about

Calling his solo project 'MyKungFu', this singer/songwriter talks of the heart's plate tectonics and muses about the deafening calm of lost love. Domi Schreiber's compositions on 'romantic archeology' dig continuously into the many layers of romance
and bring up almost a dozen of intricate musical artifacts.
Domi Schreiber considers the eleven Songs on 'romantic archeology' as just a snapshot and keeps continuously reinventing his music on stage with varying formations. Performing as a duo he receives help from an accordion (from former East Germany), an old typewriter, an ancient babyphone and a glass of water. As a trio the audience is treated to Kettledrums, and mouth percussion, while the quintet formation gets
supported by the raw power of drums and bass.

'MyKungFu live to me is always some kind of magic hat - I love musical collaborations!' says Domi Schreiber.
Domi Schreiber was born 1973 in the city of Bern. He grew up in Basel, hit puberty in Solothurn, went to school in Biel and discovered his fascination for the guitar in Geneva. He eventually studied music in
Zurich, joined his first 'real' rock band 'HNO' in Aarau and finally lost his heart to the city of Winterthur. This is also where he met singer/songwriter William White.
While touring Europe with William White's Band 'The Emergency', Domi Schreiber had already worked on a few songs of his own - yet it was still not the right time for MyKungFu to come into its own. Since April 2009 it has grown to a full-fledged solo project with regular shows on stages all over Switzerland and neighboring europe.

'romantic archeology' was released March 12th 2010

Track Name: Hesitate
i could call you every tuesday
when the days of us have passed
when that place we shared in secret
was a peaceful world we both could understand
well, we’re continents apart
plate tectonics in our hearts

i could call you every monday
when it’s probably too late
if i only was much faster
and would get things right before everybody’s gone
well, we’re continents apart
plate tectonics in our hearts
and now the time is running late
but i can’t stop to hesitate

people always
people always
people always hesitate
people always, always, always
people always
people always hesitate

I could call you any day now
but you know the world
I’m sure you’ll understand

well we’re continents apart
plate tectonics in our hearts
and now the time is running late
but I can’t stop to hesitate

people always.....
Track Name: Please please me
hey you
it’s only after dark, that you’re paralyzed
surprised
how hard it is to make only second place?

what would you say
if we made an exception just today?
please please me
please please me
i beg you please

for you
the only thing to do is to disappear
and still
the only thing you try is to be near

what can i say?
it’s too late,
it’s out of the question, just today
please please me
please please me
i beg you please

so today
i bet you’ll run away
so today
i bet you’ll run away
Track Name: Everything is good
everything is good
as long as i can stay out in the woods
everything is good
as long as i can stay out in the woods

i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever see me
i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever love me
i’d be the happiest someone

everything is good
as long as i can stay out in the woods
everything is good
as long as i can stay out in the woods

i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever see me
i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever love me
i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever see me
i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever see me cry
if you could ever see me cry
oh...
i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever see me
i’d be the happiest someone
if you could ever see me cry
oh...
Track Name: Fear the light
We took off into the night
until the stars were fading
long ago and far away
when we started hiding

there’s a truth to every lie
you just have to want it
fools are better off inside
cause the lions fear the light
we’re better of inside

there’s no reason to forget
as long as we’re still fighting
will we ever figure out
how to stop the bleeding?

there’s a hole in every wall
as long as we keep talking
how we ever gonna learn
that the lions fear the light?
we’re better of inside

there’s a hole in every wall
as long as we keep talking
how we ever gonna learn that lesson?

move on, move on, move on happily
move on, move on, move on happily
Track Name: Panic
Well i tried and tried to pretend
that i was doing right
but i was going wrong
did i all that for nothing?
for nothing?

We are side by side still trying to talk
to each other but we don’t find words
did we all that for nothing?
for nothing?

NOW I’M SITTING INSIDE BUT
I DON’T WANNA HIDE
BUT YOU’RE GONE AND YOU’RE NOT COMING BACK
AND I FEEL LIKE I’M NOTHING
I SAID I’M NOTHING

ALREADY KNEW I’D MISS YOU
WHEN YOU WERE STILL AROUND
I COULDN’T SAY I LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU WERE STILL AROUND

ALREADY KNEW I’D MISS YOU
WHEN YOU WERE STILL AROUND
I COULDN’T SAY I LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU WERE STILL AROUND
Track Name: The silence of love
life’s like a house of cards
hope’s in a cup made of china
it’s all going to fall apart
we’re lost in the silence ahead

so much more to say
but we’re lost in the silence instead
you’re long gone but treasured now
let’s paint that silence blue

so dead calm like today
you’ve never been in your words before
hang on, it’s over soon
don’t stab me yet love
i’m bleeding out, anyway

there’s so much more to say
we’re lost in the silence instead
nothing feels the same
let’s paint that silence blue

there’s so much more to say
but we’re lost in the silence of love
we’re long gone but treasured now
let’s paint that silence blue
Track Name: Loops in a Jar
you don’t have to go
why don’t you just stay?
you don’t have to leave me
Track Name: Substance
the thing that keeps us safe
is a little bit of substance
and substance is a fading thing
it appears in many shapes
in pills and love in jars or popsongs
substance is a fading thing

but it’s all so wrong
if we carry on
it’s not for very long
it doesn’t run that deep
if we carry on
it’s not for very long
it’s not the thing that comes for cheap
it’s the bitter stuff
that makes the body burn
the lack of substance’s pushing through
pushing through
pushing through

once i’m the the ride
there’s no blinking to my thinking
maybe i will learn someday
suddenly awake
everything seems oh so clear now
how could i assume that you would stay?

but it’s all so wrong....
Track Name: Do what you do
we seem so small and still and gone
so blue, so blue from far
something’s right when nothing’s wrong
so true so true
so far

i’ll let you go, let you do what you do
please let me know, that you do what you do

See your eyes so black and blue
so soft, so hard from far
something’s right when nothing’s wrong
so true, so true
so far

i’ll let you go, let you do what you do
please let me know, that you do what you do

i’ll let you go, let you do what you
please let me know, that you do what you do

do yeah what you do
do what you do
do what you do yeah
what you do, do what you do
