Great vibes! I wish I could go surfing too 😭😭

Imaginary Friend’s second EP reflects upon how our expectations of life change during our twenties, leading us to new maturity. Once believing in the grand love, one soon enjoys the state of being infatuated with a touch of self-irony – well aware that happiness hormones don't always tell the truth. The first track, "Lovestoned," is therefore a completely exaggerated, almost absurd declaration of love that nevertheless celebrates the intoxicating feeling of being in love. Alternatively, one makes peace with the idea of not necessarily becoming the best at something – which is okay as long as you enjoy it, which is what "Courage +1" is about. "Old These Days" takes a disillusioned look behind the facade of career and the performance society, much like many followers of Generation Y do after their initial years in the workforce. "Your Sweetheart" may initially sound like a simple love song, but negotiates the uncertainty that can set in a relationship after the magic of the beginning has faded. The title track, "With You," is a song about both saying goodbye and staying – about how big plans sometimes need to be tossed aside when the heart longs for something else. Finally, "Songbirds" advocates for maintaining one's individuality in a partnership, rather than losing oneself in it – yet still staying connected.

Old These Days

Courage +1

Lovestoned

Cute Girl on Bike - the feel good hit of the summer, but already out in February!

On this single, I have collaborated with Early Retirement from Saabrücken to create the perfect blend of both our styles: Reminiscent of the upbeat, energetic sound of 2000s College Rock anthems with driving drums and catchy hooks on one hand, on the other the playful "Slacker Pop" vibes which give it a dreamy feeling at the same time! This mixed bag of emotions also resonates in the lyrics - are we just chasing after a beautiful girl here or is there more to the story?

About 6 months ago I created this song. I had just moved and everything was kind of new and exciting. I needed to reflect on so many aspects of my life and then this song happened. Originally it was way longer and more hectic in the beginning but I cut it shorter cause it didnt feel right. 

I just mix loops and sing. Thats all. Leave some love if you like what you hear🖤

Reflections

A Song about fearing love and not being ready to open up again. A feeling of being frozen when your hearts not open. 
Lyrics are ispired by Madonnas Song „Frozen“

I like to mix loops and sing. That‘s what I like to do. Leave some love if you like what you hear🖤

Haunted

A song about quiet moments when our thoughts feel loudest. About spending the hottest spring day alone in your apartment. About trying to create art against all odds. About that burning lamppost noone else noticed.
