"Simple and calm" is how I describe my first short album, "The Fool on the Hill." No complicated instrumentation, a simple guitar sound, and clear, straightforward drums that support the content of the vocals at various points.
Riding in My Head
is a song from my book "Secret Gun," the name of a horse and rider that simply ran me over on the side of the road near Munich in 2011. That was the beginning of my second life as an author and singer-songwriter.
God Is Dead
is inspired by a song I heard two years ago in 2011 at an outdoor festival with live music from young girls on stage. They crooned a melodic song whose content was the exact opposite of my chorus: "God is dead, he never exists, he only was listed in the virtual program of the world."
destroyers
is the result of my experiences with internet service hotlines, which I don't mean to warn against with this title, but rather suggest that they should probably leave it alone. If you think that sounds rather cheeky or even arrogant, as you could just as well tell me I should give up making music, then you may be absolutely right.
the fool on the hill
is experimental, which means that this short piece also addresses a serious underlying idea. The taboo question of whether the end of life is always fatal, and why it is so taboo to bring about this end yourself.
blue house
is a disco that I regularly visited about thirty years ago, in 1983, when I still felt young.
All of my songs have a serious quality, which prompts me to wish you a lot of fun listening and to turn a blind eye to my English.
