It's a rainy day in Hamburg and I've spent it in bed with coffee, candles, blankets and my guitar. Some of you asked me to share my playlist "Time Is Nothing", that I told you about in the last post I made, and of course beautiful things are meant to be shared :) This is a playlist with songs that for me are simply timeless, ethereal and just pure, good songwriting. For me, a good song can survive without any production, stripped to only the melody and the lyrics. When you can hear a song with no layers and huge produced arrangements, and still get touched by it, that's when I know it's a good song to its core. And that is the kind of music I aspire to create. And by being inspired by these great songwriters I hope I will one day. 

I hope you will find both some old and new tunes to accompany another coffee, and please share in the comments your own Spotify playlist, favorite "timeless" song or just what you're listening to right now! I'm always looking for new music to be inspired by :)

Love Always,

Charlotte

Dear friends,

It's a still Sunday morning in Berlin and I'm writing stories on my guitar. I just finished this new little song, and thought I wanted to share the lyrics with you, now that I have this great platform to do it on! I will show you the whole song soon too, but there is something about these lyrics that felt so story-like, that I think they can stand pretty well on their own. I hope you will like it! Have a beautiful Sunday <3

Through In Time

Verse

The time is still, the sun is low

I've never felt this calm before

Spend my days just writing about you

Seasons come and seasons go

Things will fall and things will grow

Still so many things untold

that I'd like to tell to you

There is a crack in the mirror where I live now

covered it up, like the traces on my skin now

like a frame, to rename, all the roads gone wrong

It might get rough as the seasons turning colder

but I’ll stay tough, I am learning to be bolder

I’ll be brave, won’t walk away

because I’d rather walk with you.

Chorus

I will take this heart

my broken parts

and build them up

for you

and if you take me on

I will take you on

and together we’ll get through

through in time

Verse

Let me keep those walls of mine

I've kept them for a long long time

maybe one day I'll take them for you

Let's stay shy, let's take it slow

I’ll stay mine and you stay yours

Let this story have its course

Let’s not measure it in time

Chorus

I wll take this heart

my broken parts

and build them up

for you

and if you take me on

I will take you on

and together we’ll get through

through in time

Outro

A glass of wine, a hand to hold

Let's go home when it gets cold

I've been far, I've wanderer wide

let's not measure this in time
