“Ego” by Milky Chance – A Song Review

          Providing more evidence that they rule the Folktronica genre, Milky Chance released “Ego,” which will be on the album “Blossom.” The album will be available on March 17.
     “Ego” is less dependent upon sampling then “Stolen Dance,” the track that brought the German duo to prominence. It is more of a tropical smoothie (with its sampling, “Stolen Dance” might be comparable to a shake flavored with bits of fruit).

     Milky Chance is from Kassel, Germany. The members are Clemens Rehbein (vocals and guitar) and Philipp Dausch (DJ and producer), while guitarist Antonio Greger joins them in live performances. They are scheduled for a tour that includes shows in Europe, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia. The venues are relatively intimate, far smaller than the demand for tickets. For example, the San Francisco visit will be at The Independent, which accommodates 500 fans of Milky Chance. All of the scheduled stops in Europe and the U.S. are already sold out.

Lyrics of “Ego” by Milky Chance
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego, oh oh

I'm missing my Miss of Roses
Holding my head high up and
My head high up and
I know that she is stronger
Cause she can break the silence, break this silence

So meet me by sea, you see it's ours
And our place to be somewhere else

Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away

Ego, see your ego
[Repeat 3x]

When I'm seeing my Miss of Roses
The world is turning slower
Turning slower

And I guess that she's the strongest
That I have ever seen yet
Ever seen yet

And all along the way she'll need our love
Got to care of her now
Care of her now
So meet us by the sea, you see it's ours
And our place to be somewhere else

Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away

Ego, see your ego
[Repeat 3x]
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
