The Bank (Friedhof | 2023).

A song about a dream, the dream of a world without poverty, despite the consequences of climate change in a difficult country like Bangladesh.

Inspired by the true story of Professor Muhammad Yunus, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the Grameen Bank, a microcredit institution committed to providing small amounts of working capital to the poor for self-employment.

Your Wings is the third single/official video taken from the album Misfit Children.

A dreamlike representation of escape from murky phobias that leads to a vision of freedom and inner peace, in a particular bucolic setting made enigmatic by the black and white photography, the frantic machine movements tamed by the slow-motion, and the facial expression and body role interpretation by strAw.

Original Score: I-Taki Maki

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
Cello: Hanna Roth
Starring: strAw | Mimmi

“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.

Original Score: I-Taki Maki

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.
