Es ist zwar der dritte Advent, aber nicht immer muss ein weihnachtlicher Song auch von Weihnachten handeln. Manchmal braucht es nur ein wenig Jazz & Big Band-Feeling um einen Song weihnachtskompatibel zu machen, unabhängig davon worum es thematisch geht. For english-speaking readers: This is a German rap song about a hairstylist turned rapper, who looks back and wants to go back … Read More
SWIM | They Can See In The Dark – Jim Gray
Weirdly enough, during the now four years of Senseless Wisdom in Music I’ve not done this song, although it’s one I connect with the fondest childhood memories. And many who can remember the song and the TV Series told me the same over the years, as it was a phenomenon back in the days. As the theme song of “The little … Read More
SWIM | Paris – Kate Nash
A new week, a new challenge (or several). There’s always something around the corner, so have a little encouragement song that is, well, about growing up in a sense.

I truly like … Read More

Today I’ve got a more thought heavy song for you, because there hasn’t been a Ben Folds song on a while… 😉 “What will they write about me? What will the version be when all is said and done? Will they remember all of the places seen, the poems lost, Or am I just wondering on? Yeah, I’m just wondering on. … Read More
