    On his first solo album Max Braun blends pastoral 60ies Folk with elements of
    Krautrock and Minimalism.
    Approaching sleep takes us to that intermediate realm in which thoughts
    meander, meanings shift, memories emerge.
    The nine songs of TILL MORNING COMES send their listeners on
    hypnotic wanderings through weightless worlds: music that fluently
    crosses borders, glides elegantly from here to there and creates haunting
    images.
    On this album, pastoral folk is blended with elements of krautrock,
    minimalism and avant-garde, yet always retains deep-felt warmth. A
    steady pulse transforms the music, letting it slide into the unreal: dreams
    begin.

Early morning bird tell me what you sing Tell me what you sing about Is your song a song of hope Do you sing of happy days to come Oh will this breeze Of balmy morning air Will it brighten me up Will it blow away my wearyness Will it blow away all my longing and distress Early morning bird Tell me what you see When you circle way above my thoughts Why my mind keeps spinning round And why i cannot let go Oh will this breeze Of balmy morning air Will it brighten me up Will it blow away my wearyness Will it blow away all my longing and distress Oh if i could, i would I would make you come back to me Because i know that would Blow away my wearyness

The moon has been drinking all night Now its swooning and swaying On the rooftops moonlight is playing The trees have beeen whispering all night Now they´re swooning and swaying Who knows what those branches have been saying And if i stay So very still Will the noises recede and the movement slow down Well i have been thinking all night Now i´m swooning and swaying Out of orbit my thoughts are straying The stars have been dancing all night Now they´re swooning and swaying For daylights whisper oh the stars are waiting And if i stay So very still Will the noises recede and the movement slow down

Oh my baby have you gone to sleep, 
Fallen into dreams both wide and deep

 Have you gone where I cannot reach
Can’t advise, cannot help or teach

 My little girl dreams of the dead
 Someone standing up on our roof she said

 Your bitter dreams you will have to face
 There’s no disguise, no hiding place

Dreamland 03:19
Hush now my love Quietly sleeping Softly i sense You peacefully breathing Too happy to Shut my eyes and drift away Hush now my love Heavenly smiling Softly i sing Whiles shadows are dancing Too happy to Shut my eyes and drift away Dreamland two souls they´re dancing close Way above The clouds and stars and thoughts Hush now my love Don´t think of tomorrow Life can be cruel And there can be sorrow Too happy to Shut my eyes and drift away Dreamland two souls they´re dancing close Way above The clouds and stars and thoughts

Hear how the wind in the willows Causes a whipser of words When i lie at night on my pillow Restless like the willows i stir Hear how how the wind in the tall grass Causes a whisper of words When i lie at night on my pillow restless like the tall grass i stir Hear how the wind on the water Causes a whisper of words When i lie at night on my pillow Restless like the tall grass i stir Spinn spinn and turn Twist like a leaf on a tree Spinn spinn and run Un the end you will come back to me See all those ships on the ocean Delivered so cruely to fate When the depths of the ocean do open All calling for help is too late Ring ring and chime Ring for the ships lost at sea Ring ring nine times In the end you will come back to me

Fade Away 03:37
Hold me close don´t go away Hold me close don´t go away Keep me save from harm, my love Keep me save from harm, my love Come and take my hand and promise that you´ll be Just right next to me When the morning bells ring And the blackbirds do sing When the first light of day Makes dreams fade away Fade away Fade away Tuck me in and keep me warm Tuck me in and keep me warm Help me make it through the dark Help me make it through the dark Come and take my hand and promise that you´ll be Just right next to me When the morning bells ring And the blackbirds do sing When the first light of day Makes dreams fade away Fade away Fade away

In the last days of summer In late afternoon We walk through the meadows I whistle a tune Then we come to a forest Just baby and I Our shadows are long The sun low in the sky Far from the chimes of The village church tower Though our legs say it's late We've no sense of the hour Pick a dandelion clock From the grasses below Hold it aloft And together we'll blow It's one o'clock, two o'clock Three o'clock, four Five, six, seven, eight o'clock Daytime no more On a mattress of pine needles A pillow of straw We'll lay down together On the soft forest floor As the owl's distant steam-train Delivers its dreams Let the nightingale's lullaby Sing you to sleep Sing you to sleep Sing you to sleep Let the Nightingale Lullaby Sing you to sleep
