Goodbye

Goodbye [The journey is the reward EP]

driving indie rock with heart – “butterfly” blends powerful energy with a deeply personal message. with “butterfly”, SONNHALTER ushers in the album era of “change” with an energetic indie/alternative rock track that marries personal depth with driving dynamics. the song is dedicated to his newborn child – a moving reflection on love, letting go, and the strength to always be there for one another. musically, “butterfly” fuses uptempo pop-rock with jam-band energy and subtle jazztronic colors. the result: powerful, raw, and deeply touching – a bold sound that pulls you in from the very first second.

Change

Butterfly

with “you’re not alone”, SONNHALTER releases a sincere, comforting indie rock song about friendship, support, and compassion in difficult times. the track combines understated production with empathetic, directly addressing lyrics – a musical promise: you are not alone.
the song balances melancholic comfort with subtle hope – sonically somewhere between snow patrol, david gray, and keane, yet shaped by SONNHALTER’s unmistakable voice: personal, honest, and unpretentious.
“i can’t turn the night into the day – but i’m there for you” – this line captures the heart of the song: not trying to fix everything, but choosing to be present, to feel with someone, to endure together. “you’re not alone” is musical companionship – calm, authentic, and deeply human.

You're not alone

Long gone

Long gone [The journey is the reward EP]

Imagine running into someone you haven’t seen in ages. You’re genuinely happy to see them – and then you realize the feeling isn’t mutual.
“Hello anyway” dives into that moment: a fleeting reunion, warm on one side, indifferent on the other. SONNHALTER turns this quiet disappointment into strength – not by denying it, but by embracing it with grace. Even when connection fades, memory doesn’t lose its beauty.
With the voice of a songwriter drawn to the human truth in imperfect moments, SONNHALTER reflects on what once was – with clarity, without bitterness, and without illusion. A brief encounter becomes a quiet statement: I remain open. I stay kind. And I say: “Hello anyway.”
