I am just a singer,
a humble bringer,
and love everything
that makes my spirit sing.
With my songs,
in my heart I embrace them,
the melody of the country,
the melody of the city,
the big and small stories within,
the melodies of the people,
and layer upon layer I spin.
I collect them,
the songs we steal from life,
the songs commanding joy and strife.
[Chorus]
I am just a singer,
a seeker,
a revenant,
I am just a singer,
who goes out into the world,
and returns, changed and unfurled.
[Verse 1]
If I had to kiss, to dance, to love a thousand times,
that would be a song,
a verse in endless rhymes.
If I had to suffer, to starve, to die a thousand times,
and that was what befell,
that too would be a song to tell.
[Chorus]
I am just a singer,
a seeker,
a revenant,
I am just a singer,
who goes out into the world,
and returns, changed and unfurled.
[Verse 2]
A dream maker,
for the ears, for the head, for the hearts and loins,
a rhythm magician
with invisible coins.
A human being, a healer, an animal,
close to the raging of souls, irrational.
A sailor who saw countries, storms, and mountains of life,
cutting the oceans like a knife.
[Outro]
I am just a singer,
a seeker,
a revenant,
I am just a singer,
who goes out into the world,
and returns, changed and unfurled.
Poetisch und suchend erzählt der Song vom Künstler als Sammler von Geschichten, Gefühlen und Melodien. Aus Liebe, Schmerz, Städten und Stürmen entsteht Musik als Ausdruck des Lebens. Bildstark, frei und nachdenklich.
