about

„When I'm Home“ is about home and origin. On the
one hand, there is a deep connection with the places from childhood, the traditions, the language. On the other hand, you grow out of it and now have to find a new place in everything.
I wanted to bring the familiar sounds of home into the song, and so at the beginning you can hear me walking through my home village and then at the end the church bells ringing at midnight. This sound always fills me with a great sense of security, and it ends the EP after a dream-like outro of noises, spherical voices and sounds.

lyrics

somehow my childhood home
makes me feel all kinds of alone
like a long forgotten ghost
in my knees and in my bones
and there’s no other place
that comforts my soul
it calms all of my storms
and makes me feel whole

when i’m home am i grown

the fights and the regrets
first loves and broken hearts
and all the younger mes
those walls have seen it all
and when i’m coming back
there’s nothing to be found
of who i have become
just my shadow on the ground

woke up there and it had snowed
familiar sound of white
it’d just dreamt of a new love
still felt the comfort of the night
all the answers i had found
in the sweet paralyzed state
i’d forgotten in an instant
all the hours gone to waste

It is a gentle, sincere melancholy, that makes those songs between Indie-Folk and Songwriter-intimacy so touching. ... more
