#58 - Promise - Somewhere out in the Summer Rain

Today it’s all about a walk in the summer rain. We’re heading right to the end of August and it feels like a good time for this topic. So - grab your umbrella and let’s go…. :-) And, of course, it's much so more than just walking in the rain.

#57 - The unspoken - as a part of me and you

In this episode Markus wants to talk about the unspoken in everybody’s mind - and how it affects writing. Let’s see what we can find in the following ten minutes…!
The song »As a part of me« was taken from the album »Patches« released in 2011. This album is only available as a physical CD. Just have a look at Markus Zosel’s Online Store.

#55 - Arthouse. A simple idea about to come true someday?

You know that I sing songs, I write the songs and I am writing books. And you know that I am teacher. This is what I do to earn a living. Education is a topic that takes a lot of space in m every day life and I’ve always felt very privileged that I have the opportunity to teach, to pass along knowledge to the young - which is quite wonderful, I think.
Ten years ago I started to write a novel which dealt with the matters of education in an old university town which is settled close beside a lovely river. That’s where the name »Lahnufer« came from and this is where the start today.

#54 - All night. We gotta be going somewhere

Welcome back to this episode which took a little longer to publish. That is because of a very busy time. Making a living sometimes needs all attention and does not leave any chance for the things you’d love to do instead. 
But this is episode 54 and I hope it’ll be the one you’re about to like. So, let’s get right into it now.

#53 - To...? This one is for you!

Have you ever received the gift of a song for yourself? No?
No problem at all, because this one, yes, this one right here is for you and its comes from all of my heart along with the wish to make you smile and to brighten up your day for a little while.
That’s all it wants to aim. And maybe, yes, maybe - it’ll stay in your heart.

#52 - I made up my own world within...

Most of my songs are in English. I love this language and it has always been a door to all communication on an international scale and I am very grateful for this essential reason.
But from time to time I find myself in the mood and the need to express myself in the language which is the one I learned first - my native tongue. 
This song is a good example for what I am talking about.
