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.
Ego
Milky Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ego, see your ego, oh, oh
And I'm missing my miss of roses
Holding my head high up and
My head high up and
I know that she is stronger
'Cause she can break the silence, break the silenceSo meet me by sea, you see it's ours
And our place to be somewhere else
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
When I'm seeing my miss of roses
The world is turning slower
Turning slower
And I guess that she's the strongest
That I have ever seen yet
Ever seen yet
And all along the way she'll need our loveGot to take care of her now
Care of her now
So meet us by the sea, you see it's ours
And our place to be somewhere else
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
The song Ego by Milky Chance seems to be about a person who is struggling with their own ego and is missing their loved one. The chorus "Ego, see your ego" can be interpreted as a reminder to the person to let go of their ego and focus on what's truly important. This is further emphasized by the mention of "missing my miss of roses" and the longing for their presence. The idea that the world turns slower when they are in the presence of their loved one and that they are the strongest person the singer has ever seen suggests a deep respect and admiration for the person.
The idea of meeting by the sea and the repeated mention of gold shimmering sand may be a metaphor for a place of peace and tranquility that the couple shares. The line "our place to be somewhere else" might imply that this place is somewhere they can escape from the stresses of everyday life and just be together.
Overall, the song seems to be a mix of introspection and longing for a romantic partner. The chorus rings true in reminding us to let go of our egos and focus on what's truly important in life.

Am I the only one who just finds this song amazingly beautiful in a "sad" way? I don't know why I feel this way about this song but it's just an amazing song to me and when I read the lyrics it makes me sad but happy at the same time. And don't even get me started on the acoustic version because that one just makes me feel even more passionate about the song.
