The duo finished their high school education at Jacob-Grimm Schule. Clemens played in a jazz quartet known as Flown Tones where he played bass guitar. Philipp was a DJ.
Their first single 'Stolen Dance' was released in 2012, topping the charts in countries including Austria, France, Hungary and Switzerland.
In 2013, they released their self-produced album 'Sadnecessary' that was well received, that included the tracks 'Stolen Dance' and 'Down by the River'. The album peaked at number 14 in Germany, and charted at 17 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The band released their second album 'Blossom' on 17 March 2017. Blossom was inspired by the experience Clemens and Philipp had in the last two years and the two different worlds they've jumped into: touring and being home in their private life with family and friends. Lead by the single 'Cocoon', the album also includes 'Bad Things' featuring Izzy Bizu.
In May 2019 the band announced they were producing their third album, which would be titled 'Mind the Moon', recording it at Ocean Sound Recordings in Ålesund, Norway. Three songs from the album, 'Daydreaming' (feat. Tash Sultana), 'The Game' and 'Fado' were released in the months leading up to the album release on 15 November 2019.
Down By The River
Milky Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into depths of oblivion and to the lovers-place
I was stuck in a puddle, full of tears and unwise
Dark doings now I know, that we've paid unlike
Honey I know, hey when we walked arm in arm
I felt like we can throw away the falseness of our past
And I know too it's been the hardest days for you
That's what those lovers do
Down by the river, I was drawn by your grace
Into depths of oblivion and to the lovers-place
I was stuck in a puddle, full of tears and unwise
Dark doings now I know, that we've paid unlike
Honey I know, hey when we walked arm in arm
I felt like we can throw away the falseness of our past
And I know too it's been the hardest days for you
Let's throw them out the window
That's what those lovers do
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) down by river
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) mmm
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) down by river
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) down by river

Down by the river, I was drawn by your grace
Into depths of oblivion and to the lovers-place
I was stuck in a puddle, full of tears and unwise
Dark doings now I know, that we've paid unlike
Honey I know, hey when we walked arm in arm
I felt like we can throw away the falseness of our past
And I know too it's been the hardest days for you
Let's throw them out the window

The lyrics to Milky Chance's song, Down By The River, tell the story of two lovers who are drawn to each other by grace and their shared experiences. The first two lines of the song suggest that the singer has been swept away by the grace of his lover, and they have found themselves in the "lovers-place." The next lines indicate that the singer has been stuck in a puddle of tears and unwise actions, but that they have paid their dues for their past mistakes.
The singer then speaks to his lover, acknowledging that they have both had difficult times in the past, but that they can throw away their falseness and difficult days and start anew. The repeated chorus reinforces the idea that they are in this together and that they have been drawn to each other in a powerful way.
The song's lyrics suggest a feeling of vulnerability and the desire to be close to another person, to be seen and understood. The lines "let's throw them out the window, that's what those lovers do" capture the feeling of being on the same team as your partner, and the sense that together, you can overcome any obstacle.

Down by the river, I was drawn by your grace
I was captivated by your charm near the river
Into depths of oblivion and to the lovers-place
I lost myself in your love and it took me to a romantic place
I was stuck in a puddle, full of tears and unwise
I was trapped in a situation full of regret and sadness

I have experienced the consequences of our mistakes and it has been harmful to us both

I understand that walking arm in arm with you is a sign of our love and commitment

I believed that we could let go of our false persona and be true to each other
And I know too it's been the hardest days for you
