In the meantime, following a few changes in the line-up, there is a very well attuned formation with Marius Bornfleth (drums). Timo Bornfleth (vocals, bass), Sandra Schmitt (cello, backing vocals), Patricia Büchler (hurdy gurdy, vocals, flutes), Tim Braatz (keyboard) and Patrick Stäudle (guitars, backing vocals).
Although the musicians are just 18 to 24 years of age, they convince musically as well as with fine compositions and detailed arrangements, in which untypical instruments like hurdy gurdy and cello not only accompany but lead the songs.
Both vocalists Timo and Patricia are never alone on stage with their voices because almost every song has sophisticated arrangements for several voices, animating – not only the die-hard fans – to sing along.
Apart from all cheerfulness Storm Seeker is also capable of producing more melancholic sounds and therefore creates a unique balance between party mood and musical demanding parts.
One More Day
Storm Seeker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My ship crashed on this rock
Drunk and always wise like me
I waited in my shock
As the sun rose from its bed,
I saw the mess my ship had made,
But in between these planks and ropes,
A bunch of hungry sharks awaits
On and on
In the floods
Neptune gave
one more day
How long will these creatures be circling this rock?
Is my death already near, rushing through the fog?
When the suns burns head and chest I wish so fast to swim
But I'm a lousy plunderer, this fight I cannot win!
If I lost my will to live
On and on
I would rather jump and die
In the floods
If only mighty Neptune gave
Neptune gave
The chance of lasting
one more day
Should I swim and take the wounds?
Or should I use my last harpoon?
Is my rescue coming soon or
Should I pray to great Neptune?
If I lost my will to live
On and on
I would rather jump and die
In the floods
If only mighty Neptune gave
Neptune gave
The chance of lasting
one more day
The lyrics of Storm Seeker's song "One More Day" depict the singer's desperate situation after their ship crashes onto a rocky shore in an unknown sea. The singer describes themselves as drunk and wise, possibly referencing their past experiences or lifestyle choices. As the sun rises and reveals the wreckage, the singer realizes that they are surrounded by hungry sharks.
The refrain "On and on, in the floods, Neptune gave one more day" reflects the ongoing struggle and uncertainty the singer faces. They wonder how long the sharks will continue circling the rock, indicating their fear of an impending death. The reference to rushing through the fog suggests the lack of clarity and the urgency of the situation. The sun's scorching heat makes the singer wish they could swim away, but they feel incapable of escaping as they consider themselves a "lousy plunderer" and incapable of winning the fight against the sharks.
The second verse reflects the singer's inner conflict. They contemplate whether they should endure the wounds and swim away or use their last harpoon as a means of defense. They also wonder if rescue is imminent or if they should resort to praying to Neptune, the god of the sea, for divine intervention. The desperation intensifies as the singer contemplates death as a preferable alternative to a prolonged existence in their current predicament.
The repetition of the refrain emphasizes the singer's plea for one more day of survival, asking for a chance to continue living. Whether it be a slight hope of rescue or the strength to fight off their impending demise, the singer longs for the opportunity to endure just a little longer, even amidst their struggles. Ultimately, the lyrics express the human instinct for survival in the face of overwhelming odds and the willingness to grasp onto any glimmer of hope.

Last night in an unknown sea
In the darkness of an unfamiliar ocean
My ship crashed on this rock
My vessel collided with a solid surface
Drunk and always wise like me
Intoxicated yet believing in my wisdom
I waited in my shock
I remained in a state of astonishment
As the sun rose from its bed
With the emergence of the sun from slumber
I saw the mess my ship had made
I witnessed the chaos caused by my vessel
But in between these planks and ropes
However, amidst the wooden structure and bindings
A bunch of hungry sharks awaits
There lie a group of ravenous sharks
On and on
Continuously
In the floods
Within the engulfing waters
Neptune gave
The god of the sea granted
one more day
An additional day of survival
How long will these creatures be circling this rock?
For what duration will these creatures patrol around this barrier?
Is my death already near, rushing through the fog?
Is my demise imminent, swiftly approaching through the mist?
When the sun burns head and chest I wish so fast to swim
During the scorching of the sun on my head and chest, I yearn to swim swiftly
But I'm a lousy plunderer, this fight I cannot win!
Yet, I am an incompetent looter; thus, I cannot emerge victorious in this battle!
If I lost my will to live
In the event of my desire for survival diminishing
I would rather jump and die
I would prefer to plunge and perish
Should I swim and take the wounds?
Should I swim and endure the injuries?
Or should I use my last harpoon?
Alternatively, should I employ my final harpoon?
Is my rescue coming soon or
Is my salvation approaching swiftly or
Should I pray to great Neptune?
Should I beseech the mighty Neptune?
The chance of lasting
An opportunity to endure
one more day
for an additional day
