In the band where I currently play, we are practicing for a gig in January and among others, we want to play this song. It really stuck with me and so I recorded it.

This is a cover of Why still bother by Itchy (Poopkidz), a band from the small town where I'm studying. The breakdown is a cover of a cover: The russian band SRVVRS made a metal cover of Imagine Dragon's "Roots" (from the very early days) which I found cool and implemented part of it.

tumblr exclusive! Lyrics under cut

The basis for this song is Besa me, a spanish Bossa nova. I wrote it shortly after returning to germany from my semester in spain. For the chord progression, I thankfully got help from a talented pianist and am very content with how it turned out.

This song unites the bittersweet sentiment of connecting over pain and the positive instrumental vibes.

Five years ago (29 May 2020), I created the account rainbow playlists. This was the first song I uploaded on the channel that was mainly created to curate my music taste and create a library of music respecting LGBTQIA+ people.

Since then reviewed over 1900 songs and sorted them into categories from "respecting the plus" to "banlist".

With my own music, I mainly focused on my "Slowheal" song-cycle accompanying my mental health journey.

Since I was a kid I loved cars. I still am fascinated by the technology, but I hate individual traffic and how they evolved to be less efficient and a status symbol for the rich and dumb instead.

Glatteis by Nina Chuba is a breakup song and Carsick by K.Flay is self-explanatory.

And I thought to myself: What a beautiful world

This song was basically revealed to me line by line on a walk in January. I had a great view on the surrounding woods, it was a warm windy day.

You may know by now that I love Bring me the Horizon for their energy, but I completely disagree with the line "Fuck your faith" in Crooked young. Denying someon's core beliefs, someone's faith is not ok. That's why I decided to rewrite the song with opposing meaning.

And what would be more fitting than No Ordinary love by Memphis may fire as the final note?

This song is as much about religion and healing as it is about politics. It's a call for love and action, for forgiveness and revolution.

Sadly, this audio is not available on soundcloud because it's too long for my upload volume. That's also the reason why I posted it in two parts. But another, shorter song will be online there soon.

This song was written in a time where I felt sad and uninspired to create something of my own, so I just threw together a bunch of loops from the library. In the end, I took inspiration from Andrew Huang and arranged them to resemble modular synthesizers (at least a bit).

All songs from this album were written and produced in spain with inspiration from the music and feelings there. Since I didn't have a studio but only my laptop and headphones in a small flat room, I wasn't content with the quality and removed most of the songs from the album again.

Beastboi is a german Youtuber and rapper. I adore his energetic rap. The instrumental was written with my ex-girlfriend who once went to a "rap course". Well, you can hear my thoughts about that in the song. Lyrics and more information are in the description on Soundcloud.

Here is track number 4:

This is also inspired by a german rapper, namely AK AusserKontrolle feat. Bonez MC. But since I am a big fan of public and emission free transport, I changed to lyrics from "In meinem Benz" to "Mit meinem Rad" (with my bycicle).

I don't know how to share

This has been my life motto since middle school and I haven't found a more comforting sentence since.

I tried to write a positive song without disregarding the hopelesness life can bring.

Also, I just now saw Alligatoah life, so please enjoy this video of me rapping along at the top of my lungs to "Musik ist keine Lösung" (music is not a solution):
