Reimschema: ABAB Wir wissen alle nicht, wieviel Zeit uns bleibt.

What's in your garden? These lyrics name seven types of flowers. All seven can be found in nature. If you are an admirer of nature, you may recognize some of these names. I thought it would be interesting to give these flowers agendas. I tried to match each flower's name with a hot-topic social issue.

Der vergebliche Versuch, einen persönlichen Verlust in Worte zu kleiden und so dem Sinnlosen einen Hauch von Sinn zu verleihen

Nur ein Lächeln von dir macht mich schon an. Ich kann nichts dafür, bin auch nur ein Mann. Ist das jetzt ein Traum oder ist es wahr? Du machst mich so was von an, Anika.

This song is about keeping it secret that there was a spark of love in the air, even though he was in a relationship that time. That secret is just representative for a couple of secrets that are symbolically hiding under the narrator’s hair. I was seeing the narrator from a woman’s perspective. The atmosphere can be mystical, intimate, energetic, souly, warm. I was pretty much inspired by Jorja Smith while writing it. So genrewise I would see it in an indipop, alternative soul direction. The structure is a really easy pop structure, which could be extended by repeating the first verse and the chorus or just the chorus multiple times. Enjoy the process!
