about

'I moved to Cologne 3 years ago and the first place I started as an artist was the street. I feel so blessed for this experience as it opened my eyes to the kindness of humanity. The most humbling experience was receiving money in my guitar case from homeless people. It sparked a perspective shift and I saw the homeless as real people like you and I trying their best to navigate through life. This experience inspired 'Excuse Me'.'

lyrics

Excuse me, passer by,
Can you spare some change for a guy like me
Got myself in a pickle, as you can see

Excuse me, don’t be shy
I ain’t here to cause trouble, just to find my way
Through the dark realities of everyday

People stare and walk on past
People sneer, point and laugh
But they don’t know my story
They don’t even think to ask
Why I am, who I am

Excuse me, please don’t judge
I’ve been through an avalanche of disarray
Still got hopes and dreams they’ll never fade away

And I’m sorry, to interrupt
But I’m cold and hungry I can’t feel my toes
Now I’m out of options, and god only knows,

People stare and walk on past
People sneer, point and laugh
But they don’t know my story
They don’t even think to ask
Why I am, who I am

When you walk across the bridge
Stop to look under it
I’ve been through love and pain
Like you, we’re all the same

People stare and walk on past
People sneer, point and laugh
But they don’t know my story
They don’t even think to ask
Why I am, who I am
I’m just a man

Ant Utama Cologne, Germany

My name is Ant Utama, a singer-songwriter from New Zealand, now based in Germany. Back home I worked a 9-5 job in Marketing, in my comfort zone with the security of a steady income. I used to see music as an unattainable dream, but 18 months ago, against the wishes of my parents, I packed up what courage I could fit in a backpack and headed to Germany to follow my heart. ... more
