Superheroes is the fourth single and official video taken from the album Misfit Children.

A love story between two people who are each other’s strength, each other’s joy and pain, each other’s superhero.
Together, they will fight against the monsters trying to rule the Earth and wipe out humankind.
Together, they merge into a robotic giant, stronger than ever.

“When you have no other choice, you have to deal with it, you have to bite the bullet and carry on. When the sun is gone, when there is no more brightness in your life, the darkness of the night can make you starve.

While the rain was falling, we managed to break the wheel, because we’re superheroes and we’ll never die. Breaking the oath of being together would have meant death, but our name will survive. And you will always be there, hiding, like a blossom in my mouth.”

Original Score: I-Taki Maki

“Misfit Children” is the second single and title track from the album
of the same name, a concept album that was released on March 23, 2020.

“Today’s children are tomorrow’s men. Children will grow up and become
adults, eventually, and as all adults do, they’ll also fail.

How children grow up is everybody’s responsibility. But is it possible
to do a good job as educators if we ourselves are nothing but misfit
adults?

We have been fighting against the worst of storms since our lungs took
their first breath. We have been waiting for a new world to come for
years, we have been crying over our miseries and dancing on our own
ashes... We have been waiting for the end of time and singing our
funeral song.

We are misfit adults.
We are misfit children.

In a Word is the first single from “Misfit
Children” (2020).
“Is it possible to say something
significant in a word?
Is the meaning of the most important things enclosed in a word?
Life is a role to play trying to win both, the battle and the war.
Kids are drowning, starving, and suffering, but masters do not care, it is not their fault, they say, not even if r**e
is a weapon of war.”

Pink City is an indie-movie set in a small town and talks about the loneliness of the souls, hungry for love and care, sometimes in an unbearable way. “Inside a Storm” taken from our album “A Place to Leave” is in the soundtrack of the movie. In the promo clip the stunning Miriam Verena Jeremic, wonderful actress and director, performs in a sensual “pink” dance.

Closer fron the album A Place to Leave (2018).
Do you remember? When you were a child, you used to write letters to Santa Claus. Then you grew older and were told that he’s never existed. So you tried turning on to your mother, but even her endless love couldn’t help. You’ve prayed, when the misery of the unfair world pushed you out, but you’ve not been allowed to come back home. Jesus was not listening to you... you’d probably better hope for a peaceful word from all the unknown persons surrounding you now, that you’ve never met before. Have you ever been here? Every foreign road you’ve crossed, every burst of tears you’ve wept, every stranger smile you’ve met and returned ...those will be the things that will really heal your bruises, making you feel closer to your roots. Then, you’ll find some peace, then you’ll dissolve your pain in a blind armless hug.

What is love? Love between lovers, between mothers and children,
between people and their own lands. The one she loves can be her man,
her brother, her unborn, unconceived child. The son that will never
grow up in her womb. They could have grown up together, but they
won’t, they can’t. Because she needs to leave now, to leave her lover,
her family, her friends, her land, the ground where she used to run
when she was a kid. She needs to abandon her desire to be a mother,
because there’s no safe place to raise her kid. What is love then? A
white wall slot between closed doors.
