Die Zeiten sind trübe. Und anstrengend, ermüdend. Die Welt gerät aus den Fugen. Los Angeles brennt, in Österreich stehen die Proto-Faschisten vor der Machtübernahme. Der mächtigste Mann der Welt scheint komplett durchzudrehen, assistiert vom reichsten Mann der Welt, dessen Lügenmaschine niemand Willens ist Einhalt zu gebieten. Dagegen hilft nur Musik. Glücklich machende Musik, wärmende, herzergreifende Musik. Liebeslieder, Hymnen, Lieder, die davon handeln, dass es auch anders gehen könnte. Von den Hollies, Nick Cave, Barclay James Harvest, den Beatles, Beach Boys, Everly Brothers, Roberta Flack, Bob Dylan, Talk Talk, David Sylvian, Bonnie Prince Billy und vielen mehr. Zuversichtlich bleiben!
