Tim Benzdko is a likeable young man through and through, which one sounds his passion for music in any of his plays. Barely 28 years old, he does not write pop songs from the retort that there are just to bring money and to satisfy the masses. He writes profound and partly poetic lyrics with catchy melodies, so the songs are not too difficult to digest foods. Tim Bendzko invites with his music to a think about life without herumzuwedeln but with his forefinger. He is as he is, he says what he thinks, even in his interviews. And you take it from him. "Hanging by a Thread" is wonderful German music, playfully captures the zeitgeist and yet has depth.
