About Babylodge
Babylodge was born in Zürich, Switzerland when singer/songwriter Reto Müller started to write and record acoustic
songs while his little daughters were sleeping in the room next door.
Years later, after engagements in other music projects lke Caloon, Kapällä Vörig, he started together with technician and sounddesigner Fabian Trüb to
record and produce
the
songs.
While still treated as a side project for quite some time, babylodge finally finished 13 songs with additional support from bass player Lukas Juchli who played on 7 songs.
The 13 songs were release on the debut album "sunday stories" in December 2020 as a fanrelease.
All the positiv feedback motivated us to now release the album to a wider audiance starting with a radio version of the single "Who". The whole album is now finally releasd on January 2022.
The babylodge music is characterized by emotional and soft vocals/acoustic
guitars, pop melodies mixed with electronic beats and soundscapes.
Currently, babylodge are working new material released beginning 2023.
We hope that you enjoy the music - with best wishes
Reto & Fabian

Lyrics
1. flake
You flake
You’ve always been in trouble
When everything is stone
You’ll be awake
While you are
Bouncing from this to then
Sometimes into a world
Misfit puzzle break
So wait - we’re in trouble
Strangest thoughts awake
Nothing is ever there
But every time somewhere
I am too late
So don’t wait
Slow down pace
Just for a moment of a real calming grace
Missing the one silverside myself
And my travelling came to its end
What’s now in my hand?
Nothing and every trace
Everything’s right here
Please don’t fade away
Faith - we’re in trouble
Strangest thoughts awake
I’m trying to stay in frame
And always walk in lanes
Life can’t lie anyway
" A song about a flake that is as fragile as we are .."
Reto
2. mr. shelter
When I wake up at night
With teardrops in my eyes
Days are haunting me
Never learned to fight
Mr. Shelter
Your cover’s over me
Protect me from the storms
I cannot see
Keep em all away – I’m afraid
Keep em all away – I’m so afraid
Ohhhh, shadows on the wall
Looking down on me yes, I’m so small
Ohhhh, monsters on the wall
Where is mother and where is dad
Take me away
So I push my sheet aside
Run through the night
Squeeze in-between, to hide
Mr. Shelter your net is under me
Now I can fall away
I’m out of reach
They can go away - I’m safe
I’m falling away - I’m safe
" Song about my daugther looking for shelter between the partents bed"
Reto
3. colorful inside
Colour inside
We all gonna be superstars
Scratch off black paint
What’s underneath isn’t far
Are you shining through?
Your dead emotions
Seagull, can’t you talk?
And I swear
You’re colourful inside
Colourful inside
But you’re tamed
Colourful inside
We trust you
You always act in good faith
But inside of you
Your dreams faint of with no one
Kill your daily grind with some inspiration
Cause I swear
Colourful inside
I am colourful inside
But you’re tamed
Colourful inside
" We are all colorful inside.. So scratch off the paint .."
Reto
4. who
I pretend
to be ok
But I know
I need a holiday
To break
out of my everyday
I call the
boss to say ok
There’s no
point in now for me to stay
I’ll be off
this night don’t wait
My
daydreaming is past - didn’t know how long it last
Tell me where I wanna go
I’ll carry
me away – following my will instead
Somewhere else I just wanna be, rotate..
Sell the
car, the house the cat
For a shore
bungalow – I get
Now I know where I wanna be
At the
beach of Genova
Boarding
girls and I’m the lucky star
Now I know what I wanna be
It’s time now
that’s the day – I’m washing all my dreams away
Tell me who I now wanna be
I’m leaving
home today – for livin’ on a holiday
Tell me who I now gonna be
livin’ on a holiday
I am livin’ on a holiday
I am livin’ on a holiday
I am livin’ on a holiday
I am livin’ on a holiday
" Some wishful thinking about livin' on a holiday.."
Reto
5. late
I got sandman eyes
I’m wrapped in a quilt
A “not wanna get up” day
I’ll be running late
Call the boss - to day no way
I can’t make it in today
Things can change in a day
Tomorrow I will try again
I’m waiting for another day
But for now, I’ll stay in my bed
Disconnect outside
Breakfast in bed
I’m the master of my realm
Call a girl for a day
Tomorrow can wait
I’m so happy when I’m late
Things might change on another day
Tomorrow I’ll try again
I’m waiting for another day
But for now, I’ll stay in my bed
" Beeing late can be the best thing that can happen.."
Reto
6. sometimes
Sometimes I wish there is no time
Sometimes I just wish there is no time at all
Sometimes I wish we got more time
Sometimes I wish there’s more time for all
To see it all
To live it all
Longing for the moment praised
With yesterdays in mind and working for tomorrow days to take
A picture but it all won’t last a day
Is sometime today
Sometimes I am waiting for my time
Sometimes I just hope there is no time at all
All so calm
All so calm
" Time is a mistery.."
