Well, its just me: Wolfini!
Hi! This is about my one-person-recording project. After the break-up of my band two years ago, I still feel the urge to write, play and record music, but lack the time for practice etc. to play in a band again. So I write my music, and do my home-recording, and present it here for the world to hear, judge and blame me.

Story behind the song
Rilke´s "Liebeslied" (Love Song) is one of my favourite poems, and I always wanted to make a song out of it. And then I met Mickey....
Lyrics
Liebeslied Wie soll ich meine Seele halten, dass sie nicht an deine rührt? Wie soll ich sie hinheben über dich zu andern Dingen? Ach gerne möcht ich sie bei irgendwas Verlorenem im Dunkel unterbringen an einer fremden stillen Stelle, die nicht weiterschwingt, wenn deine Tiefen schwingen. Doch alles, was uns anrührt, dich und mich, nimmt uns zusammen wie ein Bogenstrich, der aus zwei Saiten eine Stimme zieht. Auf welches Instrument sind wir gespannt? Und welcher Geiger hat uns in der Hand? R. M. Rilke Translation from the net: How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things? I would like to shelter it, among remote lost objects, in some dark and silent place that doesn't resonate when your depths resound. Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two seperate strings. Upon what instrument are we two spanned? And what musician holds us in his hand? Oh sweetest song. Translated by Stephen Mitchell (Thanks :)
