"The world lay at our feet - Now it’s going to our heads"
Daniel Bertram's passion is language. Metaphors and allegories line up like a flipbook: Each verse fills a page – and without the listener's involvement, it doesn’t work.
His new, second single "The world lay at our feet," which was created in collaboration with Franz Plasa just like the entire album, impresses spontaneously with its intense lyrics. The song is about living in the moment and possibly missed opportunities while one was busy making other plans.
Daniel's passion for images, stories, and observations is reflected in his debut album with 11 songs. Singer-songwriters are as common as grumblers in winter or, to use Daniel's imagery, "like drunks on park benches." But sounds like crashing kitchenware, disturbingly musty basses, electric guitar wails, and soundscapes reminiscent of old Star Wars films are less expected on the debut album of a new German songwriter. Daniel Bertram is different not only here. His songs delve deep into the musical world of a 27-year-old without sacrificing the universality of his words. The downpour of images in his lyrics feels refreshing. One just has to stand right in the middle and spread their arms.
About Daniel Bertram
In 2011, Daniel Bertram won the "Song of the North" competition organized by NDR television and the radio station N-JOY with his song "Our Sky Breathes"; since then, he has been pursuing his musical career. At the beginning of January, Daniel Bertram released the first single "The Morning" from his debut album ?God in His Lodge," which is scheduled for release in the middle of the year. Daniel Bertram's second passion is moving images. With his anti-racism spot for the 2006 World Cup in Germany (featuring Per Mertesacker and Gerald Asamoah), the then 20-year-old already made headlines worldwide. The clips for his songs also come from Daniel Bertram and are a visual expression of his life world and a feeling of life.
