about

S: Stefanie ist eine 37 Jährige Berlinerin und seit 4 Jahren in verschiedenen kleinen Gesangs- und Gitarrenprojekten aktiv. 2015 haben sich Anton und Stefanie durch ihre Söhne und den gemeinsamen Wohnort kennengelernt. Seit einem halben Jahr probieren sie sich musikalisch im Orphan Train Project aus. Der Song 'The Last Star' ist die erste gemeinsame Aufnahme der beiden und vereint Indie Pop Rock mit sommerlichen und melancholischen Elementen.

A: I wrote 'The Last Star' in Rudolfplatz during the summer of 2020, and it was the song that immediately came to mind when Steffi and I talked about recording something together in early 2021 - a creative project in the midst of lockdowns, home schooling and an icy winter. After a few rehearsals, I recorded the music in February and Steffi sang the lead vocal in my kitchen over two sessions in March.

lyrics

On the days we run into
Some are gone and some are new
Climbing in your window frame
Holidays were just the same
Staring into tired eyes
In a world of no surprises

On a road with a million cars
Counting signs down to where you are
Hiding on the last star
Can I go to the other side?
Will I float on the evening tide?
Hiding on the last star

Staring into outer space
Starter gun to the mystery race

On the crest of a broken wave
On the days of the love you gave
Hiding on the last star
Counting miles to the semaphore
From the signs to the evermore
Hiding on the last star

On the road with a million lights
And I know it will be alright
Hiding on the last star
Climbing into your window frame
Counting stars to the way you came
Hiding on the last star

about

Orphan Train Project Berlin, Germany

Orphan Train Project is a musical journey that that began thirty years ago in the secluded hills above Adelaide, South Australia. First records were made on busted tape decks on a bedroom floor. Years passed. I lived in different places. Tape decks became 4 tracks which became sequencers.
