about

In the covid period there was no live music and as a musician you miss playing the music, but also the audience misses the energy of a live gig and of enjoying together the music.

lyrics

At least the music is live

So when there is no tomorrow.
And everything goes down the drain.
You can listen to the silence.
And the sadness will remain.
But do you feel the heart beat.
The blood is running through your veins.
Can you feel your body and it wants to move again

Music is hope well.
Music is life.
Music is freedom.
Music survives.
It brings you back home.
And It turns on the lights.
Even when there is no tomorrow.
At least the music is life.

So when there is no more answer.
Just the violence and pain.
Another hopeless situation.
Or a new political game.
Now can you see the sunshine.
Let a newborn get a name.
With just the sound of silence.
Everything will stay the same.

Music is hope well.
Music is life.
Music is freedom.
Music survives.
It brings you back home.
And It turns on the lights.
Even when there is no tomorrow.
At least the music is life.

If you cant stand all the trouble.
The poor people they pay.
The rich are earning double.
There should be another way.
But with so much to worry.
You deserve a little sound.
Something that keeps you dancing.
And moves the world around.

Music is hope well.
Music is life.
Music is freedom.
Music survives.
It brings you back home.
And It turns on the lights.
Even when there is no tomorrow.
At least the music is life.

The new album Honesty of the hopeful is an ode to everyone who makes the best of life in an honest way and does not give up. The melodies on Honesty of the Hopeful are simple and hook into the themes of the lyrics, sometimes energetic and enthusiastic, sometimes tragic and compelling.
Americana, Folk, Alt-Country with a bit of Soul. ... more
