Here is a song from the 80s that takes me back to my second studio session. Back then, I was full of energy and determination to conquer the stages of the world. I felt the urge to share my music with the world and to inspire people with my passion and talent. Unfortunately, at that time, I lacked the exceptional musicians with whom I have the privilege to play with today. However, that didn't stop me from pursuing my vision and giving my best.

I remember the moment when Markus and Dietmar played their outstanding solos, and Paddy brought the song to life with his impressive rhythm work. It was a moment of musical collaboration at the highest level that deeply moved me.

The 80s were a time of change and movement. The roommates in my shared apartment changed frequently, and my close friends were scattered across Germany. The distances and the fact that we didn't have the convenience of mobile phones, iPads, Skype, or Zoom back then made it challenging to stay in touch and see each other regularly. However, despite these challenges, our connections remained strong, and we tried to seize every opportunity to meet again and share moments together.

"Waiting at the Station" is a song dedicated to a very special friend whom I was finally able to reunite with after a long time. It was a feeling of joy and reunion when I picked her up from the train station.

With every note I play in "Waiting at the Station," I aim to capture that special time, those unique relationships, and the significance of personal encounters. It is an ode to friendship, memories, and the precious moments we have shared together.

I am grateful for that time and for the people who have accompanied me on my musical journey.

Let the melodies, lyrics, and emotions of "Waiting at the Station" touch you. Take a moment to reminisce and feel the importance of friendship and human connection. May this song inspire you and remind you of the importance of nurturing relationships and cherishing the valuable moments of togetherness.

In that spirit, I wish you much joy in listening.
