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.

Milky Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it go, just wasting come
I was listening to the crooked sound
Of the lie that was way too loud
You're asking me, I don't have clue
I'm just trying to turn it into the blue
Is it something that we have to found
Out of nothing on a fragile groundOut of nothing on a fragile ground
Have you ever seen how far it is
To the place where we are to dream
Can you better hear the storming folks
Whispering in fear, roars the most
Have you ever seen how far it is
To the place where we are to dream
Can you better hear the storming folks
Whispering in fear, roars the most
I want you to lock that door
That has always made you want to move
Will you ever find a way out there
Returning to the room we used to share
You're asking me, I don't have a clue
I was trying to turn myself into you
Is it something that we have to found
Out of nothing on a fragile ground
Out of nothing on a fragile ground
Have you ever seen how far it is
To the place where we are to dream
Can you better hear the storming folks
Whispering in fear, roars the most
Have you ever seen how far it isTo the place where we are to dream
Can you better hear the storming folks
Whispering in fear, roars the most
The lyrics of Milky Chance's song, Piano Song, present a yearning for a deeper connection with someone. The singer of the song wants this person, who is not specified, to sit them down and let go of whatever is troubling them. The singer is listening to a "crooked sound of the lie that was way too loud," possibly indicating that the person they are addressing is not being honest with them. The singer admits to not having a clue about what is going on, but they are determined to turn the situation "into the blue" - a color often associated with calm and tranquility. The line "out of nothing on a fragile ground" highlights the delicacy of the situation and the potential for things to fall apart.
The chorus of the song repeats twice, emphasizing the themes of distance ("have you ever seen how far it is to the place where we are to dream") and fear ("can you better hear the storming folks whispering in fear, roars the most"). The imagery of a faraway dream emphasizes a desire for something seemingly unattainable, while the "storming folks" whispering in fear could represent the singer's own doubts and anxieties about their future.
In the second verse, the singer asks the person to "lock that door that has always made you want to move." This line could be interpreted as a reference to the person's desire to escape from their current situation. The singer wonders if they will ever find a way out there and return to the room they used to share. Again, the singer admits to not having a clue about what's going on, but they express a desire to understand and connect with the person.
Overall, the lyrics of Piano Song are thoughtful and reflective, expressing a yearning for deeper connections and a desire to understand complex situations.
Line by Line Meaning
I want you to sit me down
I want you to have a serious conversation with me
Let it go, just wasting come
Let's forget our worries and just go with the flow
I was listening to the crooked sound
I was being influenced by dishonesty
Of the lie that was way too loud
Of the falsehood that was overpowering
You're asking me, I don't have clue
You're asking me something I don't know the answer to
I'm just trying to turn it into the blue
I'm just trying to see things in a more positive light
Is it something that we have to found
Is it something we need to discover
Out of nothing on a fragile ground
Starting from scratch with a delicate foundation
Have you ever seen how far it is
Have you ever realized how difficult it is
To the place where we are to dream
To achieve our dreams
Can you better hear the storming folks
Can you better listen to the chaos and negativity around us
Whispering in fear, roars the most
The quiet fears we have are often the loudest
I want you to lock that door
I want you to leave your worries behind us
That has always made you want to move
That has always made you restless
Will you ever find a way out there
Will you ever find a way to escape your troubles
Returning to the room we used to share
Going back to the way things used to be
You're asking me, I don't have a clue
You're asking me something I have no answer for
I was trying to turn myself into you
I was trying to understand your perspective
Out of nothing on a fragile ground
Building something from nothing on an unstable foundation
Have you ever seen how far it is
Have you ever realized how difficult it is
To the place where we are to dream
To reach our goals and aspirations
Can you better hear the storming folks
Can you better tune out the negativity around us
Whispering in fear, roars the most
The quiet anxieties we have are often the most powerful
