STREAMING:
Hello guys! Today, I want to share a new tune with y’all that started pretty spontaneously as a fun little side project. Way back in 2022 (I know that’s not way back but... xD), when I was visiting Emma Marie in Colorado, USA, I came up with the idea of making a song called “Stranger In The .“ because I really loved that concept of me, as a stranger to the U.S. writing a song about it in a fun little love story. Then in 2023, I performed a couple of Shows with Ventura Fox and Friends playing Disney songs in a couple of cities in Germany. At these shows, Sammy was the man of guitars rockin the electric, acoustic and a banjo. When I heard him play, I knew that I would need that for a song - a country song. So I did some research, trying to find a period where his banjo fits in a more modern style and found the era, I wanted to be inspired by - the contemporary country songs of the early 2010’s. Influenced by this decade, I went back to the studio in January 2024, recorded 100 layers, sent it over to Sammy with a letter to come by and record some guitars and banjo in my studio near Magdeburg, GER. Some weeks later Antje, a phenomenal singer from my region joined the project by giving it her amazing backing vocals for the final chorus. Later, Stephanie Gorzellok joined the project with her amazing violin skills giving it an authentic touch.
This was a really fun and creative song project. I really was able to learn many things about producing this kind of genre and style. Later in early June, we visited my friend Jörg at his home which, besides being in a wonderful little village, offered a beautiful paddock for us to record the video on. With some little editing magic that turned the juicy green grass yellow and added some mountains in the back, this little video was born. I really love how all of this turned out and can’t thank all the amazing people working on it enough! Thank you to Sammy, to Antje Reich, to Jörg Brunner and his wife, to Christopher Konrad on the camera and to my parents and everyone else who visited us on set!

Lyrics:
It’s in your style it is in your eyes it is
In your lips it is in your kiss
I first met her at the summer party in town
Karaoke Night
She was there to sing songs with her friends all around
Softly following the light
Waiting for the one
For that song
Then they played Florida Georgia Line
And she looked at me
My heart beat
Fast, faster in her shine
It’s in your style, it is in your eyes
It is in your lips, it is in your kiss
Baby, you make this place home, I feel brand new
My only wish is to marry you
Girl, let’s never look down
Cause it happened in fractions of time
I fell in love with you, little did I know
That you did too when I was
A stranger in the country
Oh yeah
Oh baby, grab your bags and hop onto my car
Let’s explore the big unknown
I cannot wait to learn more about what has begun
With you being the one
Oh, when you sing with me
Then I feel, I feel
The one I’ve always missed is you
You turn the radio on
Playing just this song, this song
Because it is about you
It’s in your style, it is in your eyes
It is in your lips, it is in your kiss
Baby, you make this place home, I feel brand new
My only wish is to marry you
Girl, let’s never look down
Cause it happened in fractions of time
I fell in love with you, little did I know
That you did too when I was
A stranger in the country
A stranger in the country
A stranger in the country
A stranger in the country
Oh yeah
It’s in your style, it is in your eyes
It is in your lips, it is in your kiss
Baby, you make this place home, I feel brand new
My only wish is to marry you
And girl, let’s never look down
Cause it happened in fractions of time
I fell in love with you, little did I know
That you did too when I was
A stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
A stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
A stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
A stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
Oh girl, come on
Girl, let’s never look down, no no
Cause it happened in fractions of time
I fell in love with you, little did I know
That you did too when I was
A stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
Girl, a stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
I was a stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
A stranger in the country
And I was, and I was, and I was
