accepting finished pleasure realised school suddenly took true
At some point, when I finished school in Zurich, I suddenly realised that I was nobody. I couldn't find a shape. Everything I was had been invented. Initially, I took it to be a fundamental conflict. But today I find pleasure in accepting that this thing called 'identity' is the true invention. There's no way that it really exists.
belong belongs beyond borders clear heard music occurred simply swiss
I don't know what Swiss musicians need to do to be heard beyond the borders of their own country. It was always clear to me that I belong everywhere, that music belongs everywhere. It simply never occurred to me that I had to limit myself to a country.
music trivial
Music is not simply an orchestration of something, but it's also not something as trivial as honesty.
With songs one invents a world that wouldn't exist otherwise. And in that world you can be more than you actually are.
exist lied maybe music possibly quite
I lied a lot when I was a kid. Somehow, I still do this today, but maybe in another way - not quite as ridiculously clumsily as I used to. But still, I think making music has a lot to do with it. One invents something that one can't possibly be. With songs, one invents a world that wouldn't exist otherwise.
baby call connection constantly crying music myspace profile pushed reaction word wrote
I once wrote on my MySpace profile that music is never authentic. It was a reaction to constantly reading the word 'authentic' in connection with bands. But what does that mean? A baby crying after being pushed out of its mother's womb, now that's what I'd call authentic.
bad intense love
I love such an intense lifestyle. I feel bad otherwise.
exist history home
Home is where I am. Sadly, I don't need a history to be able to exist somewhere.
