After a long break, the Ghent collective Thou is finally back, albeit in a rather surprising way. From the 27th of August onwards, the band will offer three songs for sale exclusively through the internet. And this is just the beginning of a much bigger plan: on a regular basis, spread out over a year, Thou will offer three new songs. By the time we’ve reached the summer of 2008 there will be a total of 12 new Thou songs available on the internet. This means that there will not be a full album but, if we have to give it a name, a ‘collection of EP’s’. In the past, Thou has already released four ‘conventional’ albums and one EP. Quite an impressive body of work, if you ask us. So why this sudden change of plan? To record an album there has to be a ‘classical’ method of working: you write songs during a certain period of time and then you arrange and rehearse them with the band in order to be able to step into the studio and record your collection of songs in a studio, trying to make sure that you will obtain the desired result: a record. In 2007, Thou has bravely opted for a radically new approach. Liberated from the format of the classical album there is more room for experimentation. Listening to the new songs, you can hear that this newly begotten freedom has inspired Thou and given them the opportunity to show the differences within the band in an organic way. Moreover, the flexibility of the internet has provided the chance to work in a swift and direct manner. The period between writing a song and the eventual release date will become much shorter which will only enhance the spontaneity. After all: who doesn’t love “spontaneity”? These are exciting times for us and, hopefully, for you too.

Es ist seit Tag eins Fakt , dass ich Dir nachwein.. Ich sitz die ganze Nacht allein vor einem Glas Wein Ich wollt doch stark sein - doch shit ich werd schon wieder schwach Ich weiss noch nichtmal ob es hilft , dass ich hier Lieder mach
Hörst Du mein Herz schlagen ? Es muss den Schmerz tragen. Es würd..Dir gern was sagen und Dir deinen Wert verraten Es will deinen Namen laut singen in jeder Melodie Doch mein Auge weint , weil es nichts an deiner Stelle sieht
Deine Lücke schliesst nie , das ist mir bewusst doch ich verfalle immer wieder tiefer in das gleiche Muster obwohl icvh keine Lust hab , werd..ich jeden Morgen wach Du fehlst und es quält mich stetig die enorme Last
Mich macht die Sorge schwach , dass ich Dich nie wieder seh.. Dass die Zeit ohne Dich und ohne Licht hier nie vergeht Mir tun die Füße weh - kann ich deine Flügel nehm.. Wie soll ich die Probleme in meim..Leben überstehen ?
Willst Du wissen , wie der Text weiter geht ? Dann schau doch in mein erstes Musikvideo rein :)
Schreib mir wenn Du Zeit und Lust hast , was du davon hälst :)
