about

In Clementine, her debut single, Sandra Kluge’s intricate Tap Percussion demonstrates that Tap can be both a soloing and accompanying instrument. Tap shoes on wood as well as sand played with bare feet create a unique sound texture that stands out from the crowd. Together with luscious vocals, dreamy strings, and multidimensional synth and keyboard harmonies, the song inspires the listener to be present and to embrace one’s struggles as an opportunity to grow instead of running away from oneself and one’s obstacles.

lyrics

Clementine colored skies
Are my oasis
When the darkness of life
Comes like a wave

Walking and wondering if
My frustration
Is a product of my
Need to be liked

I spent my life
Running away
Day after day
Running away

Symmetry looks at me
In contemplation
Speaks to me silently
As I embrace

That the root points toward
My impatience
Showing me to release
All that I hoard

I spent my life
Running away
Day after day
Running away

But now I find
That when I stay
Beauty and light
Never went away
