Ein Blog, der all den kleinen inspirierenden Dingen des Lebens gewidmet ist.
This week I will (start) MOVING to Hamburg. You cannot imagine how nervous I am right now! So, I am in urgent need for some calm-down moments: Finnish singer songwriter Mirja Klippel recently played together with the Danish guitarist Alex Jønsson in Hamburg’s Pohjois-Saksan merimieskirkko (the Finnish Church and School). It was a beautiful and […]

Sometimes a friend recommends you some music and you instantly know that you like it. This is what happened when Jan made me listening to Chuck Ragan’s album Till Midnight. A singer-songwriter, a guitar, a rough voice and even a harmonica… Just the ingredients for a perfect laid-back sound. Have fun while listening! Thank you
Trevor Hall’s music is a wild mix of reggae elements, Sanskrit chanting and acoustic rock. My pal Birte recommended him to me last week and I was instantly hooked by his exciting sound. Those reggae elements somehow fit perfectly with the chants I only knew from my yoga classes before. Have fun while listening! Like

Two weeks ago I was at a Science Slam (did you ever join one?). It was a great experience and I was fascinated about all the crazy stuff one can investigate. But the evening didn’t only offer good old science and funny talks: At the beginning and the end singer-songwriter Hanna Meyerholz presented some of

Okay, now I will write about Milow… Does this mean I have a soft spot for Belgian guys (oooh yes, I definitively have)? Or for cute bald guys (double yes)? Or for congenial singer-songwriters (indeed)? Nevertheless, Milow’s songs sparkle with originality and You and Me makes me still laugh out loud because of its crazy

I cannot believe that I have never written about Damien Rice on this blog. I only have one explanation: Damien Rice is such a singer-songwriter icon for me that it was simply too obvious to write about him. His songs accompanied the last ten years of my life. I danced to them, I sang with

Fink, aka Fin Greenall, is a British multitasking talent: He’s a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and DJ. Currently he lives in Berlin – Kreuzberg. Since my heart is melting for bearded singer-songwriters anyway, I’m smitten by this last fact. Fink’s warm voice does fit perfectly to this autumn feeling that slowly crawls into the last

Singer-songwriters have my full respect: Like an author who is telling a story through his or her novel, they are creating atmospheres with their voices that are touching souls. It’s an art that British singer-songwriter Jake Bugg really rules in. His voice has this certain twist and his songs evoke immediately an understanding for their

A few days ago, I accidentally stumbled over Violetta Parisini’s song Favourite Friend. It simply fitted my current mood and so I looked around for some more music from the Austrian singer-songwriter. And listen to what I found … a nice soundtrack for sunny October days! Have fun while listening! Like always: All credits appear

Iron and Wine’s voice (aka the one of singer-songwriter Sam Beam) you can find on almost every playlist I created during the last years. It just calms me down … or makes me happy and energized. He will play in June in Berlin and I already marked this event with three exclamation marks in my
