1) MICHELLE is a fresh musical collective hailing from New York City. Weaving in and out of R&B, Pop, Jazz and Indie sounds, the group of six pays homage to these genres through 70s inspired basslines, driving drum beats, plush synths and enticing vocals. Having recently celebrated their first year on the scene as an ensemble, MICHELLE is already solidifying itself as a strong current in a new wave of emerging NYC staples. MICHELLE’s unique stylings are the result of fine-tuned production and arrangements by Julian Kaufman and Charlie Kilgore, with singers Jamee Lockard, Layla Ku, Sofia D’Angelo, and Emma Lee churning out illustrative lyrics and powerful harmonics. Written and recorded in Kaufman’s bedroom over the span of two weeks, their debut album “HEATWAVE” captures a compilation of sentimental moments – snapshots of youth through a New York summer, all immediately recognizable to those who’ve lived them (and those that have wished to).

Kinderaugen
Michelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was sag ich wenn mein Kind mich danach fragt
Sag ich Du bist zu klein und das verstehst Du nicht
Dann laufen ein paar Tränen ins Gesicht
Und wenn ich sag die ganze Welt ist schön
Kann ich Dir dann noch in die Augen seh'n
Kinderaugen sind so ehrlich
Sind so hilflos wenn wir Blicke nicht versteh'n
Kinderaugen kannst Du glauben
Kinderaugen suchen Antwort
Und bleiben mit den Fragen oft allein
Kinder brauchen so viel Ehrlichkeit
Schau nur hinein und nimm Dir Zeit
Hab mir so oft geschworn Dich lüg ich niemals an
Wünsch mir dass ich mein Wort auch halten kann
Was sag ich wenn Du fragst kann ich dieser Welt vertrau'n
Kann ich auf gute Freunde wirklich bau'n
Die Wahrheit wär die Welt ist wie sie ist
Was ich Dir sag das weiß ich heut' noch nicht
Kinderaugen sind so ehrlich
Sie sagen ohne Worte was sie seh'n
Sind so hilflos wenn wir Blicke nicht versteh'n
Kinderaugen kannst Du glauben
Kinderaugen suchen Antwort
Und bleiben mit den Fragen oft allein
Kinder brauchen so viel Ehrlichkeit
Schau nur hinein und nimm Dir Zeit
Michelle's song "Kinderaugen" talks about the innocence of children and the importance of being honest with them. The opening lines ask the existential question of who turns on the stars and why does it become dark at night. The singer expresses her dilemma of providing an honest answer to her child when they ask questions about the world around them. She is torn between telling them the truth and protect them from the harshness of reality. The chorus repeats the importance of being truthful with children, who rely on their parents to provide them with answers. Children's eyes are described as honest, seeking for answers and often left alone with their questions. The singer acknowledges the responsibility of being a parent, of guiding and supporting their children in a world full of uncertainties.
The song is an emotional ballad, with a melancholic tone, that touches the heart and mind of every parent. It highlights the beauty and simplicity of children's perspective, reminding adults of the importance of taking the time to engage with their children and provide them with truthful answers. The song is also a reminder of the trust that children place in their parents, who have the power to shape their worldview.
