Cimarron ist ein stilles, poetisches Lied über Verlust, Erinnerung und das Bleiben – während jemand anderes gegangen ist. Der Text erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der allein in der Weite des Landes zurückbleibt, irgendwo außerhalb von Cimarron. Er spricht nicht direkt zur verlorenen Liebe, sondern an einen imaginären Boten – jemand, der ihr begegnen könnte.

Die Sprache ist schlicht und dennoch voller Bilder: staubige Stiefel, alte Flussbetten, Mesquite-Bäume und der Duft der Dämmerung. Der Schmerz ist da, aber nie dramatisch. Statt Vorwürfen spürt man stille Akzeptanz, ein tiefes Nachklingen der Liebe, die nicht mehr brennt, aber auch nie ganz erloschen ist.

Das Lied erinnert an alte Westernballaden – aber mit einer modernen, feinfühligen Stimme. Es geht nicht um das große Finale, sondern um das, was bleibt, wenn niemand mehr hinsieht: ein Name in einer Pappel, ein Schatten im Abendlicht, ein Mann, der den Sonnenuntergang anschaut, ohne ihn zu fühlen.


Cimarron is a quiet, poetic song about loss, memory, and staying behind while someone else has moved on. It tells the story of a man left alone in the wide, open land - somewhere just outside of Cimarron. He doesn’t speak directly to his lost love but addresses an imagined passerby, someone who might see her on the road.

The language is simple yet rich in imagery: dusty boots, dried riverbeds, mesquite trees, and the scent of dawn. The pain is present, but never loud. Instead of blame, there’s quiet acceptance - a lingering echo of love that no longer burns, but never fully died.

The song feels like a modern western ballad - gentle and cinematic. It’s not about the dramatic farewell, but about what remains when no one’s watching: a name carved in cottonwood, a shadow stretching at sunset, a man who watches the sun go down and doesn’t feel it fall.

„What Do You Say?“ ist ein lässiger, mitreißender Song über den Moment, in dem man einfach alles aufs Spiel setzen will – für einen Blick, ein Lächeln, ein spontanes Abenteuer zu zweit. Zwischen Kick und Unsicherheit, Leichtsinn und Sehnsucht fragt der Song mit einem Augenzwinkern: Warum nicht einfach loslaufen, ohne Plan, ohne Garantie? Die Musik ist direkt, charmant und voller Energie – wie ein Gespräch, das plötzlich alles verändert.


“What Do You Say?” is a playful, heartfelt song about taking a chance—on a glance, a spark, a maybe. It captures that electric moment when you throw caution to the wind and ask, “Why not?” With no promises and no guarantees, it’s all about diving in, just to see where the road leads. Upbeat, charming, and full of spirit, this track feels like a spontaneous late-night run with someone who just might change everything.

What do you say?

“Little Red Sweater” is a heartfelt country ballad about love lost and the small things that still hold big memories. With acoustic guitar, soft harmonies, and a melody that lingers like the scent of a favorite shirt, this song tells the story of a man who stumbles upon his ex’s red sweater—her favorite—folded away in a box. It’s not just fabric; it’s the last thread to a love he never truly let go of. Emotional, simple, and honest—this one’s for anyone who’s ever held on to something that still feels like home.

„Meins“ – ein Song für alle, die sich selbst manchmal im Weg stehen.

Zweifel im Kopf, Podcast zum Einschlafen, und dann plötzlich dieses eine Lächeln, das alles verändert.
„Meins“ ist eine leise Hymne für die Unsicheren, für die Grübler und für die, die trotzdem noch an Zeichen glauben.

Ein Song zwischen Sonnenstrahl und Schatten, zwischen „Was wäre wenn“ und „vielleicht ja doch“.
Klar, man wartet oft zu lang – aber wenn’s kommt, erkennt man’s. Und manchmal reicht schon ein Blick.

„Meins“ erzählt davon, wie aus einem flüchtigen Moment ein ganzes Gefühl wird.
Zart, ehrlich und mit einem Augenzwinkern.

Danke für dein Lächeln. Nehm ich. Meins.


“Meins” – a song for everyone who sometimes stands in their own way.

Doubt on your mind, podcasts to fall asleep, and then – suddenly – a smile that changes everything.
Meins is a quiet anthem for the overthinkers, the uncertain ones, and those still secretly waiting for a sign.

It’s a song caught between sunshine and shadows, between what if and maybe this time.
Sometimes we wait too long – but when the moment comes, you just know.
And sometimes, all it takes is a look.

Meins is about how one fleeting second can become a whole feeling.
Honest, tender – and with a little wink.

Thanks for the smile. I’ll take it. Mine.

Meins
