My songs and videos range from small human stories to big epic stories and are all powerful pleadings for appreciating, loving and caring for each other. I am convinced that everything that is alive deserves to be respected. If we manage to love life and no longer take its beauty for granted, we won’t be able to kill another life any longer.
My stories are an expression of this desire, they should move, make people tangible and bring a bunch of empathy into the world.
All this can be found in my song/video “The Lost Tail”. It deals with the inseparability of two basic human needs: our need to connect with the world around us as much as our necessity to tell stories to each other. Actually both seem fragile and endangered in todays world. Our deepest desire no longer remembers how much our ability to feel happiness depends on how naturally our ‚animal nature’ is able to connect with the world around us.
Animals use their tail to feel at home in their movements, their expressions, their body. We have largely lost these ways of remembering ourselves. What if we finally remembered? We would feel the pain of this loss.
All the tales that led to this would have to be told, real words, felt life would break out of us and with every memory we would connect deeper and deeper with the world body, as much as with our own.
We would carry out the old movements that have always created connectedness. We would speak the old words that only sound when they are spoken together. We would sing the songs that resonate from our bones.
The Lost Tail is all about that. Remembering the loss. Reconnecting with the nature inside of us all.
I support organizations such as “Doctors Without Borders” with my concerts and want to be a voice for all those who contribute to creating a greater awareness of the importance of a healthy, networked, free and peaceful Mother Earth.
My audience is invited to win back their own voice and take back their own body. There is nothing better! Being able to be fully yourself and at the same time being part of the big picture is my invitation!
