Beyond Ideas is a thoughtfully crafted debut EP by the German singer Tabeah. With her eight musicians – including a string ensemble, ambient guitarist Kryshe (Hidden Shoal), bass player Claas-Henning Dörris and pianist David Ehlers – Tabeah has created a sound that is moving between post-rock, baroque-pop and soundtrack. The flying melodies and vast ambient landscapes remind of Jonsi and Sigur Ros and make this music an electrifying and intimately moving experience. Tabeah shares stories of inspiring encounters with people within the Israel-Palestine conflict, Tibet and other places, with unusual depth of soul.

Beyond ideas
Palm tree fields where sprinklers rain,
Caged away from desert plains.
A woman hangs clothes and kids play out,
Next door the soldiers hang around.
Fears ignite and hearts are piled
With system truth and death toll files.
Everyone speaks, there are many sides.
Where did it start and whose story is right?
Beyond ideas of wrong and right,
There is a field
Where you and I we meet
We walk and listen and quietly pray,
At dawn we awake to armed brigades.
They’re headed south in line with the birds.
Dawn chorus and bomb drops blur.
Beyond ideas of wrong and right,
There is a field
Where you and I we meet
God picks up the flute and blows,
Each note comes through as needs in us -
A passion, a longing-pain,
So let my lips sound out again!
Beyond ideas of wrong and right
There is a field
A field where you and I we meet
Oh, many notes sound loud, so sing! hmm sing! Oh, sing!
