about

Following the intimacy of his debut single Yourself, singer-songwriter Silver Birch aka Patrick Lerjen opens the gates wide with his new indie-folk-rock song The Simple Life. He invites us to not dwell on our hardships and leads us out to an alluring world of soothing severity.
Woven of rich textures of 70s-synths and driven by gnarly guitars & drums, The Simple Life was the first song Lerjen wrote, when he was daydreaming about his debut as a singer. The song became somewhat of a blueprint for the sound of Silver Birch.

Recorded during lockdown in the solitude of Lerjen’s one-room-studio, there are 19 songs in cue to be released in the following months.

lyrics

You carry the weight, there's no way around
Try cross the lake, try not to drown
Don’t start to love what’s dragging you down
Find your way back

You call out her name in the night
But all that you fear will be alright
Come on give in to the tides
Together we’ll live the simple life

We’ll rise and bloom to the rhythm of the sun
At night our loving hearts they’ll keep us warm
Together we’ll live the simple life
together we’ll live the simple life oh

Grab your old coat, it's all that you need
The cloud in our hearts it needs to get freed
Up on the hill our true selves we meet
The sun is our guide

The warmth of our hands
The air that we breath
The tangle of life
The calmness beneath

We will find love
We will find love
We will find love

We’ll rise and bloom to the rhythm of the sun
At night our loving hearts they’ll keep us warm
Together we’ll live the simple life
Together we’ll live the simple life oh

We’ll rise and bloom
We’ll rise and bloom

Together
Together we’ll live
Together we’ll live the simple life
