"Moments Of Sonder" is a concept album around the phenomenon of "sonder", an instant realization that every person has a life as complex and complicated as your own. 

I invite you to walk through the city of your dreams with me: We will look up the high rises and wonder what lives unfold behind the millions of windows. We will walk down to the subway and go on a ride with Mellon Collie. We will meet amazing people and hear wonderful and sometimes difficult stories, we will briefly listen in while passing by and then move on. I hope that you will find your own moment of sonder in the music.

当最后两个流浪汉在冬天告别 
当跛脚的地铁疲惫于互相追逐 半个街道的垃圾袋相拥，沉思在路沿 饥饿的情侣捻灭呻吟的烟头，开始吞噬对方 一个流浪的灵魂倚靠在竹杖上 挨家挨户地敲门 却被关在门外 当台灯在眩晕的窗户里闭上眼睑 当霓虹灯伸出裸露的指头 抚慰冰凉的路沿，那儿 有一群大学生你推我嚷， 啤酒瓶摔成一地破碎的 誓言

Hello brain
It's been a while
Hello grey matter
Life never tasted any better

So many things we do
Look at this mess
Good news is:
If we did it, we can undo it
We can unscrew it
If you're up to it
We can see this through

We can love and respect and protect and connect
We can see, we can feel, we can let it be and agree
We can allow different world views
Kung Fu, Zulu, Voodoo, Urdu
We can choose not to subdue

Hello white matter
Come on, let's try this
Life never tasted any better

Eins, zwei, drei, vier …

We've been here before
It's written in history books and it looks like
Once more
We live through the documentary I've seen on the telly
The is hell
We seem to be unable to learn

I was born in a country with a horrible past
And there's so many countries where the dread still lasts
They say it's human nature
We make a horrible cast

Before (feat. Neli CoKo)

Dieser Moment, in dem man plötzlich den ganzen Weltschmerz fühlt.
Überwältigend.
Tränen auf den Wangen.
Schon als Kind.
Jedes Mal: "Was ist los? Was ist passiert?
Nichts. Alles.
Ich hatte keine Worte dafür.
Ich hatte keine Worte …

This is for what I longed
Infinity beyond
A place in space that cannot be outrun

Oh, life’s a coincidence

So many songs are sung
From billionaire to slum
A sinus curve connecting everyone

So what are the criteria?
Who decides if you were born in Munich or in Syria?
If you meet an educator
Or have to flee from a dictator
Who gets to be the commentator
And who’s assigned as perpetrator?
Mediator, detonator?
Violator, litigator?

This is where I belong
Infinity beyond
A place in space that cannot be outrun

Yeah, life’s a coincidence
It takes a lot of resilience
So does my luck fuck up someone else’s life?
Is my birth worth to amplify the overdrive?

So what are the criteria?
Who decides if you were born in Munich or in Syria?
If you meet an educator
Or have to flee from a dictator
Who gets to be the commentator
And who’s assigned as perpetrator?

Oh, life’s a coincidence
Life’s a coincidence

This is where the maps stop
All is covered in pearl
We pass through the light and dark and
I can hear the world

Your soul is perforated
Cannot recognize a/your face
My soul is perforated
We’re dissipating in space

This is where the chat stops
All is coated in pearl
We pass through the mind and heart and
I can see the world

Don’t you know that you’re …

There’s two rivers within myself
Stretching towards eternity

Your soul is perforated
Cannot recognize a/your face
My soul is perforated
We’re dissipating in space

(He Änn, also es ist so:
Ich bin heute morgen aufgewacht
Mit tausend Gedanken was ich sagen will.
Und die nächste Nachricht ist dann nur
Meine Antwort auf die Frage:
“Wann fühlst du dich leicht und frei?”
… Wenn ich auf einem Berg stehe.
… Wenn meine Augen Weite sehen können.
… Tief im Wald mit meinen Freunden.
… When I listen to music and feel the sun on my skin.
… Wenn meine innere Leere die ganze Welt umspannt.)

Stretching towards eternity

Your soul is perforated
Cannot recognize a/your face
My soul is perforated
We’re dissipating in space

Perforated

Estoy rodeada DE GENTE pero dejo de escuchar, solo oigo el tren como en 2a línea, el crujir del tren, el silbido de los raíles y mi respiración a todo volumen, en un aire extrañamente ralentizado: UN FRENAZO, el vacío de la línea R y mi respiración flotando en el espacio, flotando en el tiempo, flotando en el universo, el sistema solar, el milky way y la galaxia, y en medio de la nebulosa infinita: TÚ.
Allí estás tú, al otro lado del vagón, de la calle, al otro lado de la vida, al otro lado de la noche, al otro lado. Leyendo ese pequeño librito que te han dejado.

Our dreams are set on fire
So many stories to inspire
They enclose us
As we yearn

The feelings raw and wired
So many outcomes to desire
Well, they know our
Stories burn

Unknowing you are everything
Invisible naked ties
Raging inside a hurricane
A cut-off and unleashed kite
While sensing the lives of everywhere
You don’t need no wings to fly, fly, fly
In the year of sonder

Our dreams are set on fire
So many stories to inspire
They enclose us
As we yearn

Unknowing you are everything
Invisible naked ties
Raging inside a hurricane
A cut-off and unleashed kite
While sensing the lives of everywhere
You just need the will to fly
Nothing we can’t do
In the year of sonder

We’re on our way
It’s the year of sonder

Year Of Sonder

Bleeding stars light up the sky
Prodigies and beasts are bidding their good-bye
And I see the rising of the hollow signs of doubt
Want to believe, want to believe
There’s love beneath

So I close my eyes
And I say to myself:
“Love, you know how to stabilize.”
And I unfold my mind:
“There’s no heaven, there’s no hell, love
There’s no fortunes left to tell.”

Oh, I’ll be eating up the sorrows
I’ll turn the frowns around
Hope to see the growing signs of doubt just going down

So I close my eyes
And I say to myself:
“Love, you know how to stabilize.”
And I unfold my mind:
“Quit the stories and get well, love
There’s no fortunes left to tell.”

We all live complicated lives
And we all sometimes just want to hide
So many fates in the high-rise
They’re unknown, un-shown, hand-sewn, full-blown and grown

Bleeding stars light up the skies
Prodigies and beasts are bidding their good-bye
And I see the rising of the hollow signs of doubt
Want to believe, want to believe
There’s love beneath
