I added a few pictures from my first ever live gig with “getting up every morning†at Kaffee Burger in Berlin. I didn’t play all of the 103 songs – for various reasons – but played over two thirds of my material. I hope to find the time to make a little video from the gig and put it up here soon. From my website: In early 2007 I wasn’t doing too well and in order to find a way to hold myself together I started writing one song every night and posted it on my site . Shortly afterwards I also opened this myspace page, since I didn’t want to be alone yet didn’t want to share myself with anybody I knew personally. Starting on February the 12th, I wrote 103 songs altogether. I like all the songs, from the very first one to the very last. I am mildly embarrassed by my voice on a few of them, but hey. And even though I really don’t remember how to play most of them, the lyrics I remember all too well.
“I am getting up every morning. And so are you.â€
This was the opening line I had in my head if I would ever do a live performance of my material. It never happened. Or it hasn’t happened so far – you never know. Some people asked me to release the songs on a CD – but I wonder why, since they are here already. Some people asked me to perform live – but as much as I love these songs, I almost love them too much to perform them. One thing I did do was wrapping all the songs into one ZIP file for people to download on my site (including track numbers and cover pictures for most of the songs). By the way – while you are at it: I am happy to hear from you, please feel free to comment on the songs...
