His heart-felt and hard-hitting melodies and texts reveal a heightened sensitivity. He writes in English “because it’s an international language!”, and it’s an important factor if you want to share your music with the whole world. He has been crazy about music since he was a very young child. He took guitar lesson at the conservatory for many years and was also the soloist in a choir.
With a solid experience and a repertoire of songs he has written since the age of 15, he has been playing at show-case unplugged performances, private parties and outdoor stage gigs in front of constantly enthusiastic audiences for the past two years now. In fact, during a concert he was noticed by a producer not long ago and at the same time Caprices Festival organisers noticed him and right away had the good taste to offer him a venue that reflected his talent*. Today, Bastian is working hard on his first album. This is excellent news and means soon we’ll probably hear his unique voice on radio and … echoing in our minds!
Bewitched
Bastian Baker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if she’s with me I feel wrong
There’s something special about this girl that I belong to
Coz when I’m joyful she feels bad
To show that I care I say I’m sad
Sometimes I hate myself for all that love I got
She’s taking me up
Breaking me down
There is nothing in between
Sometimes adult sometimes teen
and when in doubt, I’m a red horned angel,
I’d spend a lifetime thinking of her
But I’m certain that it’s worse
Than my curse
I try to runaway
She’s taking me up
Breaking me down
Making me feel so sad but then again I’m fine
Listen girl
I ain’t knocking the chase
But you got me stuck between a rock and a hard place
I love your beauty and grace
Your love I duly embrace
You’re truly the pace
The reason why I’m running this race
But every time I get closer
You close to me
Makes me wonder if you getting the most of me
Makes me wonder about the way it’s supposed to be
Cold summers in winter you are roasting me
But still I forgive
For you I live
Everything I got to give it up to ya
You know I’m stuck to ya
I’m glued on clued on to ya way of thinking
I sway towards you in a wink baby
A blink and
You’re the only chick I wanna run with
Bonnie and Clyde
True Romance
Believe me
You are one in a mil
A diamond in the ruff
Hard to find
In you I confide
Don’t leave me
I know it’s not easy
But…
