Got No Sleep Today [Official Lyrics]: Verse 1: I got no sleep today, I'm falling, yes i sway I'm turning in thes heets, I'm falling ill from disease. Look who I lost today, 'cause of my personal way. Got stolen from my needs, I'm beggin', beggin' please. She went away-decay, thoughts running through my brain. What happened to my soul, can't believe I let her go Chorus: Did I ever mention?All of the tension? All these little problems, on our souls. Verse 2: My boo went out the door, of course I miss her so. Spent so much time together, now she is gone forever. Sweeping mess up to my feet, fragments – no good friends in deed * What have I done to her, she treats me like a mass-murderer. I'm drenched up all in rain, anyone, can you feel the pain? I don't want to cry,I'm not a sissy-guy! Chorus: Did I ever mention?All of the tension? All these little problems, on our souls. Solo:

Quotes about me:

“Beyond the poppy mainstream of these hectic times, Singer/Songwriter Sven Humm takes the listener on a journey with handmade music, deep into his mind and away from all the hurly-burly. Influences of his work can be found along Blues-music and Alternative, as well at the psychedelic music of the seventies.“

-Steffen Gerlach, JUKUZ Aschaffenburg

„Boom! Sven Humm appears out of nowhere and hits bulls eye with
„Run The Risk Of Winning“. […] The psychedelic blues sound of The Doors
as well as the Alternative Rock sound of the Red Hot Chili Peppers
can be discovered on songs such as „Melanie“ or „Enceladus“ .
Humm easily transfers the sound of the praised 70s into present:
He passionately confers his smokey voice to emotional lyrics while he outlines
demanding subjects with swift fingers on his guitar.
Quality production from Aschaffenburg!”

- Christoph Rüppel, FRIZZ Magazine Aschaffenburg

To summarize who Sven Humm is gets harder day by day. He surely is a musical microcosm to himself,
expanding consecutively, making it harder to define – as a passionate songwriter,
a soulful guitarist and as a remarkably honest and intense singer.
He is now more than ready to hit the floor and to touch your soul.
