“6 Million Minutes” – Original Song
On March 1st hubby and I had our 12 year annniversary. I can’t even imagine that it’s been twelve years since our first date. But I thought there must be a song in this – and turns out, there is…

This is a song, that probably a lot of you can relate to. Well, at least if you’ve ever been doing your own laundry. “Ballad of the Lost” is about a sock that gets lost, presumably in the tumble dryer.

I had a great start into the new year and spent the first weekend of 2019 at a songwriting retreat in the beautiful Waldviertel in Lower Austria.
