Tokom pandemije Covid-19 ove i prošle godine, tokom lock downa, Sonja je završila svoj prvi autorski album. Zajedno sa muzičkim producentom STENIK stvorila je čitav album, a da se njih dvoje nikada nisu ni susreli. Album ima dva dijela – “Dive In Deep” i “Gilded Butterflies”. Prva pjesma sa albuma, koja je trenutno objavljena je “No More Corona”.
I washed your windows
To clear up your mind
I pulled the curtains down
Cleared the clutter in your heart
Tricky fingers and manipulation
But no one ever told you, you gonna see what you have only when you lose
No one ever told you, when you go south, you make your own blues
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far away
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far away
Should I be mad at you for sinking so low?
Should I try to understand and keep us warm?
Through sickness, through cold
No matter what and against all odds
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far away
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far away from me
I gave you and I gave you all that I had in me
I tried and I tried to be what you wanted me to be
You´ve lost all my hope
There is no way to survive
I wanna feel again safe by your side
But you are so far, you are so far away from me, so far away…
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far away
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far
And now you´re so far away from me
No, no, no, no, no more Corona
No, no, no, no, no more Corona
Outside, I wanna go outside
I wanna hug everyone I see
I wanna feel the air outside these walls
I wanna live like I, I use to do before Corona time
I wanna fly away and dance all night
Tonight I wanna feel you by my side
Drinks up, hands up close to one another again
Drinks up, hands up keep on smiling back at me
Drinks up, hands up we´ll be dancing once again
Drinks up, hands up keep on living to this beat
Can you hear me? I just wanna breath!
We´ll always be, stronger than this fear.
No, no, no, no, no more Corona
No, no, no, no, no more Corona
In my heart, I wanna feel again that I´m alive
I don´t wanna hear anymore lies
I´ve had enough of these lock downs
Drinks up, hands up close to one another again
Drinks up, hands up keep on smiling back at me
Drinks up, hands up we´ll be dancing once again
Drinks up, hands up keep on living to this beat
Can you hear me? I just wanna breath!
We´ll always be, stronger than this fear.
No, no, no, no, no more Corona
No, no, no, no, no more Corona
Every time I turn on news there is only Corona
Every time I turn on news there is only Corona
Every time I turn on news there is only Corona
Can you hear me? I just wanna breath!
We´ll always be, stronger than this fear.
Let me know you
Let me get to know you inside out
Let me feel you
There is much to discover
Our water flows in and out
Our minds go even higher
Let me show you what love is all about
In the fire
In the fire
Are you too weak?
Can you keep up with my desire?
In the fire
In the fire
Are you too weak?
Can you keep up with my desire?
Let me know you
Let me hold you
Let me get to know you inside out
Let me feel you deep in my heart
Our bodies know where´s the heaven
Our minds go away forever
Let me show you all that words can never say, oh…
In the fire, in the fire, in the fire…
In the fire
In the fire
Are you too weak?
Can you keep up with my desire?
In the fire
In the fire
Are you too weak?
Can you keep up with my desire?
In the fire
Let me show you …
I should have put a bullet in your brain, in your brain, in your brain.
I should have put a bullet in your brain, in your brain, in your brain.
There´s no power stronger than the voice of a broken heart
With every hit from you I will make you a thousand rhymes
Don´t hurt me with the truth ´cause I don´t wanna ever know
Let this love be more than all there is to know
Shut up, shut up, shut up…
I should have put a bullet in your brain, in your brain, in your brain.
I should have put a bullet in your brain, in your brain, in your brain.
I keep on loving every day we´re together
But it´s getting harder to stay, to hope for better
I´m not ready to let go
I´m not ready to leave the show
Don´t hurt me with the truth ´cause I don´t wanna ever know
Let this love be more than all there is to know
I can´t take it, I can´t take it, I can´t take it…
Shut up, shut up, shut up…
I can´t take it, shut up, shut up…
There´s no power stronger than the voice of a broken heart
There´s no power stronger than the voice of a broken heart
There´s no power stronger…
I can´t take it, I can´t take it…
There´s no power stronger than the voice of a broken heart

„the Workers Song – Medifuck“ je pjesma koju je Sonja napisala kao parodiju koja kritikuje koroporcije i managere tj. njihov način ophođenja prema radnicima – uposlenicima. Sonja je željela skrenuti pažnju na zdravstvene i psihičke probleme koje uzrokuje svakodnevno maltretiranje na radnom mjestu. Posebno je željela ukazati na probleme sa kojima se i dalje često žene susreću u poslovnom okruženju, te stereotipima i sexualiziranju žena na radnim mjestima. >> Pročitajte više o Sonji James <<
Pjesma “Poslije tebe” je prva kantautorska pjesma koju je Sonja Schmitz objavila. Pjesma govori u mladenačkoj nesretnoj ljubavi, te pogleda na istu godinama kasnije. Video za pjesmu je snimljen u novembru 2010 godine u Tuzli i objavljen u Bosni i Hercegovini. Video potpisuje Vizart produkcija na čelu sa producentom Damirom Pirićem i direktorom fotografije Samirom Neimarlija.
