kettcar was…stunning, crazy, great. the played in front of an audience of about 200 but it seemed to be the gig of their life – playing balu as their every-time close, then coming back on stage announcing that “this is the first time for us ever to play balu and then still come back and keep playing”. when on stage their lead singer said something that stuck – it made up to the sense of “why save all our life, live it”. i know those messages are common in concerts, where nobody has to take any responsibility after the last chord has been played – but this time, there with astrid, uta, axel and tommy, it just stuck and struck me: i sometimes feel i have accepted way too many responsibilities in my life already and then just a chosen few actually understand what i mean by that, what i have seen and done and why i happen to be the person i am today. why i sometimes stay up late, why i have to because it’s the best time to think, to vent my thoughts, to let these things come out. my days seem to be way too hectic to really think, so there’s the nights – i’ve always loved them, especially in sweden and finland.
du vergisst, was du weißt
in dem Gefühl, wir wären eins
und du vergisst, wie du heißt
I believe.
