Editors at den Atelier, Luxembourg, 09.03.2024 (2)
As always with Editors, it was a great evening. The best I ever had with them? Well… no, not really. The performance gave me no reason to complain, but the order of songs on the setlist didn’t quite work for me. First world problems 😜 Looking forward to a new album (not that there was any mention of one - but then again, Tom hardly talked at all), which will hopefully do more for me than the last one. Not expecting it to replace In Dream as my favorite one though.

This was the final gig of the tour, and Editors were kind enough to call it “a perfect end” on Instagram, though I think it must have been quite the difference playing to about 1200 people after two sold out nights at the Sportspalais in Antwerp (which holds 23.000 people…). The gig had sold out so fast that I had hoped it would actually be upgraded to Rockhal, if only to have a better chance at a front row spot. Well, we made it to the front row on the balcony, which was probably a lot more comfortable (i.e. not quite as hot) than downstairs.
Wings of Desire (supporting Editors) at den Atelier, Luxembourg, 09.03.2024
You may realise that the sound wasn’t the best, and that’s the fact I blame for not enjoying Wings of Desire’s set more. So rather than watching my video, I recommend to give them a listen on Spotify.
This song, “My Heart, Your Love” is a love song between me and the rest of the world. I wrote it to express my appreciation for existing. I hope you love it as much as we do.
Find A Song about the importance of being present in the moment
Adam Harpaz - Those Words You Don’t Mean
„‚Those Words You Don’t Mean‘ is a powerfully poignant anthem for those of you who are or who have been overwhelmed by the subtle space between indecision and ambition; the desire for greatness in too many of your interests can end up spreading you thin and leave you devoid of energy. This can result in you not being present and appreciative through the truly important parts/moments of your life (family, friends, connections, memories); moments you can’t retrieve or recall. Familiar? Relatable? My hope is that this song reaches and inspires you at the right time in your life.“
treibgut ist das aktuelle Soloprojekt der Musikerin und Schauspielerin Nils Svenja Thomas (23 Jahre alt). Das lyrische Deutschpunk-Projekt gliedert sich im Sound irgendwo zwischen den frühen Placebo Alben und modernen Deutschpunkbands wie den Leftovers ein.
Die zweite Single ‚geist‘ ist eine queere Hommage an das sich-selbst-genug-sein im Zwiegespräch mit der personifizierten Einsamkeit.
I wrote this song to remind myself that no matter how crazy life gets, no matter how much I’m struggling to cope, I can always find myself in the mountains. Once you breathe the fresh air and give yourself to the pace of the landscape, you realise how trivial and fleeting so much of the bullshit that gets you down is, and you come back renewed. I wanted to share that feeling so others could find the same calm in the hills that I do.
Find A Song about a break-up and the subsequent personal growth
4Seasons - Handle You
My song ‘Handle You’ features a unique spin on the typical break up songs one might hear on the radio. It segments my story into two halves: the first half being the realization of the situation and the sadness that immediately follows break up, and the second half being the stage of growth, and realization of the true situation you’ve left behind. These two halves don’t only tell a story about my past relationship, but with my life. I’ve been through a lot of challenges in my life that relate directly to this philosophy of “some things must be suffered through, but all things shall pass and time heals all wounds” and I really try to encapsulate this emotion in my track.
