Songs just als Piano &amp; Voice EP ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Seine simmernde (und teilweise auch angrenzend nervt\u00f6tende!) Stimme funktioniert darin ganz fantastisch; und treibende Popsongs wie <em>Some Loud Thunder<\/em> werden pl\u00f6tzlich sch\u00f6n und ruhig und fl\u00fcssig wie Wasser.<\/p>\n<p>Wie so viel gute Musik entstand auch diese EP w\u00e4hrend der Pandemie:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Backstory here: Piano was my first instrument (piano at 7, guitar at 13) and many CYHSY songs originated with piano and voice and then the pandemic forced some spare time during which I rearranged practically all CYHSY songs for piano and\/or guitar\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, sitting down at the piano and traveling back into my work was a renewal of sorts and I discovered that I really enjoyed the new arrangements (I have always been interested in creative tear downs of this sort\u2014to the foundation as it were, provided that the songs actually have a strong foundation).<\/p>\n<p>The songs kept the original flavor but also provided something maybe a little more expansive for me that helped me get to the heart of what I had intended (beyond that they be fun, etc). Also, other people have said they can actually understand my lyrics in this form which is a good thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Keine Ahnung, wie vertrauensw\u00fcrdig dieses Zitat ist, das ich nur auf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/indieheads\/comments\/193h7h3\/fresh_ep_clap_your_hands_say_yeah_piano_voice\/\">Reddit<\/a> gefunden habe, aber es w\u00e4re ja nachvollziehbar. <em>In This Home on Ice<\/em>, der sch\u00f6nste CYHSY-Song, ist auch dabei, und jetzt am besten einfach anh\u00f6ren: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/intl-de\/album\/5RIaMtbUbs0Pb2tHAzxwer?si=jq22lxsAQiiGbzsihqcpCA\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/de\/album\/piano-voice-ep\/1720396773\">Apple Music<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wqrVNVNSysU\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immer mal wieder schreibe ich hier auch \u00fcber Musik \u2013 das f\u00fchlt sich immer so herrlich nostalgisch an.