Reto
7. angel
Alone in the desert
And in a world without rain
nothing to wait for
only the pain
So maybe
I could be so alone
But I can not live
beeing all on my own
In summer's grass
when it carpets the ground
That's where I long for
alive in sounds
oh my childrens laughter won't end
But maybe an angel
could be so alone
But I can not live
beeing all on my own
" A song about my mother who passed away way too early"
Reto
8. baby
We were
talking so much
seven days
and nights we touched all big thoughts
I still
miss your touch
and your
scent, like a 1000 blooming parcs
Touched you
in a night on fire
I‘ll never
be the same
and you
left me behind the hard way
I cannot
cut off this day
I still
miss you anyway
I never saw
you again
felt
through seven years missing you all day
I just got
one touch
but your
scent still flows through my veins
Touched you
in a night on fire
I’ll never
be the same
then you left
me behind the hard way
Oh baby
come again near
Have you
ever been real?
" Have you ever been real?"
Reto
9. desert child
Finally, I found a little stream
And watch through a window
Swimming together with banners they sing
One after the other jumps in
In hoping this is better
Then sitting aside waiting for rain
Come with us
We’re in the same boat
This water we trust
It will take us away
And I get the feeling I am drowning
Estranged of myself
Are we collectively drowning?
And no way back to take
Waiting for a little bit of rain
I'm waiting for a little bit of rain
We’re all float down within
The stream becomes a river
Not thinking it’s just a seasonal thing
Suddenly we end up in the sea
Where wave dilutes the river
No island in sight wherever we see
Come with us
We’re in the same boat
This water of trust
It will take us away
And I get the feeling I am drowning
Estranged of myself
Are we collectively drowning?
For a desert child
It seemed the chance to get out
I was a desert child
Now I am lost far way out
But no way back to take
I’m waiting for a little bit of rain
Waiting for a little bit of rain
" Swim with the flow makes happy but blind..."
Reto
10. beautiful
You stumble
around, the
thoughts in your mind
You trip on
your tongue, but you
find it in time
You’re
yelling at me, and calling my bluff
I won’t
play ruff
You’re hard
as a stone, crushing my
will
You tell me
I won’t, but you
know I’m still
My quiet of
mind, will keep
it all fine
I won’t
play ruff
But you are so beautiful, to me
You’re my miss incredible, I see
Yes, and you are so beautiful
To me - to me, to me, to me
But late
there at night, out there
is a fight
You’re
taking me into the guard of your warmth
You cuddle
my neck, creaming my
back
Kissing my
all over oh I like that
And I
forgot the first verse, what was it
all about?
So, stay
here with me, in bed we
are free
I will be
here as long as you love me, my dear
Out there I
don’t care, cause…
You are so beautiful – to me
You’re my miss incredible, I see
Yes, and you are so beautiful, to me
You’re my miss incredible, I see
I see I see I see – I see
" Yes, you are so beautiful.."
Reto
11. darkness
I’m going through the darkness it’s night
I’m going through the darkness I’m blind
I feel the breeze I’m cold
I’m all aloneA thousand things arise
The lights did blind my eyes
The memories of a coloured world
Stay inside of meI’m going through the darkness I pray
I’m going through the darkness today
Lend me an open eye catch a ray I might
Am I all alone?A thousand things arise
The lights did blind my eyes
The memories of a coloured world
Stay inside of me
" The real coloured wolrd is inside.."
Reto
12. sigmund's fate
Sigmund’s
fate, I watch
with your eyes
Forever you
were fighting against the windmill turning without your sway
Giving up
is not your style
You stumble
over time
And every
fall
Is making
it even harder to leave the cage inside of you
Digging
for a new world
Where
nothing is to blame
No agent
could tame you
Blue
dust – heal my world
Sigmund
take
A look at
yourself
Remember
when we were young and free and
Driving all
down to Spain
This is not
the change
Revoke the
end
Digging
for a new world
Where
nothing is to blame
No agent
could tame you
Blue
dust – heal my world
" Song about a friend attempting to commit suicide"
Reto
13. you wouldn't listen
I see you
carry away all mystics, feelings and wonderings
What isn’t
for you has no worth
You try to
canalize my thoughts
You make me
run and buy and work
and fight and push every day
You
wouldn’t listen
When I cry
alone
Not finding
my way home
Look, we
don’t care about future prospects
Enjoy
everyday playing music
At the
beach to ocean’s rhythm
Every night
we see the moon comes rising
And birds
playing games in trees
So tall and
strong like witnesses of time
We wouldn’t
listen
To your
mainstream shows
Hiding me
my way home
" Often, what generates most noise is not of most value in our life.."
Reto
