Long way to China 03:34
lyrics
Long way to China Sorry this week feels like a day is it sad to say something like that My pretty fish last week something came over thee we both were fucking off this white and sticky you have got a few more things to give So keep your slip on + teach me how to feel like a man i love you half as much as i can could you excuse my hesitation Sweetheart your lips tits and toes your back limbs and how it goes on + on + on + on My best beloved all i want to do is to stay but all we have got to do is to pray for love and entertainment Oh dear it is hard to let you know someday i will have to go all the way to china

Park 03:48
lyrics
Der Park Allein in schwimmenden Konturen man wacht neu auf Gift kriecht das Mark abwärts im Schoß fängt es zu blühen an Ich steh ich sehe dich kriechend im Flur im Klang meines Lärms Gedanken die der Abwärtsweg begräbt du bist wahr hier der Asphalt schleppt die Füße fort du zerläufst mir der Park dessen Schatten dich schluckt verliert mich
4.
Einstellen 04:47
lyrics
Einstellen Verliebt sein schmerzt wie verlassen sein erst reißt es tief schwer wieder hinaus wider den Stimmen im Ohr nur noch Gewäsch es wurde dir anfangs gesagt Das für dich weiter erzählen wird ein anderer für mich das für mich weiter erzählen wird ein anderer für dich Stell das Sanfte wieder her stell dein Sanftes wieder her Es schwingt nach es pendelt aus um wieder hineinzugehen um wieder auszugehen
5.
The white flight 07:10
lyrics
The white flight A spider had spun a cobweb knots and nothing fills the brain a muddle of coincidence maybe just existing here The first insecured steps caught slowly into blur slowly in sweet words accepting the coincidence in an atmosphere the borderlines are defined the lines seem always to be out of luck so return into the blur of ordinarity I thought you something has made up my world I remove the stitches of your existence which made up that world watching the tendered small white wings maybe i saw you once giving completely up yourself to be no more and starring the pitch-dark where something could be happening Something is already cut already gone with a smile and it will be just there to play the part of a beautiful time Watching how they are falling
6.
With the fragments of the end of every journey 03:52
lyrics
With the fragments of the end of every journey On a bench in the shadows of oaks i could die in here buried my heart at the bend of the river i could die in here with the fragments of the end of every journey

about

The EP China is a collection of songs that had been recorded together with the Aderwerk songs, but didn't quite fit to the record.
The song "Long way to China" is the result of the short-lived, but very productive project "Buder/Zwaag" in 2006. This project resulted in a lot of theoretic ideas, thoughts and approaches. Many of those musical ideas influences the beginning of KANAL.
"Einstellen" and "Park" had been originally composed in english. The original versions are included in the Download as bonus tracks.
"The white flight" had already been recorded by KANAL's previous band project "panic in the impasse". As it turns out, the original version seems to be better.
