Old Oak Standing (lyrics and music by Baum)
There's an old oak standing, it's a good old tree
He once crossed the rivers and the seven seas of love
When he tells the stories of his younger days
Oh, his bark gets wrinkly, engraves a smiling trace of love
And the leaves fall to the ground
And we all sing to the sound of love
In his backyard garden, standing fierce and tall
After all these seasons it's slowly getting fall, oh love!
May the winds be blowing, may the snowflakes come
We all are your children, and I am all your son of love
And the leaves fall to the ground
And we all sing to the sound of love
And the leaves fall into the sky
And we all sing with a sigh
We all have made mistakes, brought up the silly fakes
Oh carry us until your branches break, oh love!
These roots you have are real, no space left to conceal
You're young enough to make us feel, oh, love
And the leaves fall to the ground
And we all sing to the sound of love
And the leaves fall into the sky
And we all sing with a sigh for love
And the leaves fall to the ground
And we all sing to the sound of love
And the leaves fall into the sky
And we all sing with a sigh, oh love!
And the leaves fall to the sound of love
And we all sing to the ground

Sad (lyrics and music by Baum)
We thought that this was forever
That we could conquer the world
We were close to perfection
So close, so close
We thought that we were together
That we could dance like two swirls
So full of anticipation
So full, so full
But then it all went somewhere
And then it all went down
I am oh so sorry, I am oh so sad
Cause we lost everything that we almost had
Cause I'm stuck in here while you're over there
I am oh so sad
Status is quite irritating
Back then, again and again
There is no explanation
No more for no one
But then it all went somewhere
And then it all went down
I am oh so sorry, I am oh so sad
Cause we lost everything that we almost had
Cause I'm stuck in here while you're over there
I am oh so, I am oh so, I am oh so sorry
I am oh so sad
Cause we lost everything that we almost had
Cause I'm stuck in here while you're over there
I am oh so free

Damn (lyrics and music by Baum)
He folds his pants and all his shirts
With some things but it still hurts, and after all
He puts them back
In a bag he bought across the street
When he already knew
He gets the books that he once bought
For writing in the things he thought, so honestly
And puts them back
In a bag he bought across the street
When he knew that was it
And he goes like: Damn! Is this really enough?
Damn! Does the pain begin right now?
Haven't I done everything
To be better than most of these clowns?
He takes the lift to the ground
Stepping out to get the sound, now on his own
He hesitates
Left, right, left, he hates to cross that street
Now he knows that was it
And he goes like...
He folds his pants and all his shirts
And some things cause it still hurts after all
And puts them back
In a bag he got across the street
When he already knew
And he goes like...

Crow (lyrics and music by Baum)
You won't get me cause I'm too fast
I have my wings, so long my friend
Don't look for me nothing will last
And sing my song until the end
Home sweet home, sweet garbage can
Supper's ready and so am I
I felt alone when all began
I want myself prepare to fly
I'm a crow, don't look for me right now
Somewhere across the whole wide world
In a thousand trees, yeah yeah
I'm a crow, don't look for me too long
I'm proud of flying with the wind
You won't find me on my knees
The world gets small, fades away
Round and blue, but anyway
After all, what should I say
I never knew where I should stay
I'm a crow, don't look for me right now
Somewhere across the whole wide world
In a thousand trees, yeah yeah
I'm a crow, don't look for me too long
I'm proud of flying with the wind
You won't find me on my knees
Forwards, backwards, up and down
Free as a bird in golden cage
Forewards, backwards, up and down
I don't need more than living wage
I'm a crow, don't look for me right now...

BAUM Switzerland
"Baum's intense and passionate performance was probably the best I witnessed at any gig for a long time. When I saw him live
I actually felt privileged to be in the presence of someone with so much talent, so much passion, with songwriting of the highest quality. We really should be seeing this guy in the Olympia."
Peter Nagle, 4fourtyfour Music Blog/Ireland
