The band was created in 1991 as a "Punk band with Cello" named Flowerhouse in Cologne. From the start their audience was mainly formed by politically oriented people from the squatting and traveler scene. Their connection to bands such as The Ex, Chumbawamba and Dog Faced Hermans influenced the band in their start time. The concerts were and are often still held at small podium and squats, keeping a D.I.Y. mentality.

In 1993 the band was renamed to Guts Pie Earshot. It consisted at that time of Patrick Cybinski (Cello in various orchestras), Jean Jacobi (Drums with Tecbilek, Ministry of good Vibrations, Lucy killed the Dragon), Anneke Punkt (Formerly member of the band Loonies), Alex Franke (from Phew) and Gunther Steudel (in the meantime also composer of contemporary film music) Since 2004 the band is completely minimalistic with Patrick Cybinski on the cello and Jean Jacobi on the drums.

Close to Distance
Guts Pie Earshot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The change was slow
I'm half of everyone around
Now I feel nearer
When I am far away from you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Guts Pie Earshot's song Close to Distance hint at a change happening within the singer. They suggest that it was a gradual change, one that took a while to become noticeable. The lyrics also reveal that the singer feels disconnected from others, only being "half of everyone around." However, despite this seeming isolation, the singer experiences a sense of closeness to someone in particular. This person seems to exist as a kind of anchor for the singer, grounding them even when they are physically far away.

The phrases "close to distance" and "far away from you" likely serve as metaphors for the singer's emotional state. The distance is not just physical but also represents an emotional distance that they feel from those around them. This emotional distance may come from feeling different or alienated from the people around them. However, the sense of closeness the singer feels towards one person suggests that there is hope for them to feel more connected to others in the future.

Line by Line Meaning

The change was slow
Gradually, things started transforming

I'm half of everyone around
I feel incomplete compared to others in my vicinity

Now I feel nearer
Despite the physical distance, I feel emotionally closer to you now

When I am far away from you
Ironically, it's when I'm physically distant from you that I feel emotionally closer

Yes an Fantastic song, I hear and see Them in Boltenhagen, Wally auf der Alternativen in HL bei einem Maifest, während Corona beim Livescreamming konnte ich ihnen lauschen im Treibsand spielten sie!
Kommt nicht "nur" zu Solizwecken mal wieder auf die Walli in Lübeck!!!
Ein altes Cello wurde heute für 400 Euro im Lübecker Wochenspiegel angeboten, aber das kann ich mir mit meiner Erwerbslosigkeitsrente plus Wohngeld LEIDER nicht leisten. Liebe Grüße an die klasse Band. Heike
