Gerard from Vienna wrote my personal album of 2013. His record reached me emotionally like no other piece of music in the last twelve months. Blue vision is extremely melancholy, but not stagnant, but is optimistic and combative. The album is initially bulky, but at second glance wonderfully catchy. It is very personal, actually been intimate, but in many places at the same time universal. But above all, has one blue view: linguistic brilliance. When I discovered this disc for me, I had often really the Pause button to the on a single line for me to understand and process heard. The special feature of his lyrics is that they are not pathetic. But for everyday use. Examples? Gerard takes the shaft when the mass go with the flow. He wants to gain a foothold, rather than just to keep up. If it 's up to his neck, he is hoping for a hole in the pool. And ultimately the Viennese like many listeners went stupid, but nevertheless arrived. But the contents of the songs are not only due to its good choice of words to describe: Gerard is extremely deep and has a lot to tell. It's funny to think while listening, that this guy is ten years younger than I, and apparently has still plenty more life experience. My absolute number 1 in 2013's Blue view but become, because it has helped me through a difficult phase of life in which I have been trying for a separation and a week-long tunnel vision to regain footing, and have it ultimately managed. Maybe even a small piece thanks to this album, just because it - as it expresses the review of Juice magazine - a plea is, in the drama of love never lose confidence. Furthermore: Through this music, I received answers to questions that I did not get from my ex-partner, so I let go of the past and could open up for the future. Here's how it felt in some songs like that, as if they were written just for me. Thanks for Gerald Hoffmann!
