Nani van Niekerk – Piano Punk
The singer songwriter Nani van Niekerk was born in the sunny city of Cape Town and raised all around southern Africa. Since 2000 curiosity and romance swept her to the northern half of the world, to Germany, where she studies art, art history musicology and English literature – as well as continuously writing new lyrics and composing new songs. Practically raised in front of the piano, Van Niekerk's genre is marked by its simplicity and poetry, performed on the piano and melodiously expressed with a unique and inimitable voice as well as an emotionally peerless stage presence.
Die Sängerin Nani van Niekerk, nach ihrer Geburt im sonningen Kapstadt, erlebte ihre Jugend in verschiedenen Orten im südlichen Afrika bis es sie im Jahr 2000,angetrieben von der Liebe und ihrer Neugier, um die halbe Welt bis nach Deutschland verschlug. Hier studiert sie Kunst, Kunstgeschichte, Musikwissenschaften und Anglistik während sie paralell dazu ihre eigenen Songs und Songtexte komponiert. Das Klavier als untrennbarer Bestandteil ihres Lebens prägte ihr Genre und ihre Musik mit einer Klarheit und Poesie, die sich zusammen mit ihrer klangvollen und unnachahmlichen Stimme zu einer in ihrer Emotionalität einzigartigen Bühnenpräsenz vereinigen.

Muse
So what is this supposed to be now?
I’ve told you that the hunger would never flee...
I’m in between the mountains and the sea
And I’m afraid to be...
God is waiting outside my door
He says that I should come out and take a walk
Well ´m not into all that small talk
I think that I´ll just stick to my four favorite chords
You can be my Muse...
If I can have a little part of you...
You need time but I´m already late
And the distance is too great for this anyway
Well I’ll make love to your soul some day...
Right now I´m afraid that I would fade away
RAZORBLADE GIRL- live in Belgium
Razorblade Girl, well you twist and you twirl,
Your softest skin has been floating over mine
I'm taking care of you, I'm taking care of me
I'm taking care of him
I've been working on us and a piece of our portriat
so
Here I go, shooting arrows at your soul
I can't seem to stop aiming at you, love
Here I go, shooting arrows at your heart
I can't seem to stop tearing you apart....
Razorblade Girl, well you slip and you swirl
your caramel caress have been brushing up my thigh...
I'm pushing through your mind, pushing through your soul
pushing through to him
and I've been fighting for us and a piece of our portrait...
so
Here I go, shooting arrows at your soul
I can't seem to stop aiming at you, love
Here I go, shooting arrows at your heart
I can't seem to stop tearing you apart....
Tula tula baby, I won't let you down...
Tula tula baby you'll be safe in my heart, heart heart....
HUSH
- Homegrown, more specific living-room-recording.
And could you wait, sir?
just for a minute?
I just need, sir,
to show you my wound.
And could you laugh, sir?
Just for a second,
I just need, sir,
to lift up my soul...
And would you worry,
if I don’t come around?
Do you fear, that I might run away?
Can I show you the difference in colour
since the day you, walked through my door?
And Hush, hush!
Don’t breahte a word now
I know, I know,
what you wanna say...
So Hush, hush!
Just close your eyes now
I know, I know,
you came around to stay...
And could I try, sir?
to look a little further
and do you see, sir?
the brilliance as you came...
How am I, sir?
as I shudder on the inside
when you touch, sir,
the warmness of my flame...
I don’t know what you came here for...
it seems to me, seems to be the fall
You took the shimmer from the sunset
and you changed my dusk to dawn...
RUNNING OUT OF WATER
- Live, Foyer Rouge.
Would you voluntarily hear
my opinions to your mind?
Slowly with the weather I do fear
my snowflake’s crumblin in your hand...
I cannot carry your burdens alone:
your short horizons and your microphone!
Can’t lie much longer, dear,
on my back, wrapped, can’t get no air!
And there’s a change coming soon
into your direction!
Through my soul into your bloom,
without any protection!
Babe on the side, Babe in the wild:
She is moving closer....
Just don’t pretend and play these games with me,
cause I’m running out of water!
Through the crater by the light
the hunter’s trying to win the fight
for fresh meat and a line of speed,
why don’t you just fucking sleep with me?
and maybe I want more than you would know...
and maybe I want more than for you to show...
maybe I want more than the damage you have done...
maybe I want more than for your to cum...
