15. Naked in a Snowstorm (II) . . Some lines about my musicI'm a singer/songwriter. I try to create art in everything I do creatively. That is my first and my last premise. I'm not interested in anything else.When I started making music, I tried to write songs the audience liked. I tried to create certain harmonies and to evoke certain emotions. The results were mediocre at best. Many people seem to be satisfied with this kind of mediocrity, as musicians and as listeners. They make music or listen to it because it tickles their emotions in some pleasant way. They use music as background tapestry or as a distraction. Just listen to the radio, it's full of superficial music like that. You find it in every genre, from Folk to Heavy Metal.Luckily, I outgrew this phase. When I write a song today, I am led by something deeper than emotions or thoughts about fame, the audience or acceptance. I forget myself in such moments. I am not important anymore. What is happening or not happening with the song in the future is not important anymore. The only thing that counts is honesty towards the moment, honesty towards the creative impulse. When I'm able to keep this honesty, it leads me to myself and beyond myself at the same time. It leads me to truth. And when I'm able to translate this truth - at least partially - into words, melodies and chords, the result is art.Art is deeper than arts and crafts. Art touches on something we don't know anything about, it touches on the unknown, the mystery. Art doesn't tickle our emotions in some pleasant and superficial way, it dives beneath the surface and grabs us right by our hearts. Art leads us to ourselves, it doesn't distract us from ourselves, it's not entertainment. Even though it can be more entertaining than everything else. Even more entertaining than sex. But art can also be very unpleasant, very uncomfortable. It may point directly to the very thing we don't want to see or don't want to feel right now. Art can be very painful. And yet - or just because of that - it makes us feel alive.There are two situations in my life in which I feel more alive than usual: when I'm writing a song or performing one on stage. Both situations scare the shit out of me and both situations are the most rewarding occupations I've ever come across. Art is my biggest fear and my biggest passion. It gives me liveliness, but also vulnerability, humbleness and pain. The thought of surrendering to it again and again scares me and makes me confident at the same time. It is the biggest adventure I can dream of.I'm afraid I can't say much more about my music, sorry.Listen to it, read the lyrics and judge for yourself.Bremen, July 2006Tim Solo
