Still
Still
The song ist about the resilience of faith in times of adversity. Would you STILL believe, if you are forced to leave your home, if you suffer from dementia or if you loose your love?
Hold onto yourself
Hold onto yourself
This is my latest song (end of 2024) about the habit of us humans to constantly compare ourselves to others. Others are more beautiful, richer, smarter, have more self-confidence. That is a recipe for unhappiness. Be yourself. You will be happier.
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
This song is a little experiment with Apple Loops. I put them together as building blocks in Logic Pro, wrote some lyrics and the song was finished.
Love and Happiness (Cover)

Cover of a song performed by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. Emmylou's part is covered by my wife.
Oh well!
Oh well!

Good love is rare

Funny song about a man who thinks he has found a Brazilian beauty, but who is soon severely disappointed.
Do we really need
Do we really need
A song about the tendency of today's media to focus mainly on the bad news. The worse, the better. Only bad news is good news.
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is a big word. It is used very often, but not everything that is called love is actually love.
Do you really love me
Do you really love me
A song I wrote during a time when I was very unsure whether the woman I loved really loved me.
Oh my brother
Oh my brother
Song about the death of the brother of a relative, who died too early of cancer
I won't get the blues anymore
I won't get the blues anymore
A song from the early 1990s in which I process my frustration about a disappointed love
Hey You
Hey You
a song dedicated to Mark Knopfler, whose music I love and whom I admire very much
If you hold me tight
If you hold me tight
A song about deep trust, blind love, intimate relationship, inspired by a couple, inspired by a couple from my family
Enjoy your life
Enjoy your life
A song about the beauty of the world and nature. There are wonders to be discovered everywhere if you walk through the world with your eyes open. There are also plenty of wonders on our doorstep. You don't have to go to Africa or America to see them.
Serenade
Serenade
This little melody came to me while playing the acoustic guitar. I added a few instruments and percussion to it. A calming piece that invites you to dream.
