1.	Full of Knots 02:06	lyrics	buy track
A soul full of knots is better Than no soul at all  A body that rots beats having No body at all But my head  Oh this head  Can I have someone else’s instead? To simply exist is better  Than not being here  To have all these things All these sights, all these sounds All those years But this head  Oh this head I would rather have air there instead A soul full of knots is better Than no soul at all  A body that rots beats having No body at all But this head  Fuck this head!  I would rather have no head instead
2.	Going Under (live @ CPH:DOX, Bremen Teater) 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Just like so many before me I know that there's an end for me I am no master I am no king All of those voices are telling me How I should live and how I should be But I am no master I am no king But I know Where I am going I am going under No one is out to correct me now I have escaped their grip somehow I am no master I am no king I am the wind I am the rain I am no one and have no name I am no master I am no king But I know where I am going I am going under
3.	Life is a Liquid (live @ CPH:DOX, Bremen Teater) 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Our lives are like a liquid Flowing through two separate grooves One heading for the future The other for the truth Both end up in the ocean One trickles through so steady The other is spilling over One stream will make you ready The other into a rover Both end up in the ocean One wakes you in the morning The other in the night

about

“Full of Knots” is taken from EXEC’s debut album (Tambourhinoceros 2016) and is released including two live recordings from EXEC’s debut performance at Bremen Teater in Copenhagen in November 2015.

Troels Abrahamsen released his debut album under the moniker EXEC in February. The Limber Real is an intimate, emotional and analogue collection of music for piano and vocals. The album was recorded in collaboration with producer Mikkel Bolding. Troels & Mikkel have spent hours, days and weeks looking for the perfect place to record every song to capture the right sonic moments and from there to capture the perfect takes. A constant search for the right acoustic moments and situations.

"Full of Knots" articulates the challenge of being filled with thoughts while wanting to clear ones heads and just float along without thoughts and concerns. Such existential reflections characterizes all songs on The Limber Real and Troels’ precise observations and poetic lyrics underlines that Troels not only excels as a singer but also as a songwriter.
