about

A friend's struggle to find her place in life upset me at the time I wrote this song, while I now realize that all she did was hold a mirror towards my own situation then.

lyrics

"It always makes me nervous how you cope with your life"
that's what he told me on the way to his wife
he might not know me so well
to really get the big picture
but in the end there might be some truth about it

So who is he to know about all my joys
there's oh so many perfect moments I treasure
I can do what I want
at any place I prefer

In a hundred years when I'm gone
I'll be known as the one
you will have met from time to time

Noone will know where I'll be gone
cause I lived on my own
and enjoyed every moment of it

"Don't lie to yourself and take a look at your past"
he goes right on to throw his wisdom at me
why should I someplace
I'm certain it's cold and heartless
While the future holds so many more beauties

I recorded "The Endless Stream Of Everything" to share my love and songs with you. ... more
