Tuesday Tunes | Wir sind Helden

wir sind helden has been one of my favourite bands for many years. i saw them live for the first time when i was 13 and have loved them ever since. judith holofernes, the singer writes extremely intelligent, funny and thoughtful lyrics. 

this song i am sharing today only started to appeal to me recently. i have been feeling quite homesick and a bit lost and the words of this song (it is titled 'bring me home') perfectly capture those feelings. 

happy tuesday.

Tuesday Tunes | James Bay

after some time of absence (writer's block is a thing apparently) i am back with some music i have been listening too lately. i know that james bay is by no means a new discovery but i am finally jumping on the bandwagon!
as i have written about, i ran a half marathon on the first of november and james bay's album chaos and the calm was a great companion throughout my training sessions.
it is difficult to pick just one song so here is two of my favourites:

i find it deeply inspiring how much emotion, how much sound and melody this guy can create with just his voice and a guitar.
hopefully you all have a lovely tuesday!

Tuesday Tunes | Stornoway

exactly one week ago it was my birthday and i had the most wonderful day. started by a run along the canal and the first song i listened to was this. this song oozes so much happiness and it was the perfect beginning to the day and a good motivation for the rest of the week where i did a lot of studying accompanied by many many cups of coffee. 

i listen to this song again today as it is my exam day and i hope that i will describe it as perfect also! wish me luck :)

Tuesday Tunes | Matt Simons

                                                             we do not remember days

                                                             we remember moments.

Tuesday Tunes I Tommy Emmanuel

in june i spent a bit of time back home in germany. one really hot sunday my dad, a good friend of ours and i drove to freiburg to a music festival to see the world's best guitarist (according to eric clapton): tommy emmanuel. 

and i have to say eric clapton did not exaggerate - it was the best concert i have ever been to. despite being sat in a tent in 38° degrees heat the music was so mesmerising that i completely forgot about how much i was sweating. tommy emmanuel is not only incredibly skilled, he has a way of playing that just takes you to different worlds and made me soul soar.

if you ever have the chance to see this guy live - do it.

tuesday tunes.... another round.

i've been enjoying the warmth (heat) and the (mostly) consistent good weather back home in germany.
but today the sun wasn't shining. the sky was black and the evening brought heavy rain.
a perfect day for a cuppa and some amazingly beautiful music.
oh those marvellous voices and this delicate english accent.
i'm swooning.

tuesday tunes #2

my best friend simone shared this song with me a couple of weeks ago,

and i looked for more songs of this amazing band, but so far only found one.

can't wait to hear more of their music. great summer tunes.

every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.             -goethe

here is one little song. 

it makes me ridiculously happy and gives me this feeling of being excited and full of anticipation. for future projects. for the summer. for freedom.

i hope you all have a great day filled with poetry, art and sensible, encouraging words.
