Painting on Glass - The Markus Zosel Music Podcast

Welcome to Episode 11 of »Painting on glass«.

Great to see you again and we now take a step forward right into today’s topic of this podcast episode: the song »Stories in my mind«.

I have to admit that there is something new and something old to it. Why’s that? I’m going to tell you in the minutes to follow… let’s go!

In Fall 2019 I watched the news and I saw thousands of young people, mostly students of the local university, marching through the old streets of Hongkong. They were on their march for freedom of speech and a formal freedom that was guaranteed to them since the colonial days of British Hongkong. Now, I saw protest and a police that kept fighting these young kids in a way that was really hard to look at. So it began. www.markus-zosel.com

When talking about his song "Flow Ye Waters" Markus Zosel is reflecting on time itself. He says: "I have always been a miner in search of the secrets according to the way time does pass. Many people do so - I have done so all my life und I guess I always will."

I’ve never reflected myself as a special person, I never did. I just had my guitar, a piano and all the songs I wrote to play on both of them.

I promised to continue with the song »Hollywood Boulevard« - I do now! But there are two more songs to mention: »Mount Wilson« and »At The Pool«. Why`s that? I gotta tell you in this episode. Thank you so much for having me once again. I am glad you’re with me again. Now, come with me to Hollywood in April 2017.  www.markus-zosel.com

Did you ever think about the fact that most of life’s important things happen by accident? You do not really intend to do so - they just happen! "Off we go" is one of many songs that happened this way. But it did much more than this. It opened up a wider public and a lot more space for me.

Love of a lifetime - or whatever that means.

»Most of your songs are love-songs, aren’t they?«. That is a sentence I have heard frequently in the passing of recent years on stage and publishing. Let us see in this one what is true to this sentence - and what is not. Get more information about the musical work of Markus Zosel at www.markus-zosel.com.

Today we’re going to take a look on a song which was published on the album »Songs For Whoever« in 2012. It has got little references to a Bob Dylan song called »Farewell Angelina«. Dylan describes a changing world, scary situations or even madness around him while talking to a fictitious person that is called Angelina. Let me take you now into my song and see....

Thank you so much for calling back and tuning in again.

In this episode I am going to take you out - on a hillside road under blue skies, with a fantastic view all around on green hill, meadows and mountains and a wind softly caressing you hair and face.

Let’s get there together - come on!
