Hi there from Germany! 👋

A cis him, born 1981, I work as a software developer and have been making music as a hobby all my life. I play the classical guitar, but make most music on the computer.

I've been taking part in FAWM since 2022. FAWM helped me break my overthinking and now keeps me coming back for new ideas and collaborations.

If you'd like to do something together, just post me a message. I'm always looking for lyrics that inspire me, vocalists who'd like to sing my songs. Don't hesitate to turn me away if I offer you a demo and you don't like what you hear - no hard feelings, promise. 🙂

Feel free to criticize anything about my songs. As a non-native speaker, even grammar police is welcome. 😅

If I comment one of your songs, I have listened to it in full length. No need to reciprocate or say thanks - I enjoy listening to your stuff; it's why I'm here. 😉

Outside, you'll usually find me on https://www.musesongwriters.com and https://recording.de.

Thank you so much Florian. Congratulations on winning 👏

@nadine 5d

Kurz hier, bevor es im Forum hin und her pingt xD Matt hat ein Forum aufgebaut, aber da ist nur ein Bruchteil der Leute: https://fawm.org/forums/3595 wahrscheinlich muss ich meine eigenen Listen darüber führen...

I was confused when you said "no critique" intended; I loved seeing that list. As to the location in Spain, it was closer to Málaga. If I could take an EasyJet flight to Spain, I'd be there several months out of the year

@freshspotlessyouth 1w

I don't remember where I came across the word "zugunruhe," but I put it into my notebook of song ideas some months ago. Given that I don't speak German at all, it's nice to know a word that most German speakers don't know That's for that list of other words expressing the same general idea. I was in the south of Spain a few months ago. I think most of your compatriots were there (though some of those folks might have been Dutch.) :)

@florian 1w

😁 No critique intended, by the way, in case I got across harsh? My idea was more to throw some other interesting words your way, in case you're looking for further inspiration.

Did those dudes drink Sangría out of buckets and sing "döp döp döp" while jumping up and down to a techno beat? Then definitely German. 🤣

Mallorca, the Spanish island, is (in)famous for its German tourism and tourists. It's one of our cheapest holiday destinations. Simple people fly there for boozing and partying and ... other stuff. 🤪

Hey, thanks much for stopping by and listening to Elizabeth Street Garden. You got me wondering it I could find the article, and I did! Here it is (under Metropolitan Diary): https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/07/nyregion/metropolitan-diary.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

There's several short stories, so scroll down. Enjoy!

@florian 1w

Thanks for sharing! I had found the column, but not the story you referred to. 😊 It's not my city, but I've been subscribing the NY Times for years and these columns always draw me in; so heart-warming and funny - so human. And thanks again for your song, it breathes that same beautiful feeling of kindness. 😊

@katestantonsings 1w

Hi Florian! I just sent you the Vocal Melody for Group 4. Please let me know if you need anything else from me. Thank you!!

@kahlo2013 1w

Thank you! I would love that!!!!

@coolparadisoMod 2w

I've sent you an email with some lyrics for our random collaboration

@jamkar 2w

Greetings my friend. Great to see you here! I need to catch up with your works!

@stephenwordsmith 2w

Danke schon fur your comment. I actually discovered that game while doing some 'research' for the song. Spent longer that I'm proud to admit on drawing the perfect circle.

@musicsongwriter 2w

Hi Florian, I'm so glad you are back, you are okay, you create. I'm really sorry for your wife's situation. I hope it will improve. Thank you for finding an opportunity to write. I appreciate it.

@nadine 2w

Lyrics

Magic, Unexpected 30h Layover

Verse 1

I got blisters under my feet I’m parched and I probably stink I only got the clothes that I wear Don’t even know if I’ll get diner

But I don’t care ‘Cause it’s bliss When you have nowhere to be…

Chorus

There was trouble in the skies I missed my connecting flight And now I’m stuck here in Amsterdam For a day, so I walk the time away I enjoy the sights On this magic, unexpected, 30h layover

Verse 2

I’ve seen the canals, I’ve seen the bikes A few nice ladies, all leather-clad Big chunks of cheese, leaning houses So many bridges, I can’t count

It’s so fun to be here When I’m not supposed to be…

Chorus

There was trouble in the skies I missed my connecting flight And now I’m stuck here in Amsterdam For a day, so I walk the time away I enjoy the sights On this magic, unexpected, 30h layover

@musicsongwriter 3w

Hi Florian. I hope you are well. Happy FAWM.
