I wish you all a happy new year and a healthy, successful and fulfilling start to a new decade!
Already last year I wrote a song at the turn of the year, which was entitled "2019 (I'm starting to feel old)" (I'll definitely let you hear it on occasion).
This year the title is "2020 (Time flies)" ... regardless of whether we really live it or whether life simply passes us by.
2019 was difficult, it was sad and nerve-wracking. I have no idea what the new decade will bring. Whether I will be able to continue to pursue my passion "The simple songs" or whether more existential things will take center stage and I will lack the time and resources to put so much energy into my passion.
I just hope for the best and try to remember that every day has the chance for a new start and I will try to "live well" and not "stand still".
Lyric translation:
Refrain:
Ok ok time flies
Time passes whether you stand still or live well
And I hope there will be something more
Ok ok time flies
Time passes whether you stand still or live well
And I hope there will be something more
2020 hey what's up
Not much has changed in 12 months
But there were a few highlights that I have to say
I wrote as much as I did in my prime
and it is probably the lines that are left at the end
I have to admit all simple songs they hold me
and i really find it better than the old shit
only thanks to the music have i not completely frozen to this day
I lost my musical relevance 10 years ago
but that doesn't slow me down i need the beats i need the lines
and in 2019 it shouldn't be much more
but every song was a milestone for me
and protected me from lining up with lost souls
from a distance I can be seen as a failure
but with my fate I know it's hard to go on
I did so much, maybe I can do a lot more
this life is not fair after all
refrain
like every winter, depression catches up with me
pretty hard this year they didn't want to spare me, no
but you know that now, that's how it was every year
at least I still have the desire to live today
and life dealt out in 2019
took us loved ones, security and also the time
I don't really know how 2020 will go on
and just hope - that fear fades over time
and my motto is still not going to a clinic
no matter how bad the situation, the suffering can be so huge
I didn't forget they broke me
they almost killed me with their fucking pills
and i hope that misery will soon end
maybe 2020 will be the year that brings me my pension
but I shit on it even if it is not enough to live
hope this sound will last forever
refrain
ok ok time flies
time flies
no matter if you stand still or live

Ich wünsche euch allen ein frohes neues Jahr und einen gesunden, erfolgreichen und erfüllenden Start in ein neues Jahrzehnt!
Bereits letztes Jahr schrieb ich einen Song zum Jahreswechsel, welcher den Titel "2019 (langsam fühl' ich mich alt)" trug (Den lasse ich euch bei Gelegenheit bestimmt auch noch hören).
Dieses Jahr lautet der Titel "2020 (Die Zeit vergeht)"... und zwar unabhängig davon, ob wir sie wirklich leben oder ob das Leben einfach nur an uns vorbeizieht.
2019 war schwierig, es war traurig und nervenaufreibend. Ich habe noch keine Ahnung, was das neue Jahrzehnt bringen wird. Ob ich es schaffen werde, meiner Passion "Den simplen Liedchen" weiterhin so nachgehen zu können oder ob existenziellere Dinge in den Mittelpunkt rücken und mir Zeit und Mittel fehlen werden so viel Energie in meine Leidenschaft zu stecken.
Ich hoffe einfach auf das Beste und versuche mich darauf zu besinnen, dass jeder Tag die Chance für einen Neuanfang bereit hält und werde mir Mühe geben, meine Tage "gut zu leben" und nicht "still stehen zu bleiben".
