about

"Waltz for a Custom-Made Friend" is the third Single of NOUK's upcoming debut album "Figures Afloat" which will be released on October 28th 2022.

It is a thought experiment, the what-if, the idea that you could buy a friend in the store. How would he/she look like, behave, move, and how would it feel if this friend sat in my living room and started a conversation? Would that be what I needed? Would it do me good to shape a caregiver according to my own wishes? Do I go around in circles? Will I know already at the moment of the question what the other person will answer? Can you feel love for a person perfectly tailored to you? Can one find support in this? Is confrontation, friction and conflict part of friendship, part of love?

💜💜💜

lyrics

She entered the room, a glimpse, a faint smile
I tried to sense her for a while
Pouring coffee as if she was about to drink it
Mesmerizing movements, too perfect to be human
You’re custom-made, built to meet my desire
I’m falling apart while you are whole
Your eyes are filled with love
I’ve poured it in
Uuuh
„What is it, that is so heavy on your mind?“
She asked, but she wouldn’t understand
You can receive love and I’m willing to give
And you collect it like a well,
You swallow, you’re hollow, you receive and receive
You’re custom-made but still failing to meet my desire
I’m falling apart while you are whole, meet my desire
Uuuh
Your eyes are filled with love
I’ve poured it in, and I’ll pour it in, I’ll pour it in

Hi. We are NOUK.
We're an indietronic & chamber pop band based in Dresden and Leipzig. Sometimes string lines interweave with guitar and vocals to create a filigree poem setting, then drums, synth basses and circulating piano patterns build up into colorful arrangements.

Dive in and enjoy.
