 @78c7020b Thanks so much, Jen!  It was one of those days when music saved me. ☺️ 
 Don't you feel that this world is too loud sometimes? I do. This is a song I wrote in 2019 after I'd had a hard day and all I wanted was some peace and quiet. And suddenly this song happened. 

Out on Bandcamp already, coming to streaming services on October 13th.

 Woohoo, 6 of the songs from the Cats & Coffee Cups album are finished! 😀 Brady Jo is an absolutely amazing producer and I feel lucky and grateful I get to work with him! 🙏

 @de617cf9 I guess you right. 😔 
 I rarely, if ever, get political. But yesterday I noticed that Elon shared a post encouraging people to vote for the German right-wing (Nazi) party AFD. 

So far I’ve put up with his nonsense but the AFD is not negotiable. As a German citizen, I can’t ignore it, and certainly can’t tolerate it.

As a consequence I won’t be active on Twitter much. I can’t bring myself to delete my account just yet. But I won’t log in for a very long time if at all.

 The best way to deal with recording vocals? Have fun! Don't think about it too much! You don't need to prove you're a great singer. Just have the time of your life while singing and your voice will start flowing! 

And yes, I just recorded a total fun song! 😀

 Just released the 2nd single from the Cats & Coffee Cups album on Bandcamp! 😊

The song is called Peace & Quiet and was written within half an hour on a day that was just too loud. As so often, writing a song saved me. 🎶🍷

 @627e24a2 It’s kind of difficult to be everywhere at once…😂 
 I bought a few books while I was in France and again today…I used to have a bad conscience about my pile of unread books but not anymore! 😁🙃📚

 @54b144c3 Huh? No, it’s not the guitar that’s overkill. It’s the other instruments….the drums in particular. 
 There’s nothing like acoustic recordings, just a guitar and a voice. 

So often a song gets lost in production but when you listen to the stripped down version, the whole essence, fragility, vulnerability of a song become tangible.

 @58ac6747 I remember a few years ago, it was 26 degrees Celcius in September and everyone was astonished. 

These days it’s the norm. We‘ve had 30 degrees Celcius in September this year. As nice as this is…it worries me. 
 @1c9d4ad4 Nothing. I can’t possibly snack or have coffee while reading. Mainly because I get so absorbed by the book that I forget everything else.

 @1c9d4ad4 Carlos Ruiz Zafón - Angel’s Game . Had it on my pile for several years now and discovered it’s a prequel to Shadows of the Wind which I read but don’t remember exactly…will have to read that one again so it all makes sense.
