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.
Rush
Milky Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the moonlight all around
I just keep on facing up the true side
Oh, the true side of my own
Throughout the day broken bridges burn
They make me wanna turn around
Thoughts just keep on drownin' in my blue mind
So then
I feel rush in my own blood
I'm holdin' on, the cold is gone
Chances are my sorrows start to fade away
This time it got me night and day
Oh, it got me every day
This time it got me night and day
Oh, it got me every day
Every day
Lately I woke up with that old feeling
That old feeling chasin' me
Still there is a wonder of a meaning
I start believing what I've seen
Throughout the night, many mysteries
No necessities just fade away
Thoughts just keep on drowning in my blue mind
In my blue mind, all the time
So then
I feel rush in my own blood
I'm holdin' on, the cold is gone
Chances are my sorrows start to fade away
This time it got me night and day
Oh, it got me every day
This time it got me night and day
Oh, it got me every day
Every day
On avait rêvé de ça ensemble
On avait rêvé de ça ensemble
Et maintenant que nos vies ressemblent
À tout ce qu'on a imaginé
Sans toi il n'y a pas de sens (de sens)
Sans toi il n'y a pas de sens (de sens)
Aux blessures et médailles gagnées
Aux blessures et médailles gagnées
This time it got me night and day
Oh, it got me every day
This time it got me night and day
Oh, it got me every day
Every day
The lyrics of Milky Chance’s song “Rush” describes a feeling of being consumed by a rush of emotions. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the challenges they face each day, feeling as though they are running in circles. The phrase “facing up the true side” implies that the singer is trying to confront reality instead of escaping from it. However, their thoughts keep overwhelming them, leading to a downtrodden mood. Suddenly, the singer experiences a surge of emotion, as if something has awakened inside them – they describe it as a “rush in their own blood”. With this feeling, they can overcome their sorrows and begin to see the beauty in the things around them, as the darkness fades away.
The second verse of the song continues with the same motif of being overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions. The singer feels as though they’re being chased by their own emotions, but they also find a sense of wonder and meaning in them. They describe being surrounded by mysteries, with no need for necessities to fade away. Again, they experience the same “rush” that fills them with the strength to persevere through the difficult times that they face.
Overall, the song conveys the message of trying to confront the challenges of life and overcoming them by embracing a rush of emotions that brings meaning and wonder to even the darkest moments.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been runnin' circles with the moonlight
I've been wandering aimlessly under the moonlight
With the moonlight all around
The moonlight is my only companion
I just keep on facing up the true side
I keep facing the reality of things
Oh, the true side of my own
The true side of myself
Throughout the day broken bridges burn
During the day, I encounter obstacles that make me want to turn back
They make me wanna turn around
They make me want to give up
Thoughts just keep on drownin' in my blue mind
My thoughts are engulfed by sadness
In my blue mind, all the time
My sadness is always with me
So then
As a result
I feel rush in my own blood
I feel a sense of urgency
I'm holdin' on, the cold is gone
I am holding on and no longer feel cold
Chances are my sorrows start to fade away
There is hope that my sadness will disappear
This time it got me night and day
This feeling is with me constantly
Oh, it got me every day
I feel it every day
Lately I woke up with that old feeling
Recently I woke up feeling the way I used to
That old feeling chasin' me
That old feeling is haunting me
Still there is a wonder of a meaning
I am still searching for a deeper meaning
I start believing what I've seen
I start to believe what I have experienced
Throughout the night, many mysteries
At night many things are unexplainable to me
No necessities just fade away
Things that are not important gradually fade away
On avait rêvé de ça ensemble
We dreamt about this together
Et maintenant que nos vies ressemblent
And now that our lives resemble that dream
À tout ce qu'on a imaginé
Everything we imagined
Sans toi il n'y a pas de sens (de sens)
Without you, there is no meaning
Aux blessures et médailles gagnées
Through the wounds and victories
This time it got me night and day
This feeling is with me constantly
Oh, it got me every day
I feel it every day
Every day
Every single day

I can’t imagine how long it took to film this. Stop motion is hard enough without people.

Tim Jacuzzi what about this one
@hdman9047
@Tim Jacuzzi After the Sadneccessary fame their sound turned generic. Blossom only had 2-3 memorable tracks while in Sadnecessary every track was a 10/10. I'm not really hopeful hearing the singles for this album so far, they sound uninspired just like they did for Blossom and the sound is nothing that stands out. But I will forever be a fan of Clemens and Milky Chance because of Loveland and Sadnecessary. That song and album are contenders for all time greats.
